What's the difference between these two cards?

1994-95 Upper Deck Predictor Hobby #H28
1994-95 Upper Deck Predictor Hobby Gold Prizes #H28

Any help is appreciated!
 
If I remember correctly, they had a gold parallel set for these redemptions. If the player on the predictor won, you got either the special mini-set or a gold foiled one. I could be wrong, they had a predictor thing in almost every product that year, and I think that was the way it was for baseball and hockey.
 
So this would be an example of the "gold prizes" version?

And this would be an example of the regular version?

Looking here, it looks like COMC has confused the two versions, they have 2 blues and 1 gold listed as the same card:

Looking at those Forsbergs, it looks like the backs are different also. The gold ones list the results of that trophy, the regular ones have rules on the back...

Thanks for the lead Boomer, I think I got what I wanted. Turns out I have two of the Gold ones for my Potvin collection, so I need the regular blue one. Thanks again!

I think the ones with the rules were the ones inserted in packs for the contest. Different players all would have cards for each award. The ones with gold foil would be the redeemed prizes- if the player on the card won that award, you sent it in and got a special card set of all the award winners.
It's so long ago, and they had these predictor things in every single product for 3 years running, it's hard to keep it straight, but if you have the rules Forsberg and the gold foil Forsberg, you might be covered, unless he won another award that year.
