2016 Topps Chrome Baseball Variations Guide & Gallery
A perfect example of how less can be more, the 2016 Topps Chrome Baseball Variations offer simple image short prints for a handful of MLB stars. Easily spot the differences with our detailed guide and gallery below.
Unlike many of their other releases, Topps took pity on chromium collectors by identifying the ten variations on the final checklist for 2016 Topps Chrome Baseball ahead of time. Clearly focusing on the younger stars of the league, the group is led by Clayton Kershaw, Mike Trout, Bryce Harper and Kris Bryant, while also touching on key rookies such as Kenta Maeda and Kyle Schwarber.
With hobby odds of 1:464 packs, these are no easy pull. However, they are pretty simple to spot given that most switch the orientation completely from the base card, going from vertical to horizontal. There are also some limited parallels for the variations, including Green (#/99) and Orange (#/25).
See the full breakdown below for the 2016 Topps Chrome Baseball Variations as each base card is shown alongside the variation. This guide is a work in progress and missing variation images will be added when they surface.
