Nice break…I remember in 2018 I bought 2 value packs and got the Ohtani, Ohtani debut, and Soto in same value pack and a green auto and red Lindor ASG /25 in other value pack. Def beat the odds.
Damn… I bought a case of 2018 topps chrome update megas in early 2019 on BAM site for $835 shipped. I can’t believe how the price really shot up. I opened a lot but I got 19 boxes left. I’m not sure to hold to them another 10 years, sell half of my boxes or what. Great video Stryker, I love the whole 2018 series!
Nice break....I've been deciding on opening the last 10 value packs I have left of 2018 chrome update...I kept them to ride out the prices but as of late I think I missed my chance to make optimum profit
Stryker, I opened several of these in 18 and regretted it. I did however keep 3 Mega boxes left sealed. At least you got some Acuna Jr, pink Soto, and Ohtani. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful cards. Cannot imagine paying that much to rip them. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through this rip. And please do more individual video content!
Wow you always have awesome rips, I have cellos packs and megas sealed 2018 topps chrome. I opened tons of this stuff back in 2018. You make me want to open some up. Great video
Back in late 2019, I was finding these packs in Fairfield repack boxes. The ones with the clear packaging so can see what the pack end was. I only got an Acuna debut, Devers, and Albies rcs. Thanks for the 2018 rips. I love them!
I opened about 10 of these in November '22 at 99/per from Blowout. You did pretty well on the base but only one numbered card is tough. In general, would have at least expected 2-3 refractors /250. Thanks for the content - enjoyed the video.
Bird bird bird, bird is the word! Dope rip, love those Pinks. They look really good in '18 Chrome, usually I'm not a fan of the pink/magenta cards, but these are great.
Opened around 100 mega boxes and maybe around the same amount of the value packs. Hit a Soto orange auto /25 and Acuna Auto /125 with countless other stuff. Sold them too soon : (
2018 was great year for ripping,i started back collecting , hitting the acuna redemption got me chasing . Getting the 2018 packs on clearance was a bonus.
Awesome rip! The Soto probably saved the day value-wise. QC of chrome cards has definitely gone way down for both Topps and Panini the past few years, likely due to volume increases and material/labor shortages. These cards look great!
Love the videos Stryker I’m kind of excited I got my first really old baseball card today from 1910 I feel like I own a piece of history it’s one of those that come out of the cigarette packs back then thinking about getting a mantle next
I been using the Cardshellz products since November of last year and I will never go back to the stuff I was using cut sleeves so much easier to put cards special the die cuts
Great video. The pre covid Era. No breakers online, cards were reasonably priced and probably easier to find in stock. Quality has went downhill from then.
Man I could watch your rip that for 10 hours lol …just once can you or I be the guy that pulls the Soto , Ohtani , Acuna /125 xfractor auto ..huge link to finish it off fun rip take care
I love the 2018 and 2019 designs, but I'll stick to buying singles. The All-Star cards, the later Home Run Derby cards, and even the rookie debuts are a stupid gimmick that waters down the update stuff way too much for my liking. I'd rather they kept it to true rookies and traded players and simply short printed the top guys to keep the chase alive. Thanks for the fun rip, though. I was holding my breath for you the whole way! hehe
are value packs safer in terms of avoiding products that have been pre-searched? I would think they're a. a bit harder to search and reseal but also b. that it would be harder to "game" a case compared to something like hobbies or hangers. definitely feel very hesitant toward putting so much $ into a product that is pretty far removed from its release and liable for fraud :/
My card store must not like Acuna. I brought in a stack of his rookies all sorts and they were gonna give me only 3 bucks a piece for raw ones. No way was I doing that so I held onto them.

2018 is my favorite design. Checklist, quality, and parallels are all top of the top.
Wow those are such beautiful cards....They look so much nicer than todays chrome in my opinion.
Sometimes, less is more

Its alot of fun to watch an "older" RIP. I wouild have a hard time getting back to even here as I would want to keep all the Acunas.

Just purchased the Ohtani ROokie card graded 10 SGC!!! For my PC, came here to see if you pulled it & you did!! Nice💯🔥💯🔥💯🔥🤙🤙🤙

Amazing opening brother!! You KILLED those pinks and you got a two ohtanis. LETS GO

The single packs, not the fat packs.
That quest for the 2018 Ohtani Rook, amongst others is real! LFG!
Wish I have brought more of 2018 Topps Chrome jumbo box. I remember is around 500-600 a box 2020

2018 Topps chrome update is so glorious.... Great pulls!
Bird bird bird, bird is the word!
Dope rip, love those Pinks. They look really good in '18 Chrome, usually I'm not a fan of the pink/magenta cards, but these are great.
Fun Factor chasing a pink Ohtani or better is a A+ ...what I think u did on cards pulled probably B- nice soto at the end
Always love seeing Clayton, been A minute since seeing him surface. Thanks again for the content
Some luck was on your side with these packs, big gamble paid off for the most part! Thanks for sharing ⚾️👊
I ripped about 500 megas and 200 cellos back when these had the 25 off 100 discounts from my 9 area targets long before anyone cared about flipping
The good ol days…
Probably the most fun product to rip and the fact I’ve never seen the Soto auto super makes it even more fun
When Juan Pacheco Soto tears it up in NY this year that will jump back over 1K again. Congrats!
That was more like a 2 run dinger. A pink Shohei would have been a grand slam. Not bad for a crazy gamble.
Opened around 100 mega boxes and maybe around the same amount of the value packs. Hit a Soto orange auto /25 and Acuna Auto /125 with countless other stuff. Sold them too soon : (
Topps did everything right 2018 with the chrome.Just absolutely beautiful especially the pinks my God they are gorgeous cards.
2018 was great year for ripping,i started back collecting , hitting the acuna redemption got me chasing . Getting the 2018 packs on clearance was a bonus.
Nice RIP, you may not have hit it out of the park, but this was for sure an in the park home run. Lots of work but you got the job done!
Awesome rip! The Soto probably saved the day value-wise. QC of chrome cards has definitely gone way down for both Topps and Panini the past few years, likely due to volume increases and material/labor shortages. These cards look great!
*Likely due to making more money then ever before with less effort or care.
I fixed it.
Awesome rips! Love the video! Thank you for sharing, and congrats on all the hits
Chrome Secretary Birds overlooking the whole process. Perfect! I guess these days we're supposed to call them Administrative Assistant Birds.
2018 is such a gem
It’s so relaxing watching you rip, just saying lol, the music helps
Love the videos Stryker I’m kind of excited I got my first really old baseball card today from 1910 I feel like I own a piece of history it’s one of those that come out of the cigarette packs back then thinking about getting a mantle next
Of course you gotta rip these before i go to a card show... now im gonna be looking for 2018 chrome lol
Man...Soto at the end saved the day.

