Random Wax: 2020 Topps WWE Chrome

 2020 Chrome WWE:  I'm not a shiny card guy but this is a design I like.  The backgrounds are a big part of that.  They aren't just a big silver background but have depth and color.  There's a look there.  We'll kick off this pack with my favorite wrestler, Alexa Bliss.  She's fun, kicks @ss, and has some great cards.
Pretty cool Brock Lesnar card.  Pretty sure he was about to kick someone's butt.
Wrestling cards lend themselves to good photography and there are plenty in this set.
I think this is a great photo of Asuka.
Love that disgusted look on Shayna's face.
This photo almost doesn't look like it is from an actual match but of course it is.
Fun pack of cards.  Good design and photos.  Kane!  Kane was a part of one WWE's Most Wanted Treasures episodes which was really fun to watch.  Well worth it as are the other episodes as well.


BREAKDOWN:
12 – Total Cards
1 – Shocking Wins

2020 Topps WWE Chrome

2020 Topps WWE Chrome: Snagged a couple of packs of these with this being the first.  I'm not a Chrome or shiny card guy in general but I do like the look and design of these cards.  It's really very simple and they look sharp in hand.  This WWE great starts us off.  Not a guy I've followed per se but he's been a big part of the wrestling world with his success.
You'll get wrestlers from across the WWE platforms.  I'm familiar with Sasha Banks but Roderick is not someone I know yet.  Again a nice look and I like the Banks photo.
We get to go vertical with this card.  Really cool photo and you get to see the background a little better in this picture.  Hard to tell but that honeycomb background doesn't dominate the background but augments it.  You still get to see the rest of background when looking at the cards in hand.
The Fantasy Matches cards showcase matches we want to see.  These two actually wrestled while coming up through the low tiers of wrestling but never in the WWE.  The backs are fine but nothing spectacular.  
A nice action photo here.  The two packs I purchased equaled the price of a blaster so I'd probably go that route.  A blaster also has more cards than the two packs I purchased and they have three X-Fractor parallels.
I'm pretty happy with these cards.  My favorite from the pack has to be the Kerry Von Erich WWE Legend insert below.  The price point will probably keep me from buying more but I'm glad I grabbed these when I had the chance.
