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.

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.
i bet its worth around 5.00

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.
Great question. I just mailed today a Buster Posey Bowman Chrome X-Refractor 2007 signed and graded 10/10. Only two graded by Beckett grading services. A Perfect card, that the lucky buyer will probably double his money in the next few years. Current price of this was sold for $1,756.00 Go to Ebay and see my other 10/10's for more S.F. Giants pitchers.
One major problem with the refractor telescope used by Galileo was sagging lens.

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.
the question is ungrammatical. Restate it.
