2021 Topps Chrome Sapphire Question

gmarutiak · 10-20-2022, 11:44 AM

On ebay, I see some cards from 2021 Topps Chrome Sapphire that are autographed on card, like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/30466116750...Bk9SR8r8m-T-YA and others that are sticker autos, like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/12556690717...Bk9SR8r8m-T-YA

As you'll see from the links, it seems like PSA doesn't differentiate between the two. The cards have the same numbering, but different photos. Are these from different sets? Any information would be appreciated.

Those come from two different sets.

The on card auto comes from 2021 Topps Chrome Sapphire: https://www.cardboardconnection.com/...baseball-cards
The sticker auto comes from 2021 Topps Chrome Update Sapphire: https://www.cardboardconnection.com/...baseball-cards

Both have the same "numbering" because it is RA (rookie auto) and KH (player initials) for both sets. Neither of them have numbers, just the RA signification with the two initials of the players name.

Topps Chrome Sapphire and Update Sapphire I believe.

I didn't open any Sapphire last year, but I think the first one is from Topps Chrome Sapphire, while the second is from Topps Chrome Update Sapphire. It is wonky that the second one doesn't have the Update signifier in the title, although it looks pretty crunched for space on there.
