Description
Released exclusively to retail outlets in special "Mega Boxes" on October 23, 2013, Topps Chrome Update is a 55-card partial parallel of the 2013 Topps Update base set. Each Mega Box contained five packs of 2013 Topps Update and two packs of Chrome Update and retailed for $14.99.
NOTE: Chrome Update packs were distributed EXCLUSIVELY in the retail Mega Boxes.
Using extrapolation, 137,500 Chrome Update packs and a little less than 10,000 copies of each Chrome Update base card were produced.
Distribution

- Five packs of 2013 Topps Update, 8 cards per pack

Autographs & Game-Used
Both All-Star Stitches Relic sets are Chrome parallels of the respective cards released in 2013 Topps Chrome. While these cards are printed on chromium stock, scanned images of the Chrome cards do not make this obvious. Leading to more potential confusion is the fact that Topps did not use the familiar "Topps Chrome" oval logo on the front of the card.
