@westernnycards This is my first time ever to spend the money on Topps Chrome, especially Hobby. I love the look of this set, so I have splurged and pre-ordered Blasters and 1 Hobby box. Planning to do Monster Boxes as well, when I can afford to.
I’m not buying any at all. Way overpriced. Huge base checklist. Just watched Stryker open a hobby box $300 and maybe barely get $75 back. I’ll be picking up singles on eBay and at card shows instead.
Thanks for the video! I'm in for the monster boxes for the number of x-fractor cards. I would've bought a hobby box of this chrome but I got smoked on 2 Topps Chrome Platinum hobby boxes, and my confidence was shaken. I saw far more impressive pulls with blasters.
@@westernnycards why don’t they include them I mean I have 2 strokes of ohtani and an 35th ohtani and an all etch judge damn I didn’t know this I think all topps chrome mvp should be included like what the base cards suck compare to those 🤣🤣
Prices are up, checklist is 80 cards more. Gonna be tough this year. I did order two hobby boxes. Maybe I’ll check out some monster boxes. Thanks for sharing!
Have a Hobby and 3 blasters on the way. Looking forward to it! Saw a break of Breaker's Delights and they pulled an SP Holliday. I can't imagine trying to pay 350 bucks for 20 cards, or 6x that for 120 cards, which would still leave you well short of half the set, even assuming you got unique collations. The set looks very nice, as do the inserts. Stryker opened a Hobby, and I was shocked how few #d cards were in there, I think 2, including the auto. He got tons of RC refractors, though. Didn't see any negatives, but the Breaker's Delights and Jumbos had plenty of those.
Wasn't going to buy any because I'm hurting my bank account with this hobby, but the monster boxes look decent, and the cards look great. The 2024 design transitioned well to Chrome. I might have to buy a couple just for the sake of the channel 😆
I'm just about a little over an hour away from Dave and Adams and I would probably use them If I do a buy back since I have bought breaks from them or product.
I think im going to get a Monster box or 2. Hobby and Jumbo are way overpriced. Blasters for $40 is rough. Cannot wait to see your profit challenge on this. I also want to see how much logofractor is for this year.
💯 overpriced, 300 card base set with way too many inserts which takes away from possible hits. There is no value in this at all & as ALWAYS buy singles 🤑
Agree...the addition of 80 cards is the biggest factor...but Topps Chrome is like Christmas part 2! Let's go!
I’m pumped!!
Hell yeah!!
Man these prices are tame compared to 2020 I remember hobby boxes going for 400.00
Can't wait to watch you open these!
I’m hoping tomorrow!! Fingers crossed
Stryker just busted open a case of Hobby and ripped one box. Beautiful cards! Insert, auto or refractor in every single pack.
Nice! I’m excited to see these!!! Can’t wait to get my orders

Good luck man!! Should be a fun set!

Singles def seems smart for this set, it’s gonna be very hard to get fair value back
@@westernnycards I just want Gunnar cards mainly. He will carry a premium though because mvp buyback possibilities.
@@scarrmd yeah and I think he hit another HR last night lol guy is a stud
@scarrmd Gunnar, Soto, and Judge will be stashed away for me for a few months, I think. Unless I get one
@@alvarhanso6310 I wouldn’t unload any of those three players unless you can get same or more than buyback value.
awesome info for someone just getting back into the hobby! thank you sir!
You’re welcome
03:33 LCS ?
Are you asking what LCS stands for?
@westernnycards yes. Local card shop?
Correct!
They are nuts with their prices! I will buy the only player I want Langford. Thanks for the information
He seems like a great investment! So fun to watch

I’ve always had good luck either pulling buyback xfractors or decent rookie xfractors
Do you know if the chrome strokes are part of the buy back?
I don’t think so, I believe inserts are ineligible
@@westernnycards why don’t they include them I mean I have 2 strokes of ohtani and an 35th ohtani and an all etch judge damn I didn’t know this I think all topps chrome mvp should be included like what the base cards suck compare to those 🤣🤣

Good luck with those hobbies!!
Is the 35 year card a buy back? I’ve heard yes and no. Thanks
What do you mean the 35 year card?
I’m still waiting for HFA chrome cards and few more case hits to make up for the crazy prices.

The refractors look sharper than ever! Def pumped about that, but not pumped for the prices lol
The blasters are the worst price and getting 3 of them could’ve got two megas
@calebjolley5593 they don't ship for almost a month. I'll try the Megas, maybe two of them. Though not at 70-75.

I feel your pain 😂 the design looks awesome
I'm here for the singles when they become available. Good luck on your rips. Doing a series 2 monster tomorrow?
Series 2 monster! Yes sir
i can get a blaster 35 cash no tax at my lcs should i ?
Not a bad deal at all
Wait what, DACW is your LCS?!? I’m insanely jealous lol
Yeah I work right down the road from them! Lol my house is about 35 min away
When do you think these boxes will hit Walmart and Target shelves?
Probably Wednesday or Thursday I’m hoping!
@westernnycards Same! I'm ready for it! I'm trying to hit that gold Wyatt Langford I've seen in pictures 🙏
Wyatt is gonna be a hot commodity
I’m undecided about buying Topps chrome, prices in Canada are ridiculous. $105 for a Monster box 😜
Wow that is absolutely insane
I didn't buy it last year. It's been out since Friday in Jersey. My shop doesn't get it until Thursday.
I wish it got out that early here!
BTW, sent you an email, but $425 with coupon 😂
Damn! They got coupons?! Lol
@westernnycards I sent it to you. BTW, going to change this channel name. Delete the history. I'll let you know when I do.
Lol why would you wanna do that!
Could be Shohei again with Judge?
Yeah it will be interesting to see, right now it’s so close
I'm just about a little over an hour away from Dave and Adams and I would probably use them If I do a buy back since I have bought breaks from them or product.
They make it super easy! You walk in, say I have an mvp buyback, they take the cards, take your info and put the value on a gift card
@@westernnycards Gives me a good reason to check them out in person
What if the MVP is not in the set ? ( Grimace ).
They def will be! Lol
I think im going to get a Monster box or 2. Hobby and Jumbo are way overpriced. Blasters for $40 is rough. Cannot wait to see your profit challenge on this. I also want to see how much logofractor is for this year.
I have a good feeling about the monsters but we will see! I might actually get a logofractor this year if it’s not too crazy!
Might be the first year I take on the $400 for a hobby jumbo box.
This is the best chrome design in a few years! I don’t blame you!
@@westernnycards I bought two jumbos and hit HUGE!
Just FYI - it’s “See-p-uh” 😅
Im new and it's my first release day. Would these be at targets and Walmarts release week or will dummy's be buying them all in a day lol
People will be definitely hunting for these to buy them up lol
Some of these inserts looks like they belong in big league baseball
You’re not wrong lol
💯
lol! $200 buyback for a superfractor
@@jbkilluh might wanna hang onto that one 😂
$40.00 dollars for me is a bit high and not sure how many I will by if any. I don't like the way they are doing us collectors.
Yeah it’s tough
Do not like Crome
💯 overpriced, 300 card base set with way too many inserts which takes away from possible hits. There is no value in this at all & as ALWAYS buy singles 🤑
I’ll be ripping for the channel but singles is def smart!
All filler
What do you mean
