Topps Chrome M L B

24 packs -- 4 cards per pack

2 Autographs per box!

I received the following:

78 unique base cards - 35% of the base set of 220 :) :)

Topps Chrome is the parallel set of the base set (except smaller!!:cool: ) These cards are very glossy - thus this is why they are called 'CHROME'. This is a very good set for someone who wants to get started collecting higher end sets. One should be able to collate the base set with only 3 boxes. One will also get 6 autos and a good number other inserts.

Inserts

Refractors

8 refractors
4 xfractors

The autos are on the card and they look better than fantastic!! This is the way they all should be done. Excellent!!:D :D

One will have a lot of parallels to chase in this issue - base, refractor, xfractor, sepia, blue, gold, red, and 1/1's. The blue, the gold, or even the sepia set might be a fun thing to attempt. I can guarantee that there will be very, very few complete sets of either the blue or gold refractors. Hey Topps - why not have a really cool prize for someone who collates the gold set??

Overall grade A+

Go buy several boxes and send the Rays parallels to me!!

Duane,

I can use the Tom Milone blue refractor if available. I have a Desmond Jennings refractor & xfractor to trade if you need either.

lmk thanks

Nice review - and a pretty nice box. I could use the Wily Peralta - I'll see what I can find of the Rays for you. Thanks - David.
 
The Milone is yours - I can use either and or both of the Jennings.... your call.

Duane

Duane,

I was out of town for work. Would you do the Milone & the Jarrod Parker refractor you got from your Finest break for both of the Jennings and these?
