How these marks are made. Where one card carries the row, we pin it and name it. Figures are live eBay asking prices, not sold prices — drop the two cheapest listings, median of the next ten, shipping included. Asks sit above solds, so read these as the top of the market. Rows that cover two inserts show one ask for each, taken across every player in that insert. We found no Gold Logoman listings on October 22, so that row has no figure. Asks read Oct 22, 2026.

Chrome's refractor rainbow is the engine that turns a $2 base card into a four-figure chase. Numbering is the whole game — the lower the print run, the harder the card holds. Typical Chrome tiers (confirm exact numbering on the official checklist):
Chrome rips better than flagship: more refractors, more autos, a deeper rainbow, and the year's most liquid rookie cards. But it's still a singles-vs-sealed call — the EV rarely clears the box unless you hit a star rookie auto or a low-numbered refractor. Run your own numbers, and remember pre-order price is not post-release secondary.
Match the format to your goal: rip-and-keep, value, or singles-hunting. Pre-order locks a box; singles let you snipe exactly what you want post-release.
