2009 Topps Legends Chrome Walmart Cereal Refractors
I have about a dozen 2009 Topps Legends Chrome Walmart Cereal cards and they all look like Refractors to me. How do we differentiate between them? Do the Refractors have Refractor printed on them?

refractors have the rainbow effect when reflecting it in the light

Then I guess I haven't seen one of these that isn't a Refractor. Do the regular cards not have a shiny finish to them? Does anyone have a scan of a regular card as opposed to a refractor?

i havent seen these cards before, but you can tell the difference between a chrome and a refractor.....you have a scan of this card?
a chrome is like a mirror and its also shiny

If I remember correctly, the legends cards that were inserted into the boxes for 09 and 10 were all refractors. I'm pretty sure the cereal boxes state one exclusive legends refractor per box or something along those lines

You are correct. I dug out the cereal boxes and it does say right on the side that it includes one Platinum Chrome Refractor inside. So, they are all refractors and apparently Beckett must be listing non-refractors in error?

I think the way Beckett lists them is just as they are since there are no parallel versions, they are refractors. I guess the best way to say this is they are all refractive.

This is how Beckett is listing them and this is why I'm confused:
2009 Topps Legends Chrome Wal Mart Cereal #PR1 Ted Williams - $10.00
2009 Topps Legends Chrome Wal Mart Cereal Gold Refractors #PR1 Ted Williams - $20.00
2009 Topps Legends Chrome Wal Mart Cereal Refractors #PR1 Ted Williams - $12.00
If there is only a Refractor and a Gold Refractor, what is the other one? A non-existent card?

The gold refractors are really gold in color you would know if you had a gold, they were few and far between. I think I got one gold out of 40 of those things.lol.. The others are all refractor. I would lit it as the refractor, I think the plain in Beckett is an error .
