About this release

Research note

Chrome Update is about the photographs first: rookies in NBA game action, veterans in current Statement, City, and Classic Edition uniforms, and a 200-card checklist that captures the season after flagship Chrome. Refractor and Gold provide the familiar reference points; format patterns, inserts, and debut patches need their own comps.
