Topps does it yet again

Have you bought any 2011 Bowman Chrome? Unless I received both refractors in the four boxes that I opened the Darwin Barney refractor that I bought from a member here looks exactly like those.

When I think back to opening the packs I believe that one card was upside down in the pack. Wonder if those were the refractors.

Good luck to CheckOutMyCards identifying these.

Just my 2-cents worth,

I have bought a few packs, and the refractors still stick out like a sore thumb to me. I remember this being an issue in 1993-94 as well with the first wave of Finest and I didn't get how you couldn't tell back then either.

I also remember some people peeling "Mystery Finest" cards in half instead of just peeling the black coating off the front.

OK OK Now I have seen a real refractor and I am able to tell them apart. They seem as if they are not as high quality as they used to be. Maybe I traded some off as regular chrome because none of the other cards I have left are refractors. I can't complain though, it was a pretty good box - two different Harpers.
