Brutal...... If I'd bought those boxes, I'd no doubt wake up screaming out of a dead sleep in the middle of the night, off and on, for years.... Poor Glenn....
The odds of that happening have to be insane. This is why I stopped opening, but even when I did, my max budget for a single box was $300. Anything over that was a guaranteed loss waiting to happen in my eyes.
If Jabs pulled a 1 of 1 with a few numbered rookies out of both boxes there would be multiple comments from those that swear he gets loaded boxes from Topps. Jabs pulls some great cards because of the genuine reactions along with the voice that could have made it calling game for a MLB team anywhere in America. At the end of the day you can't avoid striking out every once in a while. At the current prices it's a gamble just like everything else in these unprecedented times. If you can afford it, take a chance, but consider it as entertainment like going into a casino. Only risk what you can afford to risk. Anybody out there complaining about the prices in this hobby should go save some 100+ year old books from a landfill. Just drive by the donation boxes that got overflow in boxes or crates on the ground before it rains. And remember to check the return slot on the coin counting machine after checking out when at Walmart. It will cost you a few bucks in gas. Low risk, possibility of a high reward and hopefully gets rid of the negativity being pushed around these days. Jabs, congratulations on the wedding and all that will be coming along the way in the future.
@@808trades honestly, I would price those out at around $100.00. The Tops executives most be sitting in the board room laughing at us for buying this junk.
Once again I ask everyone, would you rather? Would you rather purchase these 2 boxes for $1,600 or Would you continue to grow your awesome Mickey Mantle collection (Mantle cards only go up) buy purchasing a (recent eBay sales) 1965 SGC 6 & 1968 Mantle SGC 7. If you are still letting Topps bone dry your savings account then it is too late for you. For the rest of us the choice is easy, Mantle everytime!
at least with a box of flagship its like 100 bucks and you might get a fun auto worth 30-50 sometimes...plus some cool cards to collect of your fave players.
Wow id want my $$ back. That was just absolutely ridiculous. Way to much $$ for some $5 cards. Yes the trammell was decent but his auto doesn't go for much
Topps and Panini both know that at this point, regardless of how overpriced and/or shoddy the product is, they are going to sell as many as they produce, so... Don't expect anything to change anytime soon
Hahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa!!! OMG, thanks Topps! Sorry if this was a personal break. Yikes. I've not laughed so hard in quite some time. Again, my condolences.
I love this hobby and have been collecting over 30 years and have obviously spent a lot of money but I just can’t justify this kind of money for this. If I have 850 burning a hole in my pocket it’s going to vintage singles or Topps Dynasty.
These are what I call Lotto boxes... For the price you pay for the box, most of the time you are getting skunk cards. Spend $800+ to get back $300-350 on average. Might as well pay for the Skenes outright
Poor Priester. I bet that is the reaction to every time someone saw he was the Pirates pitcher in their pack. And every time it happens a little bit more of his soul darkens.
Box #2 was a little better but to get the same 2 autos as Box #1 seems kinda strange could've been worse next time will be better!!🎉 Great video Jabs!!🎉
