really surprised these guys only have 2k followers. its the best baseball card channel by a mile. thank you for your awesome channel i always try to watch when i have some time.
@@Blabbin_Bout_Slabbin thank you so much! We really enjoyed the Topps Chrome video! They LOVE the inserts, and I appreciate the info, on the SP/SSP, so I can help them find them. Jeff/Chris….you REALLY are the best! Thank you for everything you do. 👍🇺🇸
My friend and I split a Jumbo case for $3300. It would probably be considered a good case, yet we'll lose at least $1000. Love the cards but getting pushed out of the hobby - Top 4 cards we pulled: 1) Jackson Holliday Radiating Rookies 2) Junior Caminero Blue Wave Auto /150 3) Shota Imanaga Refractor Auto /499 4) Colton Cowser SP
Oh man. That’s tough. It’s so much fun to open packs, but some of the fun gets lost when you are forced to worry about trying to make back the higher and higher price of wax. The Holiday sounds great though! Thanks for commenting.
@@Blabbin_Bout_Slabbin There's definitely entertainment value in the rip itself. $1000 worth? Not so much. But I've already started listing and we'll see how far I can claw my way back. First sale was a Smith-Shawver true Gold Auto.
@@jsssportscardcollectibles3626 nice card! He’s back up with the Braves and in their bullpen now. That stadium chrome box I ripped with my dad - I’d be shocked if there was $10 worth of cards in there. Some entertainment value, but we were definitely in the red.
I pulled the fun face holliday last weekend from my only jumbo I got for free from my fanatics cash. It was behind my 2nd (!) manufactured relic of the box. I was dumbfounded when I seen a 2nd one but Jacksons name was sitting right behind it. Pure let down turned to pure bliss haha. It was the actual fun face one too so it was awesome 👌
@@Blabbin_Bout_Slabbin My father was never in the picture. But, if he was I would enjoy every moment with him. So, when I see this things I have much respect for sons and fathers who care and luv each other. 😎🙏💪🏽💯👌👊🏽
As a Mets fan I was looking up their cards, they have a rookie auto for taylor kohlwey, who played 11 games at triple A, never played one game in the majors, and was released on April 28, 2024. I’d be pissed to get that as my one auto in a hobby box. He is still “released” and not picked up by any other team. What do you think of that? I don’t know how they could even say he was anticipated to get to the majors so they gave him a rookie card
Thanks, Stephen! Podcast: that is on the list of stuff to look into. For two non-tech-savvy guys in their 40s, getting online at all is a big accomplishment! 🤣
Enjoy having the kids' schedule. I miss it now that mine are grown. The good is they are baseball cards. The bad is that Fanatics is producing them. The Ugly is the price.
@@Blabbin_Bout_Slabbin I'm with you the golden mirrors are awesome. The reason i brought up the mega stars is because I don't think everyone realizes they are short printed. I've opened a ton of flagship and only pulled 1 thats less than the amount of golden mirrors I've pulled. I found that interesting
Thanks, Tim! We try not to take ourselves too seriously and we understand this hobby is very fickle, so we are just out to have some fun talking cards and hoping to educate a little along the way.
@@Blabbin_Bout_Slabbin 🤣🤣 Good One!! Yep. Strider is my next Mention, He's gonna come back even better!!! Bought a couple big strider cards recently. Whos gonna have better carrer strider or Skeens. my money on Spencer Strider
A PSA order is never late,nor is it early it arrives precisely when it means to 😂😂 I'd psa figure a way to incorporate that into their marketing...look out 😅😅
With Topps bringing back the Black /10 auto, how will this parallel compare to the other true color autos that have been constant for years now? Which color are you going for!?
That’s a great question. They look good! Still incredibly rare though just being /10, so not sure they will really be attainable for most collectors (including us). Are you going to go after any?
@@Blabbin_Bout_Slabbin Interested to see what the Yankees cards look like. I'm sure they will look good color match wise. It may even look better than the true blues do but like you said way more expensive!
Interesting! Have they seemed harder to pull? I know the checklist is bigger, no of course that means more Non-MVPs in every box. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Pirates fan. I just wish they would have used the Pirate Logo instead of the P Logo for the lightboard. The P is iconic but boring in this scenario especially since they did it for many other teams Also - could you tell me the name of the McCutchen SSP you mentioned in this video. Have never seen it
Oh yeah! The logo would have been great. Check out @Homerdome.Cards on IG to see the McCutchen SSP from 2016 Opening Day where he’s getting his award. A very rare beauty!
24’ chrome looks to be extremely underwhelming. I’ve watched multiple breaks. Loaded with garbage autos and parallels of 31 yo “rookie” relievers and 2 week call ups . Yea of course people hit big cards . But it took a full case to get one or two decent hits . I can tell Stryker is over it already as much as he plays it off on stream . The 300 card set really killed it
hey thanks for the report from the front lines! I haven’t watched any breaks, but I imagined them to be just how you are describing. I wonder how long breaks of this stuff will keep filling at the higher prices to cover the higher prices of the boxes?
@@Blabbin_Bout_Slabbin they mix in breaker delight boxes with the hobbys/ jumbos . I’m sure that potential is allowing the breaks to be sold . Even then I find it meh at best. The better option imo is just to wait for 24’ topps update . Skenes probably debuting as an RC chase is already a superior value .
Thanks Ninja! Have to agree. The price point just makes opening any untenable. When the hype ends, I may pick up an SSP or two, but that’s it for me. Appreciate the watch and comment 💪🏼
@@Blabbin_Bout_Slabbin Can get so many graded cards of HOF slash upcoming HOF players for the money guaranteed PC addition that make you happy and collection grow or chance ya arm and probs loose 3/4 of item cost without big hit of great player. Is a rich man's gambling entity these days MLB NFL & NBA very sad to see the decline of what it has become imo the average Joe is priced out of the ripping a box 👎

