2009 Topps Chrome Box Break Review- Part 1

2009 Topps Chrome Baseball Hobby Box - Click Image to Close

Hey guys, Drew back here, again. I know, you're probably sick of my box reviews, but TOO BAD!!! You're gonna have to read one (or two...) more of them, well, Part 1 and Part 2 for this break. So, this one is fairly new, when I say fairly I mean kinda sorta a little new. Anyway, here's the break. Enjoy!

PRODUCT CONTENT
- 24 Packs Per Box
- 4 Cards Per Pack
- 96 Cards Per Box
- World Baseball Classic Inserts Fall at 1 in 4 packs (6 per box)
- 2 Rookie Autographs Per Box (on average)

The base set consists of 220 cards, the first 170 being veterans, the next 50 being rookies. There are refractor versions of each card plus x-fractors (only retail exclusive), and other bordered parallels. There are many World Baseball Classic inserts and while most are annoying, I like the ones of players I've heard of. Here's what I got in my box:
