The Reptilian Refractor in the BCV (Bowman Chrome Veteran) base set is an unserially-numbered parallel (confirmed by the odds listing: \"Reptilian Refractor (1:20 Hobby)\" with no print run stamp on the BCV base cards, distinct from the serialized Reptilian Blue \/150, Gold \/50, Orange \/25 versions). Wembanyama is card #BCV-143, a veteran\/established star in the set.
