2011 Topps Chrome 3 Boxes

**txbevo** · 09-08-2011, 01:36 AM

I have been looking forward to this release. Picked up three boxes today. Overall, a solid product. The warping issues from last year are not present this year. The cards look great and the on card autos look very sharp IMO. I didn't hit any huge pulls, but was pretty happy overall. My only disappointment was that I pulled the exact same two (2) autos in the first two boxes. However, a couple of extra "hits" helped make up for that. I most likely will be busting some more boxes. Here is what I pulled:

Box 1

Darwin Barney Refractor Auto /499
Carlos Peguero Auto

Box 2

Darwin Barney Auto
Carlos Peguero Auto

I was more excited when I thought I was getting the entire set, but apparently Topps has clarified that it is for a "set" of 5-6 cards. Still, an extra 5-6 autos is never a bad thing.

Of course I have a ton of base. I am putting the set together, but have a bunch of dupes. Haven't sorted it all out yet, but if you are looking for something in particular LMK and I will see if I have it. Everything except what is noted as PC is FT/FS. Thanks for the look!
