Fairly excited for this product, even though I think Topps has used the '52 set design waaaaay too much for many products. Still, it is a classic, and seeing it in Chrome is pretty cool. I love the mix of new and older greats as well.
Breakdown:
Refractors: Snell, G. Marquez, Kluber, T. Davidson, Blackmon, LeMahieu. (Two Rockies and two Yankees. Blech!)
X-Fractor: Mookie Betts
Aqua Wave refractor: David Fletcher
Gold/Rose 70th Wave: Al Lopez #03/50![Roll eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Black/Red 70th Mini Diamonds: Joey Gerber #1/5![Star-struck :star_struck: 🤩](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f929.png)

I like the auto, but I can see where anyone who is not a Twins fan would be disappointed. The auto checklist is a real batch of hits and misses, so this is a hit for me, but there are a lot of bigger hits out there. Nice to get a red #/5--beautiful card--but I am not familiar with Joey Gerber. (Minnesota kid, so won't be hard to check around.)
The most disappointing thing is the condition of the singles. A lot--A LOT--of cards are off-cut. Got some nice singles of the greats, terrible centering. The refractors are mostly good, but not all have perfect centering.

I need to sort them and see how many are poorly cut. Good luck to the rest of you breaking!
