BKB - Topps Chrome

I have several 96-97 Topps Chrome basketball from a recent purchase. does the "R" on the back of the card next to the card number denote "refractor"? I've attached scans of a card. Most of the refractors in the others sports actually have the word "refractor" or "atomic refractor" on them.



Thanks,

David (LD_Ferg)

    Yea, the R does denote a refractor. 1996 was the year Topps Chrome was introduced. Are you selling your refractors?
    I collect Topps Chrome Basketball Rookie Refractors, particularly from 96-97, and limited edition rookies of Taiwanese baseball players.

    Initially, I thought 96-97 Topps Chrome basketball refractors were "RARE".
    There was a AZ eBay seller that had (10,000) 96-97 Topps Chrome basketball refractors.
    All the refractors were perfectly centered, but had severe surface scratches.
    It was obvious the Refractors weren't from wax...wink!wink!
