2014 Topps Chrome Purple Refractor #46 Gerrit Cole PSA 9 - An Ace Colorful Chrome with Only 1 Graded Higher

By 2014, Gerrit Cole was emerging as the ace Pittsburgh hoped for when they drafted him first overall in 2011. With a blazing fastball, sharp command, and poise beyond his years, Cole was already showing flashes of the dominant pitcher he would become. This Purple Refractor parallel from the 2014 Topps Chrome series captures him at the beginning of that ascent, before his transition to Houston and eventually New York, where he’d become one of the most feared strikeout artists in the game.

Graded PSA 9, this vibrant, high-grade parallel features strong centering, clean chrome surface, and brilliant purple refractor finish that gives the card serious eye appeal. The 2014 Chrome set is known for its sleek, modern design, and refractor parallels like this one have become staples for collectors chasing early-career cards of future aces. With Cole’s career continuing to build Hall of Fame credentials, his early refractors are only gaining in relevance.
