Jackson Chourio Blue Wave /150 sold for $393 last night. Top 5 rookie auto color match /150 won't pay for a jumbo or a Breakers Delight box. Let that sink in folks
@@Cooper18-z4mdon’t ever spend $500 on a box of cards. Odds are strongly against you. You will likely only pull $50-$150 worth of cards. Spend your money wisely
everything is trash lol, everything i buy i just get abosolute garbage lmao, ive opened like 8 hobbies 2 jumbos, 8 blasters, all absolute garbage along with not even getting an auto in one of the hobbies
Imagine buying 2 boxes of that, paying 1000 bucks, and getting about 100 bucks worth of cards in there...fanatics should be ashamed of themselves, but they're taking in money hand over fist
2024 Topps Chrome is immensely overproduced...including rookies that havent and probably wont even play a game in the MLB. Its a corporate money grab as there are way too many breakers that buy them up on Fanatics live, Whatnot, etc. As a regular collector, you have to go in knowing you are likely losing 80% of your money. Appreciate the content!
As long as the high-end card sales keep being able to hold the prices high, I doubt it’ll come any time soon. And if it does, it’ll drop like $40 a box lol not enough to move the needle for us normal folk
@@Delmiester yeah, that and the other major problem are the giant breaker channels busting dozens of cases each day.. what incentive do they have to lower it when each channel has 500 guys ready to gamble because the break is more "affordable" when broken into teams or players
After spending too much on cards the last 2 years I think I’m gonna unload a lot for fear of this. Even if it never “bursts” I think the chances of most of my cards losing value is better than them gaining value.
@@jp82cards30 agreed, if sales don’t really get disrupted and there aren’t boxes sitting on shelves for years, what reason does Topps, or any big distributors have to lower the cost? And I have gotten into many breaks over the years, not so much in ‘24 because I can’t justify the price for return. When you need a case hit, or some type of legendary auto just to break even, not a gamble I want to take.
15:48 I never comment but when I saw a taylor kohlwey mets autograph as a mets fan whos watched over 95% of games this year I had to Google who the heck he was, this dude never played even a single game for the mets played 11 games for their AAA affiliate and has been released since april, there is no way his autograph should be in ANY products let alone a $500 product, that is robbery by topps and should be unacceptable
@JabsFamily somebody at topps must be a diehard padres fan to include both those guys, I'm ok watering down the checklist a little but these guys are way out there
This is nuts, but if not for sets like these, we either don't get $59 complete sets or no hobby at all. I do wonder where these players are getting all the time and energy to be autographing with what is literally 10,000 cards plus like Masyn Winn has.
@@Delmiester in a small town in PA. If you know how to work on a fixer upper, you can find deals. Please understand, when I moved in the kitchen drain was a hose with a funnel on it going to the basement.
@@altonT man, that is something I’ve always heard was a good idea if you had the resources to work on it, which I don’t. I live in Oregon and housing is pretty bonkers all over, crazy to me the difference depending on location.
Getting base cards are sometimes important. I had a Dave and Adam's group break in 2012 Gypsy Queen, where I drew the Angels. I noticed something watching the livestream that the breaker didn't, so I asked for the base cards. I got the one photo variation in the case of Albert Pujols. Now, those 2012 Mike Trout cards were worth asking for.
Its labeled as such on the odds sheet. So where is the deceit?? If you don't look into a product to see where certain variations and the like are found then you ignorance is nobody's fault but your own.
So you pay to be included in a break but they won’t ship your base cards if that’s all you get? They just keep the money and then single the cards out on eBay or what?
@@JabsFamilyagreed. An envelope and stamp doesn’t cost that much, factor it into the cost of the break. Seems presumptuous and a little rude to me but what do I know
I’ll never understand how a breaker’s delight box is more than a jumbo. Same amount of autos, so in practice you literally get more value from the base cards in a jumbo. Same deal with Bowman BD boxes. Unless there’s a specific effort to put bigger hits in BDs, I see no point in spending the extra money on them. Edit I only now just realized that you get one less auto with chrome BD boxes. I stand by my argument.
Love the way the cards look! Jumbo is still my favorite because the inserts looks cool. Seems like the case hit box is the only one where you’ll get anything of value
These are $700 per box now. And I get them for about the same price I sell them for. I add 3.5 percent PayPal fees plus shipping. I don’t set the prices so I don’t know why you’d leave a nasty comment accusing me of price gouging
$500.00 for those. Nah instead I'll pay my car note and still get a box of Donruss and a 24 pack of beer. Topps Chrome is always so expensive and over Hyped. Jabs you rock dude.
Topps hyped this product to the moon and really played hard on people's fomo. The price point for these boxes are God awful for the return. At some point Topps and Panini need to be looked at for unfair and shady business practices
Prices are too rich for me but if your gonna drop 5 bills on this or jumbo. Jumbo seems to make a bit more sense. Chrome base are worth something, and you have the chance of getting maybe 2 or 3 buy back cards if your lucky. Plus one more auto.
I collected cards from 1986 - 2006 and saw a major boom and bust in the hobby. Living through the junk wax era was painful and cards of that time frame didn’t hold much value. The box prices of then vs now is crazy. When this bubble finally pops, people are going to feel some real pain.
Yep it's coming soon. The card manufacturers are pressuring dealers,breakers,card shop owners to step up their game. Buy more product. Open up more stores. Promote their product. While they print the sh$t out of the cards. It's comming soon repet of the junk wax era.
What’s the logic behind the redemption card mail ins as opposed to just getting an autographed Jeter card in the pack already? I’m old but new to the modern hobby. Also, did they accidentally add an extra zero to the end of that price or are those really $500 each lol? What world did I wake up in?
Kohlwey was released from his AAA contract 2 months ago. Never played in the majors as a Met. Currently on the Long Island Ducks roster. But, on the IL. Why was even put in the set
This year Topps chrome offers a great opportunity to learn about players who you otherwise would not know about. (/s) I have a suspicion that Chrome blasters are even worse this year but we will see I guess. I have a suspicion that good autos and numbered cards have been disproportionately distributed to hobby products but maybe not.
@@TMRazlin Haha right? It pretty much yields the same thing minus one auto. The youthquake cards are okay, but they don’t justify the cost in my opinion
Buy one of these and get about $50 return ( -450 ). Buy a blaster for 40 get about $10 return ( -30 ). Blasters are the way to go if you are only looking to rip some cards.
I can’t believe people can afford this product… Topps chrome should not be this much money for the flagship chrome. This shouldn’t be sold as such a high end product. What a shame, thanks for showing us the misery in these boxes Jabs lol

