The minute is saw a 35 dollar platinum chrome anniversary blaster, i knew you were right about a 40 dollar chrome blaster, the writing was on the wall for everyone to see
Hobby changed in 2017. It really ramped up in 2020. Same thing happened in 1988 fell apart in 1994. 2002 it ramped up again. Fell apart in 2009. Don’t worry it’s coming and all will be fine again. Lots of breakers big and small have left in the last few months. Shops that popped up in 2021 are gone. Watch and see what happens at the National. That will be the first sign.
I'm just living under the assumption Fanatics is building towards having Panini hobby box prices on their products. Just wait until Topps Chrome Jumbo will have Prizm-like prices at $1500/box. I think we are just a few years from that happening. FYI, Breaker's Delight boxes are approximately $450/box
I guess this is the year I no longer buy topps Chrome Blasters or any type of packs. May be time to go strictly vintage because Fanatics is charging everyone out of modern collecting. Great video G-n-R
I told y’all blaster prices were going up. Wait till news comes out blasters in the near future will be only available at Topps Gold Card Shops, Lids, Dicks, and Academy. Retail stores will only be 4-6 products per year in the future. Big League, Heritage, etc. No chrome or flagship.
The blasters said they had 1 autograph per box by accident, pulled the link and then adjusted so that it didn’t say that. Then he complains about the cost of chrome. There I just saved you 20 minutes plus commercials of a still image.
If more of us would stop buying into breaks and stop buying from resellers, fanatics would stop thinking collectors are willing to pay more and buy from resellers so why wouldn't they think we're willing to pay more and more and more for hot products it's logistics folks!!👍😎💯🤑
Sad. Gone are the days of grabbing a blaster here or there at Walmart just for the fun of the rip. Prices have gone up and values haven’t followed. I was looking forward to chrome but now I might not rip any
Prices should be going down because not as many people are buying cards and resale values are tanking. Just buy individuals for dirt cheap is the way to collect these days. It is an expensive luxury now like being a serious golfer you gotta be rich
At first I was like. O god more complaining. The more I think about it, he’s right. These companies don’t deserve any money till they price stuff reasonable. For him to complain and say he’s buying for content is an oxi moron and there are other sets for “content”
The best way to go in the hobby these days is to buy singles or stick to buying psa grades or sgc grades because the days of buying hobby boxes or blaster boxes is over Topps will continue to scam because they know that there is a lot of suckers in the hobby that they can scam to and fanatics is doin more damage to the hobby than you can think of
But what do you mean “until the economy gets fixed?” Clearly the prices will continue to increase as long as people have the disposable income from a strong economy.lol Unless the economy starts to slow down or plummet, the prices will stay high because more people have the money to continue to throw away at this crap and Fanatics know it. Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, but you don’t want the economy to get any better if you’re looking for these companies to stop price gouging their customers.
Topps kinda lied no it's a scam that Topps pulled because they know that the collectors ain't gonna buy blasters at forty a pop even fifty a pop Topps is just burning the hobby to the ground and it's a shame in my opinion
They will still sell no matter what they charge . Its obvious they have catered to the breakers . Just the fact that they sell the better hits in a breakers box makes me sick . People are watching every day for breaks to list for this set . The fact that some spend several grand each night on breaks proves they dont care what it cost . I thought that was what dynasty was for . They are pricing out the small time hobby guy and getting rich from the rich ! Imagine if the hits from breakers delight were still in the other formats , wow what a nice set this would be .
We're the laughing stock of the collectibles community, and that is absolutely embarrassing, We're now below the hot wheels guys, the funko pop guys, the comic book guys are now the pinnacle of the hobby, they're on top of the mountain now, and it's all thanks to fanatics, i hope they're happy with themselves
Turn off fairness I understand what you're saying but you can't compare platinum anniversary the flagship Chrome we've been paying almost $40 a blaster for 3 years for Chrome
I wish people would just boycott this crap. Unfortunately breakers will keep them in business. Chrome has gotten so expensive for what you actually get.
The intern who forgot to remove that one guaranteed auto line is gonna be fired tomorrow. Jokes aside - sue Topps’ pants off. Dumpster fire of a company (Topps is innocent, they have been in the business for too long to make these dumb decisions - definitely Fanatics and their fanatical greed)
Grip N Rip, why on earrh would you think chrome update is gonna be better, given fanatics track record of screwing us over??? It will not be better, it will be more expensive garbage
The DRAMA here is HILARIOUS....from the guy SPONSORED BY SEAT GEEK!! LOL!! People can't afford to spend $40 on occasion to crack open a few packs? Do you realize that many Americans spend far more than $40 a month on Beer, Wine, Weed....CONCERT TICKETS, etc?? Stop whining. People waste money on all kinds of stupid shit. This isn't that different, nor is it that important. As long as people keep buying this stuff, the prices will gradually climb. A HUGE part of the increase is the many "breakers/influencers" who are opening loaded boxes in videos and then fools run out to buy the products thinking they can score the same prizes. Rinse and repeat.
When retail hits the shelves, they are going to put out just barely enough to create a craze because they know that collectors and resellers have become impulsively easy to manipulate!!👍😎💯😵😵💫🤯