I remember opening these and it seemed like I hit a ton of Austin Meadows as well......The guy is Covid of card collecting

Love the 2018 Chrome rips!
The second I saw that pink Ichiro I was like, "Welp, I need that."
Pulling an xfractor auto is absolutely insane. Should have bought a PowerBall ticket!
Hell ya. All those Clayton juices were running down to the last pack. Good 'ole Clayton
Sigh...that exact Ohtani auto you showed was mine. I sold it at a show and immediately regretted it.
i ripped about 200 of these mega boxes in 2018 man did i get some great hits i was getting the megas at $17 good old days
THE GOOD OLD DAYSSSS 😭😭😭😭😭
Nice break! Would love to see the comps when you get a chance
I’d love to take the a few of these off of your hands! Fun rip there 🔥
How much per? I grabbed a couple of these the past two summers, each at about $125... got shut out both times unfortunately
pretty solid results. gotta be happy about that because it couldve been a lot worse.
Man this rookie class….ya can’t miss lol! Nice rip
I would be happy to take one of those Zack Cozart cards if you still have any!
Nice rip Stryker. That pink soto was awesome.
Love these videos you do !!! Stryker is the man !!!
I reallyl like the 2018 set design and big name rookies in it. Albies is awesome.
Not badd super fun Ripp,i have a little bit of this stuff left Rippin it little by little one of these days ill hit a biggie.💥thanks for sharing!!👍😎💥🔥
What do you do with your base or inexpensive rc/parallels? Feel like I’m hoarding everything I rip.
ASG cards from 2018 are part of the main checklist, not an insert set.
I realized that after, but yes thanks!
Hey……..the Clayton action that last pack received was magical just sayin’ 😁
Those were definitely not resealed. I’m super nervous about buying packs and boxes now. Where would you recommend I buy a hobby box or two from?
Stryker… THANK YOU FOR RIPPING THE BEST SET
I ripped so much of this I got both ohtani pinks and i was able to put together 2 complete sets with the inserts. I'm glad i got bored that day lol
Boom!! The kings back!!! 🎉
Awesome last pack magic 🎉
Steelecity has 2021 Panini Prizm draft baseball mega 20- box cases for $279.95.
🤢🤮 I don’t understand why anyone would want sports cards that don’t have team names and logos… they just look cheap and lacking…
did as good as you could have, without an Ohtani pink, good job- fun watch
Love the fact that this set only has 2 formats (mega & value), 1 insert (IA) & 6 colors (pk,rf,x,gld,rd,sup)
Before the destruction
Definitely keeping those in the PC❤
Great video thanks again
Great packs and cards, that pink Soto is sick, Congrats 👍
Great video! Awesome rip! Bit the birds are top notch!
nice break I like the pink Soto.
I remember when those boxes were half that 😢
Id wish i could afford to rip one of these but the megas are going for over 100$ i cant do all that for a 5 minute rip
Wow wow wow they were amazing looking Chrome cards!! Were they $300 a pack? Or $300 for all 8?
That's some last pack magic right there.
Awesome cards, I dig the ripping excitement!!
Nice cards, beautiful. Bunch of Acuna.
My favourite design yet chrome 🤩
I was just about to so you got skunked on the Soto base rookie and last pack magic bam!
Glorious video, StrykerMan. I love your enthusiasm! I might have some of these that I opened back in 2018...I need to search my boxes!
Wish topps never stopped these value packs

and thanks as always for the videos!!
I am an Albies fan myself.
Grats on the pink Soto
I would take these results all day every day man. Nice
been watching for some time, and just subscribed. Im sure its been asked 100x, but what is the rationale of Clayton neg being good luck Stryker?
He looks like Santa Claus with a big white beard in that negative image
I get that Stryker. but why is that your lucky “rub” card? Is there a back story?
LOVE THOSE BIG PINKS FAM ! LOVE THE SHOW HEY
I’d take one of those pink Albies off your hands if you don’t want the extras
Stryker video always a good time!
My card store must not like Acuna. I brought in a stack of his rookies all sorts and they were gonna give me only 3 bucks a piece for raw ones. No way was I doing that so I held onto them.
Loved the vid! I had a great time! ✌️😎
Great rip
Awesomeness 👌 🤜💥🤛the hits keep coming👌
Can you let me borrow that clayton card the next time i rip open packs! Nice cards!
Awesome video. Congratulations.
What a finish!
Kershaw for the win!
Sick cards 👍🏾
Home run! Nice job
