My fave is the 2024 Topps update blasters! I'm probably actually in the positive for this product which is almost unheard of! Hoping for a happy new year to you and yours!
My fav box was an accident! I went to Walmart to get Series 2 UD Hockey, but some rotten scalper took all the boxes. So I said let me try some Prizm Basketball. So I grabbed a mega bix and lo and behold it had a SILVER WEBANYAMA in it! I got it graded, came back a 10. I sold it and bought some boxes for myself with some of the profit :) It was a really fun box to open. Lotta color.
Honestly, I can’t say that I have loved Topps Chrome Update personally. I’m pretty sure that I have not pulled a numbered card out of these boxes, I haven’t gotten an auto, and I get so many repeats that it’s hard to count. However, I love watching people open up chrome update. Great video Jabs!
I don't blame you, 100 bucks is a lot of money for baseball cards these days. I finally treated myself to a 2024 Prestige Football mega box yesterday, I got extremely lucky and hit a Derrick Henry Drip worth a little bit more than what I paid for the box.
I agree with Your stance however it has changed for Me when Topps recently inserted these Coveted MLB Debut Patches. To Me its better than a “Logo Man” bc of the Known Game Worn on “Debut” of Their Career. I mean could You imagine having a Jeter Debut Patch Auto or Griff Jr or whoever.
Remember folks, PATIENCE. As long as we all PASS on paying 2x or more on a current product, the more the SCALPERS suffer. They'll give up and dump the product or stop buying all together. edit: not targeting this channel or any other breaker channels. Just the TRUE scalpers out there.

Man, I honestly loved Topps Black and White this year. Has to be my favorite. I pulled a Elly Auto /5 and a Trout Auto to /5 in 7 boxes opened. Just beautiful cards with a great checklist.
Might be a conspiracy theory, might not be. However in football when one of the best cards was pulled, a $200k bounty just happened to pop up after so….. maybe
Great video! I opened, found only one mega this year, and hit a Skenes x fractor and a few more good cards. Since then, can’t find in my area. Can’t give $100+ for a $50 box. Just don’t see the reason for it. Even with the Skenes hunt. Thanks for the videos this year and thanks for sharing!!
I really hope after the Skenes Logo Patch is pulled these boxes as well as jumbo boxes still hold value with the 3 cases of jumbo I have and the 2 cases of hobby. Only time will tell if it was worth it or not!
Nice Mauricio, He def was at one point was on MLB Prospect Pipeline as a highly rated Prospect. Coupled with injury and blockage by a team competing He def has the talent to emerge as a perennial All Star.
This is definitely the first product I would go to if I had the money to spend! One of the biggest lottery tickets in all of sports cards. Whoever does pull the Skenes will have a tough choice to make.
My favorite box was a 2024 topps update hobby box. I pulled two autos and a numbered card in my silver pack. Also had a numbered Elly allstar rookie in my box.
I know it's probably uncommon but I actually prefer the original summer chrome release over the update. Aside from the Debut Patches and inclusion of Skenes, all the other big name rookies (the 3 Jackson's for example) already have their rookie cards and autographs out for the public to try and get, plus we have the MVP buyback cards. I also believe the first release rookie cards will hold more value than the update variants.
As far as We know the Skenes Debut Patch is still out there either sealed in a pack or still not revealed by its Owner? Incredibly wierd the biggest Card in the set or atleast biggest hyped and yet……? I live in Pittsburgh so i was always hopeful it would be in a LCS somewhere within. Do You think its still sealed??
Yeah this wasn’t a collectors favorite. Perhaps a Chase favorite. But based on price and there really isn’t a ton of hits when you consider Topps chrome was the primary rookie for most - except for Skenes - it’s not an average collectors good use of funds
I still think 2024 Topps update is number 1 and it’s not even close. Case in point, that first hobby box you ripped was a dud and are now selling for $500-600. You can take that $5-600 and buy 40-45 update hanger boxes and pull way way more parallels and numbered cards.
I think the regular update jumbo boxes should’ve been number one. better price point still with great hits and you get more cards even if I bust on the main l I lose 300 instead of 500 and can still sell all the silver packs for 20 bucks. . Your chances of hitting a debut patch in the Chrome are basically nonexistent
I pulled an Elly De La Cruz out of 2024 Topps that has a Black Border Misprint. The black at the top of the card and team name is shifted down about an quarter of an inch. Don't know if it's anything special.
Not even close to worth the money. For me, should at least have a chance at actually getting more worth in cards than cost of box. I don't have it like that. So I'm stuck buying the cheap stuff which is equally disappointing. Lol prestige football 2024 has been my favorite this year
Stopped buying retail this year. Fanatics has priced me out and MJ Holdings failing to update stock has taken the enjoyment out of opening packs. Saving money for select singles and much happier in the hobby.
That conspiracy theory makes no sense lol. Why would anyone hide the skenes 1/1 just to jack up the price of their sealed product. I’m sure most people would rather cash in on a potential 7 figure card over holding onto it just to make an extra grand or two on their cases.

