People paying more than retail for this product are crazy. It’s not even worth the $50. You get a lot of parallels, but it’s unlikely you’ll hit the players worth hitting. It’s like 1 out of every 5 boxes is good. They’re glorified blasters.
Appreciate all the info and numbers. For me, it just gets down to what is affordable and fun to open. I've only opened one of these, and hit a huge card. Great video as always, appreciate the PC rips
If anyone still wants to get Chrome, Walmart has the Spring release monster boxes for under $70 each. And you can get up to 12 per order. Especially with the MVP buybacks being in then. (FWIW: I got 3 numbered cards and a 4th autograph from 2 boxes I opened earlier this week)
I just stopped at a random target as I was on way home and they were literally stocking the baseball cards so I had to wait in line. 10 people in front of me - all waiting for poleman 😂. Grabbed 4 boxes and got money back plus. 3 autos also
Basically 50$ for a blaster box because 28 cards is not a monster box. I bought a Jackson Merrill magenta lava lamp for 50$ on eBay the other day and I’d say the odds of pulling one of those out of one mega box is pretty bad so I’ll just stick to singles.
I pulled two Jackson Merrill xfractors out of my two boxes and a Yamamoto. I could tell from the correlation that they were not in those boxes. It goes Merrill, Yamamoto, Keith and I think Langford follows. That was in one pack. I think it is worth it for the $50 dollar range.
Just curious, but with this release being late/end of the season, and the hot cards to get are already known, would Topps load the cheaper items like the $50 Mega boxes with more common rookies and load the more expensive products with the more sought-after ones? For instance, they knew by this release that Skenes, Holliday, Chourio were top hits, so would they load these in Mega boxes to a say 1:4 ratio of other less/low sought-after rookies.
These megas are hitting pretty good! In my opinion. Yesterday i bought 4 boxes. Pulled an Elly x fractor parralel & skenes x fractor & a Jackson merril black wave 9/10 and 2 pitcher autos.
@TurdFerguson643 its my second batch. Im 8 boxes in so far. 1st 4 came from game stop 2nd batch Target it was targets 2nd batch i had all those hits. Im moving on to a case of 6 hobby next
@@damiangray3605 sigh. *opens target webpage* I hear the autos have been hard to pull from Mega, so nice on the two you’ve pulled. Is it me or do the xfractors look crazy great in update?
My take these aren’t worth more than $40 a box. Those 16 parallels are more than likely only worth $1-2 each. Factor in one nice insert or rookie hit worth another 5-10 per box if your lucky
Thanks to Cubby, and I appreciate the honesty about the description of the parallels in megas calling them "low level."...I personally like these parallels but they will not set the world on fire in terms of worth
I saw on the top 10 pulls of the week that the Skenes RC Gold Vinyl 1/1 was pulled out of Topps Chrome. (NOT THE 1/1 MLB DEBUT PATCH AUTO!). ALSO the 1/1 Skenes Gold RC or whatever was ALREADY pulled from 2024 Topps Holiday. Like holiday is dead for me now
Bought 2 boxes on Walmart online today for $50 each. According to Walmart I saved $200. They were selling for $150 a mega. I hesitated at $50, knowing there is just a small chance of pulling the player you want. If you did spend $150 for a mega box, a fool and his money are soon parted.
Thank you for sharing the review! I was on the fence spending money on less. I have been having a blast with just good old Update! But, might have to open the wallet for some chrome. You da Best brotha!
Help, new to the modern stuff! For example, if I buy a numbered aqua refractor should I even keep my prism refractor or sell it to get my money back? Are prism refractors even worth holding on to if I upgrade to a numbered refractor? Asking for a friend. Haha!
Normally I'd be all over x-fractors as a reason to rip this, but they made over 300,000 of these boxes...so every player has over 17,000 x-fractors in the population. I'll buy the singles of my guy, but 28 cards for $50, even if 20+ are non-base, just rubs me the wrong way.
Love you breaking products and giving the per dollar price. You’re the only one I watch that does that and I appreciate that! Also, don’t know if you would be interested in a Spencer Torkelson rookie auto
thanks for the video! another good one!. Product Could be fun to open, but with amount of cards that comes in it, have to be really lucky to get a nice one. I've opened mine and the boxes were meh. Gratz on what you pulled though. better than my boxes! haha
You typically pull autos out of these chrome Megas i would say we need a part but that would be bad advice ..i still remember you oulkjng a dominguez out of one year if these
One thing i’ve never understood about card collecting if it takes $1000 to rip to find like an “orange numbered card” why doesn’t each orange card go for somewhere near a $1000. If you don’t pull a rookie big name most of the time it wont even pay for the box. Thats what i’m not a fan of… just my opinion tho
Well dang, I left all 20 some odd boxes on the shelf yesterday at target and I’m sure they are gone now. I’ll have to make a trip and check I guess though
2 min into the video: These are awesome! 10min into the video: Horrible! I know I know... unlucky with the names. But still, this is overprinted garbage i would never pay over 60-65 a piece for these. Good luck to the degens that will
Wow. It is hard to believe anyone would pay more than $50/box for this stuff. You aren't going to generate half that value in most boxes. I'm a singles collector. So, I don't really care!

