Agreed. Don't forget the increase checklist too which makes not worth ripping to chase mvp buybacks too. If the product sits then fanatics will maybe realize that they need to drop the prices a bit.
I get not liking the price, but it’s not greediness. It’s just supply and demand. If they priced them lower, people would buy them all up and they’d end up at 40$ on the secondary market anyways.
@thomaskreke4635 it's actually greed the price last year was 35 and that product still sits at 35$ and this year its increased by $5 they are pushing the price to max profit as much as possible
@@midwesttrainchasers8587 of course they are pushing the profit to the maximum. They are a for profit company, not an entertainment charity for men with minor gambling addictions. And if the product sits too long they will lower the price - they don’t like not selling product either.
just opened 2 blasters and pulled a nice looking Wyatt Langford Purple /250. Bonus is my LCS has them at $36.95 each. Now waiting for Mega...love the Xfractors
Just ripped 5 blasters. One auto- Espada. Gold Volpe /50 All-etch Julio /25. And a ton of parallels. Much better then a hobby box. Thanks a for the vid
Stryker, I've opened 5 blasters today and did about the same as you did. Several buyback bases and one Judge Sepia. Lots of Refractor RCs, several RC Raywaves and a James Outback /50 Raywave. Also got a Acuna Negative. No autos and no numbered cards. Overall, not a bad haul. I will buy more.
nice boxes! I checked my target today and there was no chrome baseball, but they had bundesliga chrome soccer blasters for $25. They guarantee a numbered card and I ended up with 2 and a $15-20 auto from my one box, was very impressed. Hope to find some chrome baseball soon! Keep ripping!
Dude…you say it all the time about other breakers. I’ve watched a ton of chrome ripped because they’re not out retail here yet. Good God🤦♀️. I just watched one that breaks a TON, which I watch a ton. Damn were you right. They Don’t give a crap about crap. Keep doing you my man…. SOOO much better no matter if a crap rip or not. At least a ‘true’ observation rip or it’s not. Base or color, but Lord. Boy and I look forward to watching the breaks every week!! 💪
Thanks for the video! Now, this break was what I expected from the blasters. I'm still thinking that the monster boxes will out perform the blasters. I'd love to find these blaster below MSRP tho.
Still better than the ones I first saw opened but yeah no where near yesterdays batch but hey that’s how it goes ..still got a lot of rookie parallels ..the 2 buy backs saved this batch I think
Dude. You killed it with those first 10 boxes! And the 2nd half wasn’t bad either! Always enjoy your videos man. Now time for me to go find some chrome in the wild for myself 😂
Awesome vid! I have been watching your channel for several years now it’s always entertaining and informative! I had to go buy some blasters after watching and glad I did…pulled a Mookie Hidden Gems I’m guessing it’s rare haven’t seen anyone pull it! Thanks for all you do!!
Ive been doing breakers delight breaks, even though I'm not a fan of breakers getting exclusive stuff. But ive gotten some really good cards. 1st break w/ Cubs, got PCA magenta speckle/350, youth quake /99, and purple speckle auto /299. 2nd break w/ Brewers, got a a Chourio gold refractor. 3rd break w/ Padres, got a Merrill refractor auto. 4th break w/ Dbacks, got a Lawlar mini diamond auto. Total cost for all spot was $470. I think im done because i dont think I'll do much better than that.
I'm wondering if they put the rookie raywaves in blasters to juice them up and non rookies will go in the monster boxes? Just a thought. Great video as always!
I opened up 7 blasters and didn't get one double! Isn't that crazy? I hit 12 straight pink rookies and my 7th box were non rookie pinks. Overall from 7 boxes I pulled 4 #rd parallels and one auto. A ton of good rookie pink and sepias.All of my prisms were rookies too.
I really think it is a cool idea to log the stats of these boxes! since you have the opportunity to go through so many boxes. I would really be interested if a box with more special cards weighs more than another that does not. Have you tried this experiment yet?
I really like this product. Seems blaster boxes are the way to go. However, there is a huge amount of rookies in there. I hope they are not flooding the market with these like they did back in the junk wax era.
I got completely skunked on my blaster boxes, no numbered cards, no buybacks, no autos. Ok on rookie prisms and pinks but certainly not getting $40 in value back.
Unfortunately these will never be $18 per box. Maybe years and years down the road if no rookies pan out but this rookie class is really good and young.
I’ve been out of the hobby for about 20 years and just got back in about a year ago. Can someone explain to me what the Topps buyback is and how it works?
Yep it was for sure. Plus there was a period where you could get last years for 30 bucks a box or even less if you dug around and found a case for a good price. Also don't forget going from 220 to 300 card checklist really waters down the mvp buyback program making it even more difficult to recoup some of your cost for the boxes/case. Just not worth the rip to me.
Really King? I didn't get these from Fanatics, like I said in both videos I got them from Card Giants. Fanatics hires 3rd party auditors to insure that no one gets "loaded" boxes. This has been discussed multiple times by CEO Michael Rubin and others. You think they are going to commit fraud and jeopardize a billion dollar business so some scrub on UA-cam gets a nice refractor? I can't believe you'd make a comment like that.
@@StrykerBreaks there's a whole lot of baseball left we just swept the dodgers in the Phillies got the best record in baseball you can't win just being a DH that's kind of lazy Harper got hurt and tought hiself how to play freaking first base
How is it that 99.9% of pinks, sepias, yellows, rainbows, royal blues etc are no-name pitchers, catchers and zero star rookies? Do they short print the bigger name players in these or is it just my imagination?
Fun fact, 1:280 packs for the lightboard logo is EXACTLY 1 in 40 blaster boxes, which is a case exactly. That's the definition of a case hit.
Man i wish topps wasnt so greedy and had to make these $40. Chrome is my absolute favorite but im not touching it at this price this year
They know people will buy it and they do which is why they keep it at $40

