Topps Chrome Update buyers ... you’re welcome

yohotx · 11-10-2019, 08:19 PM

For those of you getting autos out of every two or three boxes of Topps Chrome Update... you’re welcome.
I’ve purchased 17 boxes over the past week all from one location - grand total of ZERO autos. That’s 119 packs, with autos being listed as odds of 1:40.
Good times.

Yup. They're on a slightly thicker stock.

Nutcracker33 · 11-10-2019, 10:19 PM

did you get any numbered refractors ? cause those are made with the thicker card stock also

chfu3030 · 11-11-2019, 06:29 PM

That’s why I’m usually hesitant to buy up retail. Sorry OP

Dsimpson · 11-11-2019, 09:10 PM

Yep, 10 boxes of mega chrome update, and about 20-30 blasters of update. not a single auto. 3 bought from in store, 7 bought from target online. Unfortunately I have my last two coming tomorrow night. 10 years ago when I collected i was rolling in autos. Since I started a year and a half ago I have yet to pull one in retail and haven’t purchased any hobby. And I’m prolly spent a grand on retail.

Also in these ten chrome updates. Not a single Vlad RC

To be fair, the original poster deserved the bad luck, and more, since he likely didn't even pay for the boxes.

This hobby can turn into an addiction in the blink of an eye. If you can't afford to play dont ruin your life by stealing baseball cards. So dumb.

Uhhhh, he basically lives in a DC suburb. Cost of living is very high. Assistant principals make nothing. I presume you were just joking, but I wanted to make sure.

I know several principals, assuming assistants make less. I guess it's relative. To me 100K in NoVa isn't a helluva lot of money.
