@@NomahsSportsCards That card is quite a bit more expensive than i thought, i mean i knew he was a good pitcher, but when i watched and commented i was thinking it was a $50 card, but he got a little bit of value on his shorter print stuff, i may just wait for a few weeks and scoop up a purple /250 or something, im sorry for the pump fake man...
The debut patch cards are what’s driving the price of this release unfortunately. The prices have skyrocketed since release. When I looked at Blowout Cards the other day, Hobby boxes were $289 and Jumbos were $589! Totally ridiculous and a shame the prices don’t stay as they are at release. A lot of us common collectors are pretty much priced out of getting boxes anymore. Soon time for just getting singles of my favorite team as the fun of ripping is going away.
I agree. I’m grateful there are still big league, flagship, and heritage so that if you want to rip a lot of cards and don’t have a fortune to spend, it’s still possible.
I don’t like the sticker autos - regular chrome had beautiful on-card autos so this sucks. For the MLB Debut Patch cards - wish they’d have the rookies wear patches for their 1st week in the Bigs that way they can do Patch cards /10 then do a gold patch on their first ever game for a 1/1. But even w/250 patch cards, with them being 1/1, it’s not a realistic chase card even if you’re breaking a case. Brilliant idea though, just another example of how Topps products are so much better than Panini…
Well, your idea is absolutely brilliant. That would be so awesome if they would do that! You should write to them and suggest it. That’s really, really good. By the way, are you going to be at the card show next Saturday and Phoenix ?
I picked up 3 hangers of update topps mlb, (not chrome), and pulled 3 skenes, elly, 2 holiday, 2 churrio, sota and few other rc. Pulled a blue numbered churrio.
I bought some mega but can’t see paying over $200 for a hobby. I found chrome blaster for $30 and can buy 7 of those instead if one hobby. Thanks for the video
No point in buying wax unless you're prepped to set money on fire, which used to be no big deal until prices exploded 😕 Buying singles is the way to go, but obviously isn't entertaining content
I watched a six box case break and there were multiple duplicates of inserts and parallels. It was a fresh case. Collation issues abound with Topps this year.
I like the look of the cards but the price point doesn't fall in line with my current financial status. Maybe I'll purchase some diamonds on the Bunt app and be 1of the lucky few to win a hobby box.
I bought my 1st stadium club at wal mart the other day and scored 2 autos. A oakland rc and wow a orange refractor/10 ronald acuna my biggest pull ever from a blaster
That diamond dominance is a nice card but per usual, the Topps case hits (outside of planetary pursuit) do not age well. That card raw sells for $10-30
@NomahsSportsCards I felt your pain on this box. I was going to pass on this but my lcs gave me a good price on a hobby for my bday. Probably the only box I'll open of update chrome though. Love the content though.
@NomahsSportsCards ty, today's my actual birthday so ty very much. I share a birthday with macho man randy savage as well. So one of the 1st singles I bought was a randy poffo aka macho man Cincinnati Reds cards. A bit of useless information there for ya
So disappointed in this for the price point got a hobby box and got nothing. None of the three big rookies bass cards, a crappy number card and a low-level prospect Auto that was it.
Cade smith is a damn good pitcher but if you’re charging $200 a box, a sticker auto is an absolute disgrace from fanatics. Especially an orange rookie auto /25. I get why you said this box wasn’t great lol
If fanatics and topps are gunna charge this much per box at least throw some more of the top rookie autos watch tons of this product being ripped and the odds of hitting even a cowser auto is impossible all the autos are no name nobodies
Sorry to hear that. Yeah, if I didn’t have the channel to supplement my collecting budget, I wouldn’t be able to buy stuff like this anymore. It’s really a bummer.
@NomahsSportsCards I hope I can find some when I can afford some more boxes. I mainly do retail, don't like paying up charges for the same boxes at card shops.
Sometimes you get brutalized and 2024 Topps Chrome Update is not profitable. Even with a big auto hit, you still won't make your money back. You'll end up with a nobody mcnobody auto and a few parallels worth 3 bucks. I recommend staying away.
Yea not happy at all with this product. Got 6 mega boxes and all 60 xfractors had severe print lines. Contacted topps they said they couldn't do anything because they wouldn't grade lower than an 8. For the price should be alot better.
I've seen nothing but bad boxes of this release, thus far... Also, all the autos are on-sticker autos. Also, the set is filled with a bunch of unknown rookies, that have been called up from the minors, since the last release. I have seen every single person, that's opened one of these, get multiple Skeins, so it's going to be high pop for those skeins, especially since they aren't numbered.... Seems like a fast, cash grab for Topps. Definitely a disappointment.
A 5? For that money? That’s a 2. I’ve seen a lot of boxes open on YT and that was the worst I’m so sorry. I just bought one my one and only prob due to costs but I hope I do better lol. Love your vids thanks again.
Thanks! Yeah that was a rough one. Someone pointed out though that the auto is of a guy with a sub 2.00 ERA in the bigs last year so….who knows. It might pan out! Good luck on your box!
Hey John Unfortunately as someone else emailed me before you, they are the winner. Keep watching though and please try again as I try to do giveaways often! Thanks for watching!
I appreciate you putting that out. I think this is a better card/opening that I might’ve realized, especially if he pans out and becomes a dominant closer. You never know!
Please SUBSCRIBE if you’re new! Thanks for watching 🎉
That cade smith is awesome, i collect pitchers, id love to have it
It’s a much better card than I realized at the time. I’d trade it for right card, though! Shoot me an email!
@NomahsSportsCards i subd and i emailed u already sir

