2020 Topps Chrome Box Break

What? It wasn't too expensive - let's look for some shininess.

But first, some interesting photos and a big name. Moncada also provides the card that works the best with the design. 
The only Mets content was base content. Better than nothing! 
Here's the base refractors. That Demeritte looks even nicer with him rocking the alternate jersey on a shiny card. In fact, all three of the horizontal cards rock with some great photos.
The Prism ones. Nothing too exciting in these versions, but I guess the Springer is the most unique in the photographic sense. 
My only numbered parallel. Even if it isn't a team colour match, the green wave parallels work with the green of the Wrigley ivy behind the visiting team. This one is /99.
The inserts. The big winner here is easily that die-cut Aaron. The alternate uniform of Hoskins is the closest to dethroning it, but close is more like distant second to the winner.

I may not have gotten a team color match for the one parallel, but I certainly got one for the first of the autographs. Even if it isn't a huge name, it is aesthetically pleasing. 

As for auto #2.
Womp. Womp.

If this had been live, I would have sent it to Night Owl. I'll probably still do so - maybe there will be better luck in turning this into something on that side of the border.

But there you have it!

  1. Bummer on that expired redemption. Topps did extend its redemption deadlines, but only for more recent product, 2022 or later. Womp womp indeed.

  2. I won't have any better luck. "Do you know who I am?" never works for bloggers.
