2025 Topps Chrome Blaster - SSP Hit!
2025 Topps Chrome has arrived and boasts an expanded 300 card base set. The set features the best from Topps Series 1 & 2 and also offers up the first base rookie cards for some of the hottest rookies in 2025.
In this post we are going to take a look at the retail Chrome Blaster Box. Each box offers up 7 packs with 4 cards each. Exclusive to the blaster boxes are the Sepia Refractors, there are four in each blaster. Below is a pack by pack gallery of the blaster box. Any hits will be highlighted.
The first pack started out strong with a Kristian Campbell base rookie. He is one of the rookies in this set who receives their first base rookie card. Also found in this pack is Josh Naylor RayWave parallel and a 1990 Anniversary Chrome insert of Brooks Lee. With the chrome treatment, I feel that this is the best the 1990 Topps design has ever looked.
In the second pack, the first of the four Sepia Refractors was found. Michael Harris II was the player on this Sepia. Also pulled was another RayWave, this time a rookie cup of Athletics closer Mason Miller.
Pack three included a Sepia of New York Mets rookies Luisangel Acuna. There was also a base refractor of Daniel Schneemann of the Cleveland Guardians.
The fourth pack was a banger in hindsight. This pack included 6 cards instead of the stated 4! There was a Teal Refractor 222/299 of Willy Adames of the San Francisco Giants. A Prism parallel of Cincinatti Reds rookie pitcher Rhett Lowder. It finished off with an Ultra Violet All-Stars of James Wood of the Washington Nationals.
It wasn’t until I was done going through the all of the packs in the blaster and then checking out the different inserts that I found out that the Ultra Violet All-Stars are a SSP Insert! The odds for these are 1:561 packs or 1:3 cases of blasters.
Pack 5 included a Future Stars Insert of Junior Camanero, a Salvador Perez RayWave refractor and a Sepia refractor of Yilber Diaz.
Pack 6 contained the fourth RayWave refractor and it also brought hit #2 of the blaster. A chrome rookie card autograph of Cleveland Guardians reliever, Erik Sabrowski. It’s always a good thing to get an autograph in a blaster. This year the blaster pack odd are 1:96 or 1:14 blasters.
Wrapping up the box was the fourth Sepia Parallel featuring Los Angeles Angels pitcher Tyler Anderson. (This one goes into my University of Oregon PC.) Also pulled a base refractor of Manny Machado, San Diego Padres.
Overall, this was a great blaster. Packs that includes a Sepia Refractor were five card packs instead of four. If you are looking for a variety of parallels, Topps Chrome will give you that. In this blaster I pulled 12 different parallels. 4 each of the RayWave and Sepia Refractors, 2 base Refractors, 1 Prism parallel and a Teal Refractor #/299.
