Bowman Chrome box from target
So I just realized that I the small box of 2012 Bowman CHrome that I bought from target that contained 7 packs of cards....not only had the Blue Refractor Nick Castellanos Autograph #120/125....but every card in every pack was a refractor card. What are the chances of that? Also-are they refractor cards or X-fractor cards? Whats the difference?

That's called a hot box. Regular refractors are just kinda rainbowish....and the x-fractors will have boxes all over the card. Hope that helps and makes sense ha.

X-fractors have a checkered pattern to them - they're available in blaster boxes only. As for the odds of all of the cards being refractors AND the auto? I have no idea, but that's an awesome pull.

Refractor Hot Box! Nice Castellanos pull. Refractors look rainbowish, X-Fractors are checkerboarded, as previously stated.
