these are not like the original refractors of earlier topps finest. i have chris webber cards, same number on back, same card but one has patterns etched into the silver back ground and the other doesnt. would this be refractor?
94-95 didn't have embossed though, they started in 97-98. I think he needs to put up scans really because other than it being one of the collegiate best cards (but he says it's the same card number) I'm stumped. Unless he has the wrong year...

i have coreect year as i opened the boxes my self 94-95 so they must have started before 97 as the scan will show it certainly looks and feels etched to me... if it isnt refractor what is it?
It's definitely a printing error - the topps logo is upside down at the top... ie it's been printed on over the top by mistake. Never seen anything like that so that's cool! Not a refractor though

lol i dont really sell many cards i have a few MJ inserts here. im gonna go thru all my commons and list some up tho as i have boxes of them everywhere... big boxes too not card boxes
if you have either of the ewing inserts from that finest set (cornerstone #CS3 and Lettery Prize #LP1) plus the following base cards #258 Jalen Rose Collegiate Best and detlef schrempf (don't know the number)lmk know via pm or here and we can maybe work something out.
Yeah they are definately printing errors. Nice cards though!
To answer your original question, the refractors have a rainbow type effect when held up to the light. Once you've seen one it's very easy to tell if you have one. And they don't have any type of distinguishing mark on the back either - no R or the word refractor on the back - they didnt start doing this until future years.
