I bought me 4.... But since my mom passed away Friday I had to go to Philadelphia to lay her to rest. But my 4 boxes are sitting in front of my home, ughhh. I hope they still there when I get back to NH. Rip mom, I did what you asked, I told Eric (jabs family) she loved your content
I’m also from Cincinnati so I loved watching the team and I loved going back today. Met almost the whole team and Joey too. Can’t wait to see who all I meet this year!
I’ve opened 15 hangers. Pulled a judge relic and a prince fielder auto out of 25 and at least 1 numbered card in each. By far the best format based on what I’ve opened so far in retail. Struck out on any big named rookies in the yellow parallel though.
out of the big 3 i think elly most fun to watch but evan carter best to buy long term. as of the rooks behind them. im most excited to stack Luis Matos, Nolan Schanuel, and Marco Luciano. love luciano but prices on matos are so good i cant stop buying
Willie Hernandez and Eckersley followed in 1984 and '92, respectively, and no reliever has been named MVP since. In 2021, Ohtani became the first player to ever win an MVP Award while serving primarily as a DH. (David Ortiz had five top-five finishes, including second in 2005).
I bought 4 boxes total and got around 1 numbered card per box and 2 of the 4 had a Home Field Advantage in it (Kershaw + J-Rod). I really would have loved to hit one of those redemptions, but with the amount of product they're doing it's going to be rough. I hate how Fanatics is doing this though. It's a few bucks more, but even with "free shipping" they still have a processing fee. It's a joke that they're that much more. Even $25 feels a bit high for this product since it's more about set building than getting your $$ back via value.
Consider yourself lucky. I opened 4 boxes and got 2 numbered and 80 percent of my aquas were pitchers. Got zero ellys or Dominguez. Only 2 home run challenge and zero hfa.
@@squidy123 I only got base rookies of them. Wish I had gotten at least a Dominguez aqua. And I did manage to get a HR Challenge in each. All in all I've opened 6 versions of the product (hobby and blasters) and got a HR Challenge in each. The only aqua that was anywhere close to decent was Ronny Mauricio, and he won't even play this year.
My guess for why they cut back on the amount of cards is because we complained about the prices going up and with inflation, if we want to keep the prices relatively where they are, they have to cut back how much they give us, so if we want more cards then the price will go up
Did you check the bottom right corner on the back of each card base card? If it says 1/1 it is a "first printing" of that card and should have the stamp but they forgot to add the stamp on the front of the card.
Wow 4 boxes in and fanatics is showing that the company and its products are hot garbage for an increased price but still enjoy the show Jabs absolutely nothing wrong with the show we need more competition is the sport card industry
Remember Topps/Fanatics screwed up and forgot to put "First Card" on the front so you have to check the back of each card for a 1/1 stamp. I have had better luck with the Fanatics boxes than Walmart. Still waiting to find them at Target.
Are you checking the back of the base cards to make sure you didn't get one of the 1/1? Since Topps messed up, but willing to fix it. But need to spot the 1/1 on the back.
Has anyone happen to hit any of the Kevin Hart SSP?? I’ve been watching them on eBay and those things are crazy in price! Since being numbered out of 52 ppl are paying really good money for them! Average price on named players is between $400-$600 which is crazy! I’m hoping to catch one low to snag!
I went to Walgreens today & they had blister packs for $7.99 with a pack of 2018 Optic ! & one fat pack of 2023 Topp Series 2 …I bought all 7 they had 😂
Showtime's production will go up after getting married and signing his deal structured the way it was done. Unlike most pro athletes that get married and production goes down. His cultural upbringing and pride will prove him to be one of the best when he is all done with baseball. The Dodgers signed Showtime. Many big name players that get signed in package deal with the wife. Look at his old ex-teammate Trout following his walk down the aisle and numbers. I will always wonder if Trout would have put up the numbers he did if he was on a team like the Yankees. I don't think Trout is a hall of famer up until this point either. Best to take the Jeter route when you play the game with the longest season of them all with the intention to win the last game of the season.

