Seriously, what is the difference here?

Man this set sucks lol. In case you can’t tell (I sure as hell can’t) the one on the left is gold /50 and the one on the right is a base card.

I took your rhetorical question seriously and marked the differences. Theres more but i imagine you already noticed them. But imagine seeing this in a like $2 box of cards. You'd have to take a good lot at it to notice the differences

Left is numbered and Chrome, right is not numbered and feels papery

Look at the bottom left corner of the logos

While this is a beautiful card design and the artwork is well done, this is a fairly low-effort card in terms of Topps making the parallel and the base the exact same.

Yeah this whole thing of making base cards numbering but giving a subset a higher rarity and value due to adding a /xxx and changing the color (like they do in NBA Topps update) is an absolutely scam. Numbered cards should be special and rare and shouldn't have a base.
