2014 Topps Chrome Baseball Cards

Just wanted to say that I did not buy any of this product until this past weekend when I found a Value Box at Target on clearance for $12.99, and figured I’d take a chance and see what I could pull in the 7 packs (plus one 4 card purple refractor bonus pack). After the first few packs, I was thinking this is typical Chrome, pretty cards, but only 4 per pack, never get hits, same old same old, but then magic happened in my 4th and 6th packs.
In pack #4, a Top Shelf AUTO card numbered out of 25 of Bryce Harper was pulled
In pack #6, a RED RC Refractor numbered out of 25 of Kolten Wong was pulled

Now, I am hooked, and scouring Targets, Wal-Marts, and Toys’R’Us’s, for Value Boxes.

What a great product :)

Ok product but way over produced. Last year there would be two colored refractors a box but this year only one and it’s usually a blue. Also some cards have horrible centering. Recently bought a jumbo box and I’m hoping I will get an Abreu.

Pulled an 8/10 Xander Bogaerts signatured variation after spending only $10. Love those atomic refractors B)

Really disappointed in Topps lately. It almost appears deliberate that they did not include a SF Giants rookie card. The giants had 4 rookies contribute to their WS, including a starting 2nd baseman that hit .300! Yet not one RC designation in 2014 or 2015 (Susac, Panik, Duffy, and Strickland)

This product has just brought me BACK into collecting. I have only collected one chrome set since 1998 and it was a football set (Topps 2000). I was just getting ready to stop collecting altogether as the last couple of years of sets have simply looked like the same old stuff. I decided to try a couple of boxes of Chrome and the quality is heads-over-heels better than the base items. BTW, your site and advice/tips here is OUTSTANDING!

Cards look great. Chrome is my favorite set to buy. Plus it helps that I bought a blaster and pulled a Superfractor Cal Ripken alltime greatest rookie reprint. Love the Chrome

Picked up a blaster box and every single card was a purple refractor. I feel like this is odd? What are the chances.

Nice card cool inserts but no value, you can buy the whole set on ebay for 25.00 to 30.00 a set and boxes are 70+ depending on where you buy,so why buy a box ? 30 card insert sets 10.00 bucks :(

I love topps chrome… but 45 base autos? cmon now. Less no-namers. My box was literally the worst ever: 2 base no-namer autos, a blue jake marsinek, 2 bad die-cuts, 2 bad-1989 cards, a bryce topps shelf and no base of tanaka or abreu… smh.

The set needs to contain more base cards and more autographs. Would like to see a chrome card of every base card that is in Series I and II. And with so few rookie autos in set it is common to get doubles of same auto. I do like how the inserts are really limited. Makes getting an insert somewhat special unlike all of the inserts that are in Topps Series I, II, and Update.

Pulled a Abreu Topps Of The Class Auto redemption #’d/25 in one of my 2 hobby boxes! I’m pretty happy considering they are 1 in every 25 cases! I think I’m done with Chrome this year.

I am currently looking for an ATOMIC card of Tanner Roark and of course the 1/1 of Roark as well in Chrome. Can anyone help? Looking to buy them…only two remaining cards in the rainbow!

Love this product. Doing the set including Mets rookie autos , and can’t seem to find a Travis d’Arnaud base rookie auto. I can find the Black auto /100, Gold /50, Red /25, etc. but no base. Does anyone know if the Travis d’Arnaud base auto exists? If you know please let me know. Thanks!

Ryan, I pulled an Adam Jones buy back that was serial numbered 5/5 then I saw one on eBay that was 4/4 so are each of those 10 serial numbered cards like that? (1/1, 2/2, 3/3, etc.)

based on my perception of the product from what i am seeing before a case break Saturday.

After opening a case I have many cards that have terrible centering / cutting. I would think for a product that is the flagship of topps the quality would be a little better.

I don’t live anywhere near a hobby shop, any clue as to where I should look for a blaster of these?

Eric, I heard that the Kris Bryant refractors from his Bowman Chrome RC are supposed to be in this set so maybe the Cubs won’t be such a bad team to get. Anyone else can confirm/deny that?

Wow, i guess i got duped into selecting the Cubs in an online team box break. According to this checklist there are 2 base cubs, no rookies (why not at least alcantara), and only one insert depicting a Cub player. all in on Ernie Banks I guess! Wow, I know we suck, but how do you represent an entire organization with 3 damn cards! And that includes parallels and autos! A little parity is all I ask for….wow Topps.

Ryan, who do you think will have more value on the secondary market: Erisbel Arruebarruena or Alexander Guerrero? Thanks

I’m really excited for this release. Everything looks nice. And while I do like the variations I really hope there is a theme to them that makes them easy to spot. Not simply “this guy has his leg up” and “this other guy is wearing white pants.”
Can’t wait until Wednesday!!!

I wonder why Abreu is completely left off the sell sheet, he’s the man!

I have another question are the box toppers in hobby boxes only or are they in the jumbo boxes too?

Is this the official finalized checklist? Seems like some names are left off and there are names I’ve never even heard of….seems to be released a lot sooner than previous products this year

Hey Logan Hubbard, the only problem with jumbo this year is that Topps is putting 5 autos into it, not just 3, which in turn make the autos way less rare.

Ryan, do you think either Springer of Singleton will have a RC auto in this?

I bought a jumbo Box when bowman came out . I think its good because you get fancier hits. But if you’re going for completing a set it’s probably cheaper to get the regular boxes.

So I like to collect the entire set but so I like the idea of a jumbo boxes but what is the reasoning for the jumbo boxes? Is it going to weaken the product? I really like topps chrome and bought 4 boxes last year so would you suggest someone like me buying a couple jumbo boxes?

Any idea on when the checklist will be released?

Will Marcus Stroman be in the set?

Love Chrome and looking forward to this years checklist, with possible Abreu, Tanaka, Springer, Polanco, Taveras, Guererro and others rcs!!

always love the chrome. i just hope this year isnt filled with ton of redemptions like 2013

I ALWAYS HAVE A SOFT SPOT CHROME, THEY ALWAYS HAVE A NICE STYLE TO THEM, AND THEY KEEP GETTING BETTER IN MY OPINION. SORRY FOR THE CAPS, I DIDN’T REALIZE THEY WERE ON, THANK YOU!
