2012 Topps Chrome Football Blue Wave Refractor Checklist and Guide
Overview
Ask collectors about their hobby pet peeves and most will have redemption cards at or near the top of their lists. Nobody likes waiting on an IOU, especially when they've put out $100 for a box of trading cards. Topps took a bad situation and made it better with the 2012 Topps Chrome Football Blue Wave Refractors. The cards are giving collectors something extra and exclusive for their troubles.
Shop for 2012 Topps Chrome Football Blue Wave Refractors on eBay.
The 2012 Topps Chrome Football Blue Wave Refractors is a 110-card set consisting only of rookies. The cards are not available anywhere but in special cello packs sent with redeemed autograph redemptions. Most of the cards are parallels of the regular 2012 Topps Chrome Football rookie cards, although there are some that didn't make the main set's final cut. Among them is Alfred Morris.
Inserts include a second Andrew Luck card featuring the quarterback without a helmet and a Morris autograph.
Each see-through pack has three cards. Collectors should be very cautious buying unopened packs as they're easily searched. If going this route, be sure to buy from dealers you can trust.
The 2012 Topps Chrome Football Blue Wave Refractors have proven to be extremely popular. Collectors usually respond well to exclusives, especially ones with limited print runs. The very nature of this program should mean that supply dries up pretty quickly. But the combination of one of the year's most popular sets and the elusive nature of the cards have made for strong secondary market prices.

Still waiting for mine. I’ve sent multiple emails to Topps and tried calling and still haven’t heard back. I am very anxious to get my blue waves and one of my autos (a Russell Wilson Refractor)
