Default The Unofficial ATOMIC REFRACTOR Appreciation Thread!

I decided to create this thread to pay tribute to my favorite parallel of all time, the Atomic Refractor!

While I personally love this parallel, I’m not sitting on a giant collection, I just grabbed a few of my favorite players past and present. I know I’m not the only one out there who loves these, so feel free to share/post/discuss all things ATOMIC!

Very cool thread topic. I love Atomic reflectors, but sadly only own two. That LouBob auto you have is, how the kids say, fire.

Thanks man, I actually got outbid on another one the other day. One of the few cards I’ve almost bought twice. Nice Witt! I love the Franchise atomics.

Those 90's atomics like the Griffey in the OP are my favorites ever. I wish they would bring that design back for the atomics. All of the refractors are just simply beautiful!

Couldn’t agree more.

Although 96 was the original, and 98 was the first year of serial numbering, 97 was my favorite year aesthetically.

Love that Witt card and that it is his unheralded first licensed card.

Dude! You gotta warn people before dropping something like that. I’m just glad I was sitting down.
