As others have said the term refractor refers to the way the light hits the card to make it appear more colorful. They are inserts and rarer parallel versions of the original card.
The original 1993 topps finest refractors are still very popular today, and I hope to add a couple to my collection, probably just ken griffey jr and nolan ryan. They were my favorites growing up when these cards were issued, although as a 13 year old I couldn't really afford to buy any back then.
