14:26 *Skips over the Mookie Betts 86’* so it would be 8 total 86’ cards adding up to 2 86’ cards in each blaster.
Maybe it's nostalgia, bringing me back to when I was a kid opening packs, but I absolutely love the 86 cards in this set.
I pulled a on card auto graph Dennis Ekersley 86 style card. I will admit. They look nice
I agree that's when I started collecting!!Have a ton of that black bordered cards.
Jabs, I opened one of my 2020 Topps Update Hanger Boxes the other day and pulled the Luis Robert SSP... That's your boy. Listed as high as $500 on eBay...
So happy I discovered this channel. Best TH-camr I’ve came across. Will be binge watching your vids tonight 🔥
Super informative and you cut to the chase. Watched other comparison videos but you are way better. From box prices to the comps, super fast! Appreciate the info
You missed a Mookie Betts 1986 card
I saw that too
Me two
Ya
Wow I'm shocked the blasters did so great. Great idea for a video!! I love it
I concur with your assessment of the four Blaster boxes as the better value. The '52 cards are an attraction for me and the possibility of getting a few of those in the Chrome refractor.
I'm new to this I opened my first pack today and I got a Luis Robert Relic card! So stoked
Just found this channel by coincidence and. I'm happy I did. Liked and subscribed. Great video 👍
I pulled a 13 out of 25 Ke’Bryan Hayes out of a jumbo from my lcs. From my blaster from Walmart I pulled an orange parallel ofJo Adell and an Adell rainbow parallel. Lastly I pulled a Dylan Carlson 86’ auto out of a $2.98 pack!
Hey Jabs! I opened a hobby box and pulled a Bob Gibson autograph /10!!!
Wow! Nice!
Congrats
WOW!!!
Show it!
Why would Wander Franco be left out?
Just bought some blasters and they are arriving tomorrow, can’t wait
I opened a blaster, and found some good rookies
Thanks for the information
My hobbies boxes were a massive letdown but my friend pulled some monster hits. All about luck
I'm a fan of blasters because it's a lot easier on the wallet if I can pick up a blaster here and there for $20 rather than a hobby box for a bunch more all at once. But it all comes down to preference. Some people enjoy the guarantee that a hobby box can offer (even if it's just a relic). I like blasters because if you do get a hit it just feels more exciting and rewarding than normal. Plus you can stock up on rookies at a better clip most of the time and I'm a fan of that.
I've actually opened exactly four blaster boxes so far and found that this video seemed fairly similar to what I got in my packs. For my money, I would take the four blasters over the hobby box. Thanks for sharing and kudos to whoever recommended doing this video
That silver pack is the potential game changer! :)
@@JeffreyBeckerPhotographs For sure. It's the lottery ticket
I really enjoy theses kind of videos
The auto/relic, assuming it is good, would probably make up the loss of cards from the blasters. I would still choose blaster because the ‘52 cards look really nice.
I will stick with the hobby box but I guess i will pick up some blasters as will. Great video Jabs
All I have opened are jumbo packs and 16 card packs. Those cards are pretty much what the blaster boxes have. I do have a blaster from Walmart and a hobby that I bought from you .
Hey Jabs! I would vote the blasters the winners. More rookies and love the 52 inserts. Though those silver packs are the wild card. If that was a bigger hit then maybe hobby.
They both have there advantages I feel anyway....great video jabbs
I got a blaster of this from my dad today when I get home from soccer I'm gonna rip it its gonna be so fun
I think if you're looking for the quick flip to get your money back on the cards, the hobby is the best value and also the most likely to "reward" you with a big hit with the autograph / relic or in the silver pack. If you're looking more at the cards as a collector and more long-term holds, I would go with the the blasters all the way because of the increased chance to get the base rookies and especially the '52 set.
I pulled a Major League Materials Evan White Auto/Jersey card #05/25 in my hobby box. Blasters I got squat. One thing I noticed on the odds list for the blaster box/packs: There's no mention of odds for autos/relics. What's up with that?
hey can you do a comparison between hanger boxes and fat packs
So please tell me,, how can I find cards at topps and they are always out ,, so how do you find,, PLEASE let me know
Love the video's,,
Edge goes to the Blasters. Even though I do love the silver packs.
Hey bud - I got a yellow plate (1/1) Humberto Meija rookie and was wondering if you knew an approx. value. I cant find much online. Thanks!
