2004 Topps Chrome

Description

2004 Topps Chrome is a 466-card set released in two series. The 233 card first series was released in January, 2004 with a matching second series of 233 cards was released in May, 2004. A new addition to the set are Autographed First Year Player cards. The last 13 cards in Series One and the first 13 in Series Two (cards #221-#246) all came autographed. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your view), there are no notable autographed rookies in the product -- although there is a non-autographed rookie of Yadier Molina in Series One.
