How do I tell Rainbow or not?

[bradtpenney]

Looking for some help...

How do I tell the difference between 2013-14 Upper Deck Shining and 2013-14 Upper Deck Shining Rainbow?

And which are these?

They have a refractor like quality.

Here is a non-rainbow Malkin, which looks like the Malkin in you image.

That does look like the one i have, I have a feeling the ones I have are not Rainbow...

But dosent that malkin look like the rinne?

If you see two of them together you instantly know which is the rainbow and which is not. The gold on the corners is really shinny.

In the pic above, the Luongo in the middle is a Rainbow, while the Lundqvist and Rinne are not. The ones in your pic are not. To me, the differentiation is easy - the "stripes" of the background starburst effect are dark blue in the regular version, gold in the Rainbow version.

I agree that the Rinne in the above posts looks odd, but I think that is just the background holofoil catching the light at a certain angle. The stripes are clearly golden.

The Rinne above is how the Rainbow appears when scanned. When a pic is snapped, the rainbow appears as the Kunitz.

Ah, thanks! Interesting how the pic is sometimes better than the scan!
