Quality looks good, the design is good but retail is very watered down compared to years past. Fun to rip but rip with caution if you want to make a little bit of your money back. I just don't see the value again from Topps retail in Chrome. Nice looking inserts and cards but for $35 a blaster, it's just not a good value compared to $20 blasters in the past that had a much better chance at autos and parallels. Awesome job as always!!
Ya these blaster prices have got to go back down… I’ve literally quit buying anything panini cause of it… almost twice the price, with less than half the hits… trash qc… just uhhggggg…..
Although these aren’t the best, at least from what I’ve opened, these are MUCH better compared to the 2022 blasters in terms of odds for autos and numbered cards.
Topps have done it with this product man. This box and their Platinum as well. My first box of this I hit a Rookie Auto, a Yellow Wave rookie, Wander Franco Pink (unfortunate) and a numbered card to 199, I believe it was. And lots of great rookies. So Topps has my full attention
There's a lot of negativity surrounding this release (people upset about new parallels like the tacofractor). I love Topps chrome and I think this looks like an awesome release. I honestly think people take this too seriously, the new parallels seem cool to me! Thanks as always Stryker!🔥
@StrykerBreaks want to hear something sick? A few weeks ago my local card shop had a few ohtani RC so I bought the bowman base and a couple of others....... he had the bowman Chrome for 15 bucks, and I didn't buy it!!!!! selling on eBay for 500 bucks!!! Literally sick to my stomach!
I know this video is 3 weeks old but I’m a new member. It’s weird that u bought 10 boxes and didn’t get any numbered cards. I’m a pretty unlucky card puller and I got 2 numbered cards out of my first 2 blasters, then another in my 4th. I’m seeing a good pull rate from this release I’m happy with it. I love that you’re doing a Pc video, good to see breakers who are collectors as well. Great video!
Yeah they are cool, you’ll get some good rookies and maybe some parallels, but with the print run on them, the base and blaster parallels aren’t gonna be worth much. No way these blasters are worth 35$. Should be not a penny more than 24.99 at max.
Striker, you’re great at doing this and being entertaining. I also appreciate the first look…because now I can skip this because of the lack of numbered cards just like I did with series 1. I don’t know why they decided retail has to have terrible iterations of the major runs but that’s fine I guess. I don’t have to buy it. I wish others would lay off so Topps might make this worth buying again.
Those cards look real good. I just pre-ordered 3 hobby boxes at $125 per. And I’m getting darn excited now. Hopefully Topps wasn’t too stingy with parallels in hobby.
Stryker, i preordered a jumbo chrome and im awaiting its arrival, there is a raw Bowman Platinum sterling trout auto of 25 with nice little patch for 600 at my lcs. Would you trade the jumbo chrome and see if he can lower the price? Im asking your 2 cents
I think our boxes got mixed up, I'm hunting every Cron card since he is my favorite, that second box would of been perfect😆 I got a Corbin as one of my pinks and a /99 Grove green Solar😭🙌 Hoping to get another box soon :)
I do like the look this year. I'm liking the insets. Hoping hobby boxes don't skyrocket if the blasters don't have the value. Will be interesting to see the odds, since hobby boxes are currently only about 4 blasters and have the guarantied hits.
These are your best style of videos. Feels like a tv show. Perfect length. Get to see all the new cards, don’t have to worry about getting great hits cuz they are going to your PC. Love all your reveal videos
Well from what I see, great cards. But 10 boxes 1 auto no numbered cards. Tells me that's why they took odds off packs too keep it more hidden away out of mind out of sight. I'm betting there is lime 60 million blasters out there
This will be the first year in quite some time that i pass on topps chrome. Nothing against you personally but would be nice to know if that one box by itself contained the auto.
Holy moly !!!!!!!! This set is beautiful from the pinks to the auto color everything is A++ and I agree these are the best color pinks I’ve ever seen 🔥🔥
I'd like to make a counter argument to the making your money spent on the $350 if I could. You hit an Adley Sepia which is great but how many boxes will have a card thats even worth the risk of grading? I've sent perfect cards in the past into PSA and gotten 7,8, and 9s. Chris Sewall aka Baseball Card Collector Investor Dealer just did a video where an Arenado 2013 Chrome Auto got a PSA 6 1st sub, a PSA 5 second sub then he sent to Beckett and it got a 9.5 GEM with a 10 auto grade. It's no longer economically feasible to play the mind games PSA plays imo. I will buy some Chrome to stash and some to open but I sure won't risk grading with the blatant POP report manipulation going on.
This is my issue with card grading…. It is left up to a human and humans are emotional and fallable… until it’s taken out of our meek hands I just can’t get behind it…
I have collected Bowman and Topps chrome for years - This year they want $60CDN for a blaster? I can't justify that! I'll wait until they end up in the bargain bins!
The autos have a 2018 bowman chrome feel! Love the white boarder. I feel like retail will be the best value per price but if you want to make some money buy jumbo. Myself I think I will buy blasters and a jumbo. I also love that they have more color and not just the chrome finish
Looks like they printed the hell out of it this year if no numbered cards out of 10 boxes and only 1 $5 auto. Guess I’ll stick to hobby and jumbo. Good to see the quality is better this year though.
Ouch. I thought there would be a lot more numbered cards in that many boxes at $35 a pop. Sepia's and Pink's are just a tick above a base card. Please let hobby stuff be better!
Legit looks like the QC issues from last year have been largely fixed and GREAT rookie list! I have a hobby box arriving this week, pumped! Thanks Stryker and cheers!

