2012 Topps Chrome Football Cards

Product Details
2012 Topps Chrome Football isn't about changing the game. It's about offering what the brand is famous for, tweaking it along the way. Refractors, rookie autographs and classic Topps designs all aim to shine (literally and figuratively).
Every hobby box has an autograph, 24 rookie cards, several inserts and a handful of Refractors.
2012 Topps Chrome Football Set Details
The 2012 Topps Chrome base set has 220 cards split evenly between veterans and first-year players. Rookie cards fall one per pack. Although slightly short-printed, individual cards aren't terribly difficult to track down. For those looking for a bigger challenge, 25 rookies have rare variations.
Refractors have been a cornerstone of Topps Chrome since it debuted. 2012 Topps Chrome Football introduces a trio of new Refractor versions: Military-Bordered (#/499), pink Breast Cancer Awareness (#/399) and hobby-exclusive Prism (1:24 packs). Besides regular Refractors, other returning versions include Black (#/299), Blue (#/199), Sepia-Tone (#/99), Gold (#/50), Red (#/25) and Superfractors (1/1). Base cards also have Printing Plates. Sepia, Superfractors and Printing Plates are all inserted only in hobby boxes.
Rookie Autographs include signatures from 45 different players. Some have on-card signatures while others use stickers. Like the base cards, Rookie Autographs have several Refractor parallels, all of which are numbered: Refractors (#/150), Camo (#/99), BCA (#/75), Prism (#/50), Black (#/25), Gold (#/10), Red (#/5) and Superfractors (1/1). Only in hobby packs, Rookie Variation Autographs also appear. A total of 25 rookies also have variation short prints as well.

Those looking for a little more variety can find them with several additional rookie autograph inserts. More than three dozen first-year stars have Rookies Autographs Patches, which are numbered to 50. Multi-signature cards come courtesy of Dual Rookie Autographs (five cards, #/30) and Triple Rookie Autographs (one card, #/15).
Die-cuts are a returning trend in the hobby. 2012 Topps Chrome Football doesn't ignore them. Red Zone Rookie Die Cut cards use Refractor borders to give 35 members of the 2012 rookie class added pop. These new inserts are inserted one per box. Parallels include Blue Refractors (#/50), Gold Refractors (#/25), Superfractors (1/1) and Refractor Autographs (1/1).
Three throwback Topps designs give today's emerging players a decidedly retro feel in 2012 Topps Chrome Football. Thirty rookies are featured on three different insert sets inspired by 1957 Topps Football (1:12 packs), 1965 Topps Football (1:12 packs) and 1984 Topps Football (1:6 packs). All three sets have Refractors parallels numbered to 99. 1957 Topps also has hobby-exclusive on-card Refractor Autographs and Refractor Autograph Patch cards (#/10). Additional 1965 Topps parallels include Red Refractors (#/75) and Prism Refractors (#/50). 1984 Topps also has a pair of additional Refractors: Gold (#/75) and Prism Die-Cut (#/50). Both 1965 Topps and 1984 Topps have autographed Refractors that are numbered to 15.
Carrying over from 2012 Topps Football, Quarterback Rookie Reprints (1:24) give rookie cards of some of the NFL's all-time greats the Chrome shine. Refractors (#/99) and rare, hobby-exclusive Autographed Refractors are also available.
Topps has created a set of 110 Blue Wave Refractors available only to those who pull an autograph redemption card. They are like a bonus because Topps had to insert more redemptions than they'd hoped. Every autograph redemption also nets collectors a four-card pack. These packs are also the only place to find Alfred Morris autographs in the product.

Product Review
2012 Topps Chrome Football Product Review
Reviewed by Christopher Wering
Good: 2012 Topps Chrome returns doing what it does best. Just like past years, the set is heavy with Refractors and rookies. Included in the mix are three new Refractor versions: Military-Bordered (#/499), pink Breast Cancer Awareness (#/399) and hobby-exclusive Prism. The rookie autograph checklist is deep and variations of 25 players can be found. The Rookie Autograph Patches, Dual Rookie Autographs and Triple Rookie Autographs are all low-numbered and make for nice high-end hits.
Bad: Not all rookies appear in their NFL uniforms. Many photos were taken at the NFL Scouting Combine and some players are shown in their 00 uniform. Some cards seem to have a dark feel to them. The borders are silver and the dark colors on many of the cards blend right in. The photographs aren't bad, but this seems to be an issue with a few of the cards. As with past Chrome releases, the cards are prone to scratches and other surface damage.
The Bottom Line: This set has the potential for some rather large hits. You would probably be better off purchasing a case since only one autograph is found in each hobby box. The draw to Topps Chrome is the Refractors. They remain very popular and Topps was smart to expand the Refractor types this year.
Card Design: 3.0/5.0
The card design is similar to recent Topps Chrome products, with a shiny and clean look. This isn't completely a bad thing, as many collectors prefer this style. As far as the photos go, I'm not a fan of the combined pictures or the 00 uniforms. I realize there are time restrictions for photographs, but I would like to see Topps handle this differently in the future. As I stated earlier, some of the colors appear to darken the overall feel of the cards and they are prone to scratches and other surface damage.
If you are a fan of retro cards, you will likely enjoy the older-style inserts. New faces on designs from 1957, 1965 and 1984 really stand out, especially with the shimmering look of Chrome. Pulling some of these cards made me reminisce about tearing open packs when I was a kid and hoping to pull a Marino or Elway RC.
The new Refractor designs will appeal to many. I'm not a fan of the Military-Bordered Refractors or Breast Cancer Awareness Refractors. The ideas do not seem to blend well with the designs.
Die-cut cards are becoming more popular with Topps. They are fairly sharp, though they resemble the die-cut cards found in other Topps products. Despite being colorful and attractive, I wish Topps would do something to distinguish them from those found in other products.
For such a popular product, it would be nice if there were more on-card autographs. The design and photography issues could also be addressed. With a few tweaks, Topps Chrome could be a really solid product.
Checklist: 4.0/5.0
2012 Topps Chrome Football offers a base set of 220 cards, with the first half being veterans and the second half being rookies. Twenty-five rookies have rare variations. Throw in the numerous Refractors and autograph types and you have a nice mix of cards.
The on-card signatures definitely stand out compared to those that use stickers. In the future, it would be nice if there was an even greater push to go all hard-signed.
Value: 3.0/5.0
Given the price that boxes have jumped to on the secondary market, I wouldn't be a buyer. This set is for those who enjoy chasing Refractors and variations. Pulling only one autograph is a letdown for me. It's possible to pull a significant rookie autograph, but they are tough. Collectors can expect to get their money back from the Refractors alone, but you will be disappointed if your autograph is common. It may be safer to purchase singles than to spend the money on a box.
The Fun Factor: 3.0/5.0
The Refractors definitely stand out, but pulling one autograph per hobby box is a downer. Unless you are a Refractor collector, you may be disappointed with this product. Topps Chrome will still be able to appeal to its followers who have supported them for years, but some newer collectors or autograph seekers might not get as excited.
I would much rather see Topps limit the number of Refractors and insert additional autographs. The parallels pop up frequently, so a slight reduction would make opening packs much more fun for me.

Think the Purple parallel #/499 is missing in the list of parallels. FYI.
