Hey! My cards finally came in yesterday! I remember when you wished me luck on my pulls; hoping I pulled an awesome Paul Skenes card. I pulled two! Two relics: one from a blaster, another from a hobby box. Both were different. Happy ripping, bro!
I love the red parallels this year. I barely noticed them last year. I got two fat packs at Walmart and a blaster at Game Stop today. The blaster had 5 Ranger reds and I ended up with a Hunter Green, Johnny Bench and a Paul Skenes red. The fat pack have the pinks that look really cool too. I got 5 Royals pinks and a Shohei Ohtani pink. The pink looks really good with the royal blue uniform of Bobby Witt jr and the big pink bubble Salvy is blowing on his card. The pink looks nice with the blue in Shohei's uniform too.
Bro, you are the GOAT, literally went on youtube to see how these blasters are as i just got 3 at my local gamestop, and what do you know, one of my favorite channels has a video with the same sample size. The Best!!
Bought a few blasters from Target, and opened two so far. MASSIVE BANGERS! I got three duplicates of the following: Hunter Green, Barry Larkin, Frank Thomas, Eloy Jimenez, Louis Robert, Dylan Cease, Strawberry, Alvarez, Alonso, Lindor, Senga, and Nimo. So 0-99, I only got reds and White Sox (one padre), 100-199, I only got Mets, 200-300, I got only Phillies and Cardinals … how is that possible.
Ok, opened two more. The hits keep on coming. If there are any Hunter Greene, Pete Alonso, Daryl Strawberry, Francisco Alvarez, Starling Marte, Brandon Nemo, Kodai Senga, or Francisco Lindor super fans, let me know. Because I have 5 of each. $100 in blasters, and my best cards are Elly base, Dominguez base insert, Holliday base insert, and PCA red.
Stadium club is nice this year for sure, good stuff, I ordered a bunch of fat packs, looking fwd to the pinks and have enjoyed the reds out of the blasters I opened too thus far.
Did a profit challenge myself with one compact box. The 85 dollar box turned into about 115 value. Pulled a one per case Going Yard insert of Yordan Alvarez from the box. Pulled a base Skenes from the box also. The lowest numbered card I pulled from Stadium club was a black 1/1 Trout insert. I think it should have been autographed but it wasn't.
At first I was unsure about buying this product. Now I did buy the single packs at Walmart and had fun pulling pink, and red foils. Now at 8 dollars per back if I pull like that sure why not.
Nice challenge. You did well. I have yet to pull Elly or Skenes. I did get a black and red Merrill in the same blaster box. I also pulled a Tristin Gray auto. From another blaster. Also in a value pack got a red and a pink Ohtani as well as a Luis Tiant on-card base auto. Also a value pack with a pink Judge. The value packs are team centric as well I was lucky to get a few packs of Yankees and Dodgers. I think the Lawrence Butler card is so cool looking and want to pull in a green anything or Chrome.
I pulled a Xander Bogart and a Xander Bogart Black foil. I also pulled a Bobby Witt, Jr., Professionals so overall it was a great pack and I just purchased one box. I also got an Elly de la Cruz in the pack. I wish my red foils would have been Royals, but my red foils were Milwaukee Brewers minus Churio.
Corey Seager /25 from a fatpack. Grabed 4 fatpacks from walmart. Walmart was out of blasters. Nice pink and red parallels of rookies also. And rookie chrome.
I had a blaster that the first card in straight 8 packs were reds players. I would’ve rather had them all in the red parallel though. That’s my local team.
I've only opened one blaster of Stadium Club this year and my red parallels were Astros except for one Nolan Ryan. I know Ryan played for the Astros, but he's in his Rangers jersey and it's a Rangers card. I'm not sure if that's weird or not, but there are plenty of other Astros on the checklist that could have been included. I don't really care because I love Nolan Ryan and the red parallel looks super nice. I love Stadium Club but I don't open a lot of it. I'm more inclined to this year because I PC Elly and I gotta get me one of those red Elly cards. If I don't get it in the next few boxes I'll buy one and now you've got me wanting one. Really clean card.
