The only people that should be opening these boxes (without terrible fear of loss or gambling addiction) are well into the 6-7 figure range. “Normies” have no business doing anything more than watching recycled 7 year old videos or simply dreaming. Ohtani’s 2018 chrome autos are almost to the point of (Kanji) legend. No point, at this point imo. Especially considering the lack of prominent firsts in 2018!
This is the year I seriously began collecting I remember buying hobby boxes for 35$ a pop of Topps update in 2018.. now I can't even afford a normal 2024 hobby box. Just killed the hobby for me. My local Walmart blaster boxes are 35$s
$35 for the hobby box must have been around Black Friday that year. There was a bit of a lull in hype then (some probably to do with Ohtani injury and Angels terrible).
60 card out of 200 (technically less than 60 since you receive inserts and parallels). So, you might need to buy 4 boxes of Bowman Chrome to extract one base Ohtani rookie.
That Ozzie is worth about $60, one of the better autos, yet less than 1/10th the value of even a mini box! These boxes are priced so thst you have to get a numbered Ohtani or it's a huge loss.
This series is a reminder to keep wax sealed and resell instead of opening 😅

If that box was still $35, they would have done well.

@@Metsfan7232 it was at the Philly show
Great video and may we remember the late great rocky colavito who passed away at home in Barnville PA
Love that Ozzie albies Rookie auto
Seems like just like in the majors, Darwinzon Hernandez had trouble hitting the zone with that auto
Just looked it up - 7.7 BB/9 in his carrer 85 IP. And 16 ER in 6.2 IP in 2022 which sealed his MLB exit. Did quite well in Japan this season though.
For being 2018 Chrome, those r definitely gorgeous cards, especially the parallels

Ozzie is my favorite player!! Nice hit
I love this series!
At least you turned 1500 into 100. It could have been worse somehow.
Great box and sweet auto! Stay awesome Erik!
Congrats on the Ozzie

Oooo...I kinda want that LaMonte Wade (Jr.) 1st BoChro
Is this going to happen in the future. Paul skenes might make 2024 boxes drive up in price.
Man the whatnot shoutouts really kill your videos
🙄
why is he on the angels?
Why would anybody spend $1500 on this box when you can go by the card for 400?
Ohtanis are redemptions that are expired
Good
RIP Rocky Colavita. Lived in Detroit when he left Cleveland for the Tigers.
Oh when was this as I know he has lived elsewhere never heard he lived in the town the redwings made
