2011 Topps Chrome, a 220-card parallel brand, was released on September 7, 2011. As with previous years, the set features 170 cards recycled from the [[2011 Topps]] Baseball base set, with 50 rookies -- some of which are autographed. Each Hobby box should yield two rookie autographs. Refractor parallels return, along with the addition of a 100-card Black-bordered Refractor partial parallel.

The usual slew of Refractor parallels return, along with the addition of a 100-card Black-bordered Refractor partial parallel.