Those boxes equal what I get from SS each month. And they were bad. Really bad. Sad when a box of Pro Debut for $90 is better than an $800 box. Definitely get better autos.
Ouch , the sad part it goes to one person. A case should not have dupes. The collation is just like retail. Topps doesn’t care about us, or how bunched up the coalition gets. 😢
That’s insane.. Marte was good for the reds before the suspension he had like a 15 game hit streak when he was called up to end the year, then this year was just bad. Hope he bounces back!
Makes me feel a little better about my two chrome update megas that had the exact same xfractors in both boxes. Nice cards but not worth $800 a box. Maybe $200 at most.
I feel sick watching this and I didn't even pay for it. Topps has completely screwed up repeatedly this year, particularly with the extreme prices. I have refused to buy any boxes or packs this year. Absolute rip off x 1000 Screw you Topps.
Wow.....Happened to me back in 2001 with Upper Deck Sweet Spot.....Bought 2 Hobby Boxes and Pulled 2 Daren Ersted Auto Cards.....Did pull a Joe Dimaggio Jersey Card as well.....But the Jersey wasn't Game Used.....It Happens
Wow.. the boxes are trash.. $800 is a rip off for what you get, not worth it.. give me back the 70’s and 80’s baseball cards.. that was when collecting was fun
Topps should be ashamed of themselves, but they are too busy counting their money. I’ve actually contacted them when a museum box this year was a dud like this and they couldn’t care less.
Where are the hobby boxes for kids or the blue collar guy?? I feel like you have to take a loan out just to get something that worth chasing. The prices just keep rising and rising.
I feel ripped off and I got to watch the video for free
😂
@@RS-ig1mc time is money so that just cost you something.
Big facts 😂😂😂😂
This should be criminal! I can't believe people are actually buying all of these grossly overpriced boxes. Card companies should be embarrassed.
They’re actually laughing to the bank.
They won't be embarrassed unless people stop buying them. Until then, they will keep counting their money and raising the prices.
People paying $850 for this should be embarrassed 😂
@@michakav rich people rolling in money are never embarrassed
@@MessOfThings True. I forget what lots of money makes you give up.
paying $1,600+ for dupes.. insane.
But it's a hobby a hobby a hobby a hobby such an overused word
But i mean. It's a hobby. It literally shouldn't be a job.
The odds of getting dupes on this product is even more insane
Brutal...... If I'd bought those boxes, I'd no doubt wake up screaming out of a dead sleep in the middle of the night, off and on, for years.... Poor Glenn....
Boy, that felt like Topps giving a giant middle finger to collectors.
I’m sorry for laughing but the second QP made me laugh so hard
Q Marte and Q Priester twice 😂😂
@@mikeengelmann233I was laughing too. But I would be mad if those where my pulls.
I was laughing out loud too when I saw the same autos.
The odds of that happening have to be insane. This is why I stopped opening, but even when I did, my max budget for a single box was $300. Anything over that was a guaranteed loss waiting to happen in my eyes.
I want to thank everyone who buys these and then allows us to watch to be ripped. You are unsung heroes in many relationships.
Prayers go out to my man glenn. Hope your doing alright buddy
This was Glenn's last night in the hobby. Taken to the cleaners.
You know what would make this box even better if they did sticker autos
*cut* sticker autos
😂😂
Wow Topps! Wow! I don't believe I have ever seen Jabs stammer like that. Jabs was definitely in disbelief and deflated.
Yeah, it was a pretty rough box break. Honestly worst of the year

