I really appreciate how you weave in and explain some of the insights and reasons for choosing a box like this. For somebody who likes to collect but might also want to capitalize on selling a few that don’t go into the PC, it’s always fun and educational when watching! Just like the time you opened some Topps and was trying to make your money back by sending in for grading during their sale event! I loved that video!!!🎉
Also with the prospects the bottom edge of the card is rounded and goes almost half way up while the veterans are squared and only go a quarter of the way up
Bro. I never knew that about deciphering prospect versus rookie by the location of the Bowman logo. Your knowledge once again amazes me. I appreciate it brother.
Bowman is the gift that keeps on giving, well said RGL….I’ve been saying that for years to all my friends that exclusively rip basketball and football:-). Don’t get me wrong, I love basketball and football but with baseball you can sell the cream off the top and then wait for the cream to rise again. Great minds think alike😊, I love your content
DUDE! I Love your videos, thank you! If I may humbly make a suggestion, please lose the music bed while you are talking/rippin/breaking, it just adds too much noise that is not needed. Otherwise, great work and keep up the great work! Thank you!!
Bang, joendry is a top chase. He’s like the 4th or 5th best guy you can pull. That card paid for your box. Dude said he hit on Casas and didn’t realize how big the Vargas is 😂
Fun fact the reason why the numbering is different is because they based on the value of real gem sapphires . For instance a red sapphire is a ruby a papa sapphire is a special sapphire in a Indian county that's purplish. And the others such as orange sapphires are not that valuable. Pretty neat thing they did
totally random: is it crazy to anyone else to see a vinny p rc in a 2023 set?? dude is like 26 and has been on our radar forever and played like what at least half a season in 2022? anyway, beautiful product as always.
@@joemarsh2050 hey I’m this hobby that’s all we really care about anyway right ? Lol the younger acuna is really good Luisangel but the other one Bryan is not
For how much you pay for a box of this stuff, a person should get at 3-5 autographs and 8-10 SP or SSP. Ridiculous and Shameful how Fanatics is ruining the hobby!,
If you get 8-10 SP or SSP a box, they aren't really short printed and everything would be worthless. Sapphire retains value because of how hard it is to actually pull top prospect parallels.
@@RunGoodLife there are 27 parallels in the ‘23 Topps Chrome set alone and all told there are 5 different sets of Topps Chrome with 59 59 parallels, so is there such a thing as SP or SSP anymore?? Every one of those parallels has the same image unless they are a variation? Of those parallels there are 2,784 Numbered cards in the Chrome version alone. Of all 5 sets there are 5,064 Numbered cards. So explain to me where the Short Prints and Super Short Prints are? I don’t think those numbers even reflect the autographs!! Fanatics is ruining the hobby and all of you breakers are too blame too. I’ve been a collector for 45 years, I’m not an investor or a band wagon breaker like the majority of people are nowadays, notice I don’t even call you people collectors. I do it for the fun of it and being well rounded in the 4 major sports leagues, even tho I don’t collect football or basketball anymore because of what those leagues have become in the last 3 -5 years!!

Padparadscha Power
Was in a break and an image variation superfractor was pulled of Francisco Alvarez. I believe it’s only the base 1/1 that are the Padparadasha (sp?)

I opened 2 boxes as well. 3 parallels in each. Got a Corbin Carrol Image Variation/25 and an Adley /99 from the same box.
i always appreciate the quick rundown of the product
looks like it will be a fun year for Sapphire
RGL....your content is great...really like the down to earth approach, but you always deliver accurate and insightful info...keep up the good work!
Solid video, beautiful cards for sure! Love this set, thanks Rungoodlife, cheers man!
good results on the parallels.
Nice rip! Thanks for sharing.
Love Sapphire. I'd be happy with those boxes. Grats.
The Vargas looks centered 💥

I like the color switch
Tip regarding variations: prospect variations won’t have the “1st” label because the variation wouldn’t be a 1st card anymore.
Great video RGL! Sapphire is such a pretty product

Ill buy that Turang!!
Such an awesome looking set. I really hope price comes down.
I'm a fan of Bowman sapphire more than topps sapphire. My best hit so far i would say is a salas image variation
Purple used to be to 10 in bowman but they are now numbered to 250 in regular bowman
Is this an online exclusive or is it available at LCS?
Nope, online only product.
@@RunGoodLife yea that’s what I thought! Will you be doing any breaks?
I got 3 color in both my 2 boxes.
Oh snap the papa radasha blood diamonds are back
I like Sapphy
very nice man
RGL ⚾
I feel like more often than not, boxes have 3 hits…. Wonder if later boxes will have 1 because it seems like they’re front loading this product

Let's go!
yesss
It’s only the sapphire with the wonky numbering system. Regular bowman releases are normal with the colors.
Bowman Sterling has off-number parallels as well.
Hahahaha fantastic opening.
Baseball....🤨🥱...enjoy...😂
Elian isn’t a variation, the photography makes it look that way but that’s his standard photo , also he’s not good enough for a variation lol
Juan Soto’s little brother is supposed to be good
No he’s not, he wouldn’t be in the product unless he was Juan sotos little brother
@@UncommonSense83 just looked at his line you’re right must be only selling bc he is Juans brother.
@@joemarsh2050 hey I’m this hobby that’s all we really care about anyway right ? Lol the younger acuna is really good Luisangel but the other one Bryan is not
Not worth the price tag and its hard to get any good hits
Come on you know we are here for the long winded corny intros. You ripping product is just the cherry on top. 😂

Nothing wrong with a little complain mode activation
You can tell he just likes saying the word padparadscha. Said it way too much.
You talk to much
