When they were first released, this was one of my least favorite Finest designs. Over time they have really grown on me and have a deep, but subtle shine. Wish I would have bought more back in 2005!

Yes, I do randomly have a Declaration of Independence card… Thomas Heyward Jr (refractor) from the 2006 Topps Chrome Declaration of Independence insert set. This set had some absolutely insane 1/1 cut autos - Ben Franklin, John Hancock, etc.

As a kid of the late 80s and 90s, I am shocked that I didn’t own a 90s refractor… until now. I think I’ve avoided them because I assumed they were out of my price range. But I stumbled upon this and thought it was a great combo of player, card aesthetics, condition, and affordability. Hello, Frank.
