For last year’s chrome, it took a long time for the top red refractor auto pulls to be posted, with Cam Newton taking a few months. Crazy enough, both RGIII and Luck’s first red refractor auto /5 have already hit ebay. They are attracting more watchers than any other cards on eBay, and that should be no surprise.

2012 Topps Chrome Robert Griffin III Red Refractor Auto /5
For good measure, RGIII also has a gold that has been posted:
2012 Topps Chrome Robert Griffin III Gold Refractor Auto /10
After looking at these prices, I can only imagine what the superfractors are going to sell for. Sam Bradford sold for 12K, that was later determined to not be a legit sale. The Luck and RGIII supers might end up coming close to that. Topps Chrome is going nuts and I love every minute of it.
The red refractors are by far my favorite chrome cards every year. In fact, it took me close to two years to find a Peterson red refractor in 2007, even though they were numbered that much higher than they are today. When Topps included autographs numbered to 5 last year, I JUMPED all over the players I was collecting. The red border is almost iconic on its own, and usually looks amazing with whatever subject is on the card. Obviously, I dont have the kind of cash to buy any of the big names this year, but if I did, I would be first in line.
Keep it up man. Love the blog and especially the focus on Topps. (My fav brand) I’ve got two boxes in the mail as I type this and all your updates do is build my excitement. Thanks.
Here’s a link to Blowout with my Chrome case.
I’m ecstatic about the last card and felt that I got great value for $840.

Guess u didnt see my huge argument with topps on twitter for them back dooring tons of chrome. Red auto sets, gold auto sets and over 50 base auto sets
Its crazy that the red Luck is selling for more than this card…

I dont really like the look of that card, to be honest. Many more Paytons look A TON better than that one. But yes, I see your point. Might not be saying that years from now, however.