lol, Sorry, but if anyone truly thought there was going to be 1 guaranteed autograph per Blaster.... I have a bridge for sale.
😂
I hope everyone who ordered those boxes screenshotted the guaranteed auto thing, it woulr make a great class action lawsuit
Oh don’t you worry I have the screenshot (check community tab)

you reall y making me hate topps and baseball cards and the way they do things . turns me off. thanks u the man
Personally I think that Topps/Fanatics are catering to the breakers and forgetting the customers who have financial issues and problems 😢😢
Absolutely
Don't you think if you have "financial issues and problems" maybe you shouldn't be buying cards?
It's bo jivens fault for making everything so expensive
Trump will make cards good again look at 2018 and 2019 while he was in office, we could have thoses glory days again folks 🇺🇸

I agree with you-it is becoming a luxury. I want to collect, but the prices are pushing me out of the hobby. It is a shame.
Let's just all get together and not buy, boycott
I guess this is the year I no longer buy topps Chrome Blasters or any type of packs. May be time to go strictly vintage because Fanatics is charging everyone out of modern collecting.
Great video G-n-R
Chicago Cubs Starting Pitcher Shota Imanaga in the All-Star Game! Go Cubbies!⚾
I told y’all blaster prices were going up. Wait till news comes out blasters in the near future will be only available at Topps Gold Card Shops, Lids, Dicks, and Academy.
Retail stores will only be 4-6 products per year in the future. Big League, Heritage, etc. No chrome or flagship.
No chrome for me this year!!! Just have to say no to that nonsense. Thanks for the vids!
Major qualtiy control issue with the cards from the silver packs!! Wrong player and stats are on the back of most of the cards!!
Topps website sold over 8000 cases on the site. $$$ It’s mass produced if you look at the odds.
Marcell Ozuna is my All Star vote this year! For the A! Thanks for the content bud.
The blasters said they had 1 autograph per box by accident, pulled the link and then adjusted so that it didn’t say that. Then he complains about the cost of chrome. There I just saved you 20 minutes plus commercials of a still image.
If we collectors don’t do something blasters will be $75 next year and flagship will probably be $40 plus.
I agree with the breakers comment but... even if the breakers haven't sold out the pre-sale what does that tell you about the product
this is one of the few times i absolutely agree with you
If more of us would stop buying into breaks and stop buying from resellers, fanatics would stop thinking collectors are willing to pay more and buy from resellers so why wouldn't they think we're willing to pay more and more and more for hot products it's logistics folks!!👍😎💯🤑
Insane prices for chrome blasters thats $47.70 with tax thats per blaster box at walmart in Pennsylvania, stay away from Walmart.
Sad. Gone are the days of grabbing a blaster here or there at Walmart just for the fun of the rip. Prices have gone up and values haven’t followed. I was looking forward to chrome but now I might not rip any
Prices should be going down because not as many people are buying cards and resale values are tanking. Just buy individuals for dirt cheap is the way to collect these days. It is an expensive luxury now like being a serious golfer you gotta be rich
They did a disservice by making heritage set so hard to complete

