When the news came out that Topps wouldn’t be allowed to make football cards in 2010 the one product that customers said they would really miss is Topps Chrome Football. Thankfully that was just a bad dream, and we have a NFL product line for 2011 that looks to be the most aggressive in the history of the company. Products like Prime, Supreme, Tribute, Unrivaled, and the ultra high end 5 Star Football show increased dedication to the football line. This is indeed the year for new football brands.
Although a lot of the new stuff looks great, Topps Chrome is your life long faith full friend. At least in the card world, your friend delivers reliability and simplicity. Just like it has been for years a box gives you a chrome autograph, and some shiny goodness in the form of refractors. Changes this year include the absorption of the Bowman Chrome Football line into this product. Each box will give you about 2 bowman chrome rookie cards and there are refractors of this line that are numbered to 99 copies. There are also chrome copies of some of your favorite Topps rookie cards over the years. The insert set comes about 4 per box, and features some of the best players in the game like Ray Lewis, Peyton Manning
, Adrian Peterson
, and Randy Moss
.
Our box had a refractor autograph of Tennessee Titan Damien Williams, as well as a blue refractor of Dez Bryant. It also contained veteran refractor cards of Matt Ryan, Reggie Bush, and Matt Shaub. The box was clean, with no sign of production flaws that were seen in Topps Baseball. There were no roller marks on the base cards, centering was crisp on pretty much everything. Well done Topps, now let’s see how you do with some high end.

Topps Chrome FB is always the best value buy in the FB market.
Topps Chrome always delivers, some of the best looking rookie cards out there
I have always like the design of Topps Chrome year-in-and-year-out. They deliver some of the best looking product on the market.
Have yet to see a bad break of this stuff. Here’s hoping I have some luck.
Sweet product!
After seeing Chrome Baseball, I was worried about Football, but it turned out really nice. I pulled that exact same Damien Williams card out of a retail pack! That’s a first for me! Anyway, this is a great product.
You know what you get with Topps
I’m always satisfied with them
I always want to win a box of chrome….
Chrome seems nice this year, but the list of scrubs is kind of irritating.
This is one of my all time favorite types of cards to collect. . . Sure would be nice to win this ..
as somewhat of a novice to football this product is great. it gives me rookies, established stars and a variety of parallels and inserts to pursue. while i havent cracked any hobby the retail has been far more impressive than i had imagined. the retail value packs have orange refractors as exclusives. they are visually stunning and the packs are almost yielding 1 refractor per pack. PLUS the 3 orange cards. this release has been a major hit at the yeager household.
If your box looked good then I think you were lucky. Unfortunately in Hofstra last weekend I saw a lot of the same o/c, dusty cards that were in baseball.
gotta love topps chrome! gotta love a chance to win a free box.
Wouldn’t mind cracking some football…
Topps Chrome has always been a favorite of mine. Love this years topps chrome football
Lovin the contests! Thanks
Thanks for the contest! I’ve been busting the crap out of the retail value packs. The orange refractors and golds are beautiful cards this year!
Topps chrome has always been a decent product.
Thanks for the contest.
09 Topps Chrome was the only football I opened last year. Really solid stuff. Looking forward to 2010 Topps Chrome!
Cards look very sharp this year
chrome FB is awesome
Seems to be a great value, and since it is Football season why not.
I’m in, thanks for the giveaway!
i tried this out yesterday with one of the “value packs” – 3 packs and 3 orange refs. I normally don’t collect football but these cards are gorgeous. It’s a perfect set for someone interested in testing the football waters.
Thanks for the contest…yes they are a CLEAN looking card!
Topps Chrome always makes great looking cards. I’d prefer this then any other company brand cards.
Topps Chrome Football is always a great product. Already opened a hobby box of my own and got a Joe McKnight Patch/Auto redemption, as well as a Colt McCoy Red Refractor. Also got 41 other rookie cards, including seven refractors and two bowman chrome rookies.
TC FT is always nice, except for the black-bordered years. And the Rookie reprint autos look great!
Love Topps Chrome, one of my favoite products every year–like the different boarders
Always like Topps Chrome! I just miss the days when Topps Chrome rookies were THE rookies to have… you know, 1996 & 1997.
Have liked the product from what I’ve seen out of it so far.
I think I might open more football
Looks great. Thanks for the contest!
Chrome Baseball and Football are always my favorite products. Got a box and a few retail, love it as always.
I’ve always been happy with refractor rookies out of this product for some reason. Nice break.
A timeless product
I do like Topps Chrome quite a bit
Count me in for the contest. and count me in for boxes at $45 at Blowout this past weekend
Sweet Cards. Always look forward to them coming out.
nice cards.
Always exciting to see what comes out of this line. Something special about the look of these cards.
I am working on the master base set again this year. Love this product, thankfully it didn’t suffer from the chrome curl as bad as baseball has.
So I’ve seen all these giveaways on this site but never see anything about who wins. Do you guys just notify the winner and not post it on here?
The winner is contacted based on the email or FCB ID he leaves. It’s up to him weather he wants to talk about it or not. Sometimes they do on the box break boards.
