Ordered some monsters the other day but couldn't wait and ended up buying two blasters at local retailer. Pulled Corbin Carroll UV out of one and pink Holliday, Judge sepia, and green Ronald acuna jr UV to 99 all in one blaster!
Best format hands down. Especially for those of us not quite as invested in the hobby as our dear friend Stryker. Thanks dude! 2 boxes -20 xfractors -6 refractors (Elly) -1 green auto /99 -1 purple sonar /275 -4 raywaves -2 prizms
Bought a box from a local card shop. Pulled a base chrome Ohtani and Judge as well as a alternate printout Soto Two RC variations of Heston Kjerstad and a Blue Refractor to 150 Xander Bogaerts print 53/150 definitely a good box with the ability to do the mvp buyback and having a base of both going to get the Xander graded the Soto one is just cool in my opinion
Absolutely love retail format. Guaranteed sepia, pink or x refractors (dart throw for MVP buyback) plus a chance to get some good rookies and maybe an auto…
I just legit ripped 8 frickin boxes of these monsters and the best card I got was an Elly x fractor. Out of 8!!!! Boxes. Not one auto. 4 numbered cards of bums. I’ve also ripped 17 blasters and didn’t hit one numbered card or auto as well. I swear it’s the breakers who always hit
I’ve open about 10 blasters of Topps chrome . My best card out of all of that was a Jasson Dominguez ray wave refractor . Not one single judge elly or Ohtani base . Just absolutely brutal
You pretty much talked those x-fractors into existence. Nicely done. Can't wait to see you open more of these monsters. My fave release so far this year
I wasn’t going to invest in Chrome this year because of the price jumps ( and lack of funds) but I grabbed 2 Monster Boxes just to say I ripped some and they were a blast. Langford X-fractor and Holiday SITP were the highlights. Definitely not making my money back but I don’t care, I really like the Monster boxes.
Nice rip ! I opened five monsters yesterday two of them were a rookie, heavy variety. Got a lot of nice rookie xfractors and a judge xfractor, light board logo for pirates and Pete Crowe Armstrong auto to 499 another no-name auto to 99 and two numbered cards. Three more monsters will be here tomorrow. can’t wait
I’ve opened 10 monsters boxes, and I’ve yet to get any good rookie xfractors. They’re hot garbage for the common man. We don’t get the hot boxes like the influencers
I think Topps/Fanatics is about to be having a Great Reset. Pricing the majority of people that buy product out of the market. They'll definitely see a big slow down on sales with the economy and the prices they want for a box of cards. Then you either get a fire box or you totally bust. Those total bust boxes are also driving people away. No one needs or expects to make profit on a box but a total loss hits different. . love watching the rips though. I opened two monster boxes one had no rookie xfractors the other was all rookie xfractors. I really lost respect for your ways when you said 3 or 4 boxes isn't necessarily enough. Open 8. Really man 500$ to get a sample size. You've changed so much since you're early days. Someone is definitely taking care of your funds. We all don't have your abilities to be where you are. Don't forget where you came from. Have a lovely day.
I agree. Youve sold your soul to the pirates at Fanatics. Price fixing and eliminating their competition by having Ebay deny everyone the right to post their breaks on the Ebay site is not good for the hobby. They are catering to the gambling world, which I can understand due to the profitability. Just does not work for me any longer.
The monster boxes are one of the worst rips I've done. Most were off center and the numbered cards were nobody's. The boxes should be priced at 39. I don't understand why Topps numbers commons. Personally, I would avoid the Monster.
Your vids never disappoint! I got 5 boxes and was getting upset after the first 3 but the last two were loaded with rookies. Also had 3 autographs (all numbered)! Not the greatest names but like you said, I wasn't expecting autos so they were a great bonus.
I ripped 12 last night and 7 of them had all vets Xfractors and 3 only had only 1 RC each. Got 17 out of the other 2 for a total of 20 RCs xfractors out of the 120. The coalition is an unforced error on topps. Boxes should have 4ish RC Xfractors per box. BUT, I still think these boxes are great compared to blasters.
