This is the penultimate post for my 2013 Topps Chrome box of cards that I received for Christmas. With only four packs remaining, we have a 50% chance of finding that second promised autograph in this particular post! Let's see what happens!
Pack #21:
91. Josh Reddick
109. Jay Bruce
131. Carlos Gonzalez
83. Refractor: Shin-Soo Choo
Wow! This pack was super for me - two Reds including a nice refractor of Choo (and to think I just bemoaned the fact in a previous post that I hadn't pulled any Reds parallels in the box). I guess the cardboard gods are listening (so is it too much to ask for one of those Ultimate Chase autographs for my second auto)?!
Pack #22:
26. Carlos Ruiz
35. Jose Altuve
115. Edwin Encarnacion
Redemption! Auto Rookie Variation Sepia Refractor Parallel of Hyun-Jin Ryu
I have to admit, I typed the previous paragraph then ripped pack #22 and quickly saw the redemption card and my heart beat increased substantially thinking just maybe
I had really hit it big. As it is, this is still a nice card (or at least it will be when it is delivered) - the Sepia autographs are numbered out of 75 copies so this is actually quite rare (in fact, according to the pack odds the sepia refractor rookie autos are seeded 1:403 packs!! There's a decent chance I might list this card (along with a few others from the box) on eBay with the goal of making enough cash to buy a second box of 2013 Topps Chrome (I've really enjoyed busting this product so far).
At this point, the final two packs will simply be gravy... I think both packs could be full of nothing but duplicate of the Athletics and Rays and I'd still be happy with this box!
That is a good pull!
