I wish my 2 boxes of Chrome were as good a the 2 Haze28 opened!
Without further ado.
Box 1
Box 2
Tommy Medica /199
And honestly, I think I actually did better with my Blaster from Walmart! (considering I spent $20 vs. $135)
Jeff Robernus /50
Nothing great, all RC autos, so we will see how some turn out!
I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

An Abreu auto would do nicely
( More likely closer in value to Bobby than Jose
)
Kidding.
Of course, pinstripes always work for me ... Wait for pricing and we'll talk?
But it's held for you.

Then I'll wear my skunk's white stripe proudly, my clubmate!
Actually, compared to my last A&G break, I did 1000% better with Chrome.
I recently did a box of 2013 A&G and I don't think I had a worse box in my life! It made my crappiest card experience (SBay 'not so' SuperBox) up till then, look better ... Which was really, really bad.
In fact, my 2 boxes of Chrome, combined with my 1 blaster was better than a half case of Bowman earlier this season. Wow, Chrome was pretty darn good after all!

Those aren't bad looking cards. If you don't mind parting with the Abreus I might have some things you would like for trade. LMK.

Nice Gold pull from retail!
Yea, Chrome is always hit or miss. I'm so hesitant to buy one. Maybe if I do I can join the skunk club as well : )

nice blaster maybe i'll roll the dice on one.
Funny thing about chrome, i watched 9 cases of breaks and have read a bunch of break recap threads and the one guy i'm chasing Rougned Odor is barely in ANY of these breaks. In fact I've seen about 4x the abreu autos pulled than I have odor...and about 20x heaney and marisnick
