1999 finest peel & reveal

[teammaddux]

I purchased two of these cards (Maddux) at the National this weekend. One has a sparkly background, the other has nothing as a background, just clear. I am trying to figure out what is what as far as what versions I have, given that there are the sparkle, hyperplaid and stadium star versions. I looked on Ebay but the scans didn't really help. The info on Beckett.com says that you had to take off the peel to reveal which of the three it was, but I almost feel that taking off the peel will turn it into the plain looking card.

Any info would be appreciated.

I would say the one with nothing in the background has not been peeled and the other is the sparkle..

well the ironic thing to that is that the one that has nothing doesn't look like it has a peeling...the surface is all smudged, etc., something you would expect to see after taking off protective peeling. Furthermore, the sparkle one does look like it still has a protective coating on it...that is why I'm confused about Beckett's description.

I have a Pat Burrell that has the sparkles so that's why I assumed that.. Perhaps a scan?