I agree. The "Value Box" Seems like potentially the weakest format.
Amen!!!
Ya these blaster prices have got to go back down… I’ve literally quit buying anything panini cause of it… almost twice the price, with less than half the hits… trash qc… just uhhggggg…..
I pulled an adley auto out of 99 these are bangers
Although these aren’t the best, at least from what I’ve opened, these are MUCH better compared to the 2022 blasters in terms of odds for autos and numbered cards.
Only one complaint. Why didn’t you sleeve the ohtani
Topps have done it with this product man. This box and their Platinum as well. My first box of this I hit a Rookie Auto, a Yellow Wave rookie, Wander Franco Pink (unfortunate) and a numbered card to 199, I believe it was. And lots of great rookies.
So Topps has my full attention
Topps Chrome is one of my fav products design-wise....even the box is gorgeous
Thanks!
Thanks for the tip!
Can't be worse than last year.....let's go! These look sick! Can't wait to grab some.
I liked everything but the lack of numbered parallels. That’s my bag.
There's a lot of negativity surrounding this release (people upset about new parallels like the tacofractor). I love Topps chrome and I think this looks like an awesome release. I honestly think people take this too seriously, the new parallels seem cool to me! Thanks as always Stryker!🔥
amen to that!
I think people’s biggest negativity with it this year is the abysmal #’d chances….
@@APinTheAK it was the same last year though I opened a ton of it
You have a center measuring tool?
I really like that judge tech. Color
How didnyou buy early. I don't even see that option on the website
They had a preorder for the public on Topps.com and that’s where these came from.

Love your vids! New to the hobby and watching your vids his gotten me more into it! hoping to do a big opening on my b day next month!
Might wanna go back and Hype on that Royce Lewis RC!!

