The 2023 Topps Chrome Update Baseball Variations are focused primarily on rookies. That said, some veterans who went to new teams for 2023 also make the cut.

Like the similar SSP cards found in 2023 Topps Chrome Baseball, variations in Chrome Update are all variations. That’s the first step in figuring them out.

While they all use different photos, there’s a quick way to spot the rookies. Base cards (and Refractors) for those first-year players featured on the variations checklist are all part of the Rookie Debut subset, which is noted on card fronts. The SSPs do not. Instead, they go with the standard design.

The photos themselves are mostly more casual with things like warm ups, celebrations and sideline happenings.

Beside the standard Refractor versions, variations have five levels of parallels:

  • Green Speckle Refractors – /99
  • Gold Speckle Refractors – /50
  • Orange Speckle Refractors – /25
  • Red Speckle Refractors – /5
  • Superfractors – 1/1

As far as rarity goes, the odds of finding one is 1:438 hobby, 1:167 hobby jumbo, 1:11 hobby breaker and 1:535 blaster packs.

2023 Topps Chrome Update Baseball Variations Codes

If you’re a fan of the CMP Code method of confirming variations, it works here. Flip the cards over and go to the code at the end of the fine print on the bottom. Base cards and Refractors use one code while variations another. Here’s are the final three digits required to tell them apart:

  • Base – 119
  • Variation – 864
