Found a dealer that had leftover hobby boxes of the chrome series. He was selling them for 40 dollars a box. He also had cases. He was selling them for 450.00 a case. He still has a few more if anyone is still enjoying chrome

Topps seems to be going gung-ho with Chrome releases right now in MLB, GPK, and Star Wars. Will there be any Chrome Wacky love?

Would love to see a Bum Chex superfractor.

I'd go for it, but not like last time!!

I've been framing my extra Wacky Chrome singles in those little picture frames sold at Dollar Tree.

I'd sure like to see a Wacky Packages Chrome Series 2. This time, Topps could do Series 4, 5 and 6, but probably not have to do any subsets, since they've all been done before. However, refractor variations could work here as well.

Seems no one really knows why they did the one release then left it dead in the water. It’s like another Abrams book scenario - like an unfinished painting.

I own 1 Superfractor : Beanball and the full Mixed-Up Character // Altered-Art 9 Card set. I had a blast with Chrome.

I think it was because the chrome process got too expensive at that time. That and maybe poor sales. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.

It would be great if one of the artists who worked on chrome could comment here on the odds of a chrome 2 set.....:)

My dream set at this point would be a Flashback 3, with an emphasis on unrepeated titles from each OS 1-16. No lost Wackys, no poster alternative art, just 4 or 5 titles from each series. Imagine a generous supply of regular sticker format Skimpy, Jail-O, All-Brain, Snatch-A-Pak, just to name a few from the first few series. I’ve probably mentioned this before.

Why would there need to have been any artist work done on Chrome? Wasn't all the art work already done back in the 60s/70s? Am I missing something?

There was some new stuff in the subsets, whether newly created or lost & found I’ve never been completely clear on.

I would think an artist would have been involved to assist with some of the subsets like where are they now.

But the stickers would have to be kiss-cut! I'd pay extra for that!!

There were two subsets of Chrome with kinda-sorta new stuff, Where Are They Now? and Cutting Room Floor.

Yes, absolutely. I’m assuming a marketing similar to the prior flashback and ANS sets, where base stickers are in reasonably priced packs and dupes are easily accumulated, thus expendable/stickable. Not to mention more homemade magnet fun!

I also think this would be ideal (with the kiss-cut stickers). But I'd also be happy with Chrome 2. Both seem like they would be relatively easy for Topps to make, though I certainly am purely speculating on that and saying only in comparison to creating a whole new set (which would also be great). And seeing them at retail would be icing on the cake.

I agree. Some Wackys like, say, Super Cigar Crisp are due for a revival by now. Maybe, just maybe, mind you, they could put in it the last two pulled Die-Cuts that need to be released as peel-and-stick stickers, namely Cracked Animals and Fearstone Tires (and yes, I know the second one of these two was released twice in the two Album series, but those two Wackys were album-sized stickers, not regular-sized ones).

Hoping for Wacky Chrome 2 within the next two years....... I will go ALL IN.
