Q1What makes 2022 Sapphire different from regular Chrome?
Sapphire is an online-exclusive parallel set with a blue-tinted chromium stock and shard pattern background. It pulls the 660-card checklist from Series 1 and Series 2, so you get the same players but in a premium, refracted finish.
Q2Which rookies are in this set?
Key 2022 rookies include Julio Rodriguez, Bobby Witt Jr., and Seiya Suzuki. They're rotated into the main checklist rather than appearing as variations, so they're easier to pull than in some other products.
Q3Does Sapphire have autographs?
No. This product has no autographs or other inserts. It's purely a parallel set focused on the refractor finish and numbered parallels.
Q4How many parallels per box?
You'll get two parallel cards per box on average. Specific parallel tiers and print runs weren't fully detailed at release, but the set includes various numbered and refracted versions.
Q5What's the checklist size?
660 cards total, pulling from both 2022 Topps Series 1 and Series 2. It's a comprehensive parallel set rather than a subset.
Q6Is this a good value?
Sapphire boxes were pricey at release (around $325), and some collectors felt the value wasn't there since there are no autos and it's just a parallel set. It's more for collectors who love the blue Chrome aesthetic than for chase hits.
Q7When did 2022 Topps Chrome Sapphire Edition come out?
It dropped December 2, 2022.
Q8What's in a 2022 Topps Chrome Sapphire Edition hobby box?
8 packs per box, 4 cards per pack
Q9Where can I buy 2022 Topps Chrome Sapphire Edition?
We track listings across the major North American card shops and surface the best price up top. The Buy on eBay links go through the eBay Partner Network.
