You’d need to average around $350 a card to break even. That’s tough. Especially with how many products a majority of these guys sign for each year. Love the product but at the price point it’s a no from me, dawg.
I use to love it when Phil Hughes broke these cases almost weekly it seemed like....he pulled so many product hits it was unreal...it's one of few products I think panini got right with the players selected and quality control
How did i miss this break on ur stream??? It was mostly wen i left... Great case... Love the card designs... Nothing to over the top ( u know with a bunch of colors and glitter everywhere... And they weren't underwhelming either... I find them to be right in the middle... Very elegant... Geat product 👍👍👍
My guess is in the future cut autos will probably just be sticker autos. Pretty sure they send the superstars of today a box of stickers to sign and return each year for the product and then don’t end up using them all and just stock up on sticker signatures. Then when they’re gone they’ll be able to just use them as “cuts” at a premium.
some of these cards look sharp, but others like that Larkin and Sandberg look sooo bad with the solid blacked out left side. Feels like they could’ve been more creative with some of the designs
I shared your vid RGL. All my cousins are sports nerds too. Nothing close to the Topps my family collected from mid sixties to early 80's. Then we all got married. Lol😂❤.
I’ve seen like 6-8 of these open and it seems like the same guys in everyone. Sandburg has been in 4-5 of them. Nolan in like 3-4. Tatis in like 4. Cal Ripken Jr in 5.
I hate to say this, but Panini just does so much better with high end products. These cards just don't feel nearly as collectible as a Flawless or National Treasures.
Not at all. National treasures have sticker autos. I think both also will use relics that aren't even player worn. At least diamond icons only have top rookies, vets and HOFers. All player worn relics. You'll definitely get more valuable from this than panini high end products.
U must be kidding I'm not a baseball fan at all (but I do love watching me some highlights) n just about ever box that I've seen open of this product I can name u every player past or present... And the ROI compared to Panini??? Don't get me started... Buy hey my friend that's ur opinion n ur entitled to...
Barry Larkin come on he is not a real hall of famer. Here is a lesson I bought 3 Troy Glaus rookies psa 10. Would you buy them now no. You would have bought this then. I also bought a psa 1 goudy Ruth would you buy that YES.
Way too many high end products. Soon it will end. People will smarten up with losing money on 90 + percent of boxes. Wait for it to drop. $ 500 and up boxes should be $200 or less. Doing my sets after being out a few months like 2023 Topps blaster $15 or lower etc.
I agree that the twins are thin but in my opinion they do have a few better options.

thank You so much for sharing!! you´re the very few youtubers i still watch with regularity!! keep em coming!
$3500 a box!! That's pooping in high cotton!!

Where did Phil go? It's been so long since he made new content.
Hi James,
A superlative rip of Diamond Icons! Thanks very much for giving us this video.
Best Wishes,
Peter

Those players in the 80s 90s have such great penmanship!!! Rivera is one of my favorite looking Autos.
I love this set, little out of my price range but I pick singles all the time
Look at the fancy-pants over here, being able to afford the singles. : )
The gwynn is awesome. Padres woulda been so nice to have for this break lol. A cut auto of gwynn would be nuts

Man those are such beautiful cards. Crazy
Still love watching RGL rip these products though. That squirrel dancing because that RAJ hit was nuts. 🔥
I seriously don’t think that product should be worth that much
WILL Clark jersey Numbered. He was my favorite player growing up.
Awesome break. Great looking cards.
very cool product! Bobby Witts signature is so cool
nice acuna. i like the gwynn as well.
Gotta love a big dollar break
some of these cards look sharp, but others like that Larkin and Sandberg look sooo bad with the solid blacked out left side. Feels like they could’ve been more creative with some of the designs
Do the Tampa Bay Rays have anyone in this product?
Been dying to watch this!
I shared your vid RGL. All my cousins are sports nerds too. Nothing close to the Topps my family collected from mid sixties to early 80's. Then we all got married. Lol😂❤.
I love that you can afford this for me to enjoy visually 😂
The cards look amazing for 3200 tho its crazy how none even come close to making back same thing unless rheres big cut auto
There's a Hani A&G RC IPA on ebay
These cards rock
I’m only buying that if Michael Rubin hand picks my box
I better get a shohei 1/1 for that price.
I’ve seen like 6-8 of these open and it seems like the same guys in everyone. Sandburg has been in 4-5 of them. Nolan in like 3-4. Tatis in like 4. Cal Ripken Jr in 5.
What's wrong with seeing these guys in everyone? I'm all in if that's the case.
@@floridamaddogg How many of those guys card with 3.5k?
I would have been shocked had you ripped this for yourself. I know that people do but its hard to get your value back.
I don't have the stones to rip something that expensive.
RGL Degen rip a personal right now. I bet you get a 1/1...👀
What’s up RGL
This set honestly doesn’t look good aside from the crazy price. I’d take museum collection over this.
"It did not have like a major 500 dollar plus hit, but it had tons of 1 touches..."
So about half your money back lol
50% ROI without a product hit or monster card is sadly above average in this hobby landscape.
@@RunGoodLife Agreed. Criticizing the hobby, not you.
Ouch, glad I didn’t “invest”…lol
I really think Definitive looks sooooo much better, at a cheaper price, with better patches, and simply cooler cards IMO, never a fan of gem cards
The autos are top names you want but the design on these is not gooood
I hate to say this, but Panini just does so much better with high end products. These cards just don't feel nearly as collectible as a Flawless or National Treasures.
If your referring to Panini baseball what sinks that ship is collectors turning away from products partially licensed or not licensed at all
No
Not at all. National treasures have sticker autos. I think both also will use relics that aren't even player worn. At least diamond icons only have top rookies, vets and HOFers. All player worn relics. You'll definitely get more valuable from this than panini high end products.

yeah ngl this product look too goofy to be priced that high
Go Big RGL 💯👍😎
Damn crazy I scrolled quarter video and before one video 5 adds
BUY PREMIUM OR QUIT GRIPING. omg an ad. like bro, you new to youtube or something?
Barry Larkin come on he is not a real hall of famer. Here is a lesson I bought 3 Troy Glaus rookies psa 10. Would you buy them now no. You would have bought this then. I also bought a psa 1 goudy Ruth would you buy that YES.
Very mediocre product for the price point imo
Way too many high end products. Soon it will end. People will smarten up with losing money on 90 + percent of boxes. Wait for it to drop. $ 500 and up boxes should be $200 or less. Doing my sets after being out a few months like 2023 Topps blaster $15 or lower etc.
This is gambling not collecting the only winner is topps.
Just garbage paid to much for nothing 7 grand for 2500 in cards at best wow. Topps should be ashamed!!
What a yawner of a product. For that money, you would expect so much better.
What awful value. Forgettable card design too.
Waste of $$$.
Buxton should not be put into a set like this.
The Twins really have no one else to put in. Their checklist is so thin since obviously Puckett is passed and cannot sign.
I agree that the twins are thin but in my opinion they do have a few better options.
