Stryker, the youtube notification you posted a few weeks ago about 2023 Chrome being available on the Topps website helped me snag a hobby box before they sold out. Thank you!
Sweet break! I opened up 6 blaster I got from the Topps website. Did ok. Corbin Carroll pink refractor, Adley refractor, Volpe pink refractor and some other stuff. Acuna and Ohtani included.
Not sure where you got your info from, but the 60/40 for a PSA 10 is only on the back of the card. The front image has to be within 55% and 45% for centering.
Nice rip! I'm excited to get my hobby boxes. I got an email that the value/blasters are on the way but nothing on my hobby boxes yet and I ordered mine as soon as you could. Hopefully they get here on Wednesday.
Absolutely love the look and QC so far. I only wish it was either a little bit cheaper OR had lower print runs. Those 2 will prevent it from appreciating aggressively. Fanatics seems to be trying to avoid that. Like you said, having it available at this price for a while wouldn't be the worst thing. Cheers!
Sweet Kershaw.... The look of chrome is good and the quality control is way better than last year. However, the price point doesn't make sense for the layman to buy boxes. It will be rare to break even on any boxes you buy. Better off to buy singles or cheap team breaks.
I been watching your videos from the UK for a month or so now, you're instantly my go-to for mlb cards. I'm gonna treat myself to a hobby box for my birthday next month. Keep the videos coming!
Have you checked out the new format yet? The breakers delight. It looks pretty loaded with just 12 cards but you get 2 autos and oranges youthquakes only way to get them
Thanks for posting. And certainly appreciate the numbers. When I ran the numbers, I found the results to be fairly common sense: if you want autos, go Jumbo; if you want base parallels, go hobby; if you want retail exclusive parallels, go retail. I think the sheet you put together only references base rookie autos and I think it’s just fair to note the same variety of rookie auto parallels to get the appropriate perspective. Anyway, great stuff as always.
Appreciate the break and the numbers breakdown. Question: where do you pull your prices for boxes from? I can't find a hobby box of this product anywhere for near $150 - I'm seeing $220-$280 (DA = $240). Also, a jumbo I'm finding for $380-$440 (DA = $410). I'd love to buy some hobbys for $150 and take advantage of all the greens.
Thanks for the video. Using your small sample pool, hobby appears to be much better than blasters. I bought 4 hobby boxes (presale) off Topps website. Mine have yet to ship. I’m anxious to receive my Chrome and pull some gems.
Looks like some value here. Just ordered 2 hobbies. I'm glad I don't need to hit the streets for blasters. Haha thanks for the inside scoop. Prices will go up fast.
Great opening...it would be interesting to factor in the buyback value for the basic $40 parallels and the $20 base into the value sheet (take the price off the per box price). By my calculations when you take out inserts to figure the total base cards and total unnumbered parallels, blasters average $7 in buyback value, hobbys $17 in buyback value, and jumbos $28 in buyback value. This would only further the value of hobbys And blasters compared to jumbo.
Recent Sub, love the videos- super helpful to someone like myself getting back into cards. Could you explain why you topload certain ones? Also what’s process for picking ones to grade? Any insight would be helpful!
Solid rookies, decent parallels and inserts deserve to be sleeved to protect and keep them in good condition. Cards in good condition and are worth a decent amount where you can make profit by grading.
I was watching case breaks of jumbo on that rusty site Saturday and onky thing I didn’t like was where they put the serial number some look ok but some it just stands out to much but the quality does seem great
I can't wait until Topps gets their hands on Basketball. Topps Chrome Basketball haunts my dreams. And pretty sure you missed a refractor and put it in your base pile.
Best Topps Chrome baseball product so far this decade. And probably the best since 2018 Topps Chrome Update. Maybe even better depending on how the rookies pan out over their MLB careers.
Wow good for you to get yours. Mine has not been shipped. Thanks for the information.

My first and only Chrome Blaster box I pulled a Chrome Refractor Corbin Carroll on card signature!
But for real, the value of these videos is under appreciated.
Thanks!
Agreed
💯
Good good, you got him buttered up. Now quickly ask for a Shohei RC!
Thoughts on the Monster Box which is $60 but has the X Fractors?
I'll be in on Monsters at 60. I chase x-fractors
@@StrykerBreaks they are for sale on Fanatics just bought some!
Always love the videos! Jeremiah 29:11 on the Benson auto! Looking forward to the release!

That was my biggest gripe last year, you couldn't see the autos!!! Much better this year!!
Must be nice to receive prodcut early... my Jumbo and Hobby box are still processing. I ordered the 1st hour they were available on Topps.
Great video. Thanks Stryker!
Just opened my first of this box. Love the cards, love the product.
Stryker, the youtube notification you posted a few weeks ago about 2023 Chrome being available on the Topps website helped me snag a hobby box before they sold out. Thank you!
Glad to be of service!
Thanks for the info! I’ll be ripping a couple hobby boxes instead of a jumbo.
Good Luck!
Thanks for showing me the way of the hobby box.
Sweet break! I opened up 6 blaster I got from the Topps website. Did ok. Corbin Carroll pink refractor, Adley refractor, Volpe pink refractor and some other stuff. Acuna and Ohtani included.
Chrome this year exceeds my expectations. Absolutely beautiful parallels. Love the early videos brotha
Glad you like them!
Thanks for getting us hyped to get these boxes early before the prices get jacked!

