Frequently asked
What makes Sapphire different from regular 2023-24 Topps Chrome?
Sapphire is a premium upgrade with a limited print run and exclusive blue sapphire overlay on the chrome stock. It has the same 190-card base set but guarantees one autograph per box, whereas the base Chrome product does not.
Who are the key rookies in this set?
Victor Wembanyama is card #1 and the marquee rookie. Other notable 2023 draft picks include Scoot Henderson, Brandon Miller, Jarace Walker, and Kobe Bufkin. Wembanyama is a Fanatics exclusive and has not signed for Panini, making his Topps Chrome autograph highly sought.
What are the Sapphire Refractor parallels?
There are five tiers: Gold /50, Orange /25, Purple /10, Red /5, and Padparadscha 1/1. Each base card can be pulled as a refractor parallel, with the 1/1 Padparadscha being the rarest.
What autograph options are in Sapphire?
You can pull Topps Chrome Autographs (100 signers including Wembanyama), Certified Rookie Autographs, or 1972 Topps Autographs. All are numbered from /50 down to 1/1, and the guaranteed one auto per box is your chase.
What are Sapphire Selections and Infinity?
Sapphire Selections is a 20-card insert of the best 2023 draft rookies, exclusive to this product. Infinity is a 10-card insert of the most collectible players in the game. Both are Sapphire-exclusive inserts.
How many cards are in the base set?
The base set has 190 cards, the same size as the regular 2023-24 Topps Chrome. It includes rookies, current NBA vets, and retired legends.
Is this a good value compared to regular Topps Chrome?
Sapphire is pricier due to the guaranteed autograph per box and limited print run, but you're paying for scarcity and the exclusive sapphire chrome stock. If you're chasing Wembanyama or other rookie autos, the guaranteed hit makes it more predictable than base Chrome.
What are the best inserts in 2023-24 Topps Chrome Sapphire Edition?
Worth keeping an eye out for: Sapphire Selections, Infinity, Topps Chrome Autographs, Certified Rookie Autographs, 1972 Topps Autographs.
