2016 Topps Chrome Blake Snell #86 Rookie Card

Chrome RC of the most volatile ace in baseball. Snell won the 2018 AL Cy Young with the Rays, then the 2023 NL Cy Young with the Padres. Signed a massive $182M deal with the Dodgers and won the 2024 World Series. Feast or famine — but when he feasts, nobody is better.