Check the back of the platinum player cards!! I pulled a Mike Trout /70.
how much of the complete set did you get cards1-330 in the hobby that would be a factor as well. it seams the cards come in a certain order and maybe the hobby has less duplicates? just curious. great video I enjoyed it. i was never a fan of the 86 black boarder cards. too hard to get perfect always nicked easily
Purchased a case of hobby not to open...Purchased 2 Jumbos Boxes for PC! Waiting for Gypsy now!
That Mattingly card is dope.
I bought the hobby box as I figured I could not find the retail but watching your busts retail is the best for the orice
The hubby and I generally stay away from retail especially in this day of flippers. It is all about luck at the end of the day, but at least your guaranteed a couple of hits in hobby (even if the odds are shitty). Good luck finding any retail by the way. My LCS was at 120.00 for about a month. The price has since went up considerably.
I read many of the comments, but not many people brought up the fact that some people don't have a choice. I live in Philadelphia, and have been looking for Blasters and Hangers since the 9th. I got lucky, and was able to pick up the last (2) hangers at one location. The rest were sold out. I purchased a Blaster on FB Marketplace, and I did better with the Hangers then the blaster, and got way more cards (134 vs. 99), and got better "hits" (I got a Juan Soto #/299). So while the hobby box may not guarantee better hits and may let you down, chances are you can actually order them.
Dear jabs
I opened 4 blasters and I'm a set builder so after I ripped 4 blasters and put everything in order I was only missing 42 cards and all big rookies I hit!! So I say retail over hobby .....just my opinion
Love the vids man. Keep up the great work
We were talking about this today. Hobby boxes might have redemption cards in them. Witch have an expiration day on them so. If your gonna hood long term (more than a year) I would go with retail!
Whats your take on the jumbo hobby boxes. They are running around the $300.00 price now.
I opened 3 megaboxes best cards were a gold Ryan Mountcastle($30-$50 on eBay) and a Jo Edell red refractor /70, which sold on eBay for $230.
My first time blaster box love it
Blasters all day long for set building. I live in an area without an LCS and I've generally had good luck with blasters through the years in comparison.
Don't feel bad my area is the same there used to be four lcs ware I live buy they all closed up I haft to deal with Wal Mart or target
If you are looking to put together a complete set then the hobby box is definately the way to go , not a lot of duplicates.
Still like the Hobby. Better chance for auto :) And I love the silver packs :)
I'm on the fence of buying hobbies or blaster lot?
14:37 The Mike Trout through the years is a Black border one, #/299
I’ve become a blaster box fan as of recent!!
The next heritage drop im going to get a hobby box because ive opened up blasters before and got basically nothing. But at least i can complete my collection. :)
What are the top 5 rookies in the set?
Blasters really give the potential to stack up those rookie cards. rather than getting about 1 of each top rookie in the hobby box.
yep also trout trout trout
It’s been a fun product. We pulled some amazing chrome 52s on our channel! One was a really good looking Bo Bichette!!!
Just subbed to u
@@DalbecFan thanks!
Great video
I’d probably lean hobby just cause of the better odds at an auto while still providing decent value with rookies and inserts
How do you know if a card is a short print or not
I like the retail better. It seems to have more rookie cards, plus I the the insert parallel cards.
I got a Chrome in a blaster box that I bought.
Ive had the best luck with Fat Packs. Ive been finding them for pretty cheap. :-)
Would love to get a box of fat packs and open them in a video ;-)
Thanks for the video
Is it a bad thing that I can sit here and watch these openings forever ? hehe Love it !
Waiting for my boxes to arrive.
Weather brother!!!
I got every single rookie card from my hobby. But my relic was manufactured. I still liked my hobby box though
Blasters rule because of the 52 set. Both are nice collector opportunities.
I absolutely love the 52 set
Blasters....need to find some, but not at flipper prices!
To me the hobby box is a better investment for the 1 relic, but if you want more rookies go for the blaster box
The 52 set is fire
I personally like the 16 cards 24 packs box. Or just doing fat packs. But my luck mostly comes out of cellos.
I had a lot more luck with the blaster boxes. plenty of Mountcastle, including his gold, Carlson, Mize, Pearson, Bart, Pache and a few of Adell out of maybe 5 boxes.
Based on this opening I like the other products better than Hobby Boxes. In fact, with 2021 Series 1 I've actually had MUCH better luck out of 5 14 card packs, 2 Hanger Boxes, and 1 Fat Pack than I have out of 3 blaster boxes.
