Autographs/Memorabilia: 1
Chrome Autographs (1) – Giorgio Chiellini 

What's Buzz-worthy: This first Chrome UEFA release is stacked with plenty of color in the parallels, a modest number of inserts that can be collected easily (with their parallels offering a challenge) and a stacked autograph lineup that includes more than 40 signers who are found in the base set. There are a number of first-time signers in this one to go with those elite names and then parallels of that ink are all adding to the muscle here -- and it's a box without a premium price. This particular box delivered very well with a Gold Refractor one in 74 packs and a Blue that's roughly every other box. There were a few names among the inserts found in this one along with an autograph of a guy who hasn't had ink in nearly a decade.
