So, I went to Beckett and cut-and-paste a list of 2011 Mike Schmidt cards. Weeded out of memorabilia and autos, and the stupid 1/1s, and was left with a nice little list. Was able to pick up most of them, too. A couple still elude me.

Anyway. I'm having trouble telling the difference between some of the variants. I have these listed:

2011 Topps #50B (which I still need, hint hint)
2011 Topps Diamond Anniversary #50B (which I also still need, another hint)

2011 Topps Lineage Diamond Anniversary Platinum Refractors #53
2011 Topps Lineage Diamond Anniversary Refractors #53

I was guessing that the 2011 Topps Diamond Anniversary was the sparkly card.

But I'm confused between the Lineage variants. Is the Platinum Refractor the sparkly one? And the Refractor just a refractor?
 
The Diamond Anniversary Topps card was from the factory sets available as prizes from the Million Card Giveaway online redemptions. These differ from the base cards by having a Diamond Anniversary Logo stamp in place of the regular Topps stamp and also having small writing above the player's name.

For the Lineage, the Platinum Refractors have the sparkly finish, where as the regular refractors have the regular foil.