I swear to god i just hit this exact orange cade smith /25 auto...but in BUNT lol
Jus responded :-)
I’ve people pull some good names and parallels, however, from what I’ve seen a lot of them are off center. Pretty disappointing. Thanks for sharing!
I agree. They kinda blew it with this one!
I pulled a Yoshida Diamond Dominance like the Gunnar you pulled from a hobby I believe.
Nice! PLMK If you want to trade it!
Nice Dominance 🔥🍀
Thanks!
2024 Topps Chrome Update: underwhelming and overpriced!!! 😢
Best and most succinct review I have seen!
Cade gunnar couple skenes! On to the next!
Indeed! 👍🏻
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

You got a better chance of being struck by lightning twice then hitting the 1 of 1 autos
😂 very true ⚡️
Diamond Dominence is a nice hit of Gunnar! But yeah, I totally passed on Chrome update since I didn't get the preorder price of $150
I think you dodged a bullet! 😂

Where did you get the card stands?
Etsy
@ thanks!
You bet!

Nice! You did really well!
@NomahsSportsCards walmart had a shelf full of hangers. 15 each isn't bad for what I pulled.
😎
I bought some mega but can’t see paying over $200 for a hobby. I found chrome blaster for $30 and can buy 7 of those instead if one hobby. Thanks for the video
Very nice! Yeah, I think that’s the way to go with this product!
No point in buying wax unless you're prepped to set money on fire, which used to be no big deal until prices exploded 😕 Buying singles is the way to go, but obviously isn't entertaining content
I agree! It’s still fun but not a good investment
Oof. Tough love from the hobby box
I agree!
Bought 3 megas got two autos one was a Yamamoto /99! Megas are the way to go for $49
Holy cow! Congratulations! I’m looking forward to opening some mega boxes
Cade Smith pitched 75 innings and had a 6-1 record with 103 Ks, so he was quite dominant!
Yeah I looked him up after. Maybe not such a bad box after all! If he’s the next Mariano, I’ll be stoked!
I watched a six box case break and there were multiple duplicates of inserts and parallels. It was a fresh case. Collation issues abound with Topps this year.
I agree. They did not do a good job on this product!
For the price point alone U needed to pull something crazy!!!! but at the same time there isnt really a lot to pulled to break even or win the box.
Sadly your quite right.
I like the look of the cards but the price point doesn't fall in line with my current financial status. Maybe I'll purchase some diamonds on the Bunt app and be 1of the lucky few to win a hobby box.
That’s a great idea. I hate how expensive they’ve made it!
I know at least 14 Stefanic super collectors
😂😂😂
I agree, bro I bought a jumbo and a hobby box and disappointed so bad that I’m on my way right now as we speak to buy another jumbo lol wish me luck
Sorry to hear that. You might want to buy some mega boxes instead. I hear they are the way to go!
@ yeah uploading the new video now it was definitely better than my last box but not worth the price and I have to agree with you on the mega box
Yeah, that’s what everyone is saying. Topps just shipped mine so I hope I get it soon!
@ yeah I was gonna order some off-line today, but I don’t wanna wait a week lol
I get that 😂
I bought my 1st stadium club at wal mart the other day and scored 2 autos. A oakland rc and wow a orange refractor/10 ronald acuna my biggest pull ever from a blaster
Wow, congratulations! How many blasters did you buy to get two autographs?
@NomahsSportsCards 2
@NomahsSportsCards crazy huh
@NomahsSportsCards i took the 2 blasters in the back of shelf
Wow congrats!!!
That diamond dominance is a nice card but per usual, the Topps case hits (outside of planetary pursuit) do not age well. That card raw sells for $10-30
Which is such a bummer! I thought maybe I had something special, but soon realized that the breakers delight was also a waste of time and money 😔
I got 1 solid card. I got an SSP Jasson dominguez Crushed insert. A bunch of elly and the Jackson's. No skenes though. My hobby box was pretty good
Nice, congrats! Yeah you did better than me for sure 😂
@NomahsSportsCards I felt your pain on this box. I was going to pass on this but my lcs gave me a good price on a hobby for my bday. Probably the only box I'll open of update chrome though. Love the content though.
