2009 Topps Chrome hobby box

[ffgameman]

My birthday box has been broken (although my birthday isn't till April 14)

I was unimpressed with the two autographs (about as low-end as you could get from the product), but I did get a nice variety of rookies and refractors.

I'm working on scans at the moment, but here are the goods:

Autographs
David Freese rookie autograph
Ricky Romero rookie autograph

Rookies
Gordon Beckham
Rick Porcello refractor
Bobby Scales
Jesse Chavez
James McDonald
James McDonald refractor
Hunter Jones
Dexter Fowler
Ricky Romero
Edwin Moreno
Walter Silva
Josh Outman
Andrew McCutchen (four years late lol)
Chris Jakubauskus (and refractor)
David Freese
David Freese blue refractor /199
Brett Cecil
Koji Uehara (reserved for Chip if we can ever trade)
Fernando Martinez
Jason Motte

Refractors and other
Ryan Braun
Matt Cain
Edgar Renteria
Kevin Youkilis
Carlos Lee WBC refractor /599
Ichiro and other WBC
Zack Greinke blue refractor /199
Rich Harden Gold refractor /50

Could have been worse I guess. Disappointed with the autographs but at least they are on-card.

Most of the recent Topps Chrome stuff is a fun break, if nothing else.

Sure, you could have done better, but you could have done worse too.

Very true.

At least both autographs are starting players this year.

Ricky Romero is quite the ball player. Not a bad one at all!

+1 and if I'm not mistaken he pitched well tonight.

Thanks guys.

In evaluating this box at first glance I relied too much on Beckett.

And, the autograph was DAVID Freese, not Ryan as I posted. :lol:

 

[ffgameman]

Nice; Freese has been selling for $10+ lately.

Yeah, Cardinals fans have already boarded the hype train on Freese, and that's first auto. That might be his second release behind his 2009 Bowman with Chrome release too.

I also pulled his base rookie and blue refractor so I might consider looking for his other base refractors.
