I just did the same opening and I swear we got boxes that mirrored each others. Overall, not bad, but man this set is gonna take a year or two to mature. Who knows with some of these kids. The checklist is underwhelming but does have future potential for sure. Thanks for sharing.
I totally missed the presale on these somehow so haven't picked any up. I went in heavy on sapphire so I might have to skip these, but now I want some.
I believe blaster cases is the way to go. I watched a number of blaster case breaks vs 6 hobby. Pulled the trigger on the blaster case and ended up way ahead due to a Carroll auto/99. Also pulled a yankee rookie /50, Walker /99, 6 total autos (2 base) Tovar color match, 16 total numbered (including autos), two SP, 1 ultra violet, and 1 negative.
Hey Stryker thanks for the video man , I see most of my first time new releases from you. Love the product man and hope to get one of these sooner than later
Great video and product. For those expecting $300 of value per box instantly after ripping, that’s really not how the Bowman Chrome game works. This product requires 24-36 months of patience for the players to mature and move up in the Top 100.
Not a terrible pair of boxes! Hard to say with extremely young prospects gonna have to wait for this to mature a few years to really see whether this years is a boom or bust! The rookie checklist is the icing on the cake though!
In this product, inserts are a waste of space and not what anyone is looking for. Doesn’t matter how cool they are. They just get put to the side or slid into the garage never to be seen again. Love the break Stryker! Nobody better in this space on UA-cam! Cheers
Grateful for the preview…however, was looking forward to getting home from work and ripping the hobby box on the doorstep. But idk anymore. My excitement has been muted a bit.
I'm just chasing my ol PC player Yoan Moncada. Idk what card he has in the product, but he is included. Bought into a few case player breaks for him. Then whatever I don't hit I'll be buying.
How hard do you think pulling one of the three legends first bowman will be? Are thry only parallels or do they have base as well. One more question did they Brady first get squashed?
I wonder how many QC issues it will have. I may wait and see on this. IF they do a lite box, that might be the way I go. $300 for two autos when I cant use buyback cards yet seems pretty steep.
They definitely need too come down 👎 on Price. They looked pretty rough with all that paper 😔. Someone else munching lines on them too😮 Thanks for the previews❤
Way, way overpriced for what you're getting. I feel for what you pay for these you should be getting bigger names in the game especially when it comes to the autos, just too many Joe Smuckatelly autos that will more than likely go nowhere. I certainly can't afford it and will not be getting any of it, but loved your video and watching you rip this product to give us a look peak see. Keep up the OUTSTANDING work shipwreck and you and your family have a great, safe and blessed rest of your week and upcoming weekend. As always, I'll be looking forward to your next video.
Since this video came out I have been cracking this set and STILL HAVE NOT opened a 1st Salas base. All I want is a Salas, but this set hates me as much as the president of UPenn hates my people.
I wanna buy a box or two of this, but that quality looks horrible! Scratches, off centered...that pitcher auto has a break in the top middle of the card...not sure it's worth it.
Man this looks terrible this year. Every card had tons of deep scratches going across the top left hand side. Tons of cards with dinged corners including the Adley rc you pulled. Very weak auto checklist with most guys coming out of DSL and ACL. All that dust on the cards just terrible quality control overall. That O'Rae auto you pulled had a massive roller mark in the middle of the card. Disgusting! Looks like a $100 a box product. Staying FAR away.
That Marcos Vargas pull was pretty strong, def one of the top 10 to 15 to get in this.
Definitely doesn’t seem worth the price, but I’m sure the best is yet to come.
I agree… Well not yet anyway
For sure. $700 or so purchase. For $100 in cards?
I was seeing a lot of scratches or print lines on those.
Love the insert, those Iconics are really cool. Going to have to get myself a box or 2
@4:26 with the Adley and others in that pack looks like it they have scratch or print line top left going horizontal.

Marco Vargas is also a Met! 3 Mets autos lol
Appreciate the early looks and all the knowledge being shared. GOAT status
You da GOAT!
Thanks for the rip! That Vargas is real nice and like the inserts and wbc #d 👌
I totally missed the presale on these somehow so haven't picked any up. I went in heavy on sapphire so I might have to skip these, but now I want some.
Sweet! Thanks for the sneak peek! Was waiting on this video, Going to grab a couple boxes tomorrow

Easy pass with that QC. Yikes.

