I remember when pulling an auto was special. I didn't care who the player was. The same goes for relic cards. The cost and expectations of todays cards and collectors are way too high.
Depends on how much the cost of the rip is... Pulling a nobody Auto from retail where the boxes are (used to be) $20-40 bucks is different than $400 boxes haha
Yeah. I agree with the TH-camr here. If the product cost nothing then who cares. We all pay these insane prices for the auto and numbered cards. If they want to charge 200 then that tells us the buyer that we’re getting value. You wouldn’t pay 1000 for a tv that may work from time to time. If you pay more you expect to get more b
Man, that was a let down. Both boxes were definitely a let down. There have been boxes out there with some decent hits and 2-3 numbered cards. It makes me wanna grab another Topps Series 2 hobby box though and test my luck!!!
Thanks for the video! Series 2 hobby and jumbo boxes were spittin' out fire for a minute. I was a bit surprised on this battle. Fanatics has been doing the most to water down 2024 Topps Chrome, and turn it into Panini Prizm Baseball with active players and team logos. I'm starting to think Composite Football and Topps Chrome Basketball might be a more enjoyable hobby rip. At least you will know all the guys who will fly out of the boxes, and the rookie autos will be highly sought after.
I have both Composite and chrome basketball hobby boxes coming in... 3 boxes of each... if i don't pull anything to satisfy the rip then I'm done with topps. I've been getting killed by their stuff lately
Retail is better, the chance of pulling a rare card is more valuable based on the value at which you buy them vs the guaranteed no name at the higher cost you pay for hobby.
Let's go sky b, nice cards, great videos, I always love it when I wake up to one of your videos!!! 🔥🔥🔥 EDIT: I WANT THAT CHRIS MURPHY /25 ROOKIE IT IS SO SICK🔥🔥🔥
Brutal rip.. the auto was numbered also but only 2 numbers is crazy.. Topps is killing the hobby.. they put more emphasis on the breaker delight boxes… so sad.. thanks for sharing.
Just a test on my brain. I’m not kidding but I don’t get the results for a week or so. Not to worry my friend I’m a tough old man! Hope that you are feeling good and enjoy your A/C! Much love bro, Peter
@s.macintosh-jc9rf just a check up? Hopefully nothing is wrong brother🙏 any time there's a trip to the hospital it usually means bad news. Get better well my friend, keep me updated as well! Much love and stay safe🙏🙏🙏
damn, both boxes weren't great. Thanks for showing it, we've all been there. Bought 6 Donruss Optic Basketball hangers this week and got absolutely murdered.
Hobby boxes used to be so different I bought a hobby box back in 2016 from 2014 only 100 bucks…. And it was topps football. You got 4 autographs as well. Nowadays easy 500-900 for a decent hobby box
The kids really love watching these baseball packs. I can’t find it here so I am glad you can open these. The kids loved the baseball and football yes. A Shota imanaga first rip awesome. Also a Yamamoto cool. # don’t forget to Shohei Ohtani strike the like button guys 👍👍👍☝️🙏
Purple auto was numbered to 299 i think. Other than that you got a good box compared to most people. If you dont buy a case its not worth it and even then its still not worth it i think the value will drop on these. Wish i snagged a jumbo before they ran out. I'm waiting on my monster boxes to come in they say they have legends in those so hopefully I get lucky
BRO , THAT TC EAS A COLD BOX , IVE SEEN SOME AMAZING COLOR , ED# AND BIG AUTOS FROM A HOBBY, THE BLASTER'S ARE VERY WEAK AS WELL. AND I LOVE TO RIP TC. SEEMS LIKE AS THE YEARS GO ON , TC GETS WEAKER. THAT'S WHY I FOCUS MOSTLY ON BOWMAN. COLOR AND FIRST CARDS. THANKS FOR THE RIP BROTHER.👊💥💥!
I guess the thrill of the chase is enough for some people to keep buying this stuff, but to me it's just a rip off. I'll gladly take my money and just buy the singles I want.
how is slade a no name rookie? he's like the d backs swing man, I'm sure plenty of dbacks fans would love that pull.. also it was a numbered auto and u hit a orange... don't see the issue pretty standard for hobby
I remember when pulling an auto was special. I didn't care who the player was. The same goes for relic cards. The cost and expectations of todays cards and collectors are way too high.
Paying 400 dollars combined to get one auto and one relic. Then you have the right to be mad

Hey your the reason I started collecting and got my first jersey card, much love

These videos are great to see where you get more value. I'm sure you would have liked better cards from that expensive of a box.
I'm still pretty new to this so ideally, what should I buy to get the best value for my money? Enjoyed the video
Love watching your rips my friend.
Thanks for the rip. Those boxes are so hit or miss. I've seen some awesome rips and some brutal ones.
This is great, love that your doing two baseball hobbies!
More to come!🙏🙏
I hope you are having an amazing day!! Great video
Appreciate that a ton, same with you man!
Jumbo hobby always the winner even when they aren't in the contest. Good rip. Love the baseball content!

