Litho-Cel

The 90's brought us many innovations. Card companies went out of their way to be the most creative and tried to outdo others, something that we lack in today's market with all of the exclusives.

They added prisms, foil, holograms and something called Litho-Cel.

Litho-Cels were two layered cards that Pacific created in 1996. The weird thing was, each pack came with cards and a litho-cel but it may not always match up. Actually, I don't think it ever did.

So these are what the base or bottom cards look like in the set. Odd huh? Wait til you see what happens to it....

Back of the card

This is what the Litho-Cels looks like. This is actually the silver parallel Litho-Cel looks like. Yes, these also had parallels you needed to chase.

When you put the Litho-Cel on top of the base card...magic happens....

 

You get a clear, well somewhat, colored photo. Pretty cool idea, just tough to put all together the way they organized the product. But, I guess the chase is part of the fun. 

I am so glad that Jammin JD Sports Cards was able to help me land both parts in this case. Now I just need to chase the other parallels down.
