How can I tell this card from the refractor version if I'm not familiar with refractors?

This particular set says "Refractor" on the back near the number. Is that what you mean? ------------------------------- I'm mostly organizing over adding right now.

It was a great improvement for refractor cards to have the word, or an r, written on the back. At first you just had to eyeball it, which was sometimes easy and sometimes very hard.

So in the future.. hold a card that is a refractor in one hand and card that isn’t.. now tilt each one looking at the silver / chrome part.. one will stay silver, the other will have multiple colors in the chrome part. Practice looking.. Other sets don’t have a chrome designation on them..