Completely agree. This fkn show is the best.
@@americanbeam961 thanks!!
The most genuine and entertaining cards channel!!! You guys complement each other so well.
Thanks so much for your kind words - appreciate the support!
Thanks! Chris here - It was a rough 8 minutes without Jeff!!
You guys are awesome! My Vets, and I, LOVE your videos. We learn so much! Topps Chrome inserts look AMAZING! Cheers, my friend🥃🇺🇸
Thank you, sir! If your vets ever have any questions or stuff they want us to talk about, let us know!

Awesome Gift for your Dad 👍
@@IIIIIIIOOOOIIIIIIII thank you!
It’s been a Few days now and my mom just told he still stares at periodically. So that’s cool.
Happy birthday to your dad. And that’s awesome that you found and got him his dream card. 🤙🏻
Thanks! It was really cool! He was just looking at it all night!
Just like I would be!
What a cool moment to share with your dad! 88 years young!
Thanks, man! Yeah it really was a great birthday - baseball card, cocktails and steak! Sign me up right now!

Congrats on that pull! Would be so cool to see it when opening a pack 😮
Funny to see how much yall talk about the Ben Revere card. I grew up playing baseball and basketball with Ben in little league. Great athlete.
No kidding?! That's awesome -- did you stay in touch with him as he progressed?
No unfortunately not. I think the last time we talked was in a 13-14yr old all star tournament. Then he moved to play against better competition lol.
“Reach for the tissues….. for my tears. Need to be clear”. Hahahah
I didn’t want to give anybody the wrong idea. You never know!
Kind of you getting that card for your father!!! Much respect 🫡 😎👌💪🏽💯👊🏽
Thanks! He loved it and is still talking about it!

This is incredible. Incredibly bad. What an auto to potentially get after spending big $$ on a box… Thanks for doing the research!
You guys should make this a podcast! Great content

Haha, well-said! And yes, trying to enjoy the madness of the kids' schedule 🤣
how do you guys feel about the mega stars short print inserts in flagship? I'm a fan
@@teddo997 Chris here - I like the design, but I’m Generally not a big chaser of inserts. I’m still tracking down the Golden mirrors I like.
@@Blabbin_Bout_Slabbin I'm with you the golden mirrors are awesome. The reason i brought up the mega stars is because I don't think everyone realizes they are short printed. I've opened a ton of flagship and only pulled 1 thats less than the amount of golden mirrors I've pulled. I found that interesting
The best thing about your guys show is how down to earth both of you are. And no one likes Evan Carter as a player this year. He has been so awful
Thanks, Tim! We try not to take ourselves too seriously and we understand this hobby is very fickle, so we are just out to have some fun talking cards and hoping to educate a little along the way.

We won’t Sophie’s Choice you, we promise!
Channel gets a bump up for mentioning LOTR!
YES!
Fun fact - I made my wife see Return of the King in our honeymoon!
(It premiered while we were in Maui)
Very cool. I did get to see the ROTK extended on the big screen last summer for the 20th anniversary.

Shame Soto has no sp or ssp in chrome this year.
It's absurd! Since he is even on the box, what is Topps thinking??
City connect jersey too . . . at least for Acuna Jr
A fan? Or not a fan?
@@Blabbin_Bout_Slabbin don't hate them really
@@JeffreyMacDonald-vl5px I love the Braves city connects
@@Blabbin_Bout_Slabbin Braves are top 5 city connect jersey . . . Red Sox are #1 for me

Check out the Harper Ultra Violet. Looks like a werewolf howling at the moon. Whatever is going on on that card, it’s not Bryce Harper lol.
Oh no. Thanks for the tip, I’ll reluctantly go check it out 🌕
I do wonder as cool as the MVP buy back are that maybe Fans/Topps lost a lot of money so they decided to make it harder this year.

Wow that Lawlar was a horrible choice. I don't believe he has played an inning this season. Not an SSP an SSC (super short career)
SSC -- 🤣 At least so far for him...
Am I wrong or didn't Topps list an Oil Spill parallel on the initial checklist for topps chrome?
The oil spill parallel is in Finest!!
I’m scared to even imagine it.
@Blabbin_Bout_Slabbin ok, so I was just confused on which product it was in. I hope it doesn't look terrible
