2021 Topps Chrome Update Series Baseball Cards Checklist

Does anybody know what is up with the blue tint/shade variation found on random base cards?

Ray – it seems the “Update Series” cards are the RC Debuts only.

So found these cards at Barnes and Noble, as well as Target. Same as last year. Can’t figure out what some cards say “Chrome” over the number and some say “Update Series”. I’m almost 50/50 between them with slightly more saying “Chrome”. Anyone know the logic?

One more thing, I will add that I do think Topps Chrome Update odds need to improve a little. Not sure why they make the pulls so much more difficult in the Update. More difficult is fine, but they go from decent to crazy difficult and need to ease up a bit if they are going to charge more.

As someone who has actually opened this product, and has seen a bunch opened, this is loaded. The price hike is a bit much, I’ll give you that, but they are just trying to take it away from the flippers and give it to the company/store. With Kelenic, Vaughn, India, and Badoo, this is another Update Chrome product that will be selling for 2x-3x in a year, so the $50, while a bit much, is still a decent deal. It should probably be more like $35 though. Last year’s sucked due to a lack of solid rookies, but this is going to be one you are glad you opened and hopefully kept sealed and put away. Also, they do have RC’s & RC Debuts in this set of India, Kelenic, Badoo, and Vaughn. The Purple refractors were a nice touch, but I wish they would have been like 1 per 2 or 3 packs just to give them a little more value.

So, I have a Jarred Kelenic Superfractor Autograph 1/1 RC from Topps Update, and there is an identical-design card in this release; therefore, neither card is unique. Which is the true RC Superfractor autograph, Topps? Why duplicate a card?

2021 topps chrome hobby box is $175 for 96 cards
2021 topps chrome update retail box(no hobby avaliable) is $50 for 40 cards.
Price seems fair imo for card amount.

Once again Topps has no interest in the soon to be ex-Oakland A’s, with only one card, Mitch Moreland and NO autographs. Guess they are waiting for the Las Vegas A’s to appear in 2024. I do hope that Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera signed more than 10 cards though.

That’s good to know thankyou Dave! There’s still some good rookies in here. For how much a hobby box is I think the price reflects that. There’s no hobby version for this retail product so it is the hobby version imo. I would buy as much of this as I can

His rookie is in Topps Chrome. If they have a rookie in Topps Chome they do not have a regular rookie card and another one is the same sequence. Its Series 1, Series 2 which is part of Topps Chrome and then Update and Update Chrome.

Found it only a rookie debut though?

Is there really no kebryan hayes? Unless i missed it?

19.99 for 28 cards 7 (4)card packs…49.99 for 40 cards 10 (4) card packs??? What and who is smoking the pipe on this price point!! Cmon MANN WHAT A JOKE!! SO LONG TRUE SPORTS CARD COLLECTORS

So they over double the price but don’t even give you at least double the amount of cards, that’s garbage

I don’t believe there is a Target near me that actually stocks sports cards anymore, been awhile since I found anything other than signs stating that the selling of sports cards has been suspended.

That said, without guaranteed autos, this $30 price hike is pretty ludicrous (even if it had an auto). Will be tracking down some singles and quickly moving on from this one.