Happy birthday!
@NomahsSportsCards ty, today's my actual birthday so ty very much. I share a birthday with macho man randy savage as well. So one of the 1st singles I bought was a randy poffo aka macho man Cincinnati Reds cards. A bit of useless information there for ya
That’s awesome! Brother! Hopefully it is inferred that I am saying the word “brother“ in my best macho man voice 😂
So disappointed in this for the price point got a hobby box and got nothing. None of the three big rookies bass cards, a crappy number card and a low-level prospect Auto that was it.
So sorry to hear!
Cade smith is a damn good pitcher but if you’re charging $200 a box, a sticker auto is an absolute disgrace from fanatics. Especially an orange rookie auto /25. I get why you said this box wasn’t great lol
I couldn’t agree more!
The price is step and seems to be getting worse these days. Appreciate your input and comments
Thanks! Yeah I will be sitting this one out next time
Thinking about this or a update hobby
Been looking for that Gunnar for a long time great pull
Thanks! I would trade it if you got something I needed
I agree, it’s overpriced for me. Especially coming on the heels of Stadium club & base update!
Agreed! I’ll be buying more of those products but not this one.
If fanatics and topps are gunna charge this much per box at least throw some more of the top rookie autos watch tons of this product being ripped and the odds of hitting even a cowser auto is impossible all the autos are no name nobodies
I agree! I’m buying exactly NO MORE of this product! Thanks for watching!
I stopped buying boxes this year… I just watch rips now. Prices are insane…Too many releases and all are overpriced.
Agreed. Thanks for watching!
A bland box at best. Ugh. Oh how many times I have suffered through that before.
Indeed! Just part of the game sometimes 😔
ive been priced out of collecting
Sorry to hear that. Yeah, if I didn’t have the channel to supplement my collecting budget, I wouldn’t be able to buy stuff like this anymore. It’s really a bummer.
cade smith is not a bad prospect could be a lot worse
I agree, as I learned more about him after the opening. I felt a little less bad about it.
The good box i saw ripped wasn't worth the price. They might have gotten 250 back on a 400 dallar box. The megas are where it's at with chrome.
I agree! Just ordered some actually.
@NomahsSportsCards I hope I can find some when I can afford some more boxes. I mainly do retail, don't like paying up charges for the same boxes at card shops.
Makes total sense!
Sometimes you get brutalized and 2024 Topps Chrome Update is not profitable. Even with a big auto hit, you still won't make your money back. You'll end up with a nobody mcnobody auto and a few parallels worth 3 bucks. I recommend staying away.
I could not agree more!
Its also impossible to hit a big auto as their all just no name rookies the lack of the top rookies are disturbing
Again, I could not agree more 😔
Not too bad, not too good 🍀✌️
Yeah the auto was better than I realized. But overall not a great box.
Keep your head up
I will LOL. First bad opening in a while I can’t really complain 😀
Yea not happy at all with this product. Got 6 mega boxes and all 60 xfractors had severe print lines. Contacted topps they said they couldn't do anything because they wouldn't grade lower than an 8. For the price should be alot better.
Wow that is shocking. Usually they replace cards with flaws!
@NomahsSportsCards Sent them pics and everything. Not happy.

Sometimes you just gotta rip! Love the thrill of the chase!
You said it, brother!
I decided to get 9 update hangers instead of buying any of this set
YOU MADE THE RIGHT CALL!!! 😂 😂 😂
@@NomahsSportsCards 😄😄😄
😎
The videos I have seen of this product have been mostly disappointing. At the price point, you have high expectations.
I agree. I regret buying it. Live and learn!
Cade Smith was the best non-closer reliever this year. By far.
I appreciate you putting that out. I think this is a better card/opening that I might’ve realized, especially if he pans out and becomes a dominant closer. You never know!
sick gunnar dominance. its an SP.
It is, but sadly not worth much
