2000 Bowman Chrome FB question

When the lighting isn't particularly helpful, how can one tell the difference between Refractor and non-Refractor?

    The word "REFRACTOR" under the card number on the back is a good hint. ;)

    For baseball, 1995 was the last year for Best/Chrome that not all refractors were noted on the card, everything after that was explicitly stated so I would guess it's similar for football. Confirmed on at least the 2000s.

    ETA: 1996 Bowman's Best BB had one insert set that can be found with/without the notation.
