(2) 2012 Topps Chrome Blasters - All Purple Hot Boxes

[tribefan]

Update: I purchased additional boxes and they were all purple. No more boxes left at the store so someone else caught on to it, too!

This post is no longer being updated. Go here for the current list...

Hi All,
Well, perhaps they are not officially hot boxes but they certainly were purple!

I grabbed a blaster of 2012 Topps Chrome and a couple rack packs. It ends up that every pack in my blaster contained only Purple Refractors! There was the single 4-pack as expected but the regular packs also had only Purple Reftactors. There was the occasional regular reftactor and xfractor slipped in. The rack pack packs were normal.

So, I went in and grabbed a second box and it was the same thing - bonus!
I'm debating about going back and cleaning off the shelf... should I?

Available for trade...



I'm looking for Indians, Pirates, Peavy and Thome singles.

BTW, my boxes also included some "hits" that I'm keeping...

Purple Darvish
Purple Trout
Base Darvish

.... and some TBD die cut red refractor of Trout.

Crazy break!

Awesome! Go buy the others! After seeing that, you're tempting me to buy a box. I just wish there were more cards in a pack...

 

[David K.]

I would seriously think about buying all of them! Best regards, David

The Darvish isn't a priority but we can use it to fill in trade value if needed.
The Pujols is yours, too.

How's this look (based on 2011 Orange)...
Pujols $10
Verlander $6
Cabrera $5
Avila $2
Smyly $3

Short of making a trade, that's fine. You know the Kinsler market better than I do so send what seems fair. I'll post.

The Fielder is yours. How about this in return?...

Any of these could work, too...

http://s147.photobucket.com/albums/...umbered cards/?action=view&current=img541.jpg

http://s147.photobucket.com/albums/...umbered cards/?action=view&current=img046.jpg

I can dig for something else if any of those don't work.

Not interested in doing the set. I don't care much for the purple, but do like having the trade bait for team and set collectors!

Post if ready.
