Much tougher to track down than the main Topps Chrome set, 2015 Topps Chrome Update Baseball is a special product that is exclusive to retail. Similar to last year, the packs can only be found in Holiday Mega Boxes that also include regular packs of Topps Update Series.
Unlike last year, the base set is not numbered on the back with a different prefix. The cards instead feature the same number as their Update Series counterparts. However, it is quite easy to spot the cards given their Bubble/Pulsar Refractor finish. The exact number of base cards is not yet known, but collectors can also find numbered Gold (1:12 packs) and Black (1:29 packs) parallels.
In addition to the base and parallel cards, the limited release offers a few hits and one insert also featuring the Refractor design. Chrome All-Star Stitches Relics fall 1:32 packs and there is a signed version, Chrome All-Star Stitches Relics, that is numbered to 25 and averages 1:559 packs. Lastly, Chrome Rookie Sensations fall in every other pack and mirror the 25-card set in the base Update Series.
The release builds on the 2015 Topps Chrome Baseball product but features the subjects and images from 2015 Topps Update Series Baseball. The seasonal retail boxes are priced at $14.99 per box at Target and include five packs of Update Series and two packs of the exclusive Chrome Update packs.
Product Configuration: 4 cards per pack, 2 packs per Holiday Mega Box (Plus 5 packs of Update)
Price Point: Low- to Mid-End Baseball Card
Target Audience: Chrome Fans, Set Builders, Rookie Collectors

Bought a box of this today. Among the Chrome Update cards:
Bryant
Russell
Buxton
Correa
There seem to be a few on ebay, with Correa far outperforming Bryant in auction formats.
Seriously thinking of going back to Target tonight and buying the rest of their boxes, especially since we are trying to work on finishing the Topps Update set anyway.

Eddie Butler is also in the set. It looks complete at 45 instead of 55 in previous years
Jerseys
Kris Bryant
prince Fieldler
The packs all pack out the same coalition wise. You get the same 4 cards unless the pack has the rookie sensation or a gold/black
Jersey packs have a jersey and 1 card
Looks like 65000 boxes made so about 10000 to 12000 of each card if everything packed out

Ches Jones, Daniel Thanks!

By early indications with sales on ebay, looks like this issue is being treated like the 2011 Update Diamond/Cognac issue. And Correa = Trout. Bryant = Goldschmidt.

Add Bryce Harper to the All-Star Stitches Relic Checklist. Pulled that today from a number of boxes I purchased.

Fun product. Bought 6 boxes today chasing a Correa chrome card and got one! Also was SO lucky to get a Jacob deGrom All Star Stitches auto relic 21/25 so you can add him to the list. I love this in box format so it cannot be searched! Happy hunting all! :-)

With only 50 cards in the set, the big name chance is fantastic and a fun & reasonable set build. Card looks were a VERY pleasant surprise and a great appendix to the base set.
Pulled an Altuve(ASCR-JA) Relic today, so add that one to the list as well.

We pulled a 2015 Topps Update Chrome All Star Stitches Autographs ASCARBP Buster Posey 25/25 yesterday. Tough to build the sets we are experiencing though. This is a great product and even better than last years!

Can’t complain – got a box for Christmas and pulled a De From Auto #25 from one of the two chrome packs!
