Dumb Question about Refractors

jjgoat

Ok I am going to sound like a newb here but explain to me how I can tell if a card is a refractor or not? I've bought alot of mid to late 90s unopened packs which included chrome cards but have not idea if any of them are actually refractors. Will it say on the card somewhere?

I know the '93 Topps Finest Refractors don't have a designation on the front or back of the card, but, I believe every other issue should have either an 'R' somewhere on the back of the card or 'Refractor' spelled out somewhere on the back. For the ones that don't have a designation on them, place them all together in a pile and sort through them, the refractor will definitely stick out.

Take them out in the sun. Refractors explode.