@@skybcards That's more than fair.
Great battle video bro!!! I think the chrome took the win for sure!! But both boxes were pretty brutal for the price!!!!!
Appreciate it bro, I'd say the only real winner here is topps themselves
Retail is better, the chance of pulling a rare card is more valuable based on the value at which you buy them vs the guaranteed no name at the higher cost you pay for hobby.
I’m staying away from topps products. Thanks for the review and showing us what it is!
Topps chrome is the clear winner but neither was great. You did pretty well on the refractors of the rookies. Thanks for the video.
I'd agree, i can't believe that chrome hobby had 1 numbered card outside of the auto. Is that normal lol
Just rough! Rough! Keep it up, you got a hit coming.
love your videos always entertaining ty....
Glad you like them!🙏🙏
Love the videos man keep up the great work
Thanks! Will do🙏
Yo sky. Just want to say thank you cuz I won one of your givys on your last whatnot stream. You always have the best givys and I truly appreciate it.
Ayeee congrats bro🔥💪
Topps chrome all day there for sure looks like that is the way to go for chrome keep on kicking ass and livin the dream sky b u rule
Ayeee my brotha🫡🫡 salute to you, have an amazing day!!
Let's go sky b, nice cards, great videos, I always love it when I wake up to one of your videos!!! 🔥🔥🔥
EDIT: I WANT THAT CHRIS MURPHY /25 ROOKIE IT IS SO SICK🔥🔥🔥
Ayeee love to hear it fam, let's get active 💪🔥
Yeah also I love that Chris Murphy /25 rookie from the Topps chrome box
Brutal rip.. the auto was numbered also but only 2 numbers is crazy.. Topps is killing the hobby.. they put more emphasis on the breaker delight boxes… so sad.. thanks for sharing.
Series 2 has been so good. Sad to see a lackluster box. Thanks for Rip’n! Breakers Delight has ruined chrome! I couldn’t agree more!
Nice video, always enjoy your rips. Just way to expensive for not much return.
You’re my favorite youtuber!
You're the best!🙏🔥
Like #49 to you!!!Topps is getting like Panini. I predict brutal prices in the future from Topps
We are already at brutal prices! $45 blasters is as bad as it gets
@@skybcards Hobby might get worse, just look at what panini charges for hobby, Topps might get there
@hotjoe817 panini doesn't charge that. Panini direct prices are great, it's the distributors and breakers that mark everything up
Nice rip. Thanks for sharing 👍. Keep up with the cool 😎 videos.
Pretty decent. At least they hobby prices are as high as PANINI football stuff.
Both boxes are good ngl
Hi Sky,
Thanks for your box battle today. I’m at the hospital so I just wanted to say hi to you and wish you a fantastic day!
Much love bro,
Peter
Is everything okay bro?!?!?!
Just a test on my brain. I’m not kidding but I don’t get the results for a week or so.

Hope that you are feeling good and enjoy your A/C!

Thanks for your thoughtfulness Sky. I’ll let you know what happens. Thanks for thinking of me. I appreciate your kindness.
Much love bro,
Peter
Fantastic video!
Thanks bro🔥💪
New rip! Let's go Sky!
Nothing better than a new rip🔥
Love the videos .. but these boxes make me stick with retail!!!!! 😂😂
You and me both!😂
damn, both boxes weren't great. Thanks for showing it, we've all been there. Bought 6 Donruss Optic Basketball hangers this week and got absolutely murdered.
Topps Chrome for me and it definitely was way better than series 2
Series 2 gets my vote! Awesome rip
Agreed🙏
I ripped a Topps Chrome blaster & was lucky enough to pull an Elly Prizm not numbered though. Made my box for sure I even got an alright auto
Nice vid man, could you explain how the MVP buy back works?
Thanks man, and at the end of the year whoever wins mvp you can redeem for $ at participating card shops
Hobby boxes used to be so different I bought a hobby box back in 2016 from 2014 only 100 bucks…. And it was topps football. You got 4 autographs as well. Nowadays easy 500-900 for a decent hobby box
And you get 1-2 autographs at best lol….
thank you for posting
Some brutal boxes 😢. Crazy prices going up and returns going down 😅
The kids really love watching these baseball packs. I can’t find it here so I am glad you can open these. The kids loved the baseball and football yes. A Shota imanaga first rip awesome. Also a Yamamoto cool. # don’t forget to Shohei Ohtani strike the like button guys 👍👍👍☝️🙏
Yessir I knew you would enjoy that topps chrome box, the pulls were perfect for you🔥🔥 Yamamoto and Shoto let's go🔥🔥🔥
Sweet rip bro💪🔥
My brotha💪🔥 football season around the corner and I couldn't be more excited bro
@@skybcards fr just hoping tennessee will be good🙏
Holy crap i was thinking of getting a series 2 hobby box and after watching this im deff not getting one lol.
Chrome for me
Great video!!
Purple auto was numbered to 299 i think.
Other than that you got a good box compared to most people. If you dont buy a case its not worth it and even then its still not worth it i think the value will drop on these.