I love the fact that you ORDER your boxes instead of showing up to a retailer and emptying the shelves. Much love.
Who does that?! /s lol
Lol😂
Well is there really any shame in this game?!?

New Sub here....loving Topps Chrome this year🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Opened up two today. Pulled a 99/99 Gunnar sonar variant. Shohei sepia, Elly Summertime, and a Trout, Witt all etch.

Great rip! 🔥 Very solid hits on the ray wave and the refractors. I ripped 4 so far and had similar results. Much better than expected.
Thanks for the video! Now, this break was what I expected from the blasters. I'm still thinking that the monster boxes will out perform the blasters. I'd love to find these blaster below MSRP tho.
I really appreciate that you use drum & bass for your music when you speed up the pack opening
Still better than the ones I first saw opened but yeah no where near yesterdays batch but hey that’s how it goes ..still got a lot of rookie parallels ..the 2 buy backs saved this batch I think
Awesome 20 blasters. I can't wait to see the monster boxes. 🤘👍
First lightboard logo I have seen. Nice hit.
I opened a 250 dollar box and got some pretty sweet stuff including a Jordan westburg rookie auto /199
Also got two rlly rookie cards and a gold Tatis/50
Another good video on the blaster . Thank you and Thank you for your time doing this video...

Anyone can buy breakers delight. They just sell out fast, they aren't exclusive to breakers.
I love the Ray wave, I’m going to try to put that set together

