Upper Deck Card Of The Week: 2013 Upper Deck Ultimate Dual Jersey Tavon Austin

Retail Break 'Em: 2013 Topps Chrome Football Blaster Box

Well, you must have known this by now that I am a CHROMIE! And I am absolutely addicted to these. This is my fourth and best blaster break of the product yet! Yes, I said yet, because to be honest, you never know...

Every (Walmart) blaster box of Topps Chrome football 2013 has 7 packs with 4 cards in every pack. There is also one bonus pack with a rookie jersey card. Those rookie jersey cards can be just more than a swatch. They can be prime and also can have refractor variations and some are rare. That's an even more added bonus to a product that is already the best retail buy.

Here are the base cards in a small stack. You honestly do not get many base cards. Most of what you get is the cream filling, the good stuff. This also makes it fun and challenging for set collectors to try and build a base set.

Good rookies I found to in this blaster including top wide receiver picks and play makers Deandre Hopkins and Cordarrelle Patterson.

Refractors are as follows:

Purple refractor of Jimmy Graham:

And the exciting hit of the break a Tavon Austin rookie jersey card X-factor parallel. This card looks spectacular in person.

Overall without a doubt, the best retail buy there is. You take all of the different aspects of this product from a blaster and it's hard to argue against this fact.

Let me know your thoughts on this break and if you have busted any.

Retail Break 'Em: 2013 Topps Chrome Football Blaster Box

For the third time, I was craving a blaster box of Topps Chrome to bust. If I am going to pick something out retail, I want it to be worth my money and Topps Chrome whether it be football or baseball seems to prove it to me every time.

This particular blaster was picked up from Walmart. The difference between the Walmart and Target blaster boxes is that Walmart's come with a jersey card in every box. There are 7 packs, 4 cards per pack in a Walmart blaster with a bonus 8th pack being a jersey card. They are $19.99 per box.

Here is how I did:

 

Not a lot of base cards. Which isn't a bad thing, unless you want a set.

 

Marked as one rookie per pack, really almost turns out to be two

And the jersey card being Montee Ball.

Overall, once again, I feel like it was $20 well invested. With the amount of rookie cards, inserts, and a jersey card. Topps Chrome proves why it's the best retail buy again and again.

What are your thoughts on this break and Topps Chrome? Do you find it to be the most valuable in retail form? As always, comments are encouraged!