Topps chrome update is nice cards but not worth price point! Haven't seen none at local Walmart enjoyed the video!

Thank you jabs for getting me through my illness by just allowing me to watch and relive a part of my childhood
You’re welcome! I hope you’re feeling better!

or they just drop the price and increase the print run… like any production analyst would suggest..
Happy New Year to you and the family and thank you for a great experience every day 🎉

Fantastic video Jabs!!🎉 I'm pretty sure 2025 gonna be a good year starting in February with Topps baseball ⚾️ 🎉

My friend got one and pulled a Gunnar 1/1 and a skenes /25.
@sandiegopadres2024 awesome to hear. Truly one of the best products of the year and no ones paying attention
I passed on two mega boxes I found at my Neighborhood Market like an idiot. Now I’m kicking myself in the rear.
I did as well. They were gone the next day. Haven’t seen any in the wild since
I think a 💩 load of us can say that. 😢
I wish I pre-ordered a case and held them till now. Bank!
It wasn’t in there.
why? you saved yourself some money
Glen, buddy. At this point just buy singles man.
Happy New Year's To the Jabs Family and you will have my continued support see you next year!!🎉
Might be a conspiracy theory, might not be. However in football when one of the best cards was pulled, a $200k bounty just happened to pop up after so….. maybe
Happy New Years Jab! Hope you have a great 2025 next year!
Happy new year Jabs!

Thanks for a good year Jabs!!!!
Thanks for a great year of terrific content Mr. Erik! All the best in the new year!!
happy new years man!
Happy New Year Jabs Family.
Woohoo happy new year!
I really hope after the Skenes Logo Patch is pulled these boxes as well as jumbo boxes still hold value with the 3 cases of jumbo I have and the 2 cases of hobby. Only time will tell if it was worth it or not!
Agree Jabs, Ronny may be a steal of a guy to invest in
Hot take: the Skenes Debut Patch has already been pulled and the owner just hasn't come forward yet.
probably works for Topps also so they can make more money (alot)
@@Darren-xj7fg I'd dare say Dave and Adams pulled it and now they have thousands of boxes they can 4x or more
I agree!