Can I get your opinion? I found a box of heritage from 2022. (Retail)Should I keep it sealed or rip it?
You go the automotive 👍 for the Sepia Adley 🎉
Judging by your opening the QC looks alot better than last year! Pinks look vivid and clean vs last years as well!
Which are the best top loaders to get for chrome cards?
UGHHHH. I LOVE CHROME... CAN'T WAIT TO GET MINE. THANK YOU FOR SHARING STRYKER!!!
Didn't know you were Michigan guy. Go Blue!!!
I can’t get excited about pulling cards with the same pictures as series 1. Wish they would change them up. But I’ll be looking for tacos lol
I prefer the same images on chrome as flagship. There are lots of other images across other products but flagship and chrome share a photo usually.
Loved the preview. Thank you Mr. Stryker.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I got my email confirmation that they sent the blasters but haven't shipped the hobby boxes yet. I was hoping to get them on the 26th. Who knows.
What’s you fav team
How much for that Machado base?
Love that Pink Hunter Brown. These cards look CLEAN
No shipping update on my jumbo yet
Did you choose faster shipping? I got 2 jumbos with standard shipping and hope I get em within the next day or two
I used the standard free shipping option
I have the Clayton Claus card. Cool you had it within reach. He’s my main PC guy.
The Titans inserts remind me of SSC's Dynasty inserts.
A little too tough for me. I got a nice regular hobby. Mareno purple auto, Corbin Technicolor, a bunch of good base rookies. I'll leave it at that.
This video put my luck into perspective, opened 2 blasters and got a buxton auto /50. Being from Minnesota I’ll take it.
The centering looks better but it’s the overall value for what your paying for is it worth it or not.
Can’t wait for your analysis of which format is the best Stryker!
I think all the good parallels are going to go to the .. new Breaker boxes ..
Was that kwan numbered
Sweet, SGC Special $9 per card, that's a great deal.
I prefer good centering. But, it seems PSA and SGC kill you on surface for ultra-modern glossy cards.
Pinks are very sharp this year!!
Hello your channel is very nice, on what website may I purchase these cards?
Yeah they are cool, you’ll get some good rookies and maybe some parallels, but with the print run on them, the base and blaster parallels aren’t gonna be worth much. No way these blasters are worth 35$. Should be not a penny more than 24.99 at max.
I don't think I'll rip any of these. did just grab 2 megas. I have a hobby and a hobby case break I'm in with 2 teams. love chrome this year.
Nice to see topps did not forget the good rookies in topps chrome this year would be nice to see more numbered stuff and autos in this though

Ya I quit buying anything panini cause of this… now I’m not gonna have any thing to rip…
How many ohtani and acuna u get
How do you have these already
Those cards look real good.
I just pre-ordered 3 hobby boxes at $125 per. And I’m getting darn excited now. Hopefully Topps wasn’t too stingy with parallels in hobby.
u will be fine. hopefully a /10 shohei for u!
Where did you get hobby for $125?
@@flyalaska1973 some place called Northwest Sportscards. But they haven’t shipped yet. And I think their prices are gradually going up already.
Stryker, i preordered a jumbo chrome and im awaiting its arrival, there is a raw Bowman Platinum sterling trout auto of 25 with nice little patch for 600 at my lcs. Would you trade the jumbo chrome and see if he can lower the price? Im asking your 2 cents
Weird you got no #d cards. I got 2 in the only box I opened in this product
Curious what you meant by sending the trout refractor to the upgrade shop?
He refers to getting cards graded as the "upgrade shop."
@@alexdavis3967 thanks, see I thought that at first but that particular card in psa 10 will eventually be less then grading cost
I think our boxes got mixed up,
I'm hunting every Cron card since he is my favorite, that second box would of been perfect😆
I got a Corbin as one of my pinks and a /99 Grove green Solar😭🙌
Hoping to get another box soon :)
I pre-ordered 5. Value boxes that I got a shipping notice on, and one Jumbo box that hasn’t shipped yet. This has me excited to get them.
I do like the look this year. I'm liking the insets. Hoping hobby boxes don't skyrocket if the blasters don't have the value.

