I did not realize there was a gold variation, news to me. I wonder what UD will end up doing with them, I hardly see them being used in replacements.
I do believe the value of the base silver foil variations of mcdavid and matthews will continue climb particularly for the fact that based on inital resale value being so low for them which led to less being combined, they became very rare, especially in comparison to the base yg, and particularly so if highly graded.

I'm referring to the rainbow gold foil - which requires you to turn in 5 silver foil's to make one, exclusively on ePack (25 base set YGs total). I don't think the McDavid YG rainbow gold foil has been made. And I know of only one Matthews Rainbow gold foil.
The silver foils are under appreciated for a reason, they are typically worth less than the 5 base set YGs required to make one. I think people had realized this with McDavid, which might explain why there are fewer Matthew's silver foil YGs.
Just FYI:
- the BGS pop report for McDavids' silver foil YG shows a total of 128: 8 BGS 10s, 114 BGS 9.5s
- The rainbow gold foil YG is not in the pop report for McD
- the BGS pop report for Matthews' silver foil YG shows a total of 9: 1 BGS 10, 8 BGS 9.5
- The rainbow gold foil YG for Matthews is pop 1 (BGS 9.5). I knew the previous owner of this card.
