I got these cards today from a box of 2008 Topps Chrome hobby I bought at Wal-Mart....In the Beckett guide it says the Buchholz is an EXCH....was only some of the cards available by EXCH or all?....mine is serial #'d 7/500....Thanks in advance for any help.

Looks like you have the refractor version. Sometimes Topps runs out of stickers so they will insert the lower #'d stuff(maybe they have 700 stickers and there's 1,000 plus base autos but they can still produce the 500 ref and the lower parallels with the 700 stickers) with the autos and the cards there are more of will be redemptions. I hope that came out the way it was in my head. lol Of course this is only speculation on my part though.

I don't believe it's the exchange but as schmuffer said it looks like the refractor version and that is numbered to 500. If you have the OPG you should be able to find your card listed as such.....
