I know, 2012 was the best football year of all time. Everyone was skeptical of the 2013 rookie crop, and greatly reduced their orders of 2013 Topps Chrome. As a result of the reduced orders, this year's production of Topps Chrome is greatly reduced from 2012. Topps Chrome Football has continued its winning formula and we have several rookies who are having great years (Tavon Austin is the latest "break-out rookie.").Boxes of 2013 Topps Chrome Football are starting at $69.95 at Sports Cards Plus!