Bowman looking pretty sweet!
Hey Stryker thanks for the video man , I see most of my first time new releases from you. Love the product man and hope to get one of these sooner than later
Thank you...looking forward to ripping some 👌
Vargas' auto was gorgeous though. Well done for having a nice one.
Great pulls! Keep it up! Good luck on the Prospect Babe Ruth Retrofractor 1/1.
good stuff Stryker cards look real good love WBC Sal card hopefully squeeze into one of your breaks this week 👍👍
Thanks for sharing Stryker! Looks to be a good rip! Good content as always.
Hey you got a Vargas from the HTA congratulations 🎊
I was the 500th LIKE !!!!! Missed the show - watching rewind !!! LET'S GO !!!!
The QC doesn't look great on these based on this preview. I do appreciate the sneak peek!
No lite boxes this year is disappointing. I loved those black and white mini diamonds
I’m in a PYT case break of some HTAs, took Baltimore and STL. Wish me luck.
@@CollectingCardboard damn, why you so sensitive lol just get a life and you’ll be much happier
Good luck!!!
eeesh, I don't know. At the price point they are selling at that's a tough 1.
I appreciate the preview! I got the same two boxes coming. Keep it up brother!
Oh....what a happy lunch I'm having! Thx, Stryker! 👍🔥
Glad to hear it!
Good looking cards. Bowman kills it
Every Year I do the Pete Alonso Rainbow run, missing some reds and the 1/1s, looking forward to this years hunt
So the babe Ruth can’t be pulled from the HTA box since it’s only autos right.?
My HTA arrived today as well
Vargas is a stud. Traded to Mets in D-Rob trde at deadline. Great stuff Stryker.
Yeah I looked in to him after the pull because I didn't see him on the Marlins prospect list. He's #8 already in the Mets system.
So essentially all Mets autos out of the HTA! HaHa
LOL that Marco Vargas is now on the Mets, went to NYM in the Robertson Deal
Thanks for the preview, Stryker!
You're Welcome!
Great video and product. For those expecting $300 of value per box instantly after ripping, that’s really not how the Bowman Chrome game works. This product requires 24-36 months of patience for the players to mature and move up in the Top 100.
2 boxes of regular release waiting for me @ home!
When you doing a logofractor video?
That Vargas is super nice
I wanna buy the Mega when it comes out.!!
Thanks for the peek love it.
You bet!
Thanks for the preview vid!
You're Welcome!
At those prices per box…LOL No F’ing way 😂😂😂😂 I may buy a single card or two and that’s it!
Not a terrible pair of boxes! Hard to say with extremely young prospects gonna have to wait for this to mature a few years to really see whether this years is a boom or bust! The rookie checklist is the icing on the cake though!
The numbered to 75 is a yellow, gold's are to 50
Well you were right ended up with 3 met autos. Vargas was traded to them. See a lot of Luis Arraez in him
Do a lot of those cards have some debris on them?
Marco Vargas is actually in the Mets system now so that HTA was all Mets. He's a pretty big prospect though
In this product, inserts are a waste of space and not what anyone is looking for. Doesn’t matter how cool they are. They just get put to the side or slid into the garage never to be seen again. Love the break Stryker! Nobody better in this space on UA-cam! Cheers
Love the music bro
Is there bowman chrome retail this year?
No retail on the checklist www.topps.com/media/pdf/odds/2023BowmanChromeBaseballOdds.pdf
For the base cards, are they the same as Chrome cards from the regular 2023 Bowman release (ie the release with both paper and Chrome cards in it)?
there are no chrome vets or rookies in the regular 2023 Bowman release.
Grateful for the preview…however, was looking forward to getting home from work and ripping the hobby box on the doorstep. But idk anymore. My excitement has been muted a bit.
I'm just chasing my ol PC player Yoan Moncada. Idk what card he has in the product, but he is included. Bought into a few case player breaks for him. Then whatever I don't hit I'll be buying.
Pitcher Bummer....what's difference b/t them and a QB? Both control the game
How hard do you think pulling one of the three legends first bowman will be? Are thry only parallels or do they have base as well. One more question did they Brady first get squashed?
Thanks
You da man!!
I wonder how many QC issues it will have. I may wait and see on this. IF they do a lite box, that might be the way I go. $300 for two autos when I cant use buyback cards yet seems pretty steep.
You always look at quality haha that first pack had scratches, smudges, print lines, all of it haha. Just giving you a hard time
These boxes were tuff. That dylan auto is ok
All Mets lol. Marco Vargas was traded in the Robertson trade
Where’s the music at?
Dylan orea has his 1st non auto in 2023 Bowman
Awesome
What’s the price ?
Also, QC worries me. Lots of lines on your cards. And those spots.. dust?
that box was ALL Mets
Checklist is pretty subpar overall and prices are crazy.
They definitely need too come down 👎 on Price.
They looked pretty rough with all that paper 😔. Someone else munching lines on them too😮
Thanks for the previews❤
U got like bowman for the future prospects but them prices are crazy!!!!
Nic sat them down
I like everything about this product but the price. It’s going to be $350-$400 at the LCS it seems and this is a long term investment hold too
Bad QC higher prices fun hobby
Way, way overpriced for what you're getting. I feel for what you pay for these you should be getting bigger names in the game especially when it comes to the autos, just too many Joe Smuckatelly autos that will more than likely go nowhere.

Will there be Walmart megas this year
Marco the best
Last i looked hobbys were $280..smh
Funny Vargas got traded to the Mets so I guess that’s your new favorite team now
Ouch!
Since this video came out I have been cracking this set and STILL HAVE NOT opened a 1st Salas base.
All I want is a Salas, but this set hates me as much as the president of UPenn hates my people.
early gang.
This is ridiculous. I would save this box forever sealed
Quality control seems really terrible on this product. Maybe a bad box but jeez this one was bad
Rough
Not a fan for this product. Not worth the money
Ok boxes. For the price point just not worth it. Hobby should be $150 and HTA $200. Good video as always.
Kinda an ugly rip. At this point it’s tough to find those crazy rookie autos making value.
I wanna buy a box or two of this, but that quality looks horrible! Scratches, off centered...that pitcher auto has a break in the top middle of the card...not sure it's worth it.
Not worth the price
Man this looks terrible this year. Every card had tons of deep scratches going across the top left hand side. Tons of cards with dinged corners including the Adley rc you pulled.

That O'Rae auto you pulled had a massive roller mark in the middle of the card. Disgusting! Looks like a $100 a box product. Staying FAR away.
At $300 - 400 a box, not worth half that. $100+ per hta auto.. yikes. Yea, i know, if you hit the lottery ticket...then $400 isnt a big deal.
Way too overpriced for that piss poor quality control.
Good looking cards, but not worth the price…….rip-off
Dirty ass cards lol. Nice video! Won't be buying
好猛的開箱速度
Gross...the particles all over the cards. Yikes.
Too many no names
My wife said she would leave me if I bought one HTA box so I gotta stick with blaster boxes 🫠
So buy two then and give her the leftovers
