I noticed that there are some "Gold Refractors" that have been graded in baseball, however, from what I've seen on Ebay, they look identical to regular refractors. What's the difference?

I found a box of 2000 Bowman Chrome baseball for sale at Dave & Adam's, but "Bowman Chrome Gold" is not listed as one of the parallel sets.

    Bowman Chrome Gold refractors and Refractors are the same thing in the 2000 set. The 'Gold' Refractors got named that because they have a gold signature. There is a retro/future parallel that has tough odds...

    Edit to add: Your odds are really good on pulling the refractors in those boxes. I've always ended up getting 6+ refractors in a 24 ct box. Considering the rookie pitchers in that set (Zambrano, Zito, Sheets, Oswalt), there's a lot of potential...
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

    An auction just ended for a PSA 9 "Gold Refractor" Zito, and I contemplated tossing in a bid, as I don't have a Zito rookie yet. I figured, since I need his rookie for my CY Young Award registry set, I might as well get a refractor while I'm at it if the price is right. The card sold for $36, and after a little more looking, I kinda kicked myself for not sniping it, as Zambrano refractors seem to be selling for $70+ raw.

    I'm a Ben Sheets collector, and those 2000 Bowman refractors are very tough to find, as are the Retro/Future refractors.