I think for the price point, availability and the parallels these are the boxes to get. Hobby and Jumbo are up there but you get what 15-17 parallels per box.
I opened 2 monsters the other day and both boxes had the exact same x-fractors in the same layout. Luckily for me it was Chourio, dominguez, and Colt keith. Take that!
I found 2 blasters of topps chrome at 2 different Walmarts so i bought them 1st box gor some amazing refractors, raywave, and prisms, plus and ohtani. The 2nd box amazing refractors a varsho green ray wave and a light board logo of butler. I glanced right past it i only noticed because i got a refractor of butler the pack before and a base rookie while i was sleeving rookies took me a while to figure out what it was. Prices on these cards are weird sold 160 to 40$s lmfao. Been reading up on him im intrigued no I'll try his rainbow lmfao 🤣😅
Im new to pack opening and need some guidance. How can you tell the difference between all these cards and what makes a Judge card like that special? Looked like the most basic card
Hey man I’m looking to pull any Elly de la Cruz cards whether it’s base or not. What pack would be the best bang for my buck to do that. I don’t want to buy singles as I enjoy opening packs. I got a ctc one from a fat pack and a summertime at the park out of a chrome blaster
Hey man, I have an odds/checklist question I'm hoping you can answer. In this year's Chrome Baseball, they have 20 players in the 1989 design, which means 20 Superfractors, right? There is also a line item for 1989 AUTO Superfractors. Is this another 20 Supers? (Are all line items mutually exclusive?) Second question - if there are 20 Auto supers, here are the odds for the 5 formats: Hobby (1:1387764), Jumbo (1:242224), Delight (1:30010), Value Box (1:3,451,371), Monster Box (1: 1,442,217) . Just adding, that's (5:6,553,5860). Is that how to look at it? And because there are 20 super autos, does that mean that the real ratio is (20:26,214,344)? Finally, does this mean that we can surmise there were 26.2 million packs created for Chrome?
Anyone know if the numbered SMLB cards have value? I know theyre less desireable because they're in all the retail packs, but I pulled a Black SMLB Mookie numbered to 25. Wondering if its worth grading
The sample size is a huge impact. I opened one and didn't hit a rookie box. But that was the risk. If you can afford it and are hunting parallels specifically: go at it! (All up to y'alls preferences). Thanks for the video and the info in the other one, too!
Opened one box direct from Topps and got absolutely nothing. These may not be worth buying guys, I know you can get great hits, but most of the time you will not. So be smart!
Lmfao. You sound dumb as hell. What did you expect to get from just opening one box. My 2 boxes was awesome. I have 3 more coming in today. If you can't afford the hobby. Get out of it. Because lot's of other people can afford these boxes.
They killed us on a terrible product with that hobby box.. how do you get more out of a monster than a hobby box? You have to rip a ton of hobby boxes to get something decent and on top of that way more variety here. I felt i was just getting the same cards over and over again in hobby boxes.. with their stupid pitcher autographs
saying people need to just buy 8 boxes instead of 1-2 is extremely out of touch. Topps botched the correlation on these and most people don't have the money to spend 600 on retail like you do. Fanatics price gouged this year and didnt have the decency to make a quality product for every level of collectors.
Nice video, collation is an issue that has been present the entire year with topps. most people can't open 8 for "sample size" lmao.
I hit a Dominguez blue to 149 out of a monster box from Gamestop last week, some of these boxes are crazy!!!! Congrats on that hit!
Great hit on J. Dominguez..Great things happen to great people!
Ordered some monsters the other day but couldn't wait and ended up buying two blasters at local retailer. Pulled Corbin Carroll UV out of one and pink Holliday, Judge sepia, and green Ronald acuna jr UV to 99 all in one blaster!

