Best Answer

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. I will leave a link below to a Glossary Of Baseball Collectible Terms if you need more information.

How much is a wes chamberlain card worth?

It depends on which year and company, as well as if it's a parallel or insert card. The card also would need to be in good condition, free of creases and with sharp corners. Wes' most valuable card is probably the 1994 Topps Finest refractor card worth around $8.

What is the most expensive david justice baseball card?

1993 Topps Finest Refractor #1. This card is limited to 241 copies and was the first use of refractor technology. At one time booked as high as $200, book value as of November 2010 is $125. A graded Gem Mint copy has sold for over $600. There are also several "too scarce to price" cards out there which may sell for more than his 1993 Finest Refractor. Two such cards of note are the 2005 Upper Deck ESPN Ink Autograph (limited to 5 copies) and the 2008 Topps Sterling Jumbo Patch card (1 of 1 - though several variations exist). Both of these cards sold for over $200 when they first came out, expect to pay between $100-150 each for them now.