With so many parallels it seems like the base cards are the true stars

Ripped a chrome hobby box last night got a skenes stratospheric stars /99. Glad I went hobby instead of megas
I'm about to drop $20,000 on some product to get that Orion Kerkering Debut Patch. I know what I'm about son.
Got a skenes image variation in the 2 megas i opened, sadly it has a bunch of scratches from factory.. gonna be sending that one back to topps
Nice hat. Go Braves!

You need some more Fanatics boxes.

Love your stuff man, fellow Michigander here, love what you do for the hobby and the work you put into your stuff!!!

The collation is the issue. Decent player hits is like one out of every six boxes.
Thanks to you and Cubby putting together the value sheet, enjoy the content.
I feel like the prism refractors, regardless of the type of box it comes out of, all have print lines in this release.
I made the mistake of buying a few of these. I am kicking myself for not just buying more Fanatics Blasters with the money.
These things are just way too much of a gamble for 50. My box was absolutely horrible, I’ve opened better retail packs. Thanks for sharing though!
Am I the only one who thinks that the all chrome border xfractors look better than the 1st Topps Chrome release xfractors? They look sharppp
You said you wanted a good Xfractor! You got K!!!!
Thanks to Cubby, and I appreciate the honesty about the description of the parallels in megas calling them "low level."...I personally like these parallels but they will not set the world on fire in terms of worth
I literally laughed out loud when K reared his ugly head. That reaction was priceless!! 😂😂

Will you be making a part 2 and opening more of these?
That VS2 and Winn xfractor would look great in my PC! 😆

these boxes are truly feast or fab
Great vid! I pulled a /99 Cade Smith auto from my mega box. Pretty pleased overall but definitely got lucky.

Star players only like the 3 Jacksons, Elly, etc

I ordered 12 from topps. I have one box left to rip but the majority of my x fractors are 30/70 OC or worse.

I’ve ripped like $2k this year in products Skenes is in and haven’t even got a paper base card, crazy stuff lol
hey stryker love the vids, for topps card which top loader is better 35pt or 55pt?
Kikuchi
You typically pull autos out of these chrome Megas i would say we need a part but that would be bad advice ..i still remember you oulkjng a dominguez out of one year if these
You know you can hit a patch out of the maga box to long shot!!
What I can't figure out what are the short print and variations I already opened 10 boxes and nothing great just average
Opened 1 box and got an Elly RC Debut Gold Raywave. I mean that hooked me.
I got a hobby box on way in the mail got it for $320 🤷
One thing i’ve never understood about card collecting if it takes $1000 to rip to find like an “orange numbered card” why doesn’t each orange card go for somewhere near a $1000. If you don’t pull a rookie big name most of the time it wont even pay for the box. Thats what i’m not a fan of… just my opinion tho
Because it turned into a stock market not a hobby
Hobbies you usually don't make any money on
You have definitely curbed my temptation to buy some boxes of these.... So thanks I guess??
Have 2 on the way, but the secondary market has me wondering if i should even open them, but im a collector first, so I'll open em 😂
please open more fanatics boxes
Bought 3 megas got 2 autos one was a Yamamoto /99
whats the thing with stryker and yusei kikuchi
Well dang, I left all 20 some odd boxes on the shelf yesterday at target and I’m sure they are gone now. I’ll have to make a trip and check I guess though
Honestly, you saved yourself some disappointment...I've seen nothing good come out of these boxes.
The K Pain is real.
I'll wait till target/walmart gets them
I think they can definitely be profitable. Now, can you please let me borrow $500 Stryker?!?! 😂

$100 plus and climbing in some LCS. I was able to grab 4 boxes for $70 each last week. Outta control
They're not worth it at 75$ + .. we need to remember this is overproduced retail garbage
Agree. This product just isn't worth what all these places are charging for it. But people keep paying it so the price will keep climbing.
@@spitzer1113 Well, that is until there is nothing to chase anymore
And my dumb ass was opening these. I should be scalping them too, damn.
Hell yeah, be a part of the problem...
You know, instead of saying it's the wrong red or wrong Dodgers or wrong pirate, just say oops
Wow. It is hard to believe anyone would pay more than $50/box for this stuff. You aren't going to generate half that value in most boxes. I'm a singles collector. So, I don't really care!
Embrace the K.
do i sell or open my boxes ?!?
No early Gilded box opening ??!
i got two unopened don’t even know if i should open 😭
I got a crap sticker auto out of a box. Waste of money.
I have opened 6 of these and I’ll never buy another. Absolute garbage. No skenes. No Merrill.
