Some people call it "hulking" as in the cards turn green like the Hulk. It is common on alot of basketball refractors.

Refractors were always my favorite, and they used to be fairly hard to get compared to these days. And of course, they are still around so their cool-factor has dropped a bit for me.
So now that I think about types of inserts that are still unique to the 90s and what my favorites would be, I can narrow it down to two types. And oddly enough, they are both Pacific inserts. The first is the Cardsupials inserts, which is a regular sized card with a slot for where a small size card is kept. Here is a picture of one showing both cards, but this card is from 2000 and from online. Finding a picture with both the large and small card in it is pretty tough.  And the other would be the Christmas ornament cards. These were not just a card, but also have the string you can hang it up with. I do not have any of the baseball ones instead I have one for hockey. Here is a picture of one from online:

I have refractors and regular chrome from the 90s that have gone greenish or faded in some way. I think all the ones I have are from 1997 or 1998 Bowman's Best.

I don’t have one handy at the moment; however; always loved the 1993 Select Chase Stars. Dufex still catches my eye and holds my gaze, after all these years.
