Product Details
Continuing to evolve, 2023 Topps Chrome Update Series Baseball transitions to a full-fledged MLB Hobby product instead of the smaller, Retail-only release of the past.
One new option this time is the "MLB Debut" autograph patch series that Topps teased at the start of the season.
The Topps.com presales took place on October 20. Formats include Hobby boxes with one autograph for $129.99 ($139.99 on release day), Breaker's Delight boxes with two autographs for $249.99 ($274.99 on release day), and Jumbo Hobby boxes with three autographs for $349.99 ($374.99 on release day).
2023 Topps Chrome Update Series Baseball Base / Refractors
The base set for 2023 Topps Chrome Update Series Baseball features 220 cards from 2023 Topps Update Series Baseball, including Rookie Debuts and traded players. Of course, these all get a chromium upgrade.
Each Hobby box should contain six Base Refractors and three Prism Refractors. With Jumbo boxes, every pack has one base Refractor parallel.
The expanded Refractor rainbow offers Hobby-only Green Refractors (#/99) and Gold Mini Diamond Refractors (#/50) along with Jumbo-only FrozenFractors (#/5).
