I love 24 chrome. They did a great job all around. Price is too high. There’s only one base auto that you can sell to get your money back on a hobby box. That’s a huge sign on how expensive the boxes are.
New to the hobby and enjoying watching you videos man! Opened my first 2024 topps chrome hobby box this morning. You already had better pulls than mine after just 2 blasters.
It's all or nothing with these. Western NY Cards did retail vs hobby and the blaster destroyed the hobby. There was a Buxton die-cut auto /25 in a blaster.
It’s embarrassing the “quality” of his product vs so many of the leaser known breakers. Even his refractors are known quantities and not some B tier reliever. Sorry, that just isn’t the norm on this product.
I’ve opened 7 blasters. 1 base auto 2 numbered 1 pink RC Bunch of sepia RC’s 1 ray wave RC 2 Prism RC’s 2 refractor rookies. These boxes Stryker opened are ridiculous.
Great video! You did better than my 10 blaster boxes but I can’t complain with what I got. More opportunities with color variation and the signatures are a bonus.
I bought 3 blaster packs last weekend from my local shop and I pulled a Judge sepia, a Otani base, Jasson Dominguez Strokes, Judge All-etch, Jose Espada Auto numbered 312/499, six pink Rookies, a Nado, Buxton, and Castellanos wavy. Not too shabby.
Love that you are wearing a Tigers hat, you have gotten a very lucky group of blasters. I've watched quite a few people open these, then went out and bought a hobby (didn't get either of the buy backs) then a jumbo, before the prices go up. Your video has changed my mind and I probably will be picking up some of this.
I opened 1 blaster and got A Jackson Holiday Pink, Juan Soto Ray wave, Will Smith Aqua parallel and a Chourio prism. Definitely want to pick up a couple more blasters.
I bought my first two Chrome boxes ever yesterday. Got a low end rookie auto and a Jackson Holliday wave rookie out of the first one. Haven’t opened second one yet. Letting it marinade lol.
Excellent informative video from Stryker once again. Of all the 2024 Chrome blaster boxes I've seen opened you're the only one I've seen that got GREAT pulls all the others compared to your 10-box opening were deserts very dry with nothing to show for the price that was/is being paid. Keep up the great work and you and your family have a good, safe and blessed rest of yer day and week.
I opened 5 blasters yesterday with mixed results.. no autos.. Jackson Merrill sepia and a Candalario /250 were probably my best pulls. Also i didnt pull any Judges or Ohtanis. Im guessing Topps will limit the MVP candidate carda so they font have to buy back as much.
I’ve ripped 10 blasters and I got 1 auto, 6 numbered cards 2 of them #’d Christian strand but I’ve only pulled ONE Elly RC base, 0 Jackson Chourio, 0 Yamamoto & 2 Ohtani base/1 judge base. So collation is off or something idk lot of the same cards
Got 2 blasters before release at my LCS.....I've gotten $70 back from 2 within the first week. Not a bad buy at all, with the retail exclusives! Edit: Got 2 raywave, 1 color, 1 auto, 1 negative and good players amongst them. Auto was Andre Lipicus base......prism refractors of acuna, wilyer abreu, sepia of Juan Soto, negative of MJ Melendez.....2 raywaves were Nola & Justin Turner. True blue /150 of Castellanos. The same retail case had an Elly /25......these are hit and miss, but the hits HIT
Sometimes retail is better than hobby, whether thats for the price or just better overall. Other times, hobby blows retail out of the water. Many factors much luck, all fun.
Watched you and this other braker rip this format, wow both you guys are pulling fire.! Pretty impressive. Going to pick some up for sure! You get 8 for 300 bucks not bad at all
Firmly on the train that I won't buy one of these unless they get discounted to $30 or less. Jabs 10 blasters were much more typical it felt with only 2 hits out of 10 blasters, which included a negative. Singles of who I want are cheapest already too so I'm still holding firm.
Here my take on this and Topps Chrome in general. It’s trash. Sure you can get that one big hit but your chances are very low. Unless you are a major breaker spending thousands, ordering by the case, you aren’t hitting anything. I ripped 4 blasters last night and got ONE good card pink Colton Cowser. I ripped 2 Jumbo Hobby and 1 Hobby and all 7 autos were garbage. The best card I’ve got out of all of these packs is a Judge Prizm and a Pink Elly from a sport memorabilia store local (random pack). I have nothing against Stryker or any other breaker they are amazing people and love baseball. It’s just frustrating man!!
Pro Stryker rules baseball hands down cons sometimes oil feel like just backing off collecting I make $35 hr and I feel like I don't make enough money to be involved if I want to get in a good break every week what 600 a month geez it's like it's above my pay grade
