2014 Topps Chrome Refractor Question
|
I bought my first hobby box of Topps Chrome ever yesterday. Every base card in the box looks like a refractor. This makes me unsure on the difference between the refractor parallel and the base chrome. Did I just happen to get a box of refractors or am I just confused on the difference??

The base cards have a silvery look to them but do not refract light (no rainbow effect when you move the card around). I think with the hobby packs you get four cards, and usually one is either a refractor of some sort or another insert.

Ok, so I was thinking right. Every one of these cards has the rainbow effect! The Gregory Polanco Auto and Chris Owings Auto have the basic silvery look but that's the only ones. I guess its possible to get an entire box of refractors....

Judging by the amount of cards pictured I would think you bought a $20 blaster box, which can have refractor hot boxes where all the base cards are refractor versions. But you say you got a hobby box and you also got 2 autos. I didn't know a hobby box could be all refractors. That's pretty cool.
If you see anything you want in any of my break posts and you have any Frank Thomas cards you are willing to trade please let me know.

That's pretty cool.It was a 96 card hobby box ($56.99) and I just confirmed after consulting a buddy of mine that they ARE all refractors. They have REFRACTOR on the bottom left corner above the Topps logo on the back of the card. He couldn't believe it and I'm the new guy who didn't even realize what I had lol.
Congrats!!! You hit a hot box!!! 1 in every 3 cases btw!
