    K-Rod's rookies are 2000 Bowman & Topps Traded (& Chrome for both.)

    Refractors in '03 Chrome were numbered. Blue, Gold and Black.

    There are 5 different kinds of refractor in 2003 Topps Chrome. They're all numbered in gold, so it's the border you'll need to look at to tell the difference.


    Uncirculated XFractor #/57

    Black Refractor: #/199

    Gold refractor #/449

    Regular (blue) refractor #/699
    *the one you pictured above*

    Silver refractor (not numbered)

    Good question. Beckett's website doesn't have any info on them.

    If you're a modern registry builder, picking up that stuff raw and getting it graded is a great way to jump ahead and stay ahead of the competition. Especially for Topps sets...
