Once redeemed, collectors could choose to have their Blue Refractor delivered to them, or let it sit in their thepit.com account. Delivered Blue Refractors were encased in a plastic holder, similar to an eTopps card.

			However, First Year Player Blue Refractors have surfaced of non-first year players:

			* Derek Jeter
			* Ken Griffey, Jr.
			* Chipper Jones

			These Blue Refractors seemingly were not intended to be produced and/or released but leaked onto the secondary market. The Jeter, Griffey, and Jones cards had the same blue refractor finish on the front and the "Blue Refractor" text printed on the back but were not serial numbered.

	Inserted into each Hobby box as a box topper was one X-Fractor. X-Fractors exist for all 330 un-autographed base cards and each is serial-numbered to 172 copies; however, only 162 were inserted into box topper packs. Randomly inserted into box topper packs were ten "Instant Winner" cards good for an entire set of X-Fractors. It is believed that the first ten serial-numbered copies of each X-Fractor were set aside for this contest, and cards numbered 11 and above were inserted into packs. The odds of finding an Instant Winner card were 1:103,968 box topper packs. Collectors had until August 30th, 2006 to redeem any Instant Winner cards.

	Meanwhile, X-Fractors for the 20 Autographed First Year Player cards (cards #331-#350) were randomly inserted into packs. According to Topps, each player signed 250 X-Fractors, but the cards are NOT serial-numbered. Instant Winner sets did NOT include the Autographs.
