Any thoughts on this? I’m at a loss. One is Wayne Gretzky, the other is Saku Koivu. Much appreciated!

Found below. This is from the Mystery Finest set Topps produced in the late 90s across all sports. They put the black film over the card and the back indicated who may be on the front of the card. Up to the collector on whether they wanted to peel it (I would!)

Note: They had a bad habit of putting the card number on the front to make it more difficult to determine what you had in hand.

When night comes creeping in,
Dark restless shades arise.
Prepare to crawl and run.
The Black is here tonight.

1998-99 Topps - Mystery Finest #M4 Wayne Gretzky w/ the film still on it 1998-99 Topps - Mystery Finest - Refractor #M18 Saku Koivu w/ the film still on it I think you have to take the film off the fronts to know if they are the bronze, silver, or gold versions.
