6 Boxes - 2021 Topps Chrome Update

[UMich92]

Busted these last weekend. Very happy with the results. Like everyone else, I was surprised the purple refractors were 1 per pack. There is no indication on the box or the odds that this was the case.

Box 1
Purple Ref - Andrew Vaughn RD, Ke'Bryan Hayes RD
ASG Ref - Brandon Crawford
Black Gold - Luis Robert, Fernando Tatis
Platinum Players - Al Kaline, Stan Musial
Chrome Auto - Jordan Holloway

None of the big rookies but hit an auto. Happy with the start.



Box 2
Base Chrome - Jerred Kelenic RC, Jerred Kelenic RD, Jonathan India RD
Purple Ref - Jonathan India RC, Akil Baddoo RC, Ke'Bryan Hayes RD
ASG Ref - J.D. Martinez, Nolan Arenado
Black Gold - Dylan Carlson
Platinum Players - Nolan Ryan, Lou Brock

No color or numbered parallels but did well with base and purple refractors.



Box 3
Base Chrome - Jonathan India RC, Andrew Vaughn RC, Alek Manoah RC
Purple Ref - Jonathan India RC, Tarik Skubal RD
ASG Ref - Shohei Ohtani
Black Gold - Joey Bart, Christian Pache
Platinum Players - Ichiro, Mike Piazza
Gold Ref Auto - Seth Elledge

More India RCs and a huge hit. Gold ref autos fall 1 in 877 packs.



Box 4
Base Chrome - Jarred Kelenic RC
Purple Ref - No significant.
ASG Ref - Shohei Ohtani, Teoscar Hernandez
Black Gold - Bo Bichette
Platinum Players - Alex Rodriguez, Stan Musial
Chrome ASG Auto - Nelson Cruz

WOW! 3rd auto in 4 boxes and another Kelenic RC. ASG autos fall 1 in 949 packs.



Box 5 - Any Cronenworth fans?
Purple Ref - Jarred Kelenic RC
Blue Refractor - Jake Cronenworth RD/199
Xfractor - Jake Cronenworth RD/99
ASG Ref - J.D. Martinez, Nolan Arenado (yes, same as in box 2)
Black Gold - Yadier Molina, Alex Kirilloff
Platinum Players - Joe Morgan

Two numbered parallels of the same player?!? And a purple Kelenic RC. Blue ref falls 1 in



Box 6
Base Chrome - Jonathan India RC, Andrew Vaughn RC, Alek Manoah RC
Purple Ref - Jonathan India RC, Tarik Skubal RD (most of the purple were the same as box 3)
Refractor - Khalil Lee RC/250
ASG Ref - Max Muncy, Ozzie Albies
Black Gold - Mike Trout
Platinum Players - Vladimir Guerrero, Pedro Martinez



I'm planning to put together the base and purple sets. Other cards are available FT/FS. Please ask.

Heck of a hit on that Cruz auto! I went through 4 boxes and got all the same purples, I think! Maybe they only printed the same 20 guys? If you have no interest in the Yadi Black gold (or that Cruz auto) LMK.