I wasn't going to collect 2024 Stadium Club because I was already putting the RCs I liked away from 9 others Topps sets. If I put together the Topps Stadium Club Chrome set, then I am blaming you...hahaha. The Gold, Black, Green, Red and Pink Foil has a lot of chipping issues...Chrome has a lot of issues also...Green Foil and Refractors look nice because they don't come out that much. Blasters seem to be a good Value.
Hmm my reds were split between KC and Giants. Thanks for the explanation on the blacks. Had a Bobby Witt black that I went back and found. I didn't get any of the chase RCs in my blaster though. Ripped my 6 fanatics blasters... Super fun. Put a recap up on my channel. Pulled a 💥 Skenes parallel.
So my LCS here in rochester (WeTheHobby) have had a deal goin if u buy an update hobby and a jumbo, u get 20% off both....i picked one up a few wks ago did pretty good, then got another yesterday pulled the adley rutch 1/1 ASG relic....totally awesome! And what a deal too, i still have faith they have us little guys in mind here n there....love what ur doin i give u credit for rekindling my love for baseball cards. Since collecting got popular again ive stuck to football til i found ur channel (good rookie class sure helps too haha)!! Happy rippin and GO BILLS!!!!
I think yoir dominguez price is a bit steep, on ebay it goes for $2-3 not sure if its higher on 130 point. But none the less, great blasters and love your content. Being from NY (watkins glen area) its fun seeing someone "local" and get good insight into the hobby from them.
What type of box did you get? I got a Yankees box, what did you get? I got a Reds box. Bizarre. First blasters I've seen where you can describe the box by what team you get. I want a Pirates box.
Id recommend reading the book about ty cobb that pretty much outlined his life after retirement and how he would drive around with 1 million in cash amd a 357 magnum kept in a paper bag, it end pretty sad, dude was pretty much alone
Yesterday I got a 15 card pack with 3 pink exclusives, i think it was a fat pack? Anyway, all 3 pinks were Padres, i thought that was weird lol. I also got an Elly chrome!! There was a black and a red parallel in there too!
I have myself to blame for this. I told myself I would never buy Stadium Club again after 2022 and 2023. I am not 100% sure on the exact number of what I bought, but I think it was something like 12 blasters and probably 20 fat packs? My overall thought is both blasters and fatpacks are absolute terrible purchases. Like you pointed out, I would guess that at least 50% of my red parallels have edge/corner issues. The chrome refractors, black, and sepia parallels look good though. I only pulled parallels of four worthwhile rookies ... a Jackson Holiday chrome, Masyn Winn red, Imanaga red, and a Paul Skenes red. The Winn had corner issues and the Skenes had edge issues ... they would probably be PSA 8s and are therefore basically worthless. The collation was overall really bad. I think the way the math works out, I probably have around 800 total cards. Yet out of the 300 card set, I came short of completing it by around 30 cards. I pulled 2 Skenes, 1 Elly, 1 Merrill, 1 Holiday, 2 Imanaga, 2 Caminero, 1 Ohtani, 1 Judge. There were 37 players that i pulled between 4-7 cards of each. For example, I pulled 5 Manny Machado, 5 Kim, 5 Musgrove, 6 Yu Darvish, 6 Dylan Cease ... yet 1 Jackson Merill? 5 Will Clark, 6 Buster Posey, zero Jung Hoo Lee, zero Louis Matos, and zero Marco Luciano. 5 Bernie Williams and 5 Gleyber Torres, and 1 Judge, 1 Soto, and 2 Austin Wells. 5 Outman and 4 Will Smith, 1 Ohtani, 1 freeman, 1 Betts, 1 Yamamoto. 6 Hunter Greene, 5 Barry Larkin, but 1 Elly. A few other noteworthy were 6 Frank Thomas, 6 Louis Robert, 5 Eloy Jimenez.; 7 Ian Happ, 5 of 4 different Mets players. Very few Twins, Guardians, Orioles, or Brewers. Bizarre and unfortunate. Out of that bunch, I pulled 2 numbered cards and 1 auto (Pirates relief pitcher). Zero image variations. I am thinking hard, and I feel like this may be the worst result I have ever had. Back in 2022/2023 winter, I got 12 Stadium Club from Walmart because they were on sale for $12 each. I got zero autos, zero image variations, and zero numbered cards. At least I ended up with a few each of the good rookies. Seriously, I am not buying this product next year.
