Description

2020 Topps Chrome Update is a 100-card set released in mid-January, 2021. As with previous iterations of this product, it is an abbreviated chromium-stock rendition of the Topps Update set, and is packaged in seven-pack "Mega Boxes."

Distribution

Mega Boxes: Seven packs per box (MSRP: $19.99), four cards per pack.

Hanger Boxes: 22 cards per box.

Rack Packs: Three, four-card packs, plus one two-card Pink Refractor bonus pack, per pack.

NOTE: Unlike the previous year's product which was exclusive to Target stores, the 2020 edition was distributed to both Target and Walmart stores. The only difference between the two stores is that the Target boxes are white while the boxes sold at Walmart are blue. Both editions contain the same seven packs with the same insertion ratios.

Also, for the first time, Chrome Update was also made available in formats other than the Mega Box.
