Thoughts on refractors

sivotco1

i love em and collect em--any of em--anybody got an opinion on their potential down the road?

i have been considering several diff sets

will they be in demand above and beyond the normal issues--scarcity varies but they are all

shorter printed than the regular issues---are they just a fad?

CNote

I have a lot of them....expensive ones and low #'d

That's my thought

I would buy the ones I thought were "pretty."

MOST of them prolly have limited future values as an "investment."

I like them but I am a bit biased.

Phil,

That is a very impressive list of 93 refractors. I actually have a very hard time telling the difference between regular 93 Finest and the refractor version. So needless to say the only ones I purchase would be graded. The only one I own (That I know of) is Sandberg PSA 9.

I think that is the case for a lot of folks because you can actually pick up refractors listed as base for both '93s and '94s fairly often.

I really enjoy refractors, not all, but the vast majority look very nice.

Other than '93 and '95 Refractors, I think the best cards ever produced with the "rainbow" coating are Donruss' version of the refractor, used from '96 to '98, heavily so in that final year.

refractors are nice, especially the 2009 Topps legends or whatever they are, the ones that are of HOF'ers, those are beautiful cards
