2022 Topps Baseball Series 2

[G1911]

Chrome is like $275 a box, and Topps screwed up and didn’t insert the big SSP rookies. The shine carries a huge premium this year.

Wait what? I thought that was the draw of the Chrome. To get those few SPs (Julio, Witt, Tork, etc). Why else would Seattle spots in case breaks be going for around $2k?

They're just not guaranteed. You can still pull them from Chrome hobby and Chrome jumbo. Regular Hobby Chrome guarantees 2 autos per box and you get 5 with a jumbo, but jumbo is pricey.

The big SSP's weren't packed out at all. They're compensating by giving away a 2 card silver pack for the sold boxes; but these packs will almost all go to distributors and then big sellers and breakers, not the actual person who paid the ~$275 a box. The better ones will pass them onto the actual buyers, I think Blowout has already promised it. Topps is taking a lot of crap among the younger crowd for this one. Not a good look alongside the big price hike this year for Chrome.

Oh wow. Come to think of it, I've only seen their autos pulled during breaks.
