Almost Acetate Appreciation: 2000 Stadium Club 3x3 Luminious

This is the second time I have been tricked into thinking a card was acetate then it wasn't. Usually when the card back has a mirrored image of the front, it's a good sign. This card is different in that its a regular chrome card, but the sideways lines in the card are actually die-cut slits. A very weird idea on an already weird card, part of the 3x3 Luminous insert set that has a left, right and center (this card being a right) that interlock into each other.  An interesting idea, but one that doesn't do much for me, as I really get annoyed by trying to store cards that are not the regular rectangle shape.

Acetate Appreciation: 2000 Stadium Club Chrome Eyes of the Game

A 10 card insert set from 2000 Stadium Club Chrome with cards inserted at a rate of 1:16, and paralleled with a Refactor set found at a rate of 1:80 packs.These are actually pretty nice looking cards, as with a lot of acetate the scans don't do them justice. The card is mostly clear including most of the player close-up.

The 1999-2000 hockey, 1999-2000 basketball and 1999 Football Stadium Chrome set also had acetate insert called "Eyes of the Game" but featured different designs.
