Bought 3 boxes of 2014 Topps Chrome football (Presale) from Blowout and had horrible luck.

All 3 boxes had the same exact rookie cards inside, and only a few different base cards..(The inserts and autographs were different)

As a set collector, this is more than disappointing...

Any ideas what I can do? I've sent an email to Blowout and tried to call Tops (of course no one is in because of the holiday)....

Topps chrome FB release day is like a holiday for me, but this year all I got was a lump of coal...

The Autos were OK (at least 2 of the 3)
Isaiah Crowell (PC!!!)
John Brown
Stephen Morris...

Thanks for letting me vent....ugh


I am looking for signed 1990 ProSet football cards...these are the ones I need....only 2 to go!!

I doubt that they will do anything, that is the risk of buying boxes. That stinks though as you would not expect all the same rookies in three boxes from the same case.

Sweet you got a PC hit Isaiah Crowell (PC!!!), yeah, bummer on set needs and RC's, you never know if case's are broken up before hand. You would think they would have better random system to not have that happen, price per box not getting cheaper either at $77 a box to not get a Great hit between 3 boxes, guess that's the breaks, you hit big, or you dont.

They were all within 6 numbers on the NFL hologram, so I'm assuming from the same case....but it's horrible collation on Topps part to have 3 identical boxes in a case....

Chrome is the only set that I buy multiple boxes of, knowing I'll still need a bunch to fill the set, but just sick to my stomach to have spent that much on 3 pretty much identical boxes....worst case, guess I'll have to make lots of trades here on TCC!!!!

(at least one of the identical rookies is Johnny football)

Go ahead and set them to the side for me tongue.gif I know I will have a bunch of dupes. with the amount of boxes I am breaking, I am sure most of the members will take only hits and rookie or maybe 1 each of the base. I usually end up with several stacks of base that nobody wants smile.gif

I busted a box, shoot me a list of base you are missing, I will see if I have any, and get them to you.


My card collection has been put on hold, I pick up vintage cards from time to time, but overall I collect Music Memorabilia now. I am an avid Custom Print Guitar Pick collector now, so if you have any, let me know.

John Brown isn't horrible, expecting more outta the product however. Always been a big fan of Chrome, however it either seems like you pull a something fantastic or you get dumped on.

Keep your head up and keep breaking!
