2020 Topps Chrome Update Mega Box (Box 3)

Here it is...the third and final box. Will this complete the trifecta of duds? 

                                   

Pack 1


Already off to a good start. Nico Hoerner rookie...plus no dupes.

Pack 2


Nothing to write home about here.

Pack 3


The second of the two Bryce Harper cards in the set and the Jesus Luzardo rookie.

Pack 4


Mike Schmidt insert.

Pack 5


Trent Grisham rookie.

Pack 6


Gavin Lux insert.

Pack 7


The last pack (believe it or not) is where it finally starts to get good. Just pulling the Bo Bichette rookie would make it a fantastic pack. These are cards 1, 3 and 4...card 2 was quite surprising.


Randy Arozarena rookie. But not the base card...


...it is the gold refractor version...numbered 03/50. I did not see any of these listed on eBay, however Beckett lists it at $400. (I do know that means absolutely nothing.)

So that last pack was better than anything in the box prior, plus the previous 2 boxes. I'll be putting up a want list for this set soon, unfortunately I still need a lot of the bigger dollar cards. 

Thanks for reading!

  1. Nice pull! I bought a Chrome Update box on a whim and pretty much had instant buyer's remorse. Having trouble remembering a single card I pulled from it.

  2. Nice find! There's high dud potential with these because there are so few cards, but I still always liked buying them at retail prices. I feel like even the base cards make for good trade bait, since it's a Target exclusive that not everyone sees.

  3. Congrats on the salvage! I was just at my Target and the card aisle was completely stocked, with no flippers around! Maybe things are getting better!

  4. It sounds like you had an exciting finish with that Randy Arozarena rookie card!
