Default Celebrating Gold Refractors/Prizms

I thought we needed a thread to show off the evolution of the Gold Refractor over the years (even though I just missed on a Bogut RC Gold, arghhhh).

Feel free to show Topps Chrome, Bowman, Prizm, Select etc. any Gold Refractors.

I've been grabbing a few cheap ones recently. my favorite is 03-04 Bowman Chrome Gold, all day

Don't hesitate to add why you prefer one set over the other.

Looking forward to seeing what you've got. Here's a few of mine, I have a couple of big ones at COMC, that I can't wait to get in hand.

Apologies for the double up of Manu.

This is probably my favorite card in my PC. Perfection.

Just need one more from this Big 4 that couldn't quite get it done. To think I once owned the Malone and sold off a bunch

[IMG]20160526_203609 by Ben McKay, on Flickr[/IMG]

Tim Duncan BGS 9.5 incoming
P. Pierce also incoming

Still chasing some of the other big names so hopefully I can track them down.

Let's see what you've got in Gold Refractors, I'm a massive fan of the original 12/13 Prizms also and the Select 14/15 Courtsides.

Those 03-04 BC golds get me all tingly. So bright and bold on the finish. I still need a few for my stash.

Onto 04-05:

I just unloaded about a dozen gold refractors on COMC from 03-04 TC/BC and another dozen from 04-05 BC.

Here's my crap:

Conley BC gold is #11/99 (JSY #)



















$1 for a Dahntay TC RC Gold refractor? Sign me up!



and although it's not basketball, I love this card. Pulled it myself. Think it's still a Pop 1. Not shabby for a mega-star

Was surprised to see Curry gold refractors outselling LeBron's (both PWCC). Has it been like this since the Curry spike last year?

2009 Topps Chrome Gold Refractor Stephen Curry ROOKIE RC /50 BGS 9.5 GEM (PWCC)

2003 Topps Chrome Gold Refractor LeBron James ROOKIE RC /50 #111 BGS 9.5 (PWCC)

I bought a bunch of 06-07 Topps chrome boxes when I got back into collecting several years ago. I end up pulling 3 golds. I always liked that they we're out of /25 that year as opposed to /99 from other years, which made pulling a gold even more exciting IMO.

I'm glad to see guys like Redick, Jameer Nelson, Deng, Odom, Nene, Rudy Gay and others on this thread instead of it being overrun with LeBron's, Kobe's, MJ's, Curry's, KAT's, etc...