Best to support the LCS - even if paying slightly more than online sellers
I like my LCS, but they gouge worse than flippers, retail boxes they buy from flippers then sell for 4x what they pay for them. Bowman draft jumbo pack box is 425 there, when you can find them for 100 bucks less. Wish I could buy off the Topps website but certain people wipe out anything new instantly.
@@paulthielker9319 same. Mine overprices them so much
@@paulthielker9319 All things being the same, i'd purchase from the LCS - especially the shops that have been in business a long time. sadly, most do overcharge - trying to make a quick buck in case of a collapse again. Good luck in your hunting!
@@JuannyRum23 it's tough when they have people they send out to buy retail boxes everyday so they can gouge us on them. My LCS gets 140 for a blaster of NFL prizm, just ridiculous, 2020 prizm. It's stuff like that that makes me not want to support them. The industry is getting ridiculous when card shops are flipping retail boxes.
@@paulthielker9319 - i Yes, that is BS -and those shops need to be avoided... but sadly, this is where we are with demand. Another collapse will occur. Just look at how many varieties of Topps/Bowman there we last year...companies are over-producing again.
Well you got a Hoskins relic at least your was better then mine I got a unnumbered Miguel Sano relic
My best card was a 35 dollar red foil Jared walsh but I got the blaster box for 20 so W
I'm thinking the luck with rookies seems to be a lot higher with blaster boxes from what I have seen.
I love the blasters
So was there no auto in that hobby box?
4 blasters are better in my opinion. More cards, they have the 52 cards, and even if theyre bad you do get 4 of the bonus cards.
Got a Jo Adell auto /99
Is there any differences between topps blasters vs retail blasters?
Walmart and Target will have promotional exclusive cards. (Parallel cards)
What rookies are y'all looking for besides Bohm and Mountcastle?
late reply nick madrigal
I almost had a heart attack when I saw the fake trout auto
Blast off with a BLASTER! Wooooooooooo!
2021 Topps might be the start of the hurt on the card collector industry. Topps have a tremendous increase in Print cases The reason is GOLD Cards /2021 are very hard to find before at least 2 -3 in a Hobby now maybe one. Hence Mass print of series 1 is this 1987 Topps all over again
Plus the price gauged dealers on eBay jumbo box 250 is absolutely insane. So wait it out prices should fall eventually
Seeing that my LCS is charging $160 for hobby boxes and $50 for blasters of series 1, I’m resigned to searching for retail in the wild. Is anyone else seeing prices this high?
I pulled a cal Ripken jr 86 style auto out of a hobby box, any idea what it’s worth? Can’t find it anywhere on eBay not even in past sales.
looking on comc and it looks like past players 86 autos going between $40-$60 good pull bud
@@BrandonLuisi thank you! Thanks for the reply
@@garryoldham8779 no problem been trying to appraise my cards too. Best pull so far 1952 design black border Casey Mize rookie #13/25. Also an Independence Day Jacob DeGrom #23/70.
@@BrandonLuisi wow, nice hits. Big on Casey Mize and an Independence Day is hard to get, lots of luck.
@@garryoldham8779 you as well!
I pulled a independence day card of hunter harvey it's 4/79
Just became a patreon cant wait for my packs to come I will open them on my channel thanx jabbs family
BLASTERS FOR THE RC'S AND INSERTS
You have a great voice for announcing
Legit can picture him broadcasting pregame shows or espn highlights
@@Gius_13 absolutely haha
For some reason TH-cam unsubscribed you from me, so i didn’t know u uploaded.
I like to open Blaster boxes and keep the hobby boxes sealed as a future investment. Why? I don’t know. 😆
Smart!
My alcs is about 150 per hobby and 200 for jumbo hobby
I opened 2 hobby jumbo's and 4 blasters and the blasters were way better for me
The Through the Years Cal Ripken Jr. Was a special Blue boarder....
i love the hobby boxes
Never bought topps as a kid, always had donruss
Fat packs are the way to go. Fat packs are $6 for 40 cards. Blasters are $20 for 100 cards. So 2.5 fat packs is same amount of cards as blaster for $5 less and all inserts and parallels can be found in both.
Target exclusive Mega Boxes have been better than anything else, including Hobby Boxes & Jumbo Hobby. My experience, anyway.
Absolutely.
I bought 5 hobby boxes from my lcs’ website so I’m so stoked
That’s some big bank
I feel like the blasters are better because he got more rookies.
I think 4 blasters is a better buy.
Aphria is the best investment
