2022 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary Baseball Variations Guide
You might be ripping packs for the color, but there are 2022 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary Baseball Variations to be on the watch for as well.
Mixing current stars and all-time greats, a total of 25 players get the image swap treatment. Without a lot of action in the photos, they’re easier to miss than most sets.
2022 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary Baseball is modelled after 1953 Topps. It’s not just the layout that’s the same. Like Topps Heritage, the player pictures are also modelled after the year. That means it’s all tight shots and portraits with very little in the way of action. So when it comes to the SSPs, they’re stealth. Smiles, tilts of the head and uniform colors are some of the things to watch for.
2022 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary Variations are tough pulls. When it comes to hobby packs, they carry 1:608 pack odds. They’re easier in hobby LITE at 1:364. They’re also in blaster packs at a rate of 1:509.
You Want the Codes to Confirm?
Without the photos jumping out and screaming “This is an SSP!” the codes on the back come into play when it comes to confirming variations.
As usual for Topps, there’s a code at the end of the small print. It’s intended for production and not collector use, hence its small size. But if you have good eyesight or a reliable magnifying glass, the final digits of this code can be helpful in differentiating base cards from their variation counterparts.
Remember these two CMP code endings:
- Base – 218
- Variations – 251