2 boxes
-20 xfractors
-6 refractors (Elly)
-1 green auto /99
-1 purple sonar /275
-4 raywaves
-2 prizms

same. they are brutal.
Sounds like we’ve had the same kind of luck. 🤢
Bought 2 boxes. All vet xfractors. No rookie. Very risky
@@hotjoe817 woof. That’s terrible
@@AFireInside91 bought 3 more. Finally got Ssp variation and Shohei Lightboard logo ssp
I’ve open about 10 blasters of Topps chrome . My best card out of all of that was a Jasson Dominguez ray wave refractor . Not one single judge elly or Ohtani base . Just absolutely brutal
Ya no use in buying blasters this year you could get really lucky but they’re nothing like last year 23 chrome blasters were fire
Think what card or cards you could have bought for ten blasters. The good old days when there $20-25
The 8 boxes are paid for. Easy. The Jdom auto and trout /50...amazing!
You pretty much talked those x-fractors into existence. Nicely done. Can't wait to see you open more of these monsters. My fave release so far this year
Thanks for sharing Stryker
Wowzers!! That JD auto is sweet!!
I love the monster boxes. I’ve had nothing but pretty good success with them! Best being a Dylan cease gold /50

You hit more in 2 blasters than I did in 9 monster boxes.
@@powerhitter033 monsters, not blasters, but yeah. I had some nice hits.
Great rip! You made me order 4 boxes via your Fanatics link lol 😂. I hope you rip more of these and maybe add some to mixers.
Wow! Fantastic rip 🔥 Little bit of everything.
I’ve opened 10 monsters boxes, and I’ve yet to get any good rookie xfractors. They’re hot garbage for the common man. We don’t get the hot boxes like the influencers
Topps commercial....killer stuff! Stryker = GOAT
Nice JD auto Stryker, congrats. Fingers crossed I at lest get a decent box.
Opened 2 from Amazon, got a Masyn Winn and a Jackson Holliday. Got 4 from Fanatics today, Fanatics has been killing it, Chrome blessed me

Invest in a CT scanner. All the cool kids are doing it.

You can see the same thing in some of the cards he pulled, the Jackson Holiday was way off center top to bottom.
Glorious hits love those monster boxes!
Nice JD auto on the first box whaaaat? Always fun watching a free roll rip from Stryker.
I swear you have the best luck with the rip!! Good stuff!
Your vids never disappoint! I got 5 boxes and was getting upset after the first 3 but the last two were loaded with rookies. Also had 3 autographs (all numbered)! Not the greatest names but like you said, I wasn't expecting autos so they were a great bonus.
New Subscribers just getting back into the hobby.
Wow nice JD refractor auto off the jump
This rip sold me. Ordering 8 boxes!
Happy Birthday, good luck on ur birthday rips!
I ripped 12 last night and 7 of them had all vets Xfractors and 3 only had only 1 RC each. Got 17 out of the other 2 for a total of 20 RCs xfractors out of the 120. The coalition is an unforced error on topps. Boxes should have 4ish RC Xfractors per box. BUT, I still think these boxes are great compared to blasters.
Watched that rip that was tough! Better luck next time
Great content and production value as usual
great channel! I cannot pull a dam thing out of these monster boxes!
Just pulled a Green Elly auto to 99 out of a blaster.
2:55 mark….wow!!!! And correct me if I’m wrong Stryker, but Happy Birthday to you!! Hope you had a wonderful day!
I think for the price point, availability and the parallels these are the boxes to get. Hobby and Jumbo are up there but you get what 15-17 parallels per box.
Awesome pulls! 🥳🙌🏻
I’m buying MORE Monster Boxes! 😅
Box 2 was the best box ive seen.
Solid pulls!!
I opened 2 monsters the other day and both boxes had the exact same x-fractors in the same layout. Luckily for me it was Chourio, dominguez, and Colt keith. Take that!
Good morning Stryker
Java Joe's return: 4.1IP, 2H, 1BB, 1K, 0R. Looked pretty good too.
Bought two monsters yesterday, pulled a rookie auto out of each one.
Great case!
Good Lord...HotB out the gate. Nice hit! Thanks for the vid
Of course Stryker would pull 🔥 and make me go get a monster box
Great rip - happy birthday!
nice mike trout gold strokes! $55 card raw!
Thinking about buying a jumbo…..
You racked up on xfractors Stryker!!!! Nice rip!!!
Awesome rip 🤘
i thought u were steven rinella for a sec lol awesome video
Happy Birthday. Sweet rip
I pulled a True Blue JDom Auto /250, sold it for $475 Raw, biggest hit to date by far.
Wow man. Nothing that bangin outta my 2 but id be lying if i said im not gonna buy a few more
Monsters are lit, awesome hits 🔥
these are spicy imo
ordered 2 monsters from fanatics today.
I ordered 12 boxes @ 64 bucks a piece and have not got an Auto yet I got a few decent of 99 cards but damn man the autos are hiding heavy
ray wave Kershaw was nice!
I was going to get 2-3 of these but Stryker said get 8
I found 2 blasters of topps chrome at 2 different Walmarts so i bought them 1st box gor some amazing refractors, raywave, and prisms, plus and ohtani. The 2nd box amazing refractors a varsho green ray wave and a light board logo of butler. I glanced right past it i only noticed because i got a refractor of butler the pack before and a base rookie while i was sleeving rookies took me a while to figure out what it was. Prices on these cards are weird sold 160 to 40$s lmfao. Been reading up on him im intrigued no I'll try his rainbow lmfao 🤣😅
What do you do with the unwanted cards from each break?
What size top loaders you using for chrome?
I swear you killed the monster boxes from fanatics last year might not of been fanatics but It was monster boxes …congrats I love monster boxes
Topps and Panini doing anything and everything to bleed the hobby dry.
keep the Dominguez and root for him, centerfield New York Yankees
Nice Martian auto!!!!
i enjoy watching stryker ..he does a great job with the videos..but it seems like he always hits, where as others don't. does he ever rip and not hit?
what do all of yall recommend buying for most fun/value, im curious what people think
Im new to pack opening and need some guidance. How can you tell the difference between all these cards and what makes a Judge card like that special? Looked like the most basic card
Mvp buyback program. Odds are like 1:1 that his dominating season lands him mvp honors. Had to look it up myself
Monster boxes are fire🔥🔥
Question, do base rookies, Chrome or regular ever hold any value? Not autos, just the base rookie itself?
Hey man I’m looking to pull any Elly de la Cruz cards whether it’s base or not. What pack would be the best bang for my buck to do that. I don’t want to buy singles as I enjoy opening packs. I got a ctc one from a fat pack and a summertime at the park out of a chrome blaster

