2008 Topps Chrome Baseball blaster box

As in the previous post, picked up one of these to check out the cards and see if i wanted to go for a full box. Check out the vid:



Alright, so you caught me. Every card has a printed signature on it, so sue me :p I purchased this to see if i liked the product and i think i do.

The bust:
Base set is 220 cards, i got 19 of them which were not refractors/inserts.
Refractors i got: Jason Varitek Copper REF 242/599
                         Scott Kazmir
                         Brian Roberts XFractor
                         Casey Kotchman XFractor
                         John Lackey Blue REF
                         Chase Utley XFractor
Inserts i got: A Rod T205 card
                   Jacob Ellsbury 1969 Topps Card
                   Mickey Mantle HR#440
                   Mickey Mantle MMSC48
                   Prince Fielder 1934 Diamond Stars

As you can see the cards are very nice looking. Im really impressed with the design even though i got tricked by those autos. The pictures are very well photographed however i find the xfractors a little eye hurting (Poor wording) but the other refractors are quite nice. The inserts of Mantle are nice looking with a silver background. The Ellsbury was probably the pull of the box as he is a great player. Was surprised to get this much action for a blaster box.

So box wise i give this a 5 out of 6 due to the expectation of getting nothing exceeded.

Product wise i'd say a 4 out of 6.

Like the design, i've heard this is just regular topps chromified. If this is true, i may well be better off purchasing base topps and saving the cash.
