For me, nothing beats the OG refractors.

Refractor
Blue Refractor
Gold Refractor
Orange Refractor
Red Refractor

I try to think of the new refractor parallels the same way the PMG's did it back in the day. The first 10 were green, then blue then red.

Adding sparkle, wave, or lava of the same color just turns the traditional color refractor into a x4 print run with the first true color more desirable.

For example - Gold Refractor /50 > Gold Sparkle /50 > Gold Lava /50 > Gold Wave /50

There are now 200 golds, with the first 50 the more desirable.

It doesnt always work and I'm sure there are holes in this logic, but I try to use this factor in the back of my head when determining how much to pay for a specific card.
