Last week (I finally picked up a hobby box today) was a sacred time for card collectors -- the annual release of Topps Series 1. Each year during the months leading up to the release, my Dad and I would talk about what rookies to be on the lookout for and in general who was going to be in the flagship release. Then, after we would each get our first box, we would tell each other who we found. This is the first year without having Dad to talk to about all of it (he passed away in July 2021). Though, I'm sure he'll be looking down in anticipation of who I pull out when I rip the packs open later tonight. You're a STAR for doing videos like this, as it helps me get through this time of year. Go Tigers (I was named after Cobb)!
Sorry for your loss ty. Pulled a mega series 1 off the shelf yesterday. Did get the 35th anniversary wander and a rainbow foil ohtani I didn't have. So that was fun. 😀
As usual, this video is informative and entertaining. In fact, the value series has always been my favorite. I agree that the Acuna SP is the star of the show. Take care!
@@RampageRepacks nice! Tatis is my guy🤙. One of my best moves since getting back into cards was loading up on Tatis rookies when they were cheap. Like 2 for 25$ for Topps Chrome Tatis rookies..🔥👀
This video was made 4 months ago, but I just found it today. I’m digging around RUclips to learn the most I can with this 2022 series I am starting our collection. I decided to STAR-t collecting again to give something to my first child (son) who has just turned 9 months. I look forward to following your videos to learn more about this year’s collections and getting back in the game. I’m creating the same moments I had with my dad collecting baseball cards in the 90s. Your video was great too! Starting with the Chart of PPP in the different types of boxes is exactly what I needed. Cheers my friend!
There is one thing in this world that I love more than life and that is watching mike trout just hit balls straight into star(s). Nothing in the world can compare. Loved the videos man. Keep it going
Star.. I started watching your channel a couple of weeks ago after being out of the hobby for 30 years. You have restarted my addiction to cards!!! Thanks!!!😁
Hi Stryker - I really enjoy watching you open cards, talking always to the people watching you and the people in your breaks. I have never been in a Break, but if i go into one I know it will be with you. Around how much are breaks for like Series 1 Topps cards? Just curious to see how much it would cost me. Thanks, and have a really good day. Barry P.S. I forgot to tell you that you are a STAR.
Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold…
I really appreciate you breaking down the value of the different types of formats….Out of the dozen or so videos talking about this set, I learned the most from yours. All of the numbers point to 1 thing….Wander is the star of the set, and all Topps sets for the 2022 season.
⭐️You are the 💫 Star 🌟explaining these cards for everyone to easily understand. Appreciate you for taking the time and for all that u do to keep us well informed and updated. 🏅You’re a RockSTAR !!🎖
I really enjoyed watching this video and being able to see what I should buy when looking for certain cards. These videos make you stand out in the breaking community. You really are a STAR to all of your viewers.
Hey Stryker, order the hangers on day 1 from Walmart and pulled the Wander STAR of MLB in the first one. Thought it was more rare as I’d only seen hobby opened to that point. Still a sweet card for the PC
First time sitting through one of your breaks. I really enjoyed the 1st portion of the video, the breakdown as to which format gets you more bang for your buck, and not to mention the multiple inserts of star players. Keep breaking boxes, I'll keep watching.
Awesome breakdown of the differing values of each box type. So many star cards in each set these days with all of the modern players and old time inserts.
Quick question STAR Stryker, does the 1:228 odds sound off for HFA for Jumbo & Hanger boxes? If you look at most of the odds within the set, the difference between hitting something in a jumbo & hitting something in a hobby is typical 4:1 harder in the hobby. However, the HFA is exactly same odds for jumbo and hobby at 1:228 odds. If you go by the standard 4:1 ratio difference in other hits, jumbo odds for HFA should be 1;57 packs (228/4). Just by going off this 57 packs number, you can judge that you would hit 1 per case in a jumbo case (57/10 boxes = 5.7 boxes to hit one) & 6 boxes in a case, so therefore a Case Hit. Would be great to hear your feedback on this & if my math is off
After watching Jabs family saturday showdown this past weekend, I can confirm HFA is one per JUMBO case. So the 5.7 jumbo boxes out of 6 in a case makes sense (he opened 6 cases & hit 6)
Your value sheets are so helpful to people like myself who are just getting back into the hobby! You also do a great job of explaining the short prints and what hits to look out for. It can be difficult to know which star rookies to look for but you always point them out. Appreciate the effort you put in and the knowledge you share!
Loved the video on which type of card packaging gives the best value for your money. The Star package is the hanger box. Loved the star card in the short print Acuna.
STAR POWER!!! Man that Acuna SP was awesome!!! Hope he has a monster year if they will get this season going. Wander is already a STAR I wnna see what he will do with a full season.
Just getting back in the hobby after a 25 year hiatus, and the hobby has changed a bit since the days of the wax packs. Really enjoy the info on the channel. There are a ton young stars coming into the game.
Glad to hear retail is the best value. I don’t have a card shop near me. My Walmart and target don’t have cards yet, but I am excited to open some 2022. Star Wars is the greatest!
I just wanted to thank you for your entertaining and informative videos. You are one of the few breakers who I feel isn't trying to deceive people. You have integrity. It's not easy to find in this hobby. However, I won't be buying any new Topps product ever again because of their refusal to replace a damaged Bobby Witt Jr Chrome #99 autograph out of their Bowman product. I've seen them replace other valuable damaged cards but in my case all I got offered was coupons. I wish I were kidding. I'm telling you this because I think it's an important cautionary tale. Hopefully down the line, Fanatics once they take over won't treat their customers in the same manner. The hobby unfortunately isn't the same as it was when I began collecting in 1987 as a teen. They could've done the right thing, and they refused to do so.
I always love seeing the price per pull breakdown. I run similar sheets for scratch off lotto in Texas but they tell you the cards still out there. As always, you're the star.
Thanks again for another informative Value Series video. This hobby can get VERY expensive so it’s nice to have a little help & guidance. Keep up the Excellent work & continue to shine like the STAR you are!

