Topps Chrome UEFA Champions League Print Runs
We all know that Topps has greatly increased the print runs in soccer the last few years. Do you realize just how much they have increased? Here is the print run breakdown for every year of Topps Chrome UEFA Champions League. With this breakdown you can make better informed decisions on what boxes and card variations you want to invest in.
I picked some of the bigger rookies in each box. I was hesitant to do this as they are not all true rookies. I specifically called them rookie cards as some have earlier year stickers. Some may also have smaller brand cards that most of the hobby does not find collectable.
