Stuff Joe Collector Likes: #1 Chrome

There is no doubt that Joe Collector loves chromium stock trading cards -- especially those that are virtually identical to other trading cards. Yes, it’s true that Joe isn't the only one who gets easily distracted by bright, shiny, objects. But I promise you that the first person who ripped open a pack of 1996 Topps Chrome (and actually liked it) was Joe. You could kind of tell he didn’t enjoy it, but year after year, he kept ripping boxes of Topps Chrome until he learned to liked it.

Joe needs to bust wax like Topps Chrome and Bowman Chrome. Hell, he'll even find a box of garbage like 1998 Topps Super Chrome on eBay and rip that. He's also fond of saying “Why does Topps even make regular Bowman anymore?” Joe will also collect anything that resembles Chrome: 1998 Donruss Collections, 2000 Stadium Club Chrome, 2006 Upper Deck Special F/X, and of course, post-2002 Finest. (It's got "AUTOGRAPH MOJO!!!!!!!")

If you want to go for extra points - Joe really loves Chrome REFRACTORS, because paying ten times more for what is essentially the same card, means he's a better card collector than you.
