2005 Topps Chrome Updates & Highlights

From BaseballCardPedia.com

Description

2005 Topps Chrome Update & Highlights is a 237-card set released in January, 2006. This was the first time since 2000 that the Topps Chrome Traded/Update had its own distinct release -- as opposed to being bundled with another set -- and the only time it was issued in pack form. The last 17 cards in the base set are autographed, and each Hobby box will yield two autographs.

Distribution

Hobby: Two, 10-pack, miniboxes plus one box topper per box, four cards per pack (MSRP: $3). Eight boxes per case.

Retail: 24 packs per box, four cards per pack (MSRP: $3). 20 boxes per case.
