Topps created the refractor sets, and also releases the Refractor cards under the Bowman name, which Topps owns. In 1956 Topps purchased the Bowman company and ended their rivalry in the sports card market. In 1989, Topps once again began production of cards with the Bowman name.

What is a refractor card?

A "refractor card" is a card that has chrome reflective devices. These cards often come with a thin removable protective layer. The card loses some value if this plastic layer is removed. Refractor cards are commonly used as inserts along with regular issue packs of cards and were first introduced in the 1990's.

How do you tell if a sportscard is a refractor if there are no r markings on the card?

To identify a refractor without markings, examine the card's surface closely under light. Refractors typically have a shiny, reflective finish that creates a rainbow-like effect, distinguishing them from standard cards. Additionally, look for a more pronounced color variation and increased gloss compared to regular versions of the same card. Comparing it to a non-refractor version can also help highlight these differences.
