Chrome has been one of the best returns in value for football cards this year.

because its freaking gorgeous with a salty crop of rookies and a pretty good return. i prefer retail because of the colors the blasters and racks are delightful breaks... that and my 3 boxes of hobby were a bloodbath!

I was at a show earlier today and a dealer was asking $110 for a box. Insanity.

Yep, this year's iteration of Chrome is one of the best, with on-card autos and a crop of rookies that are performing rather well. There are quite a few auto variations as well, making for a very deep checklist.
Unfortunately, while autos are a big draw to the product, refractors are just as popular, leaving many LCSs in the cold as the high market price of hobby product makes the base price of retail all the more appealing. Who wants to pay $110+ for a box of hobby when you can pay $59.97 for 3 blasters, which will give you the equivalent number of packs, and just as many colored refractors?

Topps Chrome has always been one of the more popular products. Mix in some well designed insert cards, plenty of colored refractors, a pile of rookie autographs; many on card, along with a rookie crop performing very well on the field and there will be heightened demand. The product kicks the snot of anything Panini has put out this year. I made sure to load up on my favorite players as the parallels become harder to find after the initial flood. I've got a feeling 2012 Chrome will also be a huge hit just from the potential draft/rookie crop alone. Don't wait too long to buy next year.

This is exactly why.
Shops didnt pre-order as much, which dropped initial offering prices, but because of how awesome the set is and looks, combined with on card autos may make this product the best of the year when all is said and done. Five Star will be its only competitor unless Panini finds a way to make NT look better than an overpriced box of prestige.

Are you comparing NT and its price to topps chrome and its price? If chrome came out at 150 a box it wouldn't be that
hot. Price is EVERYTHING now a days.
