  • INFORMATION: Chrome Series 4 was delayed for quite some time, and ended up being released nearly two months after CS3. Similar to CS3 there were a number of issues/errors with production (misspelled names, numbering issues, etc.), but in a pleasant turn of events, there was actually an improvement between series. Topps went back to the traditional 'WANTED' poster card backs - and asked Brent Engstrom to draw the new backs
    A total of 12 new cards, featuring six new characters were introduced as "part of" Series 4. Artwork for the cards was done by Brent Engstrom (2), Joe Simko (2), and David Gross (2).
    There are 23 artist autograph cards for this release: 141ab, 148ab, 150ab, 151ab, 152ab, 154ab, 155ab, 156ab, 158abb, AN1ab, AN2ab
