What in the world is a non-refractor/refractor?

Im gonna hit this card for my Joe Germaine master set

so no-one try and snag it or I'll hunt you down

So which is it, a refractor or not? Maybe the grader wasnt sure either?

I think its a new service where PSA lets the owner determine which he would like....

Matt, I hope you know that the rabid Joe Germaine collectors are going to bid you right out of the market for this one...

Sorry Matt, that is an error. It is Troy Germaine and Joe Aikman. Huge money.

Did the seller show the back?

almost looks like germaine is a non-refractor and the scrub guy is a refractor, I don't buy new stuff so I can/will be way wrong at times! Maybe it's a no-protector refractor?

"scrub guy"

I think your right about the card though

I think it refers to those rumors going around at one time about our boy Troy. Kind of like AC/DC. A little too much towel snapping and sword fighting if you know what I mean.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

edited to hide my stupidity....

I just remembered that these came with one or both sides as a refractor, so there are a bunch of combos available.

It's incredibly stupid that they would refractorize only half of the card.

Spot on. There is a nonrefractor/refractor, and the other way around is a refractor/nonrefractor. Not so sure if both sides is a refractor/refractor.

In 1999, Finest Baseball and Football had these dual player cards that came in (4) versions...

Refractor / Refractor
Refractor / Non-Refractor
Non-Refractor / Refractor
Non-Refractor / Non-Refractor

Additionally, PSA recognizes these cards as coated or non-coated based on if the Finest coating has been peeled. Making a total of (8) combinations. Totally crazy....

lmm are you cornering the market on germaines?

MeteoriteGuy · July 11, 2007 9:50AM

samspop is correct. There are four version of each of those cards, which of course was a Topps thing, and not a PSA thing, although I have seen PSA catch heat on this subject a few times.

Peeled or non-peeled is logical to track seperate, but you should only need one for the registry.
