I wish I could give you guys a wantlist, honestly I do. Trading is hampered because I don’t have an exact list of what I would like, I know that’s a pain in the ass for some people. In regards to the 2007 Topps Chrome break, I was hoping to get a large chunk of the checklist down and request the specific cards I needed. But unfortunately, Topps screwed that one up and give me roughly 70 duplicates of cards I pulled from my previous box. That is complete and utter horsecrap. I’m sorry, but correlation shouldn’t be nonexistent, especially in this type of product. Oh wait, is this an attempt for me to buy more boxes in hopes of getting more cards for the set? Gee, I wonder…
Anyway, if you have any extra 2007 Topps Chrome cards, I’ll take them in near-mint to mint condition. Try to avoid cards you’ve seen in my previous box breaks. I’ll also take refractors and inserts. We have one more baseball box to break from the Black Friday deals, so stay tuned!

Sooooo hot. But, wait, what’s this?
Two in one pack! 
Pretty good start so far; let’s see what the packs offer us.
Am I the only one who sees this as a bad quality photo? Ichiro looks pretty out-of-focus here for some odd reason. I really don’t blame the chrome because this is the same exact quality that’s found on his base card.
I’ve always been fond of this shot of A-Rod. Maybe it’s just because I’ve seen this same exact card 20,000 times.
What are the chances Beltre puts up Mariner-like numbers for the Rangers this year?
Oh, these things again. Yay. As much as I love Mantle, these inserts are extremely annoying. But hey, where else are you gonna see the Mick play the violin?
Oh damn son, that’s a huge bee! Get da @$*% away from me motha#&^@*%!
Like I mentioned in my previous break, I do enjoy these Generation Now inserts. Hint, hint.
Color-cravers would have a hard time coping with the minimal color parallels in the hobby set. The blue refractors are seeded one in every six retail packs while the red refractors were boxloaders only. White refractors are numbered higher and four are pulled from a box on average. Oh yeah, and Cliff Lee’s a tool.
Another thing about these white refractors is that they come in bunches. The Yanks recently signed Jones to be a fourth outfielder and I’m pretty happy about the pickup. Yes, he’s obviously not the same, but he still brings some pop against lefties and he’s an awesome defensive replacement.
I’ll give Jhonny Peralta this, he has some pretty slick cards.
Uh, right. Who is this again?
No, I am not kidding you. In two consecutive packs, I pulled the same exact autograph, albeit this one’s a refractor, but who gives a crap? It’s still a bum prospect. And Topps couldn’t even get the sticker on straight? Good Lord. But in hindsight, I wouldn’t be complaining if it was a Troy Tulowitzki auto.
Who thought this was a good idea again? At least they numbered all the refractors.
It seems like Verlander has been in the league for longer than five years. This will be the end of the white refractor slew, and I don’t think we see another one for the rest of the box.
If there was ever a “Most Epic Cards” contest, Griffey would win hands down.
The Yanks also picked up this has-been, but mostly for minor league work and eating all the left over hot dogs.
The color scheme really works on this card, especially the back. You can definitely see the pop.
That swing is as textbook as it gets. I’m a big fan of DeJesus, not only is he a Jersey boy, but he’s a solid player that can give you production on offense and defense. Injuries took away some valuable playing time, which in turn made the Royals trade DeJesus to the A’s a few months ago. For Card’s Sake is rooting for you, and if that’s not motivation, I don’t know what is.
Sorry, Don Kelly, but For Card’s Sake is not rooting for you.
The money it took to create this card could have fed a starving child.
Dayum! Play at the Plate, if you don’t have this card, I’ll hook you up.
This is the first white refractor of a Generation Now insert I’ve ever pulled, and they definitely look nicer than their regular counterpart.
Ohio. That’s hi in Japanese right? In the last box, we pulled a Kenji Johjima Japanese variation of his rookie card, but traded it away because Kenji Johjima sucks. This one might stay a little bit.
Sigh.
Can’t go wrong with Chromey A-Rod.
I read that the Turkey Red red parallels aren’t short-printed, or any other of the Turkey Red parallels for that matter, despite the fact that the Turkey Red base set has short prints. If that was confusing after you read that, don’t put me in the red, I’m just telling you based off what I read about Turkey Red red parallels.
A-Rod trifecta? Chrome, parallel, mini. Bam.
I am not a big fan of Unique, largely due to the fact of the black borders and how easily they chip. I do like Aceves though, however, the Yanks released him at the end of 2010. Hopefully he bounces back on another squad.
I really don’t know how to explain it, I just like this guy.
The next George Brett ladies and gentlemen.
Austin Romine is a familiar name to Yankee fans as one of the top catching prospects in the organization. Nick Weglarz is an Indians prospect and I had the chance to meet and talk with him during a Trenton Thunder game a few years ago. He was a pretty friendly guy, so I try to pick up his cards whenever I can. By the way, these cards look really cool next to each other.
I still feel compelled to get Nick Adenhart cards anytime I see them. I talked about my initially disgust for this compulsive action in my 
How many of you remember Wainwright pitching major league ball before 2005? Cause he didn’t. He was moving around in the minor leagues for five years before getting the call, and he hasn’t looked back since.
Kevin Gregg still sucking up the place. He actually was signed in 1996 by the Oakland A’s, so I’m not exactly sure what he’s doing in this set. Either way, it took him about seven years before he made his major league debut with the (then) Anaheim Angles in 2003.
Take a guess at who this guy is related to.
How in the world does someone not have a signature? Ironically, Wilkerson would have a more successful career than more than half the other prospects in this set.
Ha… Dicky.
Yipee.
