Chrome, Sweet, Chrome? 2020 Topps Allen & Ginter Chrome, Stadium Club Chrome Update Baseball on the Way Share:



Topps is adding some new baseball lines in 2020. And it’s apparent that Chrome is a growing trend. Collectors can expect both 2020 Topps Allen & Ginter Chrome and 2020 Stadium Club Chrome Update Baseball later this year.

The announcements came during a session at their annual conference in Arizona.

Stadium Club Chrome Update is due out in November with an autograph per box, Refractors and chrome spins on familiar inserts like Beam Team. Perhaps more notably, it’ll add new cards not available for the main 2020 Stadium Club Baseball release.

2020 Topps Allen & Ginter Chrome will be hobby-only. It joins the regular Allen & Ginter line as well as the online-exclusive Allen & Ginter X.

Not a lot of specifics for either product was announced but should be available soon.

Stadium Club Chrome has been an insert in the regular set for a couple of years now. It was also a standalone release in 2000 as well as inserts in a couple of other releases around the same time frame.

The only time Allen & Ginter has used the Chrome name was in 2008 Topps WWE Heritage III Chrome.

And while they don’t carry the Chrome name, the eTopps program used Allen & Ginter a few times for similarly styled cards.

The chrome expansions aren’t just baseball, either. WWE is getting both Topps Chrome and Finest releases in 2020. The last Topps Chrome WWE set was in 2015. This marks the first Finest wrestling release.

Not all of the product announcements had roots in Chrome stock and Refractors. Topps dropped some news on a couple of Transcendent sets as well.

Bowman Transcendent makes its debut in August, putting a prospect spin on the luxury line.

Also, collectors can expect Bryce Harper to be the featured guest for 2020 Topps Transcendent Baseball. He joins a list of past guests such as Mike Trout, Hank Aaron, Ken Griffey Jr. and Kris Bryant.
