did they mark cards as "refractor" on the back of 2002 topps chrome cards? just wondering because i recently acquired a rc from that year that has the rainbow color of a refractor but it doesnt have the marking on the back stating it is so.

unless they put it somewhere else and im missing it.

the rookie refractors were numbered to 100 that year, regular refractors numbered to 599

the regular is also green, the refractor was black

I think the base rookies have a refractor front and are not numbered.... I could be wrong.

I believe my David Carr had a refractor front and was unnumbered....but I gave it to my ungrateful nephew back in 2002!! . That was a decently priced card back in the day!!

ok so...

1.no serial number

2.no "refractor" label on the back

3.rookies from 2002 had the refractor face


so its in fact a base card then right?

lol i wasnt gonna make it a big issue, myself i thought it was a refractor but figured they might not have labeled them as such that year or something. i didnt collect at all during those years so i didnt know.

i think its kind of stupid to put a refractor shine on something thats not a refractor lol.

[jacobystealshome]

i posted links where you could see front and back for both refractor and non refractor versions of the cards

Well, it's a $15 difference right? like jacobystealshome said the regular base rookie card is green the refractor is black and numbered to 100 and is labeled a refractor.