Thing you have to remember is that GNR is focused on Topps baseball only
Mitch Keller is our representative! He’s been worth the money
Can’t go the store with $20/$30 anymore. Have to have a Benjamin or two.
9k subs soon lets go, also i was excited for topps chrome but now i probably wont buy it at all
But what do you mean “until the economy gets fixed?” Clearly the prices will continue to increase as long as people have the disposable income from a strong economy.lol Unless the economy starts to slow down or plummet, the prices will stay high because more people have the money to continue to throw away at this crap and Fanatics know it.

You may want to check credit card debt levels……..
He means when trump wins. Economy win be infinitely better than what we have now.
Hopefully the courts consider fanatics a monopoly and gives everyone licenses for mlb and NFL
Wait till 2024 Topps Chrome update! $$$$$$
Topps kinda lied no it's a scam that Topps pulled because they know that the collectors ain't gonna buy blasters at forty a pop even fifty a pop Topps is just burning the hobby to the ground and it's a shame in my opinion
Where did you get this info?
They will still sell no matter what they charge . Its obvious they have catered to the breakers . Just the fact that they sell the better hits in a breakers box makes me sick . People are watching every day for breaks to list for this set . The fact that some spend several grand each night on breaks proves they dont care what it cost . I thought that was what dynasty was for . They are pricing out the small time hobby guy and getting rich from the rich ! Imagine if the hits from breakers delight were still in the other formats , wow what a nice set this would be .
LOL when you said "make trading cards great again" I got you. Dont buy them bud.
I hope Glasnow from the dodgers is the starting pitcher for the NL
I get tired of the complaining sometimes.....but this is legit. $50 for a blaster makes the MVP buyback a bad deal.
Boycott coming!
$65 at my hobby shop for retail. Absolute bs!
Action figure community is not laughing!!! I'm in both communities lol
Blame it all on Bidenomics!!! It hits EVERYTHING!!!
We're the laughing stock of the collectibles community, and that is absolutely embarrassing, We're now below the hot wheels guys, the funko pop guys, the comic book guys are now the pinnacle of the hobby, they're on top of the mountain now, and it's all thanks to fanatics, i hope they're happy with themselves

The Cruz card looks great!!! but the title of the card needs to be changed.
I wish people would just boycott this crap. Unfortunately breakers will keep them in business. Chrome has gotten so expensive for what you actually get.
We heading towards a bubble burst again
The price is a freaking Joke !!
They will sit on the shelf. Well they got rid of scalping.
The intern who forgot to remove that one guaranteed auto line is gonna be fired tomorrow.
Jokes aside - sue Topps’ pants off. Dumpster fire of a company (Topps is innocent, they have been in the business for too long to make these dumb decisions - definitely Fanatics and their fanatical greed)
Grip N Rip, why on earrh would you think chrome update is gonna be better, given fanatics track record of screwing us over??? It will not be better, it will be more expensive garbage
A-A-Ron Judge!
Blasters up on Fanatics Canada $ 64.99 Cdn plus tax , last year $56.99 Cdn plus tax
Hard pass on this product this time Topps. All star player Ohtani & Judge
U always have retail exclusive also
🤯🤯

Just killing the hobby..sad to see what Fanatics has done
How are Leaf products these days?
Jones keller reynolds
$50 bucks hahahaha that’s a joke not worth your money!
No one buy them, let's send a clear message to fanatics
What happened this time Grip N rip?
Sounds like you have mommy and daddy's money.....these prices are disgusting
