I might buy these when they hit the 80% off discount bin.

[@mattmoret2069]

Yup

[@davidtropps4380]

Bought two hobby packs today. In the first had an autograph Paul Molitor - 38/50.

[@jaredwrnr]

That sucks retail isn't good for 2023 Topps. I bought 2 blaster and hangers. I pulled 3 genesis hits out of a mosaic cello pack👍

[@EthanWhite22]

i just ordered a couple of boxes. even tho i might not pull anything of great value (since the odds aren’t in my favour) i just like collecting cards and i’m excited as a baseball fan for when they come in :)

[@CORE1.8MINISTERIES]

I do wish that the blasters had the same odds as a hobby or jumbo Box. The reason being, they push hobby
over retail and make it like they are the Harvard's of cards!

[@Honestblades]

Why would a company give you the same odds in a $25 product as a $100 or $150 product? That would defeat the purpose of making the hobby formats. That would be like Chevrolet selling a new Corvette for the same price as a malibu.

[@thomasb6169]

That’s a bit crazy well over $200 for a jumbo box my card store is selling them for $150

[@SmackyThaFrog24]

What card store?

[@coleysays10]

Blaster's are rough this year, I have gotten some big hits from Jumbo and Hobby this year. Great video!

[@UpNorthCollectors]

Thanks!

[@dannysunay4386]

I am glad the stars of mlb look better to me. Last year's were nice, but this year's are a little better

[@MapleLeafRips]

Ripped a few blasters last night, zero hits! Looking forward to opening some Jumbos

[@ASMRPeople]

I think the only series 1 retail I'll buy are the meijer blisters.

[@alexj1188]

I'm thinking of buying these Box.
Is there anything I should look for
Are the cards worth anything

[@FlipTCG]

I pulled a printing plate out of one of these

[@caaasillas3205]

Bought one hanger today and pulled a judge major league material

[@UpNorthCollectors]

Congrats, nice pull!

[@johnpuntillo1105]

Another 13 min rant from Mike on Stars of the MLB lmao

[@UpNorthCollectors]

Lol not the whole video try like 4 minutes out 13 😂

[@art08474]

Pulled a Home Field Advantage out of a blaster this evening, not all that bad!

[@UpNorthCollectors]

Congrats! Nice retail pull!

[@art08474]

@@UpNorthCollectors Thanks! It was a Bryce Harper, not too bad. I usually buy retail, not expecting much. Just here for the love of the hobby !

[@shananigansrips]

I didn't get much in my blaster I opened recently. Live streaming 2 hangers tomorrow. Hopefully we get something better! I need to get a hobby box and try my luck with that! AND....I'm with you! I hate that they brought back Stars of the MLB!

[@chrishayes4166]

These blasters might be a fun cheap rip at 9.99. At $25 it's a 95%+ loss rate and easy pass. Fanatics i guess is hoping the market for these being the uneducated parents, friends and family of children impulse buying these as gifts for their kids at target and the like.

[@305CardCollector]

Boycotting retail of this product

[@UpNorthCollectors]

I understand

[@dannysunay4386]

I buy retail. And that is all. But it looks like hobby is cheaper this year? Is it not?

[@UpNorthCollectors]

Hobby boxes are around $90 so that’s about 3.5 blasters. Not sure how much cheaper it is than last year maybe $15-$25?

[@SmackyThaFrog24]

No way I'm buying any retail, not with those odds

[@bigche5280]

I completely passed on all 2023 Topps retail at store. ITS GARBAGE! Panini is looking better now haha

[@art08474]

Is Walmart releasing these this week?

[@UpNorthCollectors]

Yes on their website you could get series 1. But in stores next I’m guessing?

[@popsdyer731]

Retail stinks this year, very disappointing for a design I was excited for.

[@UpNorthCollectors]

Yeah it’s too bad they made it so much worse than prior years. They could have made changes less dramatic.

[@brooklyndy]

Anyone buying these blasters at this price point simply doesn’t value money…

[@Montanacellist]

Oh yada yada yaha, he's all complaining about Stars of the MLB.

[@UpNorthCollectors]

Sorry 😞 no more complaining

[@FloatingHeads1963]

Blaster are the absolute worst format odds wise. However, with such a large portion of the print run allocated to retail, there are more hits in all of the retail products vs the hobby side.
Also the /88 numbered cards do not have vintage stock. That's why they're sneaky.

[@UpNorthCollectors]

Thanks for the info, I thought I heard someone say the 88 cards were like vintage lol but obviously that’s wrong or I just misunderstood. Thanks!!!
