Yeah... I went on a rampage at my LCS today and cracked four boxes of 2012 Topps Chrome because I have been saving up for a chance to get out there. The first one was the 1-per-3-hobby-cases HOT box with all refractors inside. It was pretty awesome... the only card from that box that was not a refractor was one of the two autos (the other auto was a sepia parallel). Without further ado... pictures!

In addition to the below, the hot box put me at 104/220 refractors (47.3%), I got 177/220 base (80.5%), and 17 X-fractors.

Die cuts: Ortiz, Bautista, Strasburg


Lavarnaway and Parker autos, Derek Lowe black #045/100


Clockwise from top left: Milone, Romine, Pomeranz, Mesoraco regular autos


Eric Surkamp auto


Liam Hendricks & Clayton Kershaw blue ref /199


Giancarlo Stanton black ref 060/100


Tom Milone gold ref 04/50


Yonder Alonso sepia auto 23/75


Robinson Cano sepia 75/75


Tim Lincecum red ref 21/25

Yu Darvish black ref 099/100


Mike Trout blue ref 192/199

Really excited about this mailday... I got a LOT of cards!

First, the one I've been waiting for for a month now since I sent in the redemption (which wasn't allowed for the July COTM contest, but I hope it gets into August!) - my Mike Schmidt/Chipper Jones dual auto #07/25:


Pulled this beauty #05/15 out of "pack wars" at my LCS today:

I'm working on base/refractor/blue/base auto sets. So that sort of excludes all the A's except the Milone gold /50.

Thanks, they are very nice looking. A&G is for my set only, and the black Darvish is probably going to be for trade for something nice of Mark Reynolds.

k...thanks anyways.....

I'd really like a shot at that Stanton black.