Mr Stryker, in your chart with the different formats, do you take into account that these blasters have 32 cards, not 28, for the pricing per card? I know it's a minor point, but the 2 sepias and 2 pinks are in addition to the other cards. So, 7 packs of 4 cards each, but 4 of the packs will actually have 5 cards. It was the same last year. It's also that way with flagship blasters and holiday cards. Those are extras. I always open packs one at a time, to stretch out my pack-opening enjoyment. 😂 Great video. I opened 2 so far, one had a rookie auto, Randy Wynne. 😃
The boxes say 28 total cards but if there are extras then...bonus! It's already the best dollar per card, so if there are extras then it makes it a bit better.
Opened 1 blaster. Got 1 numbered auto Steve Cruz rc /299 and 1 Aaron Judge base card. Watching this makes me think there is an auto in half the boxes. ( I know that isnt true.)
Damn. I bought 4 blasters from Walmart… and got one base rookie auto, and everything else was horrible. Felt like all of the boxes were almost the same players… was very disappointing. These boxes were wayyy better and it didn’t feel like you got a bunch of the same players from different boxes.
I have to say I a bit disappointed with chrome so far. Haven’t dabbled with blasters yet. That will make or break it for me. Parallels will be the decider. Thanks for the vid!
Great stuff as always. Another newbie question - where is the best place to find out how much a card is worth and its historical price performance? I.e. a chart of its average price in sales over the past, say, 5 years or so?
Tell you what, the expanded check list as made collecting 2024 Chrome really difficult and super expensive, especially when a hobby box is $200+ and jumbos are at $500. Those are stupid prices. One of three jumbos I've ripped was awesome. The other two were.....OK. The two hobby boxes I've ripped were bad. Haven't had any luck with blasters either. Maybe the trick is buying a case of blasters? Buying one or two off the shelf just doesn't make sense financially.
Retail sucks at that crazy price point. I love the chrome cards. But the price point is to delusional compared to what singles sell for. I hit a kjerstad base auto, Cowser purple refractor #/250, and Wilyer Abreu blue sonar #/125 out of my hobby box. Those three cards of what I consider B tier rookies didn’t even cover half the cost of my hobby box. I feel hitting B tier or C tier rookies like that should help you break even. Your A tier rookies should put you in the green. Which isn’t the case anymore. And let’s not talk about the Mason McCoy autos they put in here to rob people of a hit. Dude is a 30 year old Padres rookie who had one AB last year and will never hit the field in an MLB game again. And as a Padres a religious padres fan who lives out here and goes to a ton of games I had to google the dude to find out who he is. If that’s the case he should have never made the checklist. Save stupid stuff like that for low end products. Definitely falling out of love with this hobby.
Even with pulling above average hits id still be upset with the amount of money if paid for these boxes even while being on the way better sides of pulls. Much rather open ten platinum aniversary boxes
I opened 3 of these and each one had a # card in it, two of them had the greens to 99. I have noticed on the breakers delight boxes, you either get nothing by vet refractors or its all rookie refractors. I do have a big issue with a lot of OC issues, pulled several with really bad top to bottom issues. For those that have an issue with pricing, please feel free to buy a Prizm or Optic box from Panini for $1K and see if you get anything back on them.
wow, great luck with the Blasters, I've seen a lot of dust being pulled from Blasters.
Your blasters were definitely the best ive seen opened on TH-cam so far!
💯 agree. This was a great rip!
I love 24 chrome. They did a great job all around. Price is too high. There’s only one base auto that you can sell to get your money back on a hobby box. That’s a huge sign on how expensive the boxes are.
I got a pete crow armstrong rookie autograph on my 2nd ever 2024 topps chrome packs 😊
I ripped eight blaster boxes and ended up with five numbered cards, two autos, an Elly prism refractor, and both a Judge and an Ohtani pink.
got my first ever blaster box yesterday, opened my first pack and got a numbered card. im assuming it's beginner's luck lol
I really love chrome this year. The only thing I don't like is the price.
glad ray waves are in these. i really like that parallel.
New to the hobby and enjoying watching you videos man! Opened my first 2024 topps chrome hobby box this morning. You already had better pulls than mine after just 2 blasters.
I’ve watched a ton of videos on these blasters and mostly all of them have been trash. Your first box was the best blaster I’ve ever seen out of these

