It was very fun opening this hobby box of 2012 Chrome, so kindly sent to me by Topps. Chrome cards have a certain "wow" appeal to them, and the 2012 set does not disappoint. I think I might have ripped a 2010 Chrome box at one point, but I am pretty sure that was retail. This is my first Chrome hobby box. So, without further ado...
Great card of Trout. I think it captures his personality well.
I haven't pulled one single Harper or Darvish, but I think I have all of the Cespedes rookies from every box I've opened.
What would a box of Chrome be without refractors? See above for the refractors I pulled from this box.
Two rookie x-fractors.
Blue bordered flying Chase Utley, serial #ed out of 199!
Justin Upton black border, serial numbered /100!
If the set wasn't so hard to build, it'd be a cool thing to collect all of these die-cut cards. Anyone have an extra Halladay hanging around?! Or any other of my PC players?
And the hits...two autographs per box. Above is a Devin Mesoraco refractor auto, numbered /499.
Last up is an Addison Reed auto. These on card auto Chrome cards look awesome, and Reed's auto is pretty nice.
I'm still stoked about receiving this box of cards, and the results of the box were very nice--minus the fact that there weren't any Halladays, of course. Speaking of, Halladay had another rough outing at Turner Field tonight. He was pulled in the 5th inning--very un-Halladay-esque. I wouldn't be surprised if we hear something about him being injured again and he has some sort of off season procedure. Like many of the Phillies this year, Doc is just totally off.