Yeah lots of it produced don't forget the breakers delight format as well this year. 1 12 card pack per box

Question.. was the Yordan Titan a black parallel.. looked different from the Trout titan

Thx Stryker. Looking forward to watching u rip the jumbo box
Can't wait!
9:31 Aghhsgagaj super jealous. Kersh is my main PC guy. Nice hit!
Thanks for the value sheet and pack opening. Just ordered 2 hobby boxes 😊
Have fun and good luck!
Did not know about the 60/40 rule for PSA10! Really enjoy learning from this channel and seeing the breaks!
Thanks for the video! Nice Benson auto. Very underrated player for the Reds.
Great value in comparison to the blaster boxes
Topps needs to sponsor you .. thank you for these videos and info
The breakers delight configuration is juicy stuff! 6 base refractors,1 youthquake insert,3 numbered cards,and 2 autos
Stryker with the fire!!

Add in monster (mega boxes) as well. Curious to see how they stack up
well done Topps they nailed it and the colors look so sick
I'm a little surprised you got your pre sales and mine havent even shipped yet?
My Hobby case of this is scheduled for delivery on Wednesday. Very excited.
That’s a siiiick Clayton Clause
AZ 4TH hat is awesome!
I’m going to start using fanatics instead of topps cause you’re getting the boxes extra early 🔥🔥
Those red parralels look great.
Of course you got yours already. Lucky!! Probably going to start getting from fanatics
Have a Hobby coming - hopefully as good as yours was !! Have fun at the National!!

Why did they reduce the number of autos per box?

Whooooweee chrome looking mighty fine 🔥
Awesome colored parallels! Great introduction Stryker! You beat the odds again…that’s just normal for you.🔥🔥🔥

Awesome thanks brother 🤘🔥🍀
Was that Harris a photo variation ? And I like the way the serial numbers look bigger n bolder it seems
Cant wait to open some myself next month!
Ok I’m wicked psyched for chrome now! Nice Clayton clause
Love that Clayton!
Nice! Wish there was a lite version this year. Last years was good
Opened one blaster and hit a rookie auto seeing your value chart I count myself lucky
Also got Micheal Harris magenta rookie from blaster
I pulled a Ultraviolet Acuña yesterday. Was stoked!
I pulled a Riley green home-field advantage❤ I’m in love with it
What a Great Box,looking forward to getting a Hobby Box this Week,hope I have some Luck like you have, Straight Fire right there.

Will Benson is at least a rookie we have heard of, and he’s having a great start to his career.
2023 design looks great in Chrome format. Great video.
Thanks!
Much better than last year!!!
Yes! Definitely the best. Thank God this is what I ordered. The blasters are just too watered down.
I got a adle home run challenge card. Be sweet to hit. Wonder what date to pick ?
That Kershaw made me cry - beautiful card.
Clayton Kershaw 2/5! 🔥🔥🔥
When does the hobby box go live on the Topps website? At noon eastern?
I really like those Technicolor ones
That Kershaw!!! 🔥⚾️🔥⚾️🔥⚾️🔥
Do you sell your cards after you open them?
Can’t wait to get my hands on a hobby box
the parallels look soo good
Yes more chrome from Stryker gotta love it
Love that Clayton card, can’t wait to get a hobby box.
Thanks for watching!
Dude I’m jealous. You pulled 2 Cleveland autos between the blaster and hobby box. That’s all I collect 😂
So much better then the blasters. Thank you for the rip and knowledge bro!!!!!
Any time!
I want that Kershaw... So envious!
DEFINITELY hobby! Great rip
Topps Chrome is my favorite release and set off all time doesn't matter what year.
No acunas or ohtani I wonder if there short printed a bit
Pulled a Soto Auto, Ohtani Gold, and Ohtani Image Variation out of 2019 Heritage!!!
opened my first blaster today and got rookie auto refractor of Jonathan Aranda 430/499. sepias/pinks werent too great. im a sucker for chromium cards
Great box.... I'd be interested in the Kershaw

ALWAYS LOVE STRYKER 101. THANK YOU!
How did you get a hobby box early? I pre ordered direct from Topps and haven't received a shipment notification yet.
Stryker, was that Tovar refractor an image variation? That card image is different than his card in series 2
You’re the man Stryker!!
Stryker what do you know about ultraviolet allstars? I cant seem to find info and assume they are just inserts?
As always thanks for the research and giving us your knowledge! Why you are the best at what you do
My pleasure!
I was watching case breaks of jumbo on that rusty site Saturday and onky thing I didn’t like was where they put the serial number some look ok but some it just stands out to much but the quality does seem great
Man congrats on that Clayton ..reds are so tuff
Nice box! 🍻
That box was also a W because the Riley and Kershaw I could tell it made ya super happy 😂🎉
A refractor set would be nice, got a lot in one box.
I can't wait until Topps gets their hands on Basketball. Topps Chrome Basketball haunts my dreams. And pretty sure you missed a refractor and put it in your base pile.
Seeing you rip this makes me more excited for my jumbo I pre-ordered! Congrats on the red! The parallels definitely stand out more vs 2022 chrome
Thanks for watching!!!
What top loaders and sleeves are you using and where do you buy them? Appreciate the videos!
Best Topps Chrome baseball product so far this decade. And probably the best since 2018 Topps Chrome Update. Maybe even better depending on how the rookies pan out over their MLB careers.
Wouldn't waste money on retail this year, but you definitely got a better box, I bet. Can't really pass judgment til I see a jumbo.
Solid box!
