Maybe this is too obvious, but:

The easiest way to tell is look at the"o" in Louisville in the Centerbrand.

On the 1991-97 the inside circle is a lot bigger and rounder than the 1998 (to Current). The 1998 (to current) is smaller and more egg/oval shaped.

On 1998's there is no MLB Player's Logo on the front, starting in 1999 to 2000. Also, no TPX Logo or Player's Logo on the back, starting in 2001.

Also on 1998 and up, the "i" is under the 1 & 2 of the 125. The "i" under the 2 & 5 of the 125 on 1991-97.....

1998 on top, 1991-1997 on bottom
