Box Breaks: 1 Box of 2018 Topps Chrome Sapphire Edition

 

So last year's edition of Chrome Sapphire Edition was sold as an online exclusive in set form only and retailed for about $1500 if I recall. This year, Topps decided to make it in box form and so curiosity got the best of me and I decided to try a box. For $200 you get 3 autos, 3 Red parallels numbered to 20 and a 1 in 5 box shot at a superfractor. Of course it's a 700 card set, so getting a nice parallel might be tough, but I feel like it's worth the risk. So here's what I got

Notable Base Aaron Judge
Gary Sanchez
Andrew Benintendi
Buster Posey
Jose Altuve League Leaders
Stephen Strasburg League Leaders
Clint Frazier RC
Shohei Ohtani RC



Red Parallels
Victor Caratini (#7/10)
Gregor Blanco (#5/10)


Base Autos
Ryan McMahon
Sandy Alcantara

Green Auto ParallelRhys Hoskins (#20/50)

Superfractor
Austin Hedges 

Overall Thoughts: Not too bad at all! The cards are BEAUTIFUL. Man they look great. So with a 700 card base set and only getting 100 cards, expect a TON of commons. Happy to pull the Judge base and also the Ohtani rookie. The red parallels were nothing special, neither were the base autos, but the Hoskins Green Auto was nice and it's my first Hoskins auto to boot. Plus it's on card. Such a sweet card. Did pull a superfractor but again a 700 card base set so it was Austin Hedges. All in all still a fun break and I wish I had maybe bought just one more box before it sold out. Here's some pics of the cards
