1993 Finest REF question

lsutigers1973 · July 23, 2008 3:16PM

I know this has been brought up numerous times but I found a 1993 Finest card in a box of random junk that looks like a REF but I do not know the difference. I was out of the hobby in 1993. How the H-E-double hockey sticks do you tell the difference?

The refractor should be a lot brighter. When you tilt it towards the light, you should also see lots of vibrant color & rainbow effect.

does it also say refractor on the back like some of the later years?

TNP777 · July 23, 2008 3:52PM

nope, not in '93

Heck the basketball from 93 was tough to tell between the refractor and regular cards.

OK I can simplify this question, maybe, did any of the 1993 Finest REF's have a green front?

No, but I think that some of the prototypes might have, though not positive on that??

A third of the set was All Stars and had a green front while the rest were silver. All were made into refractors as well. If you hold a stack of them together in the light you can easily tell which if you have any refractors.

The one I found was in a box of junk that actually had some minty looking 70's commons with a bunch of junk hockey, football and basketball, oh yeah and some country music superstar cards.

too lazy, busy playing poker

Poker is only for people with severe gambling problems. It's also rigged so you lose.

I have known that for about 6 years now but still I continue

So your saying I shouldn't cash in my 401K and enter some world series of poker events? Jamie Gold made it look so easy.

401k's are for chumps. Everybody knows the real money's in reckless gambling.

I've traded emails with Josh a few times over the past several months. He's who I got my Butler 9 from. He's doing good.

Yeah, those were the all-star cards, and they also came in refractor. ebay
