2017 Topps Chrome Hobby Break

Chaysr20 · 08-01-2017, 05:51 PM

Got my 2 cases in a day early. 1 case is staying sealed for a bit while I'll break some of the other. How much probably depends on how I do early. Not sure how quickly I'll open these, but I'll update as I go. Feel free to post wants/needs and I'll get back to you.

Good luck to you

Stech36 · 08-01-2017, 06:21 PM

I am interested in Benintendi and Cardinals autos

Good luck!

Chaysr20 · 08-01-2017, 06:26 PM

Box 1: Not a bad start at all

Notables:
Base RC: Moncada, Benintendi
Refractors: Harper, Thor, Stanton
Prism: D. Ortiz, Castro
'87 Inserts: Machado, Moncada, Lindor
Freshman Flash: Arroyo
Negative: Castro
Blue Wave /75: Mancini

Image Variation: TROUT

Base Autos: Ty Blach, Ryon Healy

Autos were meh, but the parallels more than made up for it! I'm enjoying this break far more than SC. I think the cards look great in person and the '87 inserts are SHARP. May end up building the set.

Dodgerfan74 · 08-01-2017, 06:47 PM

interested in Bellinger RC

Chaysr20 · 08-01-2017, 06:58 PM

Box 2: Who needs autos?

Notables:
Base RC: Bellinger, Arroyo, Bregman

Negative: Luke Weaver
Purple /299: Khris Davis

I knew autos were likely going to be rough, so it's nice to have the inserts/parallels make up for it. Still no base Judge RC.

Chaysr20 · 08-01-2017, 07:25 PM

Box 3: Autos still meh, but that's ok

Base RC: JUDGE, Mancini

It's a fun break, I bought in low, there is tons of value in the rookie class and I'm hitting the right ones. If I bought at current pricing then yes, I'd be hurting. Autos are just a bonus here.

Redsmitty03 · 08-01-2017, 07:39 PM

I see it like this: the best is yet to come in this break!

rutgersjpm · 08-01-2017, 07:42 PM

He's a quarter of the way through the case. Patience.

This. Also, if you've ripped Topps Chrome in the last 5 years, this is what most of the boxes look like. Most of the autos are going to be garbage.

Damn you Topps, the colored refractors aren't colorful enough!!

MarshallCutler6 · 08-01-2017, 08:58 PM

I am very happy you're enjoying, but damn this stuff is brutal at the price point.

yankee4jc · 08-01-2017, 09:01 PM

I'd be interested any base you may want to sell : also any judges / swansons / Bryant's

This stuff can be brutal even if you lock in pricing early on. That being said, the people that bought in late on this are going to be extra disappointed.
