Topps Chrome Black is back for 2025—and it’s bringing more heat than ever. Collectors who cracked last year’s product will immediately notice a shift: more packs, more cards, and more chances to score a monster pull. In 2024, each hobby box included one encased autograph and a single four-card pack. This time around, Topps has changed the formula, packing each box with two six-card packs, while still including the fan-favorite encased autograph. That brings the total to 13 cards per box.

So what can you expect when you tear into one? One guaranteed autograph, two refractor parallels, and plenty of colorful surprises.
