2010 Topps Chrome Strasburg Question...

spcollector · Jun 2, 2010

Right now it looks like Strasburg is not on the 2010 Topps Chrome Checklist (which is set to be released in Sept). Since he is getting called up this week, do you think that Topps will now include a base or Auto Strasburg card in their Chrome set??? Please give me your thoughts... I have been an Upper Deck SP Collector for the past 16 years (putting together the MASTER set each year) and obviously now Upper Deck is no longer, I'm going to have to switch to a Topps product... so the Topps Chrome base set looks the most similar to SPs base sets, I figured I'd go with that, but a 2010 set w/ out Strasburg... thats no good! Let me know what you all think. Especially if you are a Topps Chrome collector. Thanks, BO

They did that with Hanson last yr. His autos were un #'d.

They will do it with Stras most likely. There's no reason to not have him in there.

The checklist is far from final and there are still plenty of TBDs in there.

Id like to see him have an auto in there too. It may be a pipe dream but even if he was only a base card it would assure your case a little more value...making it a much safer buy.

TC is going to be great this year, 1 USA auto per case is just an added bonus. All on card autos.

Seems like Topps is finally getting the message...death to the sticker auto, and triple (threads) death to the silver sticker auto.

Yep, Topps Chrome will be huge and Cashburg train will keep it rolling. Good times again in Sports Cards.

If you collect retired/HOF players, feel free to enjoy our giant silver stickers.

Sincerely,

Yes but Hanson auto was a chrome one. He was talking about adding a base Topps auto in the Chrome boxes.

Has the usa auto checklist been released?

If both Stras and harper have autos in this one, and with Heyward as well, this product would be over $100 a box shortly after release.

I would think you could just about guarantee that Topps is going to go all Bruce/Longoria/Hanson with Heyward this year.

I dont think the 2010 team has been announced yet

That was my concern when I first heard about this. I was afraid if they included the 2009 class, the 2010 Bowman Chrome USA's would be pointless to pick up, but since this is an entirely new class (and only college guys at that), I'm very happy.

All In Cards · Jun 2, 2010

Topps said 2010 Bowman would be the last time we see the 2009 Team.

So we should be good but we know they dont always practice what they preach.

uniquebaseballcards · Jun 2, 2010

I just get the feeling that Topps will play Topps Chrome and Bowman Chrome against each other for the foreseeable future. This is kind of a shame because these products generally represent two different parts of the hobby.

Eventually Topps will produce Topps Debut Chrome when Topps Chrome and Bowman Chrome no longer provide the profit Topps is looking for. Or maybe Topps will produce a hybrid set where the base cards will feature prospects with their minor league teams and the parallels in their major league ones (blah).
