    If you can physically see the card, it actually says refractor under the card number on the back.

    The only way to tell from only seeing the front of the card is that it has a rainbow tint to it...in scans it's a lot harder to tell. Most of the time, refractor scans will be darker or not as good pictures because the refractors reflect more light than the base chrome. I wouldn't always go by that though, not a perfect form of detection by any means.