Bro if I spent 1600 on that garbage good lord gambling addiction is real
Simply horrible and one of the reasons I don't buy boxes as much...rather buy the card I want
People that buy these highend boxes are looking for those high dollar cards they can't afford to buy as a single.
How to turn $1700 into $250 in 10 mins
250 seems generous
@@808tradesi know sapphire gold priester autos go for like $20. Not sure about Trammel, but you'd be lucky getting $100 back here otherwise

Why buy Mantle when you can buy a better player like Mays for way cheaper?
If you have no emotional ties or urge to collect mantle why would you collect just mantle? Great not losing your ass but to me kinda boring.
for $1600 you could get a 1953 SGC 1, or a really nice 1954 bowman!
That was my annual collecting budget.
Haha, and right down the crapper it went
Hopefully Topps bought you dinner first at least
As a Noelvi Marte collector, that is SWEET! I know it was a let down for everyone else 🤣 he has very high expectations this year
This has to be some cruel joke from Topps lol
This is why cards aren’t worth buying anymore. This is awful, Topps.
at least with a box of flagship its like 100 bucks and you might get a fun auto worth 30-50 sometimes...plus some cool cards to collect of your fave players.
Another reason to buy singles 😅
It was Friday at 4:59pm for quality control.
Never thought Panini would sell Gilded to Three Bros.
I remember paying $19.99 for a complete set of Topps in 1977
Tried finding the gofundme for Glen in the comments.
Wow id want my $$ back. That was just absolutely ridiculous. Way to much $$ for some $5 cards. Yes the trammell was decent but his auto doesn't go for much
Ouch 🤕😳 imagine spending $850 on a box and pulling nothing. That hurts 😞
Imagine somebody else is going to open two boxes and they're going to get four autographs that are each worth 2k
That's will never happen, they will put lots of low end cards before they do that.
Who ever bought these I would most definitely contact Topps this is straight bs
That hurt my soul. I’m sorry to the guy who bought those…… Topps, come on now
Fanatics laughing all the way to the bank
Wow, 1700 bucks down the drain. Better off with a couple 10 buck packs from stay classy.
I hugged my wallet just a little more watching that, ouch!
Imagine being told : you will get 2 buccos rookie pitcher autos and 2 reds rookie position player auto. Are you in? 🤣
Good point. Ultimate troll job there
Sometimes we take expensive dumps and sometimes we take cheap dumps. They usually stink pretty much the same amount.
Expensive dumps stink alot more
That is ridiculous!! Painful to watch.
I was real close to being priced out of the hobby. Just watching this put me over the edge. It was fun while it lasted I guess
Those are the boxes that cause nightmares lol,that was probably the worst 2 preview boxes I have seen on this channel
If the 3rd framed card was a marte i would have quit cards.
Yikes… and Topps is justifying that by the fact that the 2 second set of autos were lower number.
Topps just proved that when you overpay for something, you get garbage. Kinda of like the Mets and Juan Soto.
03:06 that deep breath before ripping a high-priced item is very relatable 😅
There's people leaving Diddy parties that feel less violated than that. OMFG.

I am dying what are these boxes. That's topps for you
Card companies don't care about quality control because some group of clowns always will overpay
Ive opened 4 of these so far this year an pulled a holliday /75 auto , holliday /99 auto , gunner red gold /5 and adley rutch 1/1 super

Thank you for giving me even more reason to NOT get back into collecting again!
I understand that this is a high end box but that is unacceptable. Topps continues to price people out of the hobby with nothing to show for it
I'll send Fanatics the video of me writing checks to my bill collectors instead of opening their products.
Topps loves putting multiple autos from the same player in boxes.
Those boxes didn't cover the price of a quarter of one of those boxes. And this is why I don't buy cards any more...
Ripping card packs have become a lottery! Ruining collecting!

🚨🚨THIS IS ACTUALLY A VERY GOOD PRODUCT, HE JUST GOT BAD BOXES🚨🚨
Topps signature series is a lottery ticket not an 800 dollar box 🤣 that's a house payment
I’m can’t ever complain bout another bad box after this.
Contact Topps it’s an error on Topps part. If this is from a sealed case they’ll send you something in return.

That was terrible rip for the guy that paid for it...The chances that both boxes had the same 2 auto's has to be astronomical...
Sport cards investor opened two boxes back to back of gilded and both framed cards were tony Oliva
Cue TPIR "you lose" music!! Reminds me of one guy getting 20+ of same guy in a box
So glad I didn’t buy this last weekend for $900

Wow! What a waste of resources Topps. Thanks as always Jabs for keeping my head straight on considering these higher end products.
People keep buying this stuff so they’ll keep making it!! $50 worth of cards for $1600
Yikes! Marte to 5 isn't too bad. People will roll the dice on a former top prospect rookie #/5.
I'd rather hit the slots for that kind of money.

I can't believe people buy this stuff. 😂
I feel your pain but like you said it's a lottery and we know the house always wins.
Topps is laughing so hard at these boxes.
Topps didn’t even have the decency to give Glen a reach-around
Money better spent at the blackjack table. Would try to win back the cost of these duds.
No "look at this" on these boxes.
Criminal.
That was crazy. Wierd boxes.
Topps should be ashamed for killing a KIDS hobby,
Funny, but not funny
Ouch, $1700 loss! Like said, lottery odds.
