Does anyone have any info on Bobby Wagner's Topps Chrome rookie?

[TheVolta]

Never knew it even existed before yesterday.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[USCTrojans]

i think this is a blue wave that came with redemptions so it's quite rare

So only the blue wave version exists?

[USCTrojans]

yes exactly

[packerfan4200]

Yeah there were several players that year that didn't make it into the regular chrome checklist who were only in the blue wave packs. Alfred Morris, josh Gordon, Bryce brown, Wagner, Greg zuerlein come to mind. There were a few others too

How did you get the BW packs? Were they a redemption?

[packerfan4200]

How did you get the BW packs? Were they a redemption?

Yep. Came with all of the rookie auto redemptions that year. There was like 9-10 players who were redemptions including Wilson.

Yeah, for every Chrome redemption they would send you a Blue Wave pack when you got your card in. The chase cards were the exclusive Alfred Morris auto and Chuck Strong Andrew Luck.

Oh so they would just include a free BW pack if you had sent in an autograph redemption? That's interesting, I had never heard about this.

I've got one.. there was another player that was selling for a lot out of the blue wave packs too that was only in the blue waves.

his best rookies are his contenders tho

[trixstar]

Can confirm, blue wave only

Probably Josh Gordon, packerfan4200 mentioned he was one who only had a BW. I'd prefer an exquisite to contenders, on card auto, even with an inscription, much more limited.

[Chrisp253]

It was a new orleans saints player

What is the difference with the Chuckstrong Luck?

I believe it's a different photo variation.

I have in my collection the 2012 Topps Chrome Blue Wave of Bobby Wagner, Josh Gordon, and Vontaze Burfict, Alfred Morris non-auto, and Alfred Morris Auto. I've never found a Vontaze Burfict or Alfred Morris non-auto perfectly centered, but it is nice to have the best RCs that only had a Blue Wave Refractor as their Topps Chrome card.

(not for sale)

So I guess you could say I have the complete 2012 Topps Chrome rainbow for each of these players!

He was the rare saints player? I have one of his BW, I don't think it's very coveted.

I think this was his only 2012 rookie card. An easy $20 sell before he blew his knee in 2013 training camp. Did play some last year.

[Chrisp253]

Yea joseph morgan.. i sold like 3 or 4 of his for 20-30 bucks.. i kept buying peoples lots of blue waves for 15 or 20 bucks and sellin that guy to pay for the lot.. kept the seahawks i wanted and moved the others in small lots.. it was a fun lil niche for a min there when i was gettin back into cards.
