Before today, I would have thought that the Gold Rush parallel was just another cheap parallel. Had no idea how rare they are. As for refractors in regards to looks, I think my favorites are the original shiny refractor. Not atomic refractors. Not a superfractor. Just a regular base card refractor. And if I were forced to pick a color... I'd probably go with black. Black refractors are always pretty cool looking.<br /><br />TSHenson - If you're Indians collection is like my A's collection, than the majority will be the 1992 Topps Winners. I've gotta be close to a team set.<br /><br />SumoMenkoMan - Gotta imagine that these gold ink parallels are rare and expensive. Do you own any?<br /><br />Sport Card Collectors - Looks like we're on the same page.<br /><br />Roy-Z - Me too. As an A's fan, there haven't been a lot of things to get excited about, so we really embrace guys like Zito.<br /><br />night owl - Hmmm. I wonder if Pacific had anything to do with how you feel about gold. I remember thinking that they used way too much gold foil back in the late 90's.<br /><br />The Lost Collector - Very cool oddball set. It doesn't get anymore gold than that.<br /><br />Nick - I've seen so many of them over the years, that I actually pass them up in dime boxes... unless they're a big name or the ones (non winners) inserted into packs.<br /><br />Billy Kingsley - If we were playing a word association game and someone said Topps Chrome, I'd probably reply "refractors". Even more likely would be "Gold Medallions" for Ultra.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-62026868390486369552018-01-08T08:16:54.095-08:002018-01-08T08:16:54.095-08:00You have my two favorite parallel concepts in here...You have my two favorite parallel concepts in here... refractors and Ultra Gold medallions.

I don't remember where I got it, probably from Wes.<br /><br />I'm not much of a fan of gold on cards, probably because it reached overkill status before the turn of the century. But it can look nice at times.

It's one of those "overpriced by people who know what they are but worthless by people who don't know what they are" type of cards.<br /><br />As for gold, it's nice but in card terms I've found that with the right design and picture, a blue refractor will beat it anyday. Unless you count a superfractor as gold (even then it might lose aesthetically to a blue ref :P).Zippy Zappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695389359056056119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-28370470655373297282018-01-07T15:22:38.927-08:002018-01-07T15:22:38.927-08:00There's gold in California!