lol just stopped at the Dominguez luck achieved congrats
I’m interested in the Langford & Carter cards, if you’re inclined to trade or sell. Enjoy your videos.
Ordered 2 and one had an autograph and some nice rookies. The other was a dud
Ordered 1 they sent me 2 auto win
When you get a rookie x fractor box it is worth it
Anyone know if the numbered SMLB cards have value? I know theyre less desireable because they're in all the retail packs, but I pulled a Black SMLB Mookie numbered to 25. Wondering if its worth grading
"try 8 monster boxes maybe" like we're all breakers with tons of money pffft. the more I watch Stryker the more annoyed I get with him
I can’t even justify one right now.
he would buy many boxes before he was a big breaker...
and most people who have watch these videos have enough to buy cards....
@@MalakiOlsen a lot of people watch other people rip, because they cannot.

Mine come tomorrow!!!! Can’t wait!!!! And just FYI a case is 20 boxes. 8 is just the max you can order on fanatics!
I opened 8. I didn't hit anything nice.
Way of the world and it keeps on spinning. Get 8 more might be the redemption from last time 🤷♀️
Opened one box direct from Topps and got absolutely nothing. These may not be worth buying guys, I know you can get great hits, but most of the time you will not. So be smart!

That’s what makes it fun to open packs. I found1 mega at GameStop & pulled a Pete Crow-Armstrong Black Raywave #/10. Sometimes you get lucky.
@@jroc919nc very rare occurrence
I got 2 boxes at Gamestop and also got nothing good...
What about the buyback credit cards? You just passed over them
U should open the first box and sell the rest. It down hill from there=)
Do you have a sports card store or an ebay store. I would like to trade for that McGriff auto you pulled from Topps Finest yesterday.
I got the orange Fred mcgriff /50 should be in the mail today. opened my own box on Friday and got the non # Mcgriff auto also
Can you ask for an Elly De La Cruz auto for me please #/150 for me please?😂😂
So that's why I can't even find a blaster...
