This might be my favorite Topps Chrome design or my favorite NFL player. And to have a gold refractor of Manning is just awesome. Of course, I wish this was a PSA 10. The only downside to this year is the gold refractors are a little flat/dull appearing and don’t have as much shine as some of the other years. Still, happy to have this in the PC.

The 2008 Topps chrome set has the best aesthetics of the run of Topps chrome. While all gold factors are not created equal, I really love the set. This one lacks the shine compared to some of the Prizm golds and Finest golds. But still, it’s my favorite football player of all time! I was hoping for a PSA 10 I’m still pretty happy with this as part of my collection.

This is one of the “lower tier“gold refractors. Still, this 2003 Topps draft gold refractor of Peyton Manning looks fantastic. I had two of them, and I was hoping for a PSA 10 out of one. As as my luck, I wasn’t so lucky. This is the highest of the grades. But I’m still happy to have it as part of my collection. This one might end in the trade pile at some point as I consolidate a little.

Marvin Harrison Jr. might be a good wide receiver, but I don’t think he’ll ever be as good as his dad. Granted, that is a long shadow to overcome. Additionally, Marvin Harrison, Sr. had Peyton Manning throwing him the ball. This is a beautiful example of a Topps Finest gold refractor from 2000. Graded a PSA 10 gem mint - his one really has a lot of shine in-hand.
