2021 Topps Chrome Black Baseball Checklist

2021 Topps Chrome Black, released December 8, 2021, is a compact release: a 100-card base set and two autograph sets, with no standard inserts. Every base parallel is numbered, from Refractor /199 down to SuperFractor /1, and the 122-card Chrome Black Autographs set accounts for most of the checklist.

What's in the checklist

• Base: 100 cards with Refractor /199, Purple /150, Green and Green Atomic /99, Blue /75, Gold /50, Orange /25, Magenta /10, Red /5 and SuperFractor /1
• Chrome Black Autographs: 122 signers with Refractor /150, Green /99, Gold /50, Orange /25, Red /5 and SuperFractor /1
• Super Futures Autographs: 21 young players with Gold /50, Orange /25, Red /5 and SuperFractor /1

Key players

The base set mixes 2021 rookies such as Andrew Vaughn, Ryan Mountcastle, Casey Mize, Triston McKenzie and Jo Adell with veterans Gerrit Cole, Max Scherzer and Paul Goldschmidt. Chrome Black Autographs include Aaron Judge, Hall of Famer Adrian Beltre, Andruw Jones and Byron Buxton, and Super Futures features Juan Soto, Ke'Bryan Hayes, Dylan Carlson and Jake Cronenworth.

Grading considerations

Aaron Judge and Juan Soto autographs and low-numbered Magenta and Red refractors are among the cards collectors commonly consider for grading. The black borders show edge and corner wear quickly, and refractor surfaces show scratches. See our grading scale.
