A bit too busy of a design but I'll buy a few boxes, last years was a fantastic product.

T206 · 02-28-2017, 04:48 PM

Which rookies will be in TC?

okumeister · 02-28-2017, 04:49 PM

The award insert (Koufax) look awesome.

Jaypers · 02-28-2017, 04:54 PM

The Waves have invaded TC.

Lovely.

I HATE the colors in Topps and Topps Chrome this year. Should have just kept it simple.

ThoseBackPages · 02-28-2017, 05:10 PM

Those color "Cones" still bother me :/

I think they look great on the non-autos. However I don't think it looks good with autos at this time. Will have to wait and see if my mind changes once in hand.

TASS · 02-28-2017, 05:16 PM

Shitty design by Topps, keep it clean and simple.

imbluestreak23 · 02-28-2017, 05:45 PM

Yuck! Only thing they got right was the etching!

cpa85 · 03-01-2017, 09:33 AM

The Award Winners design looks beautiful. Really disappointed the Five Tool Player insert wasn't included. That set looks fantastic, and would really pop even more in Chrome.

Also confused about the inclusion of the 1987 design, since it's already in chrome for the S1 silver packs.

tkraft24 · 03-01-2017, 10:21 AM

Now that I see the design in Chrome, the base RC autographs look similar to the 2015 Bowman's Best RC autographs.

BlowoutBuzz · 03-01-2017, 11:43 AM

Retail-exclusive info added to the item -- three types of Refractors.

RossOK · 03-01-2017, 12:25 PM

My goodness, those rookie auto cards are completely cluttered.

enyouartist · 03-01-2017, 03:33 PM

Probably my least favorite Topps Chrome of all time. Even if it was Topps Finest instead of Topps Chrome, the design is waaay too busy. Reminds me of a 90s insert; Not in a good way.

Orange October · 03-01-2017, 03:55 PM

These remind me of Bowman's Best a bit.

I hope they have more of the 1987 Chrome autos

Has anyone checked out the pre-sale case prices since being relisted? Wow! Makes it a lot easier to sell my cases instead of ripping. Glad I pre-ordered more than my usual amount.

markinca · 06-02-2017, 12:04 PM

I don't know why Topps is so enamored with making their designs busier and busier. I mean you look at 2016 and 2017 topps, and it looks like Photoshop just threw up all over a baseball card.

I wish they would just go back to white borders and a nice, clean design - 2011 is probably my favorite in recent years, followed closely by 2013.

Got mine cheap too.

I will be selling. No sense ripping.

I like the design.

This rookie class will be great. The two big names are as big as last years. Probably not as much depth(Like who will be the top pitcher?) but two at top are as good as recent years.

centereacan06 · 06-02-2017, 12:22 PM

I have a feeling the color refractors will look great. These cards always look much better in person.

Yaga · 06-02-2017, 12:23 PM

Hobby Cases 1174.95 now!!?!?!? Omg that's a massive increase

Where are you seeing this?

I got mine to my door at under 9. And I think others have said this will only go up.

Nevermind, I just saw it.

Chaysr20 · 06-02-2017, 12:31 PM

Geez. Easy sell at this rate with two cases preordered at over $400 less per...
