2015 Topps Chrome Clayton Kershaw Purple Refractor (220/250)
Another purple chrome card but this time its of Kershaw but just like Trout I expect it to gem.
The reason this one gets a higher billing is that under the loop the corners look extra sharp. Even more so than the Trout version. So nice that this might be a candidate for a pristine 10 but I'll try not to get ahead of myself.
As expected this indeed earn a gem mint 9.5 and even had one sub grade that came back as a 10 but it was not close to earning an overall 10 as I had hoped in my preview paragraph.
Purple is king but what is a king without his gold? Well the king of baseball pitchers now has another gold banner for my collection and I just love the color combination and can't wait to hunt down more purple cards of the players I collect. This year adds another to that list as this will be the 1st year that Corey Seager will be in Topps Chrome.
Thank you for reading and have a blessed day.

I need to pick up some of his Topps Chrome. Nice looking card for sure! I know a lot of collectors aren't into purple, but I happen to think it looks great, especially with that gold banner.
ReplyDeletePurple is growing on me but it will never pass my love for black and blue chromes. But I do like this color better than gold even though it has a higher print run.