I like the videos. But I doubt anyone is buying a Jackson Merrill black parallel for 25$. Maybe the 1st couple sold, then it's a 5$ card. Not a hatter at all. Just sayin.
Hey! My cards finally came in yesterday! I remember when you wished me luck on my pulls; hoping I pulled an awesome Paul Skenes card. I pulled two! Two relics: one from a blaster, another from a hobby box. Both were different. Happy ripping, bro!
Dude you’re so generous ! Thanks so much for your support and congrats on those Skenes!!
Absolutely slayed the Cincy guys! Good stuff!
I have criticized your values before. Forget me. These are some of the most enjoyable card content videos to watch.
Thanks! Values can be tough sometimes
Yeah but who cares. This is entertainment.I assume youll be ripping chrome update?@westernnycards
I will do at least 8-10 of the mega boxes for sure
i havent been excited about stadium clubs since the 90’s haha loving the rip.
This set is 🔥
Same
This is the second video on youtube where all red parallels were for the same team.
I love the red parallels this year. I barely noticed them last year. I got two fat packs at Walmart and a blaster at Game Stop today. The blaster had 5 Ranger reds and I ended up with a Hunter Green, Johnny Bench and a Paul Skenes red. The fat pack have the pinks that look really cool too. I got 5 Royals pinks and a Shohei Ohtani pink. The pink looks really good with the royal blue uniform of Bobby Witt jr and the big pink bubble Salvy is blowing on his card. The pink looks nice with the blue in Shohei's uniform too.
I got three Skeens tonight, no autos and one refractor. All in one big box with the huge card.
Bro, you are the GOAT, literally went on youtube to see how these blasters are as i just got 3 at my local gamestop, and what do you know, one of my favorite channels has a video with the same sample size. The Best!!
Thanks so much!!
Missed the last few days of your posts. Great one today. The reds really stand out. Profit challenges are always fun to watch
Love the Rays theme for the red parallels 😂
Edit: commented this before the reds then yankees theme box 😂
I got a skenes out of my only blaster lol, didn’t think it was too rare😂
Let’s go!
Bought a few blasters from Target, and opened two so far. MASSIVE BANGERS! I got three duplicates of the following: Hunter Green, Barry Larkin, Frank Thomas, Eloy Jimenez, Louis Robert, Dylan Cease, Strawberry, Alvarez, Alonso, Lindor, Senga, and Nimo. So 0-99, I only got reds and White Sox (one padre), 100-199, I only got Mets, 200-300, I got only Phillies and Cardinals … how is that possible.
You got triples in two boxes? Lol
Ok, opened two more. The hits keep on coming. If there are any Hunter Greene, Pete Alonso, Daryl Strawberry, Francisco Alvarez, Starling Marte, Brandon Nemo, Kodai Senga, or Francisco Lindor super fans, let me know. Because I have 5 of each. $100 in blasters, and my best cards are Elly base, Dominguez base insert, Holliday base insert, and PCA red.
8 blasters, 5 cards per pack, 8 packs per box = 320 total cards. I had 117 doubles, triples, a few fours, and 5 Frank Thomas cards …
1 numbered card … Volpe /50
That Elly is awesome.
It's all about getting the right boxes. I pulled a Skenes base from my very first compact box. I really don't think he's short printed.
Stadium club is nice this year for sure, good stuff, I ordered a bunch of fat packs, looking fwd to the pinks and have enjoyed the reds out of the blasters I opened too thus far.
Good luck !!
Man, as a reds fan I’m very jealous. Great rip.
Fun rip! Man those red foil parallels are sharp looking cards.
getting one team on a majority of the red parallels, seems to be a common theme in this product.
Did a profit challenge myself with one compact box. The 85 dollar box turned into about 115 value. Pulled a one per case Going Yard insert of Yordan Alvarez from the box. Pulled a base Skenes from the box also. The lowest numbered card I pulled from Stadium club was a black 1/1 Trout insert. I think it should have been autographed but it wasn't.