The blasters are better for both products.
13:46 Finally I know a player that he doesn’t 😂
i know right just can’t believe he does know randy
Man I was so on the fence with ordering a chrome hobby box as well
Fire the cannons on series 2,Chrome wins by a landslide. I found a blaster of Donruss 2023-24 Basketball, open or hold?
The cannons are officially fired away! & i say rip it, hopefully you pull a Wemby!!🔥🔥🤞🤞🤞🤞
Topps Chrome with the easy win brotha
Nice rip!
Appreciate it my man

Sadly you're right brother... seems like they're ruining the topps chrome brand every year, it just keeps getting worse🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
The card gods were not happy this one time.😢 Time for a bounce back.👍🏽
How much are the numbers on the Aaron judges and ohtanis if you turn them into the local card shop
Base $20, refractors $40
@@skybcards thanks
Sky B how do you know when your stores restock and great vid like always
I just check a lot bro haha, & thanks🙏🙏
I just ripped a case of series 2 and almost missed 2 ssp cards...
L crappy products why do they sell them. ik i’ve asked this a lot but can u make a vid with optic formats🎉❤
I guess the thrill of the chase is enough for some people to keep buying this stuff, but to me it's just a rip off. I'll gladly take my money and just buy the singles I want.
Great vid Crome with the W
Agreed🙏
Brutal 😢 My Series 2 Hobby was 💩 also.
Nice Iron Man Relic!
Was definitely the highlight of the rip!🔥
Thanks man!
Your price expectations
Thank you god card. When’s the next time you’re going live? I want to get active for the 1 time
Hmmmmm probably a few weeks, I gotta get more giveaway prizes!
whenever he drops a card or a pack the perfectionist inside me screams
Not big on baseball, but I’ll say Chrome won
The last money grab for sports card manufacturers.. but i am still going to buy some of those 45$ blasters 😂
Best of luck lmaoo
Topps chrome used to have 2 autos for like 66% of the cost now
Have a great day.
You have a better one 😎
I’m so mad I missed your what not stream because it’s in the morning for me because I live in hawaii
Dude I ripped a chrome as well and biggest hit I got was a base Shohei (if he wins mvp). Auto was a no name rookie pitcher. Absolute trash.
👍
I'm a huge fan of series 2, but that was a garbage box. I'm sticking to retail, just too expensive and I seem to have good luck with blasters.
Topps chrome I would rather open and the topps chrome was better
You missed the shohei refractor part of the buy back
Topps chrome is not it this year. I’ve had way more fun opening Topps chrome platinum hobby boxes and blasters, thanks for sharing tho bro!
Woof!
This guy is the best when he posts
I try bro💪
You were not joking when you said this rip would be brutal.
I wish I was bro!🤦♂️😂
Didnt you get a Juan Soto auto and another auto a month ago.
Yeah from Series 2
before it even starts imma go for topps series 2
wow i was wrong
Amazing video I love watching these kind of videos!!!!
Glad you enjoyed!
That first box was sad. If you paying hobby prices they shouldn’t let it be that bad… was like a 10% return.
It’s absurd to me they actually have a “breakers delight” product. Should show everyone exactly where their priorities are.
Topps chrome is a better box overall
Yeah you're probably right bro!
Open some Topps chrome soccer please 🙏
Tough rip but appreciate the entertainment. Are you going to rip any of the Topps Basketball cards?
Yeah I have 3 hobby boxes coming
When I saw blasters for $45 at WalMart I couldn't believe it.
Same man, same
Pulls so bad it made him not upload the next day 😂 that’s just so frustrating a hobby box can be that bad.
Chrome had this one BUT both were 💩😭😂 One reason I don't buy much baseball cards, lots of BS lol
WE ALWAYS CHASING WEMBY!! 😂💪
You got 2 numbered cards because the auto was numbered. Still brutal though obviously
1 numbered card outside the Auto. Typically you get 3-4 non Auto numbered cards. I got destroyed
Chrome
The more I see Topps hobby rips, the more worried I get about Fanatics taking over the other sports.
I feel that in my soul haha
how is slade a no name rookie? he's like the d backs swing man, I'm sure plenty of dbacks fans would love that pull.. also it was a numbered auto and u hit a orange... don't see the issue pretty standard for hobby
Thanks for opening more hobby bro!
More to come!🫡🙏
I don't mess with hobby ever. Overpriced.
I stopped ripping packs. I just buy cards I want. It’s not worth the price anymore
Smart move with the way prices are now
Chrome was better but neither impressive.
Agreed for sure
What is up sky?
Just ready for some 2024 football hby good sir?!
