2021 Bowman Draft Baseball Forum

hello there im having really hard time telling the difference between the bowman draft chrome and a refractor i read and still cant tell the difference so any other ways to tell it thank you for your time 

I've seen the actual word "refractor" printed on the back somewhere on cards, and easily missed in my case - not sure if Bowman did this for this set.

I actually typed in 'how to tell if something is a refractor' into Google and there were a couple of videos about it. It mainly said that if a rainbow effect happens when you put it up to a light, then it's a refractor. Bowman, unfortunately, are inconsistent with their 'refractor' labels (and they tragically don't bother with parallel labels), so watching a video about the distinction may help.

thanks i will watch some hope this helps 

thank you 

They did.  If you look on the back of the card, the word "Refractor" is printed at the top near the card number.  

Look at this example:

The label is directly to the right of the card number and above the name plate on the back.
