One 2016 Topps Chrome Baseball Hobby Case

[mikec5000]

I busted this back on the first weekend of August but haven't had time to post it. I've participated in a few case breaks but this was my first solo case break so I was very excited. The long and short of it is I had a ton of fun breaking it but was underwhelmed with the content. I made 4 complete base sets 1-200 (keeping one) and one complete insert set of Future Stars, Perspectives and Youth Impact. Just showing scans of some of the refractors and all autos.

Unfortunately no big name monster hits but like I wrote in the beginning of the post I had a ton of fun. All are available on ebay. I would consider trading for the players in my sig and/or World Series/Superbowl MVP autos (only interested in pack pulled autos wearing the jersey of the team they won the award with). Thanks for the read and good luck with your breaks!