I hit the Judge signed baseball redemption 🎉
Congrats! I hit a Bryce Harper one! Aaron is amazing, great find there!
@@Drew-dd5nh any idea of what it's worth?
Cmon man no you didn't. Stop clout chasing.
@@DerrickUtz so lucky! Congrats. Bryce is my favorite Phillie player ever and I grew up watch Schmidt from his rookie year.
I miss sunday and wednesday night baseball with joe morgan and john miller. along with baseball tonight.
Thanks for the video, Jabs! Always appreciated, sir! 🙏
Baby blue is my fav color and those aquas are amazing to me and would love to have the full set but def couldn't afford it 😂😂
I really wish I could get the fanatics boxes. Seems like such cool boxes to buy! When they come back to stock I’m def buying a box!
I’m also from Cincinnati so I loved watching the team and I loved going back today. Met almost the whole team and Joey too. Can’t wait to see who all I meet this year!
Love Sports Card Junction in McCandless if you’ve never been!
Enjoyed the video Jabs. Like the Aqua Parallels but don't see paying 50 bucks for it. Thanks for sharing. Hope you feel better
Hi Erik. Wow my Walmart finally had some Topps2024 Blaster Boxes. I bought them all. 17 boxes. 😅😁😆😃😄😀🤣🤘✌️👍👌
If you are not allergic to it, a spoonful of honey works great on the throat.
These boxes were brutal. It's what 98% of boxes and packs will look like for the avg joe.
Cal Raleigh is 1st with 30 dingers. 2nd place(to my surprise) was rookie catcher Francisco Alvarez with 25. Perez, Diaz, and Langeliers following.
I love this design but with how brutal things have been in all formats I’m gonna call it good on series 1 for me.

I just opened 4 of these and got basically nothing 😢. I buy some boxes once a year before the season starts. Guess I got unlucky 🙃
It's worth 70 to 90 dollars aqua blue

One of the ella de la cruz aqua. Blue is About 80.00

Don't forget you get 2 more packs per box...

@@Do0msday best aqua I got was Evan Carter
Don't forget about the Fanatics 1 of 1's that are exclusive to this set
I wish the Laid Out insert was in this series. Those were cool.
Bought 10. I'd say 95 percent of my aqua parallels had the same bottom right corner damage. Best hit was /499.
Jabs day is the best day
I've been out of circulation for awhile with baseball! The last catcher that could hit I rooted for was Piazza! 😂
Obviously since Mauer won multiple batting titles at catcher.
@@TheEnd-eg6wq Unfortunately modern baseball is obsessed with home runs and unless you're a home run hitter no one pays attention to you.

Walgreens has a new blister 2pack of 2018 optic baseball for $10 some come with topps chrome or uk series 1 2022
1st addition rc's to look for. 1 of 1's. Gotta look at the bottom right bottom. I hear
Hope you get well quickly.
Sounds like it's time to get some hot tea with some local honey to get that voice back Jabs!
I pulled one of those vintage stocks of Gerrit Cole and missed it until I sorted my inserts
Did you check the bottom right corner on the back of each card base card? If it says 1/1 it is a "first printing" of that card and should have the stamp but they forgot to add the stamp on the front of the card.
Bought 5 for myself and bought into 4 separate 40-box case breaks and never saw a redemption.
Love that Henry David chrome card
I opened 4 today and pulled an Elly HFA...
Curious ur thought about the top 6 rookies in series 1 ??
I had no luck. Bought 5 and got 1 blue and one purple speckle. That's it.😢
I bought 20 hangers and I got no elly base bs

fanatics is bringing back the junk wax Era. The overproduction of #'d cards is astonishing
It may seem like a lot, but we’re still nowhere near junk wax production numbers
Remember Topps/Fanatics screwed up and forgot to put "First Card" on the front so you have to check the back of each card for a 1/1 stamp. I have had better luck with the Fanatics boxes than Walmart. Still waiting to find them at Target.
Wait, really? Now I've got to remember to check the back of every one of my cards when I organize them and put sets together.
Are you checking the back of the base cards to make sure you didn't get one of the 1/1? Since Topps messed up, but willing to fix it. But need to spot the 1/1 on the back.
In essence a brilliant scheme by Topps to get you to have to look at the backs of all cards. Makes them more interesting especially in bulk
You definitely sound a bit sick. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids and get lots of rest (or at least more than usual), hope you feel better soon 💪
I heard the print run on the aquas was 3600 per

Its crazy how they are going for more than his actual auto redemption from 2023 a&g
Still sounding a little rough buddy. Hope you feel better soon.
i got lucky and hit an Elly ssp
Yay!
I mean Henry Davis chrome card
Our restock sucked. No Topps 😢
Dry nice😊
The regular box says royal blue parallel and the fanatics says aqua parallel
It says Fanatics on the top-left as well.
Hangers are the only Bangers
Votto isn’t a HOF’er it’s HALL OF FAME NOT HALL OF GOOD.
How about a Bernard May autograph??
I went to Walgreens today & they had blister packs for $7.99 with a pack of 2018 Optic ! & one fat pack of 2023 Topp Series 2 …I bought all 7 they had 😂
I've got about $900 worth coming in everything from hangers to jumbo boxes! Once I go thru those I'm done I think until series 2! Love your channel! 🎉

Hi

Go get some rest man.get well then open the cards. You don't sound ok.

Another swing and a miss for 2024 series 1
Bump up your vitamin c intake Erik!
Topps cards just blow in general.
Not impressed with these boxes. Feel like megas are the way.
My cousin and I pulled a Signed Red Auto Ronald Acuña Jr. 1/5 baby 🫨🤪🤩
