2021 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary finds

I stumbled upon a table with monster boxes of assorted cards and I started digging through the baseball portion because I started to find cards from the 2021 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary set - reading up, the product might have just been released [despite being dated to 2021] as a 700-card set with active and retired players, using the 1952 Topps design.

I tried grabbing all the better players as much as I could [notably any retired legends / Hall of Famers and/or even a few non-HOF fan favorites] - while trying to leave the cards of some of the 'iffier' players in my book.

It might not be a coup, but ending up with just a little over 70 cards from this newish set has me feeling like I really did something - where I can use the fresh cards for binder material, even if it's the basic cards as opposed to parallels.

I'd created a Top 15 list of random cards to pick up as a fun, scavenger hunt deal of sorts - I'd basically forgotten about the list created back in September, but ended up going back to it and at the very least, trying to knock off some cards.

The Zernial card caught my eye mainly because of the six baseballs affixed to his bat - he hit 6 home runs in 3 consecutive games in 1951 and another just after the original image was taken.