The Jeter box was nice and both orioles autos were solid, but man, Topps is ripping us off. Most of those boxes weren't worth $100
I have to finally admit it, I just cannot afford to collect cards anymore.
Monster boxes of flagship were good to me, those are 50 bucks
Yep. Prices are out if control.
Same bud same
I've been a singles guy for awhile now. Opening sealed is for gambling

This is like someone selling you a “custom mystery box” on eBay and selling it for $500.
Its honestly Criminal that topps is charging 500 for these
Both the breakers delight and the jumbo cost more than my monthly mortgage payment ( taxes and insurance included).

Odd.... I kept hearing a flushing sound as these boxes were opened.... Hmm....
Nice cards but it looks like you got 1/10 chance of getting your money back should be maybe 250 box
500 bucks?! They can keep it; I'll stay with buying PSA 9 and 10 slabs. At least they're already graded.
That’s what I do. The market is pretty low so you can get some steals on PSA 9 and PSA 10 cards. Rather pick up 5 Tatum psa 10 for 500
This is a no-go for many of us. The hobby is pulling away from the average collector more and more every day.
Yikes!! Maybe 100 dollar value for 500 bucks. No thanks
How do these cards stack up against a Topps Pristine box? Both are about the same price but I feel you get more from a Pristine box.
Do you like the jumbo more so far ?
This being the only thing you can pull the Griffey out of is deceitful and topps should be ashamed. They're not saying anything about it. 😒
Legend autos are exclusive to breakers delight. How is that deceitful. Breakers delight has a few exclusives to them.
Is that true? That's not good

Brutal.
These are remarkably overvalued. I’m amazed.

You should see how Scottie B breaks the 2024 chrome down the hit rates for this year are terrible.

Friday is my trash pick up day, which is where these boxes should go. That was rough to watch, but appreciate the content!
So a rough avg. of $175 value in each $500 box… Got it. Better odds at a casino. No fun in this. Thanks Jabs.
I guess I'm old fashioned...I want to decide what happens to all the cards I purchase.
Great video! Thank you!
Jeb, I've been seeing these 2400 and 3100 dollar boxes. What's that about?
Those may be cases
Only Bad about these boxes is you don’t see any rookie refractors or # colors, It’s all base veteran parallels. I’m sticking with Jumbos!
This was a brutal pull. @$450 and 10 boxes only one even approached breaking even.
I used to just bust boxes at my local card shop. Now i just buy a blaster and usually get nothing.
Prices are too rich for me but if your gonna drop 5 bills on this or jumbo. Jumbo seems to make a bit more sense. Chrome base are worth something, and you have the chance of getting maybe 2 or 3 buy back cards if your lucky. Plus one more auto.
It really sucks they don't ship base. You pay for shipping, then get nothing.
I just remembered that Jackson Wolf used to play for the Padres.
I don't see the reasoning behind spending that on a Breakers Delight when the jumbo is the same price and actually offers more than these.
Gregor's delight is the only format to get like the retired Hall of Fame autos
Not sure how to get ahold of Michael Prettyman but Logan Porter played at my Alma Mater if he is interested in selling or trading.
None of those boxes, not even Daniel’s, came close to making their $450 back…
That first box is a recipe on how to burn $500 bucks in 10 seconds. Yikes!!
I wouldn’t even pay $50 for that box. Topps knew what they were doing.
15:27 this box hurt me holy cow. I need to take a Tums after watching that.
Thanks for showing us how terrible these boxes are
It's crazy that a jeter autograph doesn't even cover the price of a topps chrome box now
First! You are the best Uncle Jabs!!!!
Crazy how even if u get an elly or dominguez or holiday auto...ur still may not make ur money back...sad how the boxes r so priced out

The should ship the base....youre paying for the whole team not just the "hits". Also, definition of a hit is different for everybody.
at $500 a box each card would have to sell for at least $50 to break even after any sort of seller and paypal fees. That's insane.
Thanks for another great preview!
Broo. That Jeter redemption is insane.
Definitely Jumbo... this one needs a few more hits per box
The first box you opened has literally $50 in cards in it. Shameful Topps . Tire fire of a product. These boxes are $700 min in Canada.

Lighting money on fire 🔥. Buy $500 of Bitcoin and in 5 years buy whatever cards you want.

I would personally take 2 Jumbos over 3 of these BD.
Not worth price point but super nice cards! Enjoyed the video!
