If it hasnt been obvious that Chrome is one of my favorite products of the year, you havent been paying enough attention to what I write. I pre-ordered 3 boxes of Chrome and was fortunate to find them on my counter when I got home today. I had some good results, not great, but it could have been A LOT worse.
I think what made these boxes fun were the amount of packs my wife and I got to open, with all the different cards we were able pull. I was fortunate to pull a Gold Refractor, A Blue Refractor and a Group A auto, all of which are cool cards to have. One of my autos was severely damaged, which is a let down, but I am sure Topps will not hesitate to replace it like they did my Clausen Topps Variation earlier this month.
Here are the results:
Chrome Rookie Autos
Colt McCoy (Group A) – Could not have been more timely, right?

For what it is worth, I think it is awesome that your wife opened some cards with you. Congrats on the Colt McCoy auto. Keep up the great work with your Website.
I really like chrome but do you think that you just don’t get enough in a box? I think I prefer blasters…
Retail has a lot more refractors and with only 1 auto in hobby it seems like most boxes suck. I gotta think the price will fall lower and faster than chrome baseball. And baseball has 2 on card autos per hobby box!
I love busting with my wife, packs of course! It is awesome to get the girls involved. I constantly have to monitor her to keep her from cherry picking the thicker packs. She loves the MOjOz hitz!!1!!!1 Thanks for sharing your break!
