What you're chasing

Eight reasons to rip it

Chrome Black doesn't pad the box out. Every card in it is a base card, an insert, a numbered parallel or the encased autograph.

Before you buy

Questions

Are you getting more once this sells out?
No. Topps allocated this release once and our allocation is what you see on this page. Once it shows sold out, the only way into the product with us is a spot in one of the release-night breaks.
How does the multi-box discount work?
Two single hobby boxes takes 2% off your whole order, three takes 3%. Three is the ceiling. It applies automatically at checkout — there is no code to enter.
Why is there a limit per customer?
So the allocation reaches actual collectors instead of three carts. Orders above the limit get cancelled and refunded in full. If you run a shop and want to talk volume, contact us rather than stacking orders.
Is there a retail or blaster version?
No. Chrome Black is a hobby-only product — there is no mega, blaster or retail configuration of it anywhere. What's on this page is the only way to buy it sealed.
Only 13 cards a box? Is that a lot for the price?
It's a different kind of product. Every box contains an encased on-card autograph, so you're not paying for hundreds of base cards to find one hit — the hit is the point. Chrome Black is low-count and high-density by design.
When does it ship?
Within one business day of your order, with tracking. Choose free store pickup at checkout and we'll have it waiting at whichever of our 10 locations you pick.
What if I'd rather just chase one team?
Take a spot in the release-night breaks. Four full hobby cases open back to back tonight, and every card your team pulls ships to you. Most spots are gone but a few teams are still open — the board shows what's left in real time. See the board.

When it's gone,
it's gone.

One allocation, no restock. Grab a box while they're still on the shelf, or take a team in tonight's breaks.

Availability is read live from Shopify inventory and refreshes every 45 seconds. Orders exceeding the per-customer limit are cancelled and refunded in full. Sealed product is final sale and is shipped exactly as received from Topps. Product images are supplied by Topps and represent the release, not a guarantee of any specific card. Monmouth Cards is an authorized Topps, Panini and Pokémon retailer. Proudly serving collectors across 10 Monmouth Cards locations. MONMOUTHCARDS.COM
