I picked up my first pack of Topps Chrome last weekend as well. I think they are very nice cards, and as others have mentioned, the lack of curl is welcome.
Here is my one pack - everything is available. I love the Jay Bruce photo, and it looks even more awesome in Chrome. The Mauer is not a refractor, it's the regular Heritage Chrome version #'d to 1962. The Logan Morrison, despite the color of the scan, is PURPLE and is numbered to /499. Pretty cool to get two #'d cards in one pack, right?

I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.
Not bad, but I can't get into a product sold in 4-card packs.
