Silver

The most popular and recognizable mid-tier parallel across both Topps and Panini products. A Silver Prizm or Silver Refractor features a silver holographic finish and is considerably rarer than base cards but more common than numbered parallels. Silvers are the sweet spot for most collectors — desirable enough to carry a premium but accessible enough to chase in packs. They are the benchmark parallel in the hobby.
