The 1993 Topps Finest Refractor #1 is the first basketball refractor ever produced — and it belongs to Michael Jordan. When Topps introduced chromium technology and refractor parallels to basketball in 1993, they made Jordan card #1 in the set. That wasn't a coincidence. The Finest Refractor technology changed the entire hobby, eventually leading to Topps Chrome, Prizm, and every premium parallel that exists today. This is where it all started.
