Gold at the (almost) end of the rainbow

At some point, I hope to complete the Ty Hensley 2013 Bowman Draft non-1/1 rainbow. I've never officially stated that I'm going to go after it, but I'm far enough along now that I'm keeping an eye out for the cards I need. I'm at the point where one I need pops up every couple of months now, but when it does, and the price is right, I pounce.
My latest addition was this gold refractor, numbered to 50. It only cost a couple of bucks. Now I have the following from this set:

2013 Bowman Draft Top Prospects #TP-23 
2013 Bowman Draft Top Prospects Blue Parallel #TP-23 (233/500, 429/500)
2013 Bowman Draft Top Prospects Orange Parallel #TP-23 (089/250)
2013 Bowman Draft Top Prospects Purple Ice #TP-23 (09/10)
2013 Bowman Draft Top Prospects Red Ice #TP-23 (08/25)
2013 Bowman Draft Top Prospects Silver Ice #TP-23 
2013 Bowman Draft Top Prospects Yellow Printing Plate #TP-23 (1/1)
2013 Bowman Draft Chrome Top Prospects #TP-23 
2013 Bowman Draft Chrome Top Prospects #TP-23 (signed via TTM)
2013 Bowman Draft Chrome Top Prospects Refractor #TP-23 
2013 Bowman Draft Chrome Top Prospects Refractor Black #TP-23 (18/35) 
2013 Bowman Draft Chrome Top Prospects Refractor Blue #TP-23 (38/99)
2013 Bowman Draft Chrome Top Prospects Refractor Gold #TP-23 (31/50)
2013 Bowman Draft Chrome Top Prospects Refractor Green #TP-23 (57/75)
2013 Bowman Draft Chrome Top Prospects Refractor Red #TP-23 (3/5)
2013 Bowman Draft Chrome Top Prospects Refractor Wave Black #TP-23
2013 Bowman Draft Chrome Top Prospects Refractor Wave Blue #TP-23
2013 Bowman Draft Chrome Top Prospects Refractor Wave Red #TP-23 (20/25)
2013 Bowman Draft Chrome Top Prospects Refractor Wave Silver #TP-23 (07/25) 
By my count, I need:
Chrome Superfractor (whatever)
Red Paper (/5)
Black Paper (1/1 - whatever)
Paper Printing Plates (Black, Magenta, Cyan - whatever)
Chrome Printing Plates (All)
Black Ice (1/1 - whatever)
Orange Chrome Refractor (/25) - where are you Orange Refractor?! There's one on eBay for $8.99 and COMC for $15 right now....ehhh, a little more than I want to spend.

Someone keep my calculations honest here, but I believe all the non 1/1s I'm missing are a red parallel #'d to 5, and the Orange Refractor. Zippy Zappy, does that look right to you? So I think I can complete the non-1/1 rainbow with a little more patience. The red paper will be tough to find. COMC has one for $45, which is simply absurd. The Orange Refractor #'d to 25 shouldn't be too pricey, it's just a matter of finding it for a cost I'm happy with.

    I'll be honest. Even to this prospect/Bowman nerd the parallels became too much of a hassle to keep up with.

    I think you're right about the red paper and orange ref being the only non-1/1's ones you still need but DON'T take my word for it.

    I stopped trying to keep track of the parallels. Mid 2000's Matt was all over that kind of stuff, but I just don't spend the time researching like I used to. Damn responsibilities.

    If I see anything when scouring eBay I'll let you know.
