Frequently asked
Who's 2022 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary for?
The deep end. People buy this chasing top rookie patch autos and legend signatures, and the price reflects it.
What's the main draw of this product?
It's the autographs and the massive refractor rainbow. Hobby boxes guarantee one auto, and there are over 30 different parallel types to chase, from common Refractors to 1/1 Superfractors. The 1953 design is a nice throwback too.
What are the key rookies in this set?
Bobby Witt Jr., Wander Franco, Royce Lewis, and Steven Kwan are among the notable rookies. Shohei Ohtani leads the set at card #1, though he's not technically a rookie.
How does Hobby LITE differ from regular Hobby?
Hobby LITE has 16 packs instead of 24 and skips most autographs. The only autos in LITE are exclusive Pink Refractors numbered to 15 copies each, making them extremely tough pulls. You do get Black and White Mini-Diamond Refractors exclusive to LITE.
What's the parallel situation like?
It's massive. Every card has 30+ parallels including Refractors at various print runs (/299 down to /5), Atomic Refractors, Wave variants, and more. Odds range from 1:4 packs for base Refractors to 1:12,130 for Superfractors in hobby.
Is this a big set to complete?
Yeah, 500 cards is substantial, especially with small pack sizes (4 cards per pack). You'd need multiple boxes just to hit all the base cards, and that's before chasing parallels.
How do the autographs look?
They use the same 1953 design as the base set and come with their own parallel lineup, including Refractors, Aqua Refractors, Gold Refractors, and 1/1 Superfractors. The design is clean and vintage-feeling.
What's the difference between this and 2021 Platinum Anniversary?
This year moves the design inspiration forward from 1952 to 1953 Topps. It's the second year of the Chrome Platinum line, so the formula is similar but with a fresh design and new player lineup.
What are the best inserts in 2022 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary?
Worth keeping an eye out for: Refractors (1:4 packs), X-Fractors (1:24 hobby packs), Autographs, Superfractors (1:12,130 hobby packs), Image Variations.
