I bought a box of hobby on my way home. It cost me 304 dollars after taxes. I asked the person at the hobby shop if topps was trying to get people to stop buying baseball cards with their high prices. I bought one box and it was the biggest rip off, I should have kept it sealed. I'm very disappointed in myself because I tried to talk myself out of buying a box and I should have listened. I won't buy any hobby boxes for the foreseeable future.
Buying singles usually doesn't excite me and opening boxes has become the equivalent of throwing your money into a fire. My hobby is now down to just watching Jabs rips and feeling sorry for the people who paid for the boxes.
I stopped buying boxes this year. I just get singles once in a while. Done paying ridiculous prices for boxes. I just watch the videos. That’s the closest I get to boxes..lol
I walk into my local card store & I see a 1966 Mantle PSA 4 for under $300. Do I buy a sure thing or do I make the $300 GAMBLE? Over time I can build a awesome vintage collection or do I gamble looking for that never to be found card? What would you do?
I like to buy boxes, sell of what I don't like, use that $ to buy singles. So yeah it's still cheaper to buy singles, but it keeps that itch for packs going as well
My dad opened one of these today and he pulled a redemption Lawrence Butler auto, but I then we opened the rest of the box and there wasn’t an auto, does the redemption count as the chrome autograph that is guaranteed?
I got my hobby box for $17. Got lucking from thebdifital bunt app and landed a hobby box. Odds were 1:2000. And from the openenings ive been seeing, i dont even know if ill make back my $17
I just bought a case of hobby (8 boxes) here in Japan from a reputable dealer in Tokyo. When one converts it to USD I paid $224.43 per box. I am hoping for a signed Jason Giambi ! Lol na I doubt he's on the checklist....😂
From what I heard, fanatics is in trouble and trying to sell off a ton of stock. You can expect the. To start overprinting…again. Thought this would change with Fabatics but nope….they just as money hungry as the rest of them
10:06 I think people are catching on that there's so many one of one variations of a player in a lot of these sets that the saturation is getting to the point where people are reluctant to pay a lot for a product that is artificially saturated. Some of these players are getting as much as a hundred one of ones and everything's a parallel. Got it takes away the uniqueness of rarity. But that's my opinion and it looks like it's just junk wax there a 2.0 by trying to keep people interested through saturation. They need to bring back rare Chase cards if they really want to get people to over purchased their product. Imagine how much of 2024 tops would be wiped out if they were hunting for a Mickey Mantle rookie card
They overprint this product every single year and refuse to learn their lesson. It will sit on shelves with a lack of quality autos and low numbered parallels.
You pull the new red, blue, orange , black ray wave swirl refractor?? These parallels are ridiculous. Stick to buying singles people.. don’t fall for this overpriced garbage.

Just buy the cards you like. That’s what I’ve resorted to
I'm resorting to that. I like heritage and might buy a few boxes of high number with skenes and Holliday and choiruio in there.
304 is the rip off can get them for 225 at my hobby shop

I would love to see "Topps Holiday Chrome" for a change. I think the holiday layout would look very cool in "Chrome".
How is this even 199.99? I do not see the value, or am I wrong?
$10 autos, Base cards that will be in dollar boxes soon, 2 numbered cards? Yea I'm with you, nowhere near the value it should be.
Try $300 and up.
They turned Topps update into a straight lottery ticket.
Makes a Ponzi scheme look like a good investment
I think if for ever 10 dollars spent you should get a autograph card
Then every Holliday auto would be worth $10, nice!!
So you want to absolutely decimate the autograph market more than it already is
$300 is nuts

Singles… the only way to go, anymore…

Thank you for opening these boxes and once again proving I made a good decision to NOT buy one of these overpriced boxes. I really appreciate it
I bought two hobby boxes for $500 combined from my LCS and while I did enjoy the rip with my son, the prices are just completely out of control.
That last box was crazy
My dad opened one of these today and he pulled a redemption Lawrence Butler auto, but I then we opened the rest of the box and there wasn’t an auto, does the redemption count as the chrome autograph that is guaranteed?
These boxes = lighting your money on 🔥
Nice preview Erik. Thanks for the video.
Great video Jabs!!🎉 Topps Chrome update boxes were decent!!🎉
Welp . Glad i only ordered 2 of the $30 boxes
Andy Page's auto looks like a young child's drawing of a tent and campfire.
Can I buy the Leasure
I got my hobby box for $17. Got lucking from thebdifital bunt app and landed a hobby box. Odds were 1:2000. And from the openenings ive been seeing, i dont even know if ill make back my $17
In the second box the Jackson Holliday was different was it a variation???
Thank you for explaining ssp
My local shop has this for $600/box right now.
Love that spencer horwitz auto and Andy page’s auto and that shota imanaga card
This product is another miss of all the misses this year. Breakers will get all the good cards for their streams
If half the boxes (at least) were like that last one wouldn't be as bad
Really nice pulls

Maybe stock isn’t the right word….maybe equity 🤷🏽♂️
ugh why do the autos have to be sticker

Topps just cares about money not return on boxes or the actual hobby
I've always hated that chrome Hobby boxes have ONLY four cards. Not worth half the asking price. Nope.
You pull the new red, blue, orange , black ray wave swirl refractor?? These parallels are ridiculous. Stick to buying singles people.. don’t fall for this overpriced garbage.
But it’s so fun to rip.
😂 i say same thing all the time card crack @@K.Dwizzle
@@K.DwizzleI get that 10000% it’s just sad that they keep watering down our beloved sets and people eat it up.
@@swizzle1199 I agree. Boxes year to year are getting overpriced while under delivering.
I love the mystery of ripping packs. I don't have a particular card I want
Horrible price point for these. Should be more than half.ofnwhat theyre charging! But as long as people keep buying they'll keep overpricing.
Thanks Jabs!
Boom
Overpriced Junk
Buncha nobodys😅
Such a waste of money.
