2020 Topps Sapphire Chrome Update
Description
2020 Topps Sapphire Chrome Update was released January 27th, 2021 -- with members of Topps' 582 Montgomery Club getting access a day earlier. Unlike the Topps Chrome Update set, the Sapphire Chrome edition is a full parallel of the 300-card 2020 Topps Update set. Each eight-pack box will yield one Refractor parallel serial-numbered to 45 copies or fewer and one autograph.
This was the first Sapphire Chrome set to be made available at retail with a limited number of boxes available at Target stores and target.com. In addition, a limited number of boxes were also distributed to Hobby stores.
Distribution
Eight packs per box, four cards per pack (MSRP: $150)

Checklist
Base Set
Parallels
All 300 base cards are also available in the following parallels.
- Green Refractor (serial-numbered to 45 copies)
- Orange Refractor (serial-numbered to 25 copies)
- Purple Refractor (serial-numbered to ten)
- Red Refractor (serial-numbered to five)
- SuperFractor (one-of-one)
Padparadascha
2020 Topps Sapphire Chrome Update has two different one-of-one parallels: SuperFractor and Padparadascha. Based on the stated insertion ratios for each set, it is impossible that Padparadascha's exist for all 300 cards. We believe that only 130 base cards have a Padparadasha.
Autographs
Each Autograph is also available in the following parallels.
- Green Refractor (serial-numbered to 50 copies)
- Orange Refractor (serial-numbered to 25 copies)
- Purple Refractor (serial-numbered to ten)
- Red Refractor (serial-numbered to five)
- SuperFractor (one-of-one)
