Some folks bought 10 boxes at $800. Everyone else tried to get in lower. Most folks had zero shot at these in the past. It's better this way than any other way to get as many people an opportunity
Yeah sorry I refused to pay that for just 32 cards. I'll wait for Bowman Chrome instead and heck even 1st Sapphire singles in the off season will drop in price. They're nice cards but the cost per card to me isn't worth the risk. Only if keeping sealed does it make sense to me tbh. Two autos of the same player is funny. Hopefully Perez Jr pans out. Thanks for sharing!
Respectfully have to disagree with the assessment of how they're sold and cost despite the secondary market saying otherwise. The more concentrated the boxes get into fewer people's hands the higher they get inflated. A PSA 9 Jackson Chourio from last year is $45. Sure, 3x the production, but a $140 PSA 9 for the guy who's top 3 in the prospect ranks shows the values for base aren't as high as we think. We'll see what happens when these guys come up in the next few years.
Once in a master box of Finest I pulled 2 Rowdy Tellez autos in the same master box. In 8 boxes of 2019 Archives Snapshots I pulled 3 Brad Keller autos. Last year Archives Snapshots I pulled three Bryan de la Cruz autos. You probably have more upside on your repeat autos.
Robert Perez Jr is my guy. He won the 2022 AZ Fall League Homerun Derby, beating out Heston Kjerstad. Very humble dude. Son of former MLB player. Right now he is at Mariners Double A affiliate Arkansas Travelers
You get the trifecta from me 1- 👍 2- subbed 3- im on the caminero train as well. He checks all the boxes and being in tampa is gonna be hige for his development.
I was on a plane when the Dutch auction was going on and sprung for the good internet just to have a shot to buy these. Tried multiple times at $375, but Topps’ antiquated, broked*ck web site wouldn’t let me pay for and complete my purchase. Like you, I had no problem with the Dutch auction format, especially in light of the smaller print run. But they need to upgrade that web site yesterday. Thanks again for the constant quality content.
Subscriber, watch every video you make, and like each one BUT respectfully couldn’t disagree with you more. Total money grab that caters to breakers and influencers with bank rolls the way this was rolled out. Hopefully not a look into the future for hobby collectors and rippers. Keep up the great work
Love the product, just can't justify the price to myself. Perez looks like an interesting prospect. Could have done worse with the autos, but would it kill Topps to shuffle the boxes.
I’m only a hater of the Dutch auction. I was a little upset at the floor price, because honestly, I can’t justify ripping a box of cards that costs $350, when my return is likely $87.50 or less. When they were $200-$250, I could talk myself into it. I have sealed boxes that I only paid $100-$200 for in the last couple years, that have appreciated past $300 and up. And even though I might have a few boxes from each set, and my cost is low, I still can’t bring myself to rip them. For the sole reason of, the sealed box is more than likely worth more than any/all cards inside. But sapphire WAS my favorite product to rip. I still have a sealed box of each Sapphire release from 2021, and 1 each of ‘22 Bowman and ‘22 Bowman Chrome. I guess I’ll hold those. The 2021 set of 4 could bring a premium if any rookies from those sets end up doing anything significant. I know Kelenic was hot for a minute. He was ‘21 Update, if I’m not mistaken.
Always my question with this type of product is did you get the value from the cost. $400ish per box? Without the upgrade shop...just a hard one to swallow. Topps and Fanatics has shown us the future...and they are gonna be VERY profitable lol. Thanks for sharing the rip as always.
Congrats on the hits. Robert Perez Junior, hopefully turns into a Hall of Famer. I think I’m just jealous. Because you paid for expedited shipping. I’m still waiting on my one box but I’m very excited to rip it after watching this.
I don't have the numbers to back this up but it seems like very few Pitchers ...mostly position players which is nice. Note: I commented before the end of the video and your mentioning the same observation about Pitchers. .explaining my edit.
Amazing product! Unfortunately I forgot about it Friday. Will be buying on secondary market. Thank you Stryker for all the info and preveiws. You da man, man👊🏼
Really cool product. We’ll see how the secondary performs on this. I’m not sure folks are going to go wild for singles, particularly if they bought into the auction for so much. That said cards look really good in this design and I hope you get value out of grading these before the end of the month.
Sapphire is such a great looking product. Huge fan. A Druw Jones auto would have been filthy. Sucks you got 2 Perez Jr. autos. Hopefully he turns out to be a hall of famer.
So much vitriol in the comments. I don’t understand it. Not every Topps product will fit into everyone’s budget. There are plenty of valuable products intended for all budgets: Topps S1, S2 and Update. Heritage, Opening Day, Topps Chrome, Sonic, Lite Boxes, Bowman regular, Bowman Platinum, Bowman Chrome Mega boxes, Bowman Lite boxes, Ben Baller Chrome, and most Panini products just to name a few. The Dutch auction wasn’t a bad idea. If $375 or higher isn’t in your budget, just be happy for those that got a few and wait for the next affordable release. The “Haters” that Stryker is alluding to are the guys on the Blowout Forums that hate everything about the hobby. Those people add no value to the hobby other than wanting to tear it down and make others hate the hobby with them. Great video, Stryker - keep up the great work!
Hey Stryker, nice rip! You should check out flying eagle rips just had a break of the same product, 5 boxes and hit the monster(JC) your chasing! Beautiful card!
I do expect weirder numberings due to the fact the print run being lower than average ya kno? It’s def weird but nothing in my eyes is considered a “normal” numbering
I thought you weren’t going to buy any of these? I also suspect two aqua autos of the same player is not just coincidence. It’s likely an issue with the collation and how they ship the boxes together.
I hate the Dutch auction for the simple fact that breakers exist. I monitored it fairly closely without buying anything just to see and it lasted seconds at the 350 floor.
What are the odds of pulling the same parallel auto of the same guy in 2 boxes?! Feel like the price is too high out the gate though if it was 250 a box that would be much more reasonable.
I like the product I kinda wish they would of just put them for sale at 400$ a box not a fan of the Dutch auctions ..the only other video I watched of these the guy pulled a Perez auto as well as kumar rocker …I think I rather have 2 Perez …thanks for sharing
Hopefully big things from Robert Perez! Good luck. Unfortunaely that price wiped me out and I had to pass. Since I never sell stuff it was beyond my price point :(
Was looking to see if you ripped any of these earlier today. Excited to give it a watch! Keep it up Stryker!
I am very disappointed in tops for raising the price so dramatically and doing a Dutch auction
Agree. And it was Fanatics, Topps is just the name but Fanatics is in charge. Greed over collectors unfortunately.
Yeah it’s getting ridiculous.
Fanatics is buying up everything sports card related.
If they didn't, the value of these would tank.

