	There are Golden Anniversary Refractors with counterfeit stamps. These cards were originally unnumbered proofs which were obtained from the Topps Vault or former employees, counterfeit stamped, and sold on the secondary market as the true, pack-issued versions. Unnumbered proofs are common for ‘98 and ‘99 Topps/Bowman baseball products (Paper, Chrome, Finest) due to former Topps employees selling off uncut sheets/proofs from the Topps Vault in the late-2000s.

	1998 Bowman Chrome was a 441-card with cards 1-221 in Series One and cards 222-441 in Series Two. This year, Bowman Chrome fully paralleled the 441-card [[1998 Bowman~~\|Bowman base (paper)~~]] set, contrary to the [[1997 Bowman Chrome\|1997 Bowman Chrome]] set, which partially paralleled the [[1997 Bowman~~\|1997 Bowman base (paper)~~]] set (1997 Bowman Chrome only featured 300 of the 441 cards from the 1997 Bowman set).		1998 Bowman Chrome was a 441-card with cards 1-221 in Series One and cards 222-441 in Series Two.

	The cards looked identical to the 1998 Bowman set but had a [[Chromium\|"chrome"]] finish that distinguished this as a higher-end set from the [[1998 Bowman\|base brand]]. The photo of the player was off-center on the card front with the player's name plate below and a facsimile of the player's signature from their original Topps contract on the left side.
