    Topps Chrome or Threads

    I'm trying to decide which box I should buy. The topps chrome is about $70 and the threads is about $90. Which one is going to be the better investment? Will one hold their value over the other one? I have seen that chrome has more inserts per box, but are they worth as much as the few threads ones? Thanks for any replies.

    I would go threads.

    my box today included

    Rhema McKnight auto
    2x Dwayne Jarrett GU
    Triple GU KC Chiefs
    DeShawn Wynn Letterman auto
    and a handfull of parallel's/inserts/rookie cards

    Granted not all boxes will have as many hits but you have better chances with Threads than Topps Chrome.

    If looking for hits and quick return, grab Threads...if looking for a possible investment in the future, grab Chrome...

    Also, Leaf Certified Materials comes out on 9/24 and looks like it will be a wonderful purchase as well...

    Enigma_shadow what do you mean by "a possible investment in the future"? Are you saying that they hold their value better than threads?

    You will get a lot more RCs out of Chrome. RCs tend to be the investment. Look at Tony Romo. When his cards came out in 2003, no one really cared. But after last season, his RCs skyrocketed...including the low end rcs....

    I would stick with threads because of the odds of getting a peterson or johnson auto. 1:12000 packs is crazy.
