One of the most popular questions is how gold refractors compare to blues, and how much you should spend for an xfractor versus a regular refractor.

If you see a blue refractor go for 17 dollars — How much would you expect a gold to cost?
BLUE x 2.111 = GOLD or 17 x 2.111 = $35.887
The average prices for refractors are available on the left, obviously. I realize that I screwed up the tiling of this, but at this point, I figure you can work it out.

The weirdest part of this is that X-Fractors are the worst selling cards. However, I think you have to take something out of this — There are a tonne of 0.99 refractors, purples and xfractors.
