I have a McDavid Rookie from 2015-16 Champ's and, despite searching the board and doing some online research, I'm not sure if this is a gold front variation only or a dual gold front and gold back variation.
Please help. I will ultimately be looking to sell, perhaps grading in the meantime.

stupid, I linked the photos off Flickr but they didn't show. Stay tuned

Thanks, My confusion lies in the fact that I have read that there are Gold Front variations and Gold back variations and sometimes both. Reaching out to the Hi community gets me the expert knowledge I'm looking for!
here are the photos:

I do not believe there are “gold back only” versions. It is either gold front which is just the gold border as you have pictured but with a regular back that has stats, or the gold back which has both the gold border on the front and the different looking back as you have pictured above.

So in the end you have the more rare gold back version.
 
The “gold back” variation has the same as the gold front but the Champs hockey emblem as shown. By the odds, getting an SP with the gold back variant is 1:100. This is from card 271-315. So getting the McDavid version is pretty special. It definitely deserves a mag loader.

Numbern9ne has a great collection of threads that place the odds of many of these card sets. For the 15-16 Champs, you have to dig to pg 24 of his “started” threads. There are two for the set. One is broken down better for groups than the other which is broken down based on the card # in the set.
