Live 2013 Topps Chrome Case break

jonefriedman · 03-21-2014, 09:00 AM

Hi All,

This morning I will be breaking a case of 2013 Topps Chrome. I will be updating each box and have scans of all bigger hits. At this point, I do NOT plan on selling or trading until I have a full sense of what I have. I will return polite request for cards once I have completed the break.

On a side note, I did break two of the "mega" 2013 topps update boxes and pulled one really nice card: Black refractor Puig /99. I will scan with my first batch of hits to post.

So off we go.....

Cant wait for the scans of the big breaks! GL man! 2013 TC is so fun to open!

Doublexthebeast · 03-21-2014, 09:14 AM

Good luck! I haven't seen one of these cases get opened in a while.

Gurds · 03-21-2014, 09:18 AM

Good Luck!! If you hit either the Atomic Auto, or Red Refractor Auto of Allen Webster, I'm your guy

ccoffee99 · 03-21-2014, 09:27 AM

Interested in all Davd Wright color refractors.

jonefriedman · 03-21-2014, 09:28 AM

Box #1:

Refractors of note:

McCutchen
Gausman

Numbered refractors:

Youklis /75

Autos:

Maronde base auto
Ruf refractor auto /499

Bigger Hits (included the black Puig mentioned above):

Not a bad start...

Doublexthebeast · 03-21-2014, 09:31 AM

Not a bad start with the non auto cards. The autos can only get better!

calculusdork · 03-21-2014, 09:34 AM

Hey OP, if you happen to pull any Alex Wood color (gold or better), I am a buyer.

Good luck!

TrueNE_09 · 03-21-2014, 09:37 AM

Very cool! Best of luck, look forward to the updates.

babyfaceposey · 03-21-2014, 09:38 AM

Love this product. Was super loaded. Good luck op.!!

jake312 · 03-21-2014, 09:40 AM

Awesome how you put scans with each box! GL man!

jonefriedman · 03-21-2014, 09:43 AM

Box #2:

Refractors of note:

Cabrera

Color refractors:

Wilin Rosario blue /199

"Better" hits:

No shame in the Machado and the autos did improve a bit.

jonefriedman · 03-21-2014, 09:55 AM

Box #3:

The weakest box so far, and hopefully of the rest of the break:

Refractors of note:

Strasburg xfractor

Color refractors:

Noland Arenado blue /199

Youkilis black /100

Autos:

Casey Kelly base auto
Kyle Gibson base auto redemption

As you can read, nothing worth a scan, so lets move on...

Thommy · 03-21-2014, 09:57 AM

LMK if moving the Puig.

DarkTiger29 · 03-21-2014, 10:07 AM

So far I'm interested in the Casey Kelly & Ryu base autos. Very nice hits so far

Haze28 · 03-21-2014, 10:24 AM

Not bad so far, I'm still working on the xfractor set so if you are looking to move those when you are done pm me!

jonefriedman · 03-21-2014, 10:27 AM

Box #4 - Much, much better....

Color refractors:

Todd Frazier blue /199

Better hits:

The Cole is the rookie variation. I PC him and am down to the pink and super autos from this set for the rainbow.

The Jay is to /15 and the Cingrani is to 75.

As a side note, this set has almost perfect coalition. I completed three boxes, started the fourth and notice that I was seeing dupes. I stopped, sorted and had exactly one set after three boxes. Pretty amazing.

jake312 · 03-21-2014, 10:29 AM

Nice Cingrani Sephia! And Yelich! That Cole rainbo# is gonna be SWEET!

EDIT: If only they were live!

tentimesodds · 03-21-2014, 10:38 AM

This is already almost as good as my case--best color auto I got was a sepia Rob Brantly and the Machado and Puig blacks (realizing the Puig was not from this break) are better color than anything I got on those names. The only thing that saved me from disaster was a Profar 1972 auto /25, but I'll still drop a few hundred overall on the case. Hope you pull a super!

indyguy · 03-21-2014, 10:43 AM

Good luck with the rest. I'm interested in any Gerrit Cole and Wil Myers that you are not keeping.

jonefriedman · 03-21-2014, 10:45 AM

Box #5 turned out to be a nice box as well...

Refractors of note:

Evan Gattis

Wil Myers xfractor
Yu Darvish xfractor

Color Refractors:

Josh Johnson blue /199

Better Hits:

Really like the way the JoFer looks online so looking forward to see the live one in hand. Hopefully my luck continues...

jake312 · 03-21-2014, 10:48 AM

NICE JOFER!!!!!!!!

jake312 · 03-21-2014, 10:49 AM

If sellin it PLEASE lmk!

jake312 · 03-21-2014, 10:55 AM

How much is a case of this?

jonefriedman · 03-21-2014, 10:57 AM

Box #6-

Well it had to get a bit cooler after that start, and it did:

Refractors of note:

Tyler Skaggs refractor

Color Refractors:

Dan Straily black /100

Ryan Braun gold /50 - good card pre-doping I guess

Autos:

Brantley base auto
Adam Eaton base auto redemption.

I will post the gold in the next box that has something worth posting.

Onward and upward...
