2018 Topps Chrome Baseball Cards Checklist

I like the topps chrome this year,i think this years rookies are the best since 2011,if a few key players do half of what people are saying then this will be 1000$ a box in 7 years,squirling away a few packs/boxes might be a good investment for the long haul investors,just think if you would have put a 2011 jumbo hobby update away,or even just a cpl 10$ blaster boxes-lets hope ohtani dosent turn into Todd Van Popple?!?

I opened two regular hobby boxes and about 3 jumbo and ready to open 2 more jumbos. The past couple times I have opened it, No luck. All poor low end autos.. saying to myself “Who is that?” Chrome is a okay product, not something I would recommend people to open… way to many low end players their prices rarely go for over $50.. thats an ouch.

I for one absolutely love this years release. Not sure why but Chrome has not received the hobby love that comes with just about every new product when it initially hits the street… I will admit, jumbo breaks I’ve seen have been horrific but what does one expect when there’s a large checklist? They can’t all be loaded, I’ve done well with regular hobby and retail blasters, not all were winners but I got a pretty decent share of big hits.

If it weren’t for a certain few redemptions, I’d buy & stash all I could.

Great product overall – awesome looking and feeling cards – great refraction.

Players are pretty good. Sure there are a ton of no-namers , but there are also a bunch of top tier rookies – Tani , Cuna, Dujar, Torres, Hoskins, Buehler, Flaherty, the list goes on. This is going to be a box that stays in demand for years to come. Considering buying a case to sit on :)

a month after buying I see that topps must have overproduced this product bigtime. Boxes sitting in walmarts and targets passed over. online stores selling 50 bucks less than last month on jumbos. to many maybe up and coming autographs

Very disappointing. 3 out of 5 autos no-name relievers who shouldn’t even be in there.

1st and last purchase of this product.

A Barry Crocker.

Can someone explain this to me please. I just opened a jumbo and only got 3 autos when I was supposed to get 5. Any ideas why that happened?

Good looking cards. Collation is not too good as I have many dups in base and inserts. Got 3 jumbos boxes and still only 2/3 of a set. Pulled gold rookie Acuna /50, gold wave rookie auto Urena/50 and a Gold rookie auto Robles /50. Other rookie autos were OK , nothing special.

Blasters have the serial numbered color refractors, which make the product this year. Value packs few refractors but ive pulled an auto one in every 6-7 ive opened. The jumbo boxes have been pointless with the exception of x-fractors.
At least they’re not 79.99 like Platinum.
Limited inserts which I like.

Based on various Topps Chrome retail selections from different sources this is absolutely the worst Topps product in 60 years. Duplicates in blaster box case was criminal, base card diversity versus hits equally bad. Wood,Fedde,Inciarte dupes not same w/decent rookies. Lots of refractors, one worthless auto. If you spent 1k on Topps and Bowman retail and couldn’t get a set together and your best pull was a Clint Frazier SSP what would you rate this product. Value packs evidently way to go retail.

Bought 2 jumbos. Got 3 chris Stratton autographs .7 other maybe up and coming. nothing interesting. I see where online dealers dropping prices on boxes. Ill pass next year.

It is incredible that topps can put the same s*** autos out there every auto I received was the same crap autos that I received in earlier topps products this year

Bought one of the hangar packs, got a Mookie Betts Yellow Printing Plate. Any idea on what the rough value on some of the cards are?

In your description, you say there will be no green parallel of the Superstar Sensations, but Inver got the Judge green /99.

I’m not a fan of the flagship, but this Chromed out version is NICE.

Excellent cards, however, I have a questions about the refractors. I pulled a Cabrera refractor and also a regular Cabrera card. I held them up to the light, looked at them many different ways and the only way I could tell the difference between the regular card and the refractor card is that the refractor card had the word refractor on the back of the card. Is there something else I should be looking for to distinguish the difference between the refractor and the regular card?

adding so many late 20s middle reliever autos by the boatload – makes this a horrible product..
$200 + for 5 autos and the best one is worth $10 at most….. and the making any of the good ones really short is sad by Topps… if you want to charge those kind of prices give some value in most boxes … not no value in over 95% of boxes.

The design this year is outstanding. The refractors are amazing! I have already pulled two autos out of retail alone. A Rhys Hoskins purple autograph /250 and a Brandon Woodruff auto as well. I have done very well. Absolutely love the product this year.

A lot of great rookies. I dont know why topps/bowman always misses the boat with the giants. Miguel gomez??? The giants as it stands in august have the best rookie reliever in the NL, and the best rookie starting pitcher in the NL. They also have several rookies contributing, slater, duggar, black, suarez. The topps chrome update should have like 5 giants rookies in it.

I love the look of the cards. I find it funny they included Hanley Ramirez but no Juan Soto.

Picked up a jumbo box for 200 from my lcs and got a max fried and a mike sorocka redemption. The other 3 where meh but i love the design of the set. Job well done topps

Wow! The autographs were OK. Got a Gleyber Torres Refractor Redemption, but the big hit was an Ohtani Photo Variation SSP Green Refractor /99.

Basic Chrome. Just like everything else this year – the odds are long.

I bought some retail already and pulled a Chance Sisco Autograph. I’m seeing some redemptions for this card online, but mine is an actual autograph card. Would there be redemptions in hobby but be live in retail for the same player???

Stronger autograph selection than last year. I noticed Mookie Betts does not have a autograph in the Future Stars set or the Superstars Sensatins set. Guess he hasn’t made it yet in baseball.

Will there be a retail version?

No Soto

Almora is never in anything. I dont get it

I wonder if soto, torres and acuna get their official rc’s in this set.

Whoops – sorry re I see the release date at the bottom…

Always a good looking set to collect. What is the release date for the 2018 set?

about $Ohtani bucks?

Who wants to guess what cases will cost?

Great product, my favorite

My favorite from TOPPS 🎈👍🏼🎈