@@kimpettter8462 Jabs opened 8 boxes and got nothing but trash. He' has more subscribers than Stryker. Some cases are just better than others.
Mine were horrific. I got better value out of one Fairfield target box than any of my 8 blasters
I’ve opened 7 blasters.
1 base auto
2 numbered
1 pink RC
Bunch of sepia RC’s
1 ray wave RC
2 Prism RC’s
2 refractor rookies.
These boxes Stryker opened are ridiculous.
Opened a Topps box yesterday, got a purple Elly de la Cruz
congrats
Awesome hits. i don't think these boxes are in the same galaxy as the norm. I hope it is though, because then I will start buying Blasters.
I pulled a Aqua Junior Caminero Auto from a blaster this year. Bought one box for fun, and it was there.
I’m with you. I’ve open ped 3 blasters and I’ve gotten 3 numbered cards, one in each
Topps Chrome looks really good all around.. but they need to drop the price a little bit so everyone can enjoy it .
It’s embarrassing how little you get for the 40$ tag
@@canaan56 I think it's like $55 .. but I'm not sure .

I pulled a gold ray wave 10/50 Jackson Holiday from a blaster box
I am extremely impressed with how Chrome looks on the design. Great video!
Awesome rip my man. You beat the odds from all the blasters I've seen ripped. 👍🤘
Hey man. Just started watching. You’ve been super helpful. I just started buying cards. Thanks for the help brother.
Great video! You did better than my 10 blaster boxes but I can’t complain with what I got. More opportunities with color variation and the signatures are a bonus.
All companies really need to rethink their pricing.
@@SportsDrumming why when people keep buying them.
Not really when people still buy at these prices. Why would they change it? Nothing will change until the gambling addicts stop buying them
When they keep selling out why would they change?
Same
Pulled an Ultra Violet Bryce Harper from my first blaster of the year! Love the way chrome looks this year
That gold Gurriel ray wave is sick
Thanks for the video! That was a surprising rip. I'm still going with monster boxes over the blasters.
Nice. I can't wait for part 2. I just may invest! Thanks for this!
That chourio is super sick. I’m a big brewers fan.
8:00
As a Brewers fan, that’s an awesome pull! The design is so cool!
Man I’m from Pittsburgh so I’ll never complain about pulling Buccos 😁💛🔥🖤😁
Yeah man those ray waves are sweet. I just pulled one from a blaster the other day of 50
I bought 3 blaster packs last weekend from my local shop and I pulled a Judge sepia, a Otani base, Jasson Dominguez Strokes, Judge All-etch, Jose Espada Auto numbered 312/499, six pink Rookies, a Nado, Buxton, and Castellanos wavy. Not too shabby.

I really appreciate your insight you give us on the products
I like watching these then going on eBay to buy singles I like. Great rip tho, best one I’ve seen by far
Gosh you were on fire with these blasters.
I opened 1 blaster and got A Jackson Holiday Pink, Juan Soto Ray wave, Will Smith Aqua parallel and a Chourio prism. Definitely want to pick up a couple more blasters.

Blasters are my favorite. Way better than hobby.
Beautiful blasters 😉👌

The first box was really good..
Thanks for sharing
I really like the "strokes" and "titans" inserts. I'd rather buy singles instead of boxes.
I’ve ripped 10 blasters and I got 1 auto, 6 numbered cards 2 of them #’d Christian strand but I’ve only pulled ONE Elly RC base, 0 Jackson Chourio, 0 Yamamoto & 2 Ohtani base/1 judge base. So collation is off or something idk lot of the same cards
I opened one of these and got Andrew Abbot Signed out of 91 out of 150 wavy chrome all star rookie
Awesome Stryker
Do u also use top loaders from card shells?
Yes. Use code strykeforce for a discount at cardshellz.com
I got 2 Autos out of 5 Blasters (Lane Ramsey and a Carson Spiers tea) and an /25 Orange Ray wave of Nolan Arenado
I have decided I'm going to put together the strokes set
Got 2 blasters before release at my LCS.....I've gotten $70 back from 2 within the first week. Not a bad buy at all, with the retail exclusives!

Way better than a jumbo hobby even.
Sometimes retail is better than hobby, whether thats for the price or just better overall. Other times, hobby blows retail out of the water. Many factors much luck, all fun.
Do inserts of judge and Ohtani count for the buyback? I am wandering because you pulled a judge strokes insert 22:45
Loaded boxes ❤
Watched you and this other braker rip this format, wow both you guys are pulling fire.! Pretty impressive. Going to pick some up for sure! You get 8 for 300 bucks not bad at all
8 blasters for $320 is ridiculous.
Lot of people hating on these. Seeing mixed results
Depends whose case opening you watch. Watching Jabs you'd avoid this product. Watching this Stryker video makes you want to buy this product.
@@Statikshade westernycards has had luck as well
Got two of these from the mail coming tmrw, wish me luck I’ll come back to comment if it was worth it
Good luck 🍀🍀
13 blasters and no a single Judge or Ohtani. I did get 2 autos though. I bought them while in Vegas at Paradise card breakers for $35 each.
not* but you get it brotha! Still... lots of fun.
Blasters are banging, let’s go!
So Stryker you say XFractors are 1.5X - 2X more collectible than other parallels, where do you rate Logofractors in comparison to Xfractors?
Firmly on the train that I won't buy one of these unless they get discounted to $30 or less. Jabs 10 blasters were much more typical it felt with only 2 hits out of 10 blasters, which included a negative. Singles of who I want are cheapest already too so I'm still holding firm.
Hold onto that banged up Gunnar, possible MVP candidate. I believe that the Buy Back Program takes cards that have some damage.
Only base cards are eligible for mvp buyback
Do you ever send your excel files to people who are interested in the data aspect of these cards and the probabilities?
Here my take on this and Topps Chrome in general. It’s trash. Sure you can get that one big hit but your chances are very low.
