What is the difference between the 2016 Topps High Tek Autograph Tidal Diffractor and the regular autograph? Comparing posted pictures I don't see a difference. At first I thought it was the circles on the back but the picture of the Tidal Diffractor of Andres Galarraga does not have those. Is it just that picture is incorrect? The backs of the Johnny Damon ones are different.

The Difference is the swirls, they are visible front and back. The Andres Galarraga image is that of the regular auto, not the Tidal Diffractor.

That makes sense. So the images of those are just all over the place as the regular autographs show images with the swirls on some of them. Thanks!