Don’t count out Bobby for the MVP.
Currently has a 5.8 WAR slashing .337/382/575
Hitting over .500 his last 15 games.
He's not winning mvp he's not as popular as ohtani
@@midwesttrainchasers8587 correct he’s not. And Ohtani is also in a different league.
@steveyonkman okay he's competing with Aaron judge I forgot royals are al not nl
If Judge stays healthy it's his to lose. If an injury happens though I could definitely see Bobby become the front runner.
Found one blaster on my Walmart the other day (slightly damaged)…got a Jasson Dominguez Ultraviolet first pack 🤙🏼
Your second run of boxes were like my 6 blasters, pretty mids. Your first 10 were 🔥
I bought one blaster from Fanatics, pulled an Elly Summertime and Ronald Acuna jr ultraviolet along with some other inserts
Found some old Duran that had super high price tags that are back to accurate. Also found a Kwan Gold in my $2 box 🙃
I opened up 7 blasters and didn't get one double! Isn't that crazy? I hit 12 straight pink rookies and my 7th box were non rookie pinks. Overall from 7 boxes I pulled 4 #rd parallels and one auto. A ton of good rookie pink and sepias.All of my prisms were rookies too.
I have a Duran RC # Auto I pulled last year from a blaster
I assume the 35 year anniversary cars are also not in the buy back program
I don’t think I’ve see a Judge yet in any breaks for the buy back? The buy backs seem few and far between.
Should I get the chrome blaster box or the big league baseball blaster box
Chrome all day
I really think it is a cool idea to log the stats of these boxes! since you have the opportunity to go through so many boxes. I would really be interested if a box with more special cards weighs more than another that does not. Have you tried this experiment yet?
I pulled a Colton Cowser ray wave and a prism of Wyatt Langford in a blaster.
Awesome rip, thanks Stryker!!
I opened up 5 blasters - 0 numbered cards. 0 autographs 😭
L bozo
I opened 1 blaster a few hours ago. Got 1 numbered auto 1 buyback possibly (Judge).
I opened 4 got nothing but garbage!
All my Ray Wave been RC Elly, Winn etc
Hello. So what benefits does patron 12.99/mo get you?
My lcs has these at $35 🎉
Planning on opening any 2024 Donruss?
$40? I bit the bullet and bought two but they have been so popular on my youtube stream for pack rips I need to get some more.
I got the gold shohei ohtant raywave it was 24/50
I hit that same Elias lightboard out my blaster
I really like this product. Seems blaster boxes are the way to go. However, there is a huge amount of rookies in there. I hope they are not flooding the market with these like they did back in the junk wax era.
I think megas will be the better "value" for retail. I use the word value loosely though.
I got completely skunked on my blaster boxes, no numbered cards, no buybacks, no autos. Ok on rookie prisms and pinks but certainly not getting $40 in value back.
Crazy if you think a DH only is gonna win MVP
@@uaaronvalentine9645 Vegas thinks. If you think you’re smarter than Vegas then more power to ya.
So the 89 topps cards do or do not count to mvp buyback?
They do not I’m told.
@@jeffreiling5348 darnit
I like em' when they are discounted to $18 per box.
Unfortunately these will never be $18 per box. Maybe years and years down the road if no rookies pan out but this rookie class is really good and young.
@@StrykerBreaks maybe a bit too optimistic, kinda agree.... but I've found a lot of 2023 at $18. It's all fun, but at 18$ it's over twice as fun ;)
Are the ultra violet all stars hobby only?
Great vid stryker 1st too
Twenty more blasters, please 😊
I’ve been out of the hobby for about 20 years and just got back in about a year ago.
Can someone explain to me what the Topps buyback is and how it works?
Have you had a chance to go through your extensive Ramos collection
400 in boxes. Less than half that in return, and this was a solid rip per standards.
Appears that the layer variations are low numbered redemptions
20 blasters of garbagio!!!
I thought you got an Ohtani in the first or second box last night.
$400 plus for that....good luck guys
As a Yankees fan I hope that Judge does not get hurt. lol
Opened 8 no ray wave rookie
This affirms that I will not buy so much as a single blaster of chrome this year. Singles only at card shows instead.
For $40, these are an absolute rip off. Last year's hit rate was far better at a lower price point.
Yep it was for sure. Plus there was a period where you could get last years for 30 bucks a box or even less if you dug around and found a case for a good price.

Well I bought 6 blaster and got no numbered cards and no autos. Defiantly not a good representation of blasters you most certainly got hot boxes
I've been suspicious of these boxes ever since he's been a fanatics affiliate
did you not seem rip 8 boxes with out a numbered or auto 🤣🤣🤣
@@eheim21 kpmg and I believe you're a conspiracy theorist

What in the world does “all etch” mean anyway?
It's a throwback to a 90's insert
there better be hangers of these.
there wont be
Rip it!
I miss the gum.
I think you should have just went with two Jumbo boxes 6 autograph pay the same price
So ridiculous! Got zero RC ray waves
10x $40 = $400
Was there $400 in return?
When you say you get a back back MVP? Do you mean MVP of the 2024 season in baseball? Or MVP of the pack?
What are your thoughts on CT scanners being used to scan packs?
Well in my country i pay 49 euro each... so ... yeah...😑
🍀🍀🍀🍀
$40 for blasters is just too much, $35 was too much last year. I’m just not buying any at all
Bryce Harper winning his third MVP u can't win MVP only as a dh
Ohtani is currently a -490 favorite to win it and Bryce is +550
@@StrykerBreaks there's a whole lot of baseball left we just swept the dodgers in the Phillies got the best record in baseball you can't win just being a DH that's kind of lazy Harper got hurt and tought hiself how to play freaking first base

I was about to comment the same thing. This years blaster boxes look just full of low end rookies especially with the ray waves and pinks
Well , if these people aren't buying them all , they'd be some left
These are not worth $40! $20 tops