That’s crazy!!
The red parallels are all collated together for the same team. The pinks are the same way in the fat packs.
At first I was unsure about buying this product. Now I did buy the single packs at Walmart and had fun pulling pink, and red foils. Now at 8 dollars per back if I pull like that sure why not.
Pulled a Yamamoto 3D, so I'm definitely in the green lol
Crazy ty Cobb stats and batting average. Should still have batting title with so many more at bats than Gibson
I love the photos and the team lineage in these
Nice challenge. You did well. I have yet to pull Elly or Skenes. I did get a black and red Merrill in the same blaster box. I also pulled a Tristin Gray auto. From another blaster. Also in a value pack got a red and a pink Ohtani as well as a Luis Tiant on-card base auto. Also a value pack with a pink Judge. The value packs are team centric as well I was lucky to get a few packs of Yankees and Dodgers. I think the Lawrence Butler card is so cool looking and want to pull in a green anything or Chrome.
Oh man good call on the butler green
Congratulations on hitting profit!!! Sweet Elly red rookie variation!
Thanks!!
Only time I've ever seen Cobb's BA as .367, it's been .366 forever.
Great challenge video.. enjoy your weekend..
You too!!
That was a sweet pull
The card Wisperer!
Let’s go!! Lol
My box had all Atlanta braves reds
I would give a limb for that second blaster😂
Pulled a Mets blaster. With skenes and elly base, mercucio red and sepia. Only blaster so far.
I pulled a Xander Bogart and a Xander Bogart Black foil. I also pulled a Bobby Witt, Jr., Professionals so overall it was a great pack and I just purchased one box. I also got an Elly de la Cruz in the pack. I wish my red foils would have been Royals, but my red foils were Milwaukee Brewers minus Churio.
Corey Seager /25 from a fatpack. Grabed 4 fatpacks from walmart. Walmart was out of blasters. Nice pink and red parallels of rookies also. And rookie chrome.
Love these videos thanks for what you do.
Thanks!
Awesome run of rookies man! Congrats
2nd favorite set look forward to it every year
I got 2 Skenes rookies out of 10 fat packs yesterday. And the pinks are even crazier, pretty much 3 of one team or all rookies. Bizarre.
Crazy that they have it set up like that
had 2 blaster boxes and had the Orioles and the Rangers all red parallels
Wow, crazy collations with the red parallels. I got a case coming. Curious if it does the same thing.
I pulled a gold refractor Mcguire an #199 rookie also. Great box
I had a blaster that the first card in straight 8 packs were reds players. I would’ve rather had them all in the red parallel though. That’s my local team.
Awesome video my man
Sweet rip. Starting a rumor here - Skenes is short-printed.
Pulled the Bobby Witt Jr Shimmer 5/5 out of the same thing you pulled the Greene. It’s gemmed, they’re amazing cards
Crazy!!
I've only opened one blaster of Stadium Club this year and my red parallels were Astros except for one Nolan Ryan. I know Ryan played for the Astros, but he's in his Rangers jersey and it's a Rangers card. I'm not sure if that's weird or not, but there are plenty of other Astros on the checklist that could have been included. I don't really care because I love Nolan Ryan and the red parallel looks super nice. I love Stadium Club but I don't open a lot of it. I'm more inclined to this year because I PC Elly and I gotta get me one of those red Elly cards. If I don't get it in the next few boxes I'll buy one and now you've got me wanting one. Really clean card.
I’ve seen a lot of these boxes opened that seem to have a lot of one team.
I open four blasters yesterday and the last card in each box was the same team
Cool bro.
Great video also does topps make stadium club or is it on its own
Topps makes it!
Ok Thankyou
That red Elly 🔥🔥🔥
Pulled a Paul Skenes base rookie in my 1st blaster that I have bought
Nice!!
