    Lets see what I come out with. Be warned that they don't photograph too great. In person the have much more of a silver apperance and the background variations are more pronounced.

2000 Pacific Prism

#119 J. D. Drew (Cardinals)

   This is the base version. The camera flash reflects all the colors in the holographic like background.



#54 Damon Easley (Tigers) Purple 74/99

   Again the flash does some strange things with the purple background. The serial numbering is small and black just under the "2B"




# 123 Fernando Tatis (Cardinals)

   Base version again.




#126 Tony Gwynn (Padres) Rapture Silver

     Here is the Rapture Silver version. Same silver like color with a different grain.




#132 Freddy Garcia (Mariners)

    Back to base version.



A couple of the backs.

     All the backs look the same.

MY RATINGS:
Front Design: 8 out of 10 Good pictures, nice design, awesome colorful holographic like backgrounds,  no team logo.
Back Design:
 7 out of 10 Nice design, team logo,  fair player info, good layout, one year stats.
Player Selection: 7 out of 10 Good, 1 HOFer.

FINAL OVERALL RATING: Double down the line. I really like these cards and love the backgrounds. Anybody who likes chasing rainbows will have a field day with this set as there are many different colors and background variations of each card.

   I am going to find a player to chase a rainbow but it wont be a superstar as they can be costly. Stay tuned to The Baseball Card Buffet for more of these and a chance to get some yourself in the near future.


Thanks for Reading!
