I wanted to see if anyone knows for sure that the 2000 Finest Gold Refractors are serial numbered to 100. I know the rookies are but Beckett.com is a little confusing about the regular cards.

I have picked up a Vlad and its not numbered. It wouldn't be the first Topps card that I have picked up that wasn't numbered.

I also recently picked up a 2000 Finest Gold Refractor Chipper Jones. There is no numbering on mine, either.
 
from beckett :

The set includes 179-player cards , 40 Rookie Cards (numbers 101-120 and 247-266) each serial numbered to 100 , 15 Features subset cards (numbers 121-135), 10 Counterparts subset cards (numbers 267-276), and 20 Gems subset cards (numbers 136-145 and 277-286). The set also includes two versions of card number 146 Ken Griffey Jr. wearing his Reds uniform (a portrait and action shot). Rookie/Veteran Cards were seeded at a rate of 1:240 hobby/retail packs and TBD HTA packs. Features and Counterparts subset cards were inserted one every 960 hobby and retail packs and one every 400 HTA packs. Gems subset cards were inserted one every 2880 hobby and retail packs and one every 1200 HTA packs.


from that , looks like the rookies are the only ones with serial numbers...

I read the samething and that is my first inclination but if you click on any of the cards including veterans, it indicates they are serial numbered to 100 as the print run.

That's probably just a glitch in the beta.. Because the rookies are serially numbered the site also recognized the veterans to be too..
 
It may have been a carry over from 1999 when all Gold Refractors were numbered to 100, the three I have from 2000 are not serial numbered and they include veterans M Rivera, B Jordan, as well as a Counterpart.
 
This is what I got off of Becket online with a sample from the Gold Ref. list.