Thanks for watching!
Wonder if you run those pinks sepias rookies at 24 hour auction. On eBay of you could make money bc it’s so early in the release
I opened two blasters and I got 2 autos. Not the best players but this product has been a blast for me
Well from what I see, great cards. But 10 boxes 1 auto no numbered cards. Tells me that's why they took odds off packs too keep it more hidden away out of mind out of sight. I'm betting there is lime 60 million blasters out there
Did you notice any print marks like Bowman 2023?
This will be the first year in quite some time that i pass on topps chrome. Nothing against you personally but would be nice to know if that one box by itself contained the auto.
Uhhhh bro what?!?
The buyback program makes blasters decent enough to pick up a couple but hobby is the best value imo
These would have ruled my school back in the 80's
The Chrome autos are nice!
I like the color on the blasters
Another good one. I like the Look of them too.
What pt top loader do you use for chrome? I can never slide my cards in that easily, but if I can it means I feel like they are too loose? thanks.
Also not top loading Volpe's? Come on.
I topload stuff after the videos. Gotta keep the show moving along ya know?
@@StrykerBreaks I know, just messing around. What size top loader you use for chrome? 55? 75? Thanks.
Nevermind, you just answered in your hobby box video.
Looking good on this product. Don't know if I wanna spend 35 bucks for a blaster box but I probably will get something in this.
Holy moly !!!!!!!! This set is beautiful from the pinks to the auto color everything is A++ and I agree these are the best color pinks I’ve ever seen 🔥🔥
awesome review! Who do you think we should start holding onto for the mvp buyback?
Acuna and Ohtani
Looks like the cheapest route is to by singles in a few weeks. There will be plenty of deals on rookies since they’ll be plenty out there
Definitely going to buy that Kwan Future stars as a single
Gotta make sure you put the potential mvps off to the side
Mvp by back makes this product a no brainer for me. Loaded rookie class plus credit cards.
I'd like to make a counter argument to the making your money spent on the $350 if I could.

This is my issue with card grading…. It is left up to a human and humans are emotional and fallable… until it’s taken out of our meek hands I just can’t get behind it…
Is there a way to return a card back to topps I never seen a card so of center and the sad thing that was the best card of the pack and it’s bad
I have collected Bowman and Topps chrome for years - This year they want $60CDN for a blaster? I can't justify that! I'll wait until they end up in the bargain bins!
The shitty part is that they won’t… it’s to popular of a product. I literally haven’t seen Topps chrome on any shelves here in the last 2 years…
Wouldn’t that Acuna you pulled be a buyback if he’s MVP
I need some of that
I agree quality looks goods also agree "love the tight pinks " 😂
Pink really pops!
The autos have a 2018 bowman chrome feel! Love the white boarder. I feel like retail will be the best value per price but if you want to make some money buy jumbo. Myself I think I will buy blasters and a jumbo. I also love that they have more color and not just the chrome finish
Love the future stars. Hey since you threw that Yordan sepia with all the commons instead of with the other sepia, I will take it off your hands 😅
Try watching these videos is 1.5x speed and you will forget you changed it after 2 minutes. Just have you time back, that's priceless 😉
I love that comment about the PC. You're right, most breakers are just after that cheddar. Opening cards is fun!
Prop no chance of getting jumbos from topps directly in time for release day, but after this break I'm liking the release
Looks like they printed the hell out of it this year if no numbered cards out of 10 boxes and only 1 $5 auto. Guess I’ll stick to hobby and jumbo. Good to see the quality is better this year though.
Better than the 23 Prizim for sure
Future stars look really good too
It’s beautiful Clarke.
The pink before was a little too "mothers day" I think is a good way to put it
Buy or Sell on Elly ?!
Is it just me or did the number of cards per pack vary between 3-5 in a lot of the packs?
Blaster help building complete sets
I have 2 hobby boxes and 2 blasters coming this week. Can't wait to open some fire.
Good Luck!
wonder how many MVP cards you pulled..
Nice kershaw
Here we go boys!!!
Ouch. I thought there would be a lot more numbered cards in that many boxes at $35 a pop. Sepia's and Pink's are just a tick above a base card. Please let hobby stuff be better!
Pulling numbered cards out of chrome has always been pretty tough.
Where are the numbered cards?

Ordered couple monster boxes from Fanatics. Those look amazing!! Don't care if there's too many so don't comment negative!!😂