They shorted you a parallel no? Only 2 in second box

Oooooo a Matt Mervis in the Cubbie Blue Sapphire would be fire
Wow those came fast. Kaboom!!!
You get the trifecta from me
1- 👍
2- subbed
3- im on the caminero train as well. He checks all the boxes and being in tampa is gonna be hige for his development.
I pull a Robert Perez Junior out of Bowman blaster box, but it was base
Robert Perez Jr can rake. He's a good one to hold on to.
Thank you Stryker!

I got 2 jackson holliday auto's on a break 1 out of 25 and another out of 10 purple
Kyle Harrison is a great prospect, despite being a pitcher. And also, Los Angeles Angels, big market?!
First box was 🔥
You are a Phillies magnet I swear. I have purchased the Phillies in about 30 breaks and you have pulled more Philly parallels than myself. 😂
Beautiful product, but I haven't reached high roller status.........yet
2 Robert Perez Autos! That’s insane! You rock Stryker!
Those green to 60s are beautiful looking tho
Subscriber, watch every video you make, and like each one BUT respectfully couldn’t disagree with you more. Total money grab that caters to breakers and influencers with bank rolls the way this was rolled out. Hopefully not a look into the future for hobby collectors and rippers. Keep up the great work
picked up 10 boxes of this. These look good! great video!
Love the product, just can't justify the price to myself. Perez looks like an interesting prospect. Could have done worse with the autos, but would it kill Topps to shuffle the boxes.
Great vid man! Love me some Sapphire. Box prices should be $250 at most tho. Most of these appear to be rough so far.
That collation is crazy... The same exact auto twice.
Hey Styker, those cards are so beautiful, wish I qas able to get in on those myself!
I agree with your take on Junior. Tbh it feels like 2022 Bowman again Jones is (Khalil Watson and Camenaro is (Elly De la Cruz).
Druw jones is better than kahlil
Druw only has 40 at bats and is the son of an all time great but I agree Caminero is also a stud

Eduoard Julien is a stud. Wish I could add that card.
I'll be keeping an eye out for that Cedeno green on your store! Great rip brother!
Congrats on the hits. Robert Perez Junior, hopefully turns into a Hall of Famer. I think I’m just jealous. Because you paid for expedited shipping. I’m still waiting on my one box but I’m very excited to rip it after watching this.
I LOL'd hard on this one. "My new favorite player." 😂😂
I should have pulled the trigger on two boxes and sold one, this is a decent prospect group.
I don't have the numbers to back this up but it seems like very few Pitchers ...mostly position players which is nice. Note: I commented before the end of the video and your mentioning the same observation about Pitchers. .explaining my edit.
I'll live vicariously through you on this one, Stryker. Great video! 👍
Amazing product! Unfortunately I forgot about it Friday. Will be buying on secondary market. Thank you Stryker for all the info and preveiws. You da man, man👊🏼
Robert perez jr is your new wander franco…sweet rip bro!!
Really cool product. We’ll see how the secondary performs on this. I’m not sure folks are going to go wild for singles, particularly if they bought into the auction for so much.

