How to tell if Bonds is a refractor

How to tell if Bonds is a refractor
I have the 93 Barry Bonds Baseball's Finest All Stars... but when I looked up the price, it's either $15, or $250 for the refractor! Big difference, obviously. 

How do I know if it's a refractor?

Use imgbb.com to post a photo and we will be able to see it.

When you hold it up to the light, do you see a flat surface or do you see wavy colors?

What RJ said but also remember back in those days refractors were not as prevalent as they are today. You would only get about 2 per box! Another way to tell is there will be a rainbow color coming off the card and it will look like sunlight hit it.

Thanks guys! I took it to my LCS and they said no... and showed me a couple refractors, compared to non, so that I actually know what I'm looking for. 

Bummer... I'd love a $250 Bonds! :-) Still a cool card.

Thanks for the tip on imgbb.com! It's been a pain trying to get images to show up on the forum :-(
