Topps seems to have got into the habit of re-releasing every single range as a "Chrome" version. I already had the 'Numbers Game' insert from Topps Update 2020 and through the UK collectors group on Facebook, I have now got the Chrome version as well. A big thank you to Wilhelm for sending me this.
Card Number 620: Topps Chrome Update Numbers Game insert, 2020; #NGC-15
The blue shine on this is due to how it scanned. The bottom right corner was orange on the non-Chrome release.
The back is the same as the non-Chrome release except that the title and the square with the number in are both yellow on this release.
Also, as Fuji pointed out in the comments last time, for a card celebrating a player's number, why don't they show the number on his uniform? This is one of those rare occasions where Topps used a photo that showed Tony's face. Topps have used so many photos of Tony's back in the past, and then on this card where that would make sense, they choose not to.
Still, it's a nice shiny card. Wilhelm also included a bonus card in the envelope, which I will blog tomorrow!
Total: 620 cards
I like these inserts. The colors on the Topps version pop a bit more, but that could be because chrome cards don't always scan well.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I rag on Topps and their newer inserts... I've gotta admit that I can't wait to add this card to my collection.
