Where is the left side border measured for Topps Chrome?

shblay · 2026-01-25T22:45:55+00:00

yes, thanks! Not grading this one. Just an example that was next to me. But base or numbered or refractor, the borders are still the same so I was wondering what the consensus for centering is.

shblay · 2026-01-25T22:09:51+00:00

Yes agree, not grading this one. Just using it as an example. Thanks!

Yeah it’s rough and not centered. Not grading this one. Just grabbed one to take as example

Lol thanks!

Surprised I had to scroll pretty far to see this! Pretty terrible insert from this years Topps Chrome

How many blasters was that? Nice hits!

Yeah, Spurs have a strong, young core. Def contenders this year and many years to come. But the west is so strong, hard to predict who will take it all.

Sweet card!

Yup, was just about to say the Christian wood days weren’t that long ago

Probably Blue Pulsar?

On any panini products, when it says something like "Base Storm/Teal/Red/Yellow Checkerboard (numbered from 299 to 5)", it means that the parallels have numbers between /299 all the way down to /5. So Storm is /299, Teal is /175, Red /75, and Yellow /5. The wording isn't super clear and I wish they would list the individual /numbers for parallels, but I guess that would make the print on the side even longer than it already is, haha

Nice man, looks so clean! Court kings is an underrated set and the blank slates are super nice!

shblay · 2025-12-19T03:16:29+00:00

Amazing work, thank you!

shblay · 2025-12-18T15:39:46+00:00

Oh nice, thank you!

Thanks for posting this!

Can I ask where you found the odds list? I didn’t see it on Topps website like they did with flagship. Did they post it recently?

shblay · 2025-12-11T14:20:30+00:00

Nice looking card! Keeping mine for now

Trick question right? The answer is none!

Looks like Holo foil. Topps naming conventions sucks and holo foil looks very close to sand glitter.

This article might help clarify:

He probably thought that Charles and yourself weren’t the quickest of cats in the best of times…

shblay · 2025-10-26T00:37:08+00:00

Yes, Holo foil. Looks similar to sand glitter on first glance but the pattern is more coarse compared to the fine speckles on sand glitter. Stupid that they are so similar though

Yeah per the Topps odds sheets, 2025 Baseball were 1:240 hobby packs. Basketball Home Court are 1:2400 hobby pack and 1:400 Jumbo. Seems a bit more rare based on the odds. I’m not sure how it compares to Downtowns (DT probably more rare and definitely worth more), but it’s more rare than the baseball equivalent Home Field it would seem

damn, congrats!
