Topps' silver-pack fix to the missing rookie short-prints in 2022 Topps Chrome are now live with the five missing players slowly arriving from these packs in Refractor form.

Breakers started receiving the packs yesterday as noted on the forum -- one for every box purchased -- from Topps. Blowout Cards customers' packs will ship no later than this Tuesday after they arrived here today. Tracking will be emailed the day that silver-pack shipments are processed.

The cards that were inadvertently not put into packs by its printing/packing company are card Nos. 221-225 -- short-printed cards of rookies Bobby Witt Jr., Julio Rodriguez, Spencer Torkelson, Hunter Greene and C.J. Abrams. The silver packs will include these cards inserted randomly with others. These rare cards were late additions to the checklist as SPs but didn't get put into hobby packs.

Topps revealed on Monday night that it will be producing silver packs with shots at missing short-printed rookies from 2022 Topps Chrome.

Blowout Cards announced this morning its plan for fulfillment of those packs to its customers -- one silver pack for every box purchased.

The short print parallel issue affecting 2022 Topps Chrome Baseball Hobby & Jumbo SKUs is unfortunate, but we are pleased that @Topps acted quickly with a response.

Blowout Cards will ship Topps Chrome Silver Packs to customers as soon as they arrive at our shipping facility.

Additional details to follow as information is made available to us. Follow @BlowoutBuzz for additional details.

We will be shipping packs to all of those who ordered and continue to order @Topps 2022 chrome baseball from Blowoutcards.com. Not an ideal situation but the right thing to do for our customers. As soon as we get the packs we will begin to process shipments.

The cards that were inadvertently not put into packs by its printing/packing company are card Nos. 221-225 -- short-printed cards of rookies Bobby Witt Jr., Julio Rodriguez, Spencer Torkelson, Hunter Greene and C.J. Abrams. The silver packs will include these cards inserted randomly with others. These rare cards were late additions to the checklist as SPs but didn't get put into hobby packs. No details were provided on retail in its statement revealed on Monday night.

Update (Sept. 22): Below is Topps' newest statement in full.

Topps' highest priority is our customers, and we want to provide you all with an update regarding the 2022 Topps Chrome Baseball product. After discussions with our manufacturer, we understand that the planned bonus short print variations of five rookie subjects were incorrectly not included in the collation of select product SKUs. As the short-print variations were originally not part of the set and later added for an additional chase element, there was unfortunately a technical miscommunication about the product mix in the production process.

This issue does not pertain to all 2022 Topps Chrome Baseball products. The short-print rookie variations were included in the Hobby Lite product available only on Topps.com, and the Sonic and Logofractor Edition products, which will both be available at a later date.

For those who purchased the Hobby or Hobby Jumbo products that did not contain the short print rookie variations, Topps is providing 1 additional 4-card silver pack for each 2022 Topps Chrome Hobby and Hobby Jumbo Baseball box purchased through Topps.com, hobby shops or breakers that purchased directly from us. Topps has updated these additional silver packs to include four cards, and the short-print variations will be randomly inserted in these packs. Additional cards may include a mix of 2022 Chrome Baseball base cards, along with inserts and other surprises.

Topps is working directly with every distribution channel of the product to ensure these packs are properly distributed through the original sellers, with shipments starting on Sept. 30, 2022. For eligible customers, here is how you can obtain the silver pack(s):

Topps.com Customers
Topps will be shipping the silver packs directly to customers who purchased product on Topps.com. Topps.com customers do not need to take any further action and they will receive one silver pack per 2022 Topps Chrome Baseball hobby box purchased. Topps Chrome Lite is EXCLUDED from the silver pack program as the short-prints were properly inserted into this product. Value box purchases on Topps.com are not eligible for the silver packs, but are eligible for the retail drawing referenced below.

Local Card Shop / Breaker Customers
If you purchased your 2022 Topps Chrome Baseball hobby/jumbo box through your local card shop or through a break, please reach out to them directly to receive your silver pack. Topps is working closely with our stores and distributors to provide silver packs and confirm that customers receive one silver pack per 2022 Topps Chrome Baseball hobby box purchased. Topps fully expects its hobby partners to distribute silver packs to customers that may have purchased product at local trading card shows and/or through online platforms such as eBay.

In addition to the above mentioned additional four-card silver pack for each 2022 Topps Chrome Hobby and Hobby Jumbo Baseball box purchased through Topps.com, hobby shops or breakers that purchased directly from us, big-box retail customers who purchased the Value Box and/or Monster Box products of 2022 Topps Chrome Baseball will be eligible for a drawing to receive the short print variations. Please visit chromeretailvariants for more details.

Our customers are and continue to be the main focus in everything we do. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we’ve worked to remedy this situation as best we can for customers. If you have any additional questions or issues related to 2022 Topps Chrome Baseball, please reach out to support@topps.com.
