2021 Topps Chrome Platinum Baseball Hobby Lite Box

Description

2021 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary Baseball honors the long-running baseball card company with a brand-new chromium release.

Formats include Hobby, with one autograph per box, and Hobby Lite, which offers four exclusive parallels in each box. There are also Mega Boxes featuring four exclusive parallels.

Of course, this comes in addition to the annual 2021 Topps Chrome Baseball product.

2021 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary Baseball Base / Parallels

Boasting a massive 700-card checklist, 2021 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary Baseball uses the classic 1952 Topps Design enhanced with Chrome technology.

However, the parallel lineup was greatly reduced compared to what was originally solicited. While 33 parallels were initially announced, the Hobby and Hobby Lite odds only indicate a total of 14 parallels.

Hobby boxes offer a few exclusives and the Hobby Lite format is the only place to find Black & White Mini-Diamond (1:4 packs) parallels. There are also three exclusive Prism Refractors in Mega Boxes.

Topps later confirmed that this parallel reduction was due to supply chain issues.

Joining the extensive base lineup, 2021 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary Baseball also features Autograph cards.

These utilize a much smaller rainbow parallel, including exclusive Blue Prism Refractor (#/99) and Orange Refractor (#/25) parallels in Hobby, and exclusive Pink Refractor (#/15) parallels in Hobby Lite.
