Kris Bryant SP RC alert.
I purchased one value box (a.k.a. blaster box) of 2015 Topps Chrome Baseball for $16.74 thanks to the $3 coupon that I acquired from my 2015 Topps Series 2 Baseball retail value box.
That box includes 7 standard 4 card packs, and 1 bonus pack that contains 4 Sepia Refractors.