my favorite part is the way you throw the trash over your shoulder, good info also

STAR
Getting back into the hobby after a few decades! Love your videos!
These videos really help beginners to the hobby, like myself, and with this info I hope to become a Star like you in this field.
Never clicked on a video so fast in my life!🤙🏽 I pulled a Juan Soto Home Field Advantage from a hanger box! Soto will be a star for years to come
Is it a case hit?
@@haydenphoenix3836 Yep! If you want to see the video, it's on my channel👍
I pulled a Tatis from a blister!!! Was so pumped!!!

I’m excited for the cards this year, seems like a lot of good young stars are going to be getting printed this year!

Acuna short print looked sweet, and you are right that he is one of the stars that always takes a great photo.
Always a good day when Stryker uploads a pack opening. These secrets and tips really make him an
All STAR breaker
Luis Robert is a STAR. He will be amazing this year just watch
As always, supplying people with the numbers! Best breaker around 🔥
From someone who is getting back into collecting, those spread sheets really are a big help!! Those are the stars of the video.
Thank you so much! I look forward to collecting the new stars of the MLB
You are a super STAR for breaking down the cost to odds ratio on all of the formats for us like that.
Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold…
That Acuña was the Star of the video. Cool card!
Beat the odds with my jumbo. Pulled a Father’s Day and Advanced stats. You’re a true star for breaking down the numbers.
Bought 4 blasters total over the weekend and hit the Acuna and a Posey homefield advantage in 2 different boxes- it was a great start to my weekend!
Always enjoy watching you break these cards. Nothing more satisfying than pulling a young star from a pack.
Great video ! Thanks for explaining all the different types of cards , especially the star of the boxes, the hangar box!
You actually saved time showing us the highlights of the non-recorded video, you’re an efficient Star of RUclips
Stryker you a a Star. Your videos have brought my son and I closer opening baseball packs and watching your videos!!!!!
I really appreciate you breaking down the value of the different types of formats….Out of the dozen or so videos talking about this set, I learned the most from yours. All of the numbers point to 1 thing….Wander is the star of the set, and all Topps sets for the 2022 season.
Thanks for the spreadsheet breakdown I never would have guessed that blasters are the way to go. Once again you are the “star”
The Acuna short print was definitely the Star here... and the value series makes you a Star to all of us! Thanks, Stryker!!!
I love you you show the odds and price per cards all the time you’re the STAR breaker for that!!
You are the Star of the show, thank you for breaking down the product and the data that represents the value of the product!
That Acuna short print was absolutely the star of the show! Thanks for showing all the different formats in action!
⭐️You are the 💫 Star 🌟explaining these cards for everyone to easily understand. Appreciate you for taking the time and for all that u do to keep us well informed and updated. 🏅You’re a RockSTAR !!🎖
Steph Curry looked like a true super STAR last night scoring 47 points in the NBA All-Star game. Keep up the great content Stryker!
Looks like buying blasters will be the true star of series 1. Thanks for the breakdown Stryker!
I really enjoyed watching this video and being able to see what I should buy when looking for certain cards. These videos make you stand out in the breaking community. You really are a STAR to all of your viewers.
Jason Hayward only had his picture taken in front of the ivy. Oh yeah, Stryker, you’re a star!
VERY informative. Funny how entertaining it is to watch a guy open packs of baseball cards. You are the STAR of blasters & hangers!
Ripping it up!!!! U just got me back into my childhood past time.
Hey Stryker, order the hangers on day 1 from Walmart and pulled the Wander STAR of MLB in the first one. Thought it was more rare as I’d only seen hobby opened to that point. Still a sweet card for the PC

Love just ripping packs !! All of the stars are coming out tonight!! No need to pick me ! Great video! Laughs as usual!
It's going to be a fun time searching for Wander cards in Series 1, he will definitely be a huge STAR for a long while!
Love the spreadsheet! Star quality excel usage. Blaster packs appear to be the stars.
Your videos are like stars making my day brighter and brighter. Have a great day.
Wander is my favorite STAR. Thank You for making the price break down sheet!

Haven't bought any cards in years. Bought three hanger boxes. In the last pack of the last box I got a Wonder Franco gold number 863 of 2022.
Thanks for doing the value videos.... will pick ip a few hangers to STAR in my days opening

I think the STARS of the MLB inserts are really cool, and its nice that it’s easily accessible for all collectors!
Stryker you are a star for putting together these value series! From what I've seen the Wander rookie is somewhat tough to pull out of retail.
Thanks for the pack odds info. Really digging the STAR of mlb inserts.
I’m star ting to really think about getting back into the hobby after a lot of years thanks for all the info and the rip.
New to the hobby thanks for the education. I plan to start with the 22 series 1. Biggest star I see is Wander of course.

There are a ton young stars coming into the game.

Thank you Stryker. Your analysis helps us to be star collectors. I passed on a hobby and jumbo. Waiting to find blasters or hangers.
I only like the parallels of the STARS
Enjoyed watching all the baseball STARS you found. Looking forward to finding my own.
Gotta love collecting these super-stars. Shooting to the stars with Kelenic!
Glad to hear retail is the best value. I don’t have a card shop near me. My Walmart and target don’t have cards yet, but I am excited to open some 2022. Star Wars is the greatest!
Sometimes I see Patrick Star when I go into the ocean. Very cool.
