The difference that is listed is that the hobby has holofoil on the front and the retail has solid silver foil. Well, about three different times now I've started to pull the set apart thinking I've figured out which cards have holofoil and which cards have silver and every time I've given up after about the first 20 cards. Keep in mind we're only talking about a sliver around the names and the ultra logo on front. After a while they all look either shimmery or silver. I'm dead set against picking up the last card, version be damned and considering it a complete set, but I don't know how I'm ever going to figure out which card is which (Thank you very much Upper Deck. At least this is the last year they put out an Ultra set). So I'm reaching out to see if anyone has any foolproof ways of telling the hobby and retail versions apart. Any ideas would be appreciated.Thank you.</blockquote>