Sapphire is such a great looking product. Huge fan. A Druw Jones auto would have been filthy. Sucks you got 2 Perez Jr. autos. Hopefully he turns out to be a hall of famer.
This year’s Bowman design looks mighty purdy in sapphire. Thanks for sharing the rip!
Did you get shorted a color in the 2nd box?
Your right... the floor is so high for this product....lol..I know what you meant
Man, you are a beast at pulling my Mariners! Those aqua (color match) Perez sigs are 2x sick! Thanks for the fun vid man! Love it, keep em coming!
I got 2 boxes as well and the same auto in both boxes. Poor collation!

Hey Stryker, nice rip! You should check out flying eagle rips just had a break of the same product, 5 boxes and hit the monster(JC) your chasing! Beautiful card!
It's a good day to be wearing a Blue Jays hat!
It happened to me as well. I got 2 boxes and got the same auto in both. Kinda pissed but oh well. Wish they were both DrewJones hahahaha
Perez has got some pop in his bat. That’s all I will say cause as a mariners fan it will be hard not to be biased lol
I do expect weirder numberings due to the fact the print run being lower than average ya kno? It’s def weird but nothing in my eyes is considered a “normal” numbering
Oh man, after paying such a high price i did the free shipping. Now I wish i had done express because I feel left out.
Man I wish I could have got one of these. Back to the blasters it is....
sheesh, save some robert perez auto /99 for the rest of us!
Great looking set! Congrats on your hits! Thank you for sharing
I’m a massive Phillies fan and follow your eBay. I would love to have first dibs on those Phillies if the go for sale if possible? Please and Cheers
I pulled the same auto out of 2 Bowman Sapphire boxes from last year also haha. Still at it Topps
I could rip cases of this. Awesome hits Stryker. Congrats!
Damn! Those cards are amazing!
I'm so glad I got a box
Subscribed due to the positive attitude and vibes! Thank you
beautiful cards. Very nice.
played against emmarion boyd in summer ball in like 15u dude went 5/5 with a homerun triple 2 doubles and a single
base sapphire hurts my eyes but the color is nice and red sapphire is gorgeous
Great video and exquisite looking cards. Yup that’s a word to you youngens. Crazy how you doubled up on the auto. Thanks again Stryker!!
Dang did they short you a 3rd parallel in the 2nd box?
I do love me a game of darts especially after beers.
Perezbis crushing it this year
Thats insane, 2 of the same players auto in the same variation!!! Very sweet Druw. Great break my man!
theres a new robert perez jr number 1 fan in town it appears
Stryker with the new new!
Stryker FTW 👍🤘
Nice...2 of the same autos though is kinda tough 😳
Drew Gilbert is a stud
First I've seen of this product
I thought you weren’t going to buy any of these? I also suspect two aqua autos of the same player is not just coincidence. It’s likely an issue with the collation and how they ship the boxes together.
I hate the Dutch auction for the simple fact that breakers exist. I monitored it fairly closely without buying anything just to see and it lasted seconds at the 350 floor.
Kyle Harrison (the pitcher) is supposedly really good too
Update: Kyle Harrison is the Giants #1 prospect
My new favorite player😂😂😂
What is the odds you pull the same guy? 😮
Been following Boyd. Hes really good in my humble opinion. Nice card
Thank you for the SSSSSSSP AUTO! Sweet bro. Keep up the great work. God bless those hands of fire. Lol
Nice rip...Those cards are always awesome. A bit too pricey for my budget. However, enjoy watching the rips.
What are the odds of pulling the same parallel auto of the same guy in 2 boxes?! Feel like the price is too high out the gate though if it was 250 a box that would be much more reasonable.
I like the product I kinda wish they would of just put them for sale at 400$ a box not a fan of the Dutch auctions ..the only other video I watched of these the guy pulled a Perez auto as well as kumar rocker …I think I rather have 2 Perez …thanks for sharing
PLEASE dont try and justify the price man LMAO. nice video!
Damn super jealous of that Perez Jr man. Have a nice pc going but doubt I can afford yours
If you have a price on it let me know
😂 now you have 2 I can get 1 cheap right lol
And the only pitcher is a pretty good prospect
599.99 at my local hobby shop 😢
Been waiting to see how long it would take to ship. For once Topps didn’t muck it up.
Ok dude ! ... repeating your self
I hit a Druw Jones base auto from Bowman sapphire
Beautiful cards. I am ok with the price point. Not everyone can afford a Ferrari so they buy a Corvette. Still a nice car.
Yeah this is like paying for a corvette and getting a mustang though lol
Anybody know how much they are?
Are those Perez autos both 57/99 ?
Sometimes the best things come in pairs!
When they are putting 3 colors in *every* box they need to do some weird colors that are to some weird numbers
Hopefully big things from Robert Perez! Good luck. Unfortunaely that price wiped me out and I had to pass. Since I never sell stuff it was beyond my price point :(
@Tele-gram👉@MR_STRYKERBREAKS stop it you fake!!!
lol those autos
very sweet man
Was that drew off centered?
