Box Break - 2010 Topps Chrome

What was I just saying about wishing I could find different discounted product locally at retail?  I stopped by Walmart this evening to buy a bubble mailer for a book I sold online and I made the obligatory stop by the card aisle before hitting the checkout lane.  What?  2010 Topps Chrome blasters for 12 bucks?!  Sold.

I happy to report that the cards still come out curved just like they did when the product was new last year!  Seriously though 8 packs of Topps Chrome for 12 bucks ain't a bad deal in my book.  I didn't score a Jason Heyward RC or any autographs, but I did hit several Refractors and I always love pulling those.  Let's take a look at the shiny goodness that was hiding inside.

From top to bottom, left to right:

#217 Hisanori Takahashi RC Refractor

#131 Michael Bourn Refractor

#048 Justin Upton Refractor

#107 Edinson Volquez Xfractor

#088 Scott Kazmir Xfractor

#103 Jose Lopez Purple Refractor (235/599)

#CC15 Michael Young National Chicle Chrome (808/999)

The rest of the box had the run of the mill RCs and veterans.  If you're looking for any thing particular let me know.  Overall it was a fun box to open and I may go back for another as there were several this evening.

2010 Topps Chrome Refractor Variation Pack (Wrapper Redemption)

I was surprised to see a odd bubble mailer in yesterday's mail as I couldn't figure out who it was from.  To be completely honest I forgot that I mailed in the 25 hobby wrappers for 2010 Topps Chrome that I won in a raffle from GA Mindset last month.  I have no desire to keep any of these cards.  I'd like to flip them for the Jason Heyward refractor variation if anyone has it.  I'd trade all 3 for it in fact.  Otherwise I'm open to offers.
