Buckle up, collectors—this week, Topps is bringing the heat with a lineup of Chrome releases that’ll have you clearing space on your shelves faster than you can say “refractor.” Whether you’re a fan of baseball, basketball, soccer, or even the galaxy far, far away, there’s something shiny and new for everyone to sink their teeth into. Let’s dive into the madness!
2024 Bowman Chrome: The OG of Shiny Baseball Cards
Release Date: Wednesday, 8/14 – 12PM EST
First up, we’ve got the granddaddy of Chrome sets—2024 Bowman Chrome. For the uninitiated, Bowman Chrome has been the go-to for prospecting enthusiasts since it first hit the scene back in 1997. It’s the place where the baseball card dreams of future Hall of Famers are born (or at least where they get their first autograph). With 5 cards per pack, 6 packs per mini-box, and 2 mini-boxes per master box, this year’s release is staying true to its roots while continuing to tease you with the possibility of pulling that next big superstar. And don’t forget, each Hobby Box comes with two autos—because what’s Bowman Chrome without a couple of signatures to make your heart skip a beat? Price is still TBA, but let’s just say you might want to start counting your pennies now.
2024 Star Wars Chrome: The Force is Strong with This One
Release Date: Wednesday, 8/14 – 1PM EST
Next, we take a hyperspace jump to the Star Wars universe with the 2024 Star Wars Chrome release. Whether you’re a Jedi Master of card collecting or just a padawan, this set promises to deliver the goods. With 10 cards per pack and 10 packs per box, you’ll be unboxing a galaxy’s worth of shiny characters, scenes, and maybe even a Sith Lord or two. Plus, each Hobby box comes with one guaranteed autograph—so you might just find yourself with a signature from a legendary character (or perhaps that one droid you can never remember the name of). All this Star Wars magic is yours for $109.99 a box, or you can opt for the Value Box at $24.99. Either way, it’s a bargain compared to what the Millennium Falcon costs these days.
2023/24 Topps Chrome UCC Sapphire: For the Soccer (or Football) Aficionados
Release Date: Thursday, 8/15 – 12PM EST
Calling all soccer fans! The 2023/24 Topps Chrome UCC Sapphire release is dropping this week, and it’s shinier than a freshly polished trophy. With 4 cards per pack and 8 packs per box, this set is packed with the best of the beautiful game. And if that’s not enough to get you pumped, each box includes one autograph, so you might just land a signature from the next big soccer (or football, if you prefer) sensation. All this sapphire goodness comes at a premium, with Hobby boxes priced at $429.99. But hey, who said collecting was a cheap hobby?
