Cheap Wax Wednesday Box Breaks: 2022 Topps Chrome Sonic Lite Baseball
2022 Topps Chrome Sonic Lite Baseball. What? Don’t worry, you are not alone. So what is Topps Chrome Sonic? It is basically just Topps Chrome in a different package with some different parallels to chase down. The base set is exactly the same as Topps Chrome. All 225 cards are the same, with the same photos (although there is a small difference between these and standard 2022 Topps Chrome cards). What Sonic has that regular Chrome does not is RayWave and Sonic parallels. Both of those are exclusive to this release.
With this one being a Hobby Lite box, signatures are scarce although they do exist in the form of Dual and Triple Autographs. You can expect to find one just once in every 10,425 packs or so. That is about once in every 650 boxes, so don’t be upset if you don’t find one.
