Topps Mini Chrome NFL
24 packs - 4 cards per pack
One rookie card per pack and one mini chrome auto per box
I received these:
85 base cards - 38.6% of the base 220 set -- NO DUPES!!
Mini Chrome has the same design as it's big brother. There is however a bit of 'chrome curl' in the mini's -- just a little bit not much. One should be able to complete a base set with about 4 boxes and the chase could be fun. Mini Chrome is a good issue for the player collector and rookie collector - the master set builder - not so much.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The die cut is my favorite insert in the box that I received... hard to tell if it is a refractor - I think it is. For some reason, Topps has quit putting the word refractor on refractor cards. My suggestion is that if you think you have one, put it in a card sleeve so that it does not get mixed with the regular cards.
The Cammo refractor set might be a cool set to build and would certainly be one of very few ever completed.
Overall grade B+ not real sure how many of us out there that collect minis.
Go buy several boxes and see what inserts you find.
