I think something that the baseball card community needs to do is just stop purchasing boxes/packs from secondary. Prices are through the roof for things that don’t guarantee something great I know it’s for the fun but it’s almost not fun paying this much. We all stick to buying singles and it’s not to but you or others out of business it’s to lower prices it’s insane imo
The only way to course correct would be for Topps to flood the market with cards. Making sure that there’s enough cards for the average buyer to obtain. This would kill the secondary market of allowing these large shops to buy up all of the stock and reselling them. I buy A LOT of sneakers and this is what Nike did to stop resellers from manipulating the market which was hurting Nike and the customer. A lot of other brands became popular as people needed an alternative to buying sneakers that weren’t being bought up by resellers who were then doubling and tripling the price. Nike increased their supply and now whoever wants it buys it from them and not the reseller.
In last year's packs you could turn the pack over and spot which ones had the sticker card with the 4 players on it. The sticker cards were upside down and you could see the white of the sticker contrasting against the backs of the other cards in the pack. You could also spot the blue sticker cards this way. Not sure about what else.
Wow, awesome rip Jabs! Thank you for showing these. I watched that Jon goof open a blaster. He can't get names right and thinks everything is a valuable ssp. Total joke
Anyone know what the code is for the image variations? I got two Nolan Schaunal's in a box with different codes and the only difference I notice is the back of the card is slightly different. Does anyone know what I should be looking for? Thx
Asked this before. But I can't remember which video. Is there a cutoff, during the month, to sign up for one of your Patreon boxes; in order to get a box that current month? If I sign up Jan 22nd; will it start in Jan or on Feb?
Went to my LCS today. They had hobby boxes for $140. Considering what others are asking, nice price. Got shorted an auto. Worse than that, the auto I pulled was Ke'Bryan. I have so many of his autos I have run out of people to give them to. Did pull every major base rookie.
Hey Jabs you probably won’t care to know this but went to a card show and picked up some T206 and some slabs I don’t have a big collection but I think the 206 would be a start
Nice cards. I like the yellow foils as well but there’s no way we should be paying $10 per fat pack…it’s retail. Never. If you bought a case, each pack would be around $7.40 ea…still too high. I’d pay $2 max at a flee market for those in about 10 years. Ok, this negative Nancy is done complaining. Thanks for another great video Erik!
At least the fan favorite autos are of decent players this year. In 2022 I opened 4 hobbies and 4 blaster and out of 10 autos, 4 of them were Brandon Webb. 🙄🙄

It is like crack to some people. They can't help themselves.
I can’t find a comp on the Aaron Judge yellow foil card. What do you think it’s worth? Thanks for the rip.
I agree secondary prices for boxes and packs are ridiculous I stick to buying single cards it’s fun opening packs and boxes but not for these prices
Only way to buy singles is somebody has to buy the packs and open them.
Hey Jabs. Thanks for keeping things simple. I have stopped watching others because of their nonsense. Your true and i am glad to see your content.
Archive looks fantastic this year. Hopefully I can find some out in the wild.
Topps produces too many products.

Found some fat packs at Target yesterday and pulled a yellow foil Skenes

Got a Lawrence Butler Lay down the law Western case hit RC on card autograph!!!!! Bought 2 blasters at Walmart
I've been collecting Lawrence Butler, he's gonna be big! He kind of already is big, honestly! That's a heck of a hit!
these were a lot better than expected.
You can’t take a dollar to the store and get a few packs anymore. Heck, $10 will barely get you 1 pack, unless you’re shopping at dollar tree.
Pirates cards with that yellow foil finish 😮💨😮💨😮💨
Very cool Green green auto!
I don't see how Blowout Cards is a good reference for "the secondary matket" they had jacked up the price day of release.
More like BlowUP cards. They're literally scalping stuff they get for wholesale.
Archives is a great product, No matter the configuration.
Nice product but overpriced. Would like to see more cards per fat pack or lower price
Love that yoshinobu Yamato red and Shawn green autograph
Jabs you shouldn't do lives if you block people for no reason.
Just shows that the people in your group have no class.
Yeah, I like the yellow too. Maybe a little bit more than the blacks.
Hey Jabs you probably won’t care to know this but went to a card show and picked up some T206 and some slabs I don’t have a big collection but I think the 206 would be a start
Hi Jabs. Definitely want to have fat packs instead of a blaster in the monthly
You can request that on your Patreon! I’ll post it soon!
They've been available at Target all week.
I think Mac from Ita always sunny would disagree about Chase Utley
