2013 Topps Mega Box recaps

These were $14.98 each at Walmart - I lured myself into buying a couple of boxes, not knowing what could be in the Chrome packs and hoping for the best.

I guess it's nice to rip something - when I feel like I'd rather cut back much of the time.

Hello, I am working on the Update Chrome set. I could use the Wilson, Peavy, Rivera and Arcia if you'd like to trade.

I have about 1/3 of the U. Chrome available as extras, or all sorts of Series 1/2/Update cards and inserts I could trade with.