Yeah in my 2 blasters I had twins, o's (no Gunnar/Jackson)
Always good to end im green
I wasn't going to collect 2024 Stadium Club because I was already putting the RCs I liked away from 9 others Topps sets. If I put together the Topps Stadium Club Chrome set, then I am blaming you...hahaha. The Gold, Black, Green, Red and Pink Foil has a lot of chipping issues...Chrome has a lot of issues also...Green Foil and Refractors look nice because they don't come out that much. Blasters seem to be a good Value.
Yeah the green chrome refractors have looked the best in terms of quality control
I love that collation! This way you know which top rookies and players you are chasing and have a shot of off the bat! Great pulls… GO BILLS 🦬
Hmm my reds were split between KC and Giants. Thanks for the explanation on the blacks. Had a Bobby Witt black that I went back and found. I didn't get any of the chase RCs in my blaster though. Ripped my 6 fanatics blasters... Super fun. Put a recap up on my channel. Pulled a 💥 Skenes parallel.
Sweet I’ll check it out after the bills bury Indy
Just bought 3 SC Blasters and 24 SC Fat Packs from my local WM. Wish me luck.
Good luck man!!
Are the Gold foils to 99 SSPs? @westernnycards
I didn’t even know there were gold foils that were numbered! I thought gold foil non numbered was hobby exclusive
So my LCS here in rochester (WeTheHobby) have had a deal goin if u buy an update hobby and a jumbo, u get 20% off both....i picked one up a few wks ago did pretty good, then got another yesterday pulled the adley rutch 1/1 ASG relic....totally awesome! And what a deal too, i still have faith they have us little guys in mind here n there....love what ur doin i give u credit for rekindling my love for baseball cards. Since collecting got popular again ive stuck to football til i found ur channel (good rookie class sure helps too haha)!! Happy rippin and GO BILLS!!!!
Thanks so much and GO BILLS
I have a 20% gem rate for stadium club. It makes zero sense, but PSA hates them for some reason
I think yoir dominguez price is a bit steep, on ebay it goes for $2-3 not sure if its higher on 130 point. But none the less, great blasters and love your content. Being from NY (watkins glen area) its fun seeing someone "local" and get good insight into the hobby from them.
This video was from November, so the price has prob changed quite a bit. Thanks for watching!
@westernnycards oh man i thought it said hours ago. My bad, ps i got that babe in black you mentioned, looks sick
Topps short printed Skenes in every product to keep people buying.
I hope Stadium Club gains traction. They look so good every single year. I don't like Sepia on any card😁
What type of box did you get? I got a Yankees box, what did you get? I got a Reds box.
Bizarre. First blasters I've seen where you can describe the box by what team you get.
I want a Pirates box.
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I feel like the parallels in this set are really complicated this year.
Id recommend reading the book about ty cobb that pretty much outlined his life after retirement and how he would drive around with 1 million in cash amd a 357 magnum kept in a paper bag, it end pretty sad, dude was pretty much alone
i bought 3 fat packs pulled a skenes base
How much money is all the rays players as a bundle
I’m gonna sell them cheap individually!
The weird collation played in your favor this time. Somebody at Topps is playing games.
Yesterday I got a 15 card pack with 3 pink exclusives, i think it was a fat pack? Anyway, all 3 pinks were Padres, i thought that was weird lol. I also got an Elly chrome!! There was a black and a red parallel in there too!
I’ve heard those are really good!!
Some really weird collations coming out of Stadium Club this year.
Isn't the first name on the black variation darker than the base?
On mine they haven’t been
The blaster are loaded with a certain team
$340
I have myself to blame for this. I told myself I would never buy Stadium Club again after 2022 and 2023.

The collation is a weird one, because a lot of people are having those issues. Myself included
Of course you had all red yankees in that last box 😂
It’s a requirement lol
Gave a thumbs up but can’t watch video since I just got my ass kicked by stadium club and update😅
That’s no fun lol
All good you know how it goes.
I got a red Reds box as well.
I like the videos. But I doubt anyone is buying a Jackson Merrill black parallel for 25$. Maybe the 1st couple sold, then it's a 5$ card. Not a hatter at all. Just sayin.
One just sold yesterday for 21 so I got go off what I see
if i get that card for $5 then that’s robbery hahaha i trust the prices here