Happy New Year 2025 and congratulations on your wedding.
Nice Mauricio, He def was at one point was on MLB Prospect Pipeline as a highly rated Prospect. Coupled with injury and blockage by a team competing He def has the talent to emerge as a perennial All Star.
Nice way to round out the year and a good choice indeed!
Great video Jabs!
Congratulations on your marriage! 👏🤩🎊👍🖖✌️
The final card of 2024 is fitting. World Series MVP - Freddie Freeman.
This is definitely the first product I would go to if I had the money to spend! One of the biggest lottery tickets in all of sports cards. Whoever does pull the Skenes will have a tough choice to make.
I knew this would be #1
My favorite box was a 2024 topps update hobby box. I pulled two autos and a numbered card in my silver pack. Also had a numbered Elly allstar rookie in my box.
I bought a box off eBay at $88 bucks the other day. I figured I have just as much a chance as anyones else.
Hopefully I'll get some good cards.
My Walmart usually is super stocked with everything and I check it about 4-5 times a week and have never seen not 1 box up chrome update.
I loved series 2
My favorite box to open was the flagship release because I pulled the Evan Carter superfractor on release day.
Can I bye the Paris auto
Are you going to keep the Patreon Monthly boxes going next year?
A new video this early in the afternoon? At least my boredom at work has been cured. 😁
With as much as Jabs has going on in his life, he's still putting out at least 10 videos a week for his subscribers, that's pretty awesome.
Thank you Step Hen! One more video left for 2024….
Love that Ronny Mauricio card
Pulling for Glenn! Annnnnd...well, you're overdue for a big hit buddy.
I need to get into whatever business allows Glenn to ball out on baseball cards every day.
I only got 1 numbered card from my update hobby box but it was a Wyatt Langford /50 so it was fine
Also, all photo variations are refractors as well.
Jabs, do you think it would be better to buy a mega box of chrome update or 5-6 hangers of regular update?
I found two at Meijer during the buy one get one 50% off. I was shocked!
I have only gotten a little chrome this year due to the price. Love chrome though!
I know it's probably uncommon but I actually prefer the original summer chrome release over the update.

I'm buying some Mauricio myself, well trying to, haven't won the auctions yet

This is the set of 2024
Hands down 2024 update blasters IF you found them for $25… loaded
Fitting to end on WS MVP.
I think the regular update jumbo boxes should’ve been number one. better price point still with great hits and you get more cards even if I bust on the main l I lose 300 instead of 500 and can still sell all the silver packs for 20 bucks. . Your chances of hitting a debut patch in the Chrome are basically nonexistent
I got the Paul Skenes mega box...
His auto or the box
Miguel Andujar was technically the first auto on New Year’s day from a mystery box monday video
This series of 2024 Chrome Update will be more in value than 2018 Update in another year.
Yeah, no…
Definitely not
I was correct. In one video I commented topps series 2 or this and I was right
Those boxes were good? Basically pulled $1200 worth of packs for $200 with of cards
I live in Binghamton hoping I can see Mauricio in AA ball.
I pulled an Elly De La Cruz out of 2024 Topps that has a Black Border Misprint. The black at the top of the card and team name is shifted down about an quarter of an inch. Don't know if it's anything special.
Yup I agree
Mauricio so underrated
We are all Glenn 🤣
Shocking
Adios 2024… It’s been wonderful. Looking forward to a very fun 2025.
Not even close to worth the money. For me, should at least have a chance at actually getting more worth in cards than cost of box. I don't have it like that. So I'm stuck buying the cheap stuff which is equally disappointing. Lol prestige football 2024 has been my favorite this year

Its 599 currently
Megas at $50 are 🔥. Those hobby boxes at current pricing are rough.
Cant get these where I live, go to every store on stock day, every sport is filled. Baseball is always completely looted.
Go figure a mega box had more value than 2 hobby boxes combined
Thanks for a year of ripping cards!
Zack Hample lives.

Can i
My New Years resolution is to never see Henry Davis’ face again. Tell him to go away. If you have his ear.
Glenn
Steele was out of 50 in the first box for Glenn
he said that
Glen is a glutton for punishment. He has terrible luck with these boxes.
After the hype of the Paul skenes. Once it’s pulled the product will be dead.
👍😎💯
first
no way you actually hearted😮
First
you were or the other first? My what am I going to do, I need to know who was first
I messaged you
I’ll message you and whatnot my name is tieosh
If I had a million packs being that you're the pull magnet 🧲 I would let you open every single one of them cause I know I would have mega hits!!🎉
Thanks for a great year of terrific content Mr. Erik! All the best in the new year!!
Happy New Years Jab! Hope you have a great 2025 next year!
