ER1 Nomar Garciaparra - Early Road to the Hall Refractor- Red Sox
It says refractor on the back but I don't believe it is.  I compared it side by side with the Ivan Rodriguez we pulled earlier and they both look like the regular version to me.

Pretty good round of Topps Chrome.  Every pack had a refractor or insert!
