Pretty absurd. I think the card industry is about to be in for a rude awakening. People aren't gonna by 250$ boxes of cardboard when their struggling to eat or put gas in the car. The covid rush is over.
@@kenosabiindeed. In turn, box prices will eventually come down as Topps has problems in relation to selling the majority of their product at such high prices.
Unfortunately, expectations have been dulled of what one will receive in a hobby box in recent years, and I feel that this is a complete fail at $250. Fanatics/Topps have to be making a killing with these products selling at these ludicrous prices, especially those products that are parallel heavy (those parallels likely cost fractions of a cent for them to produce.) At $50-60 a box, this would likely be a great product, but not at 5x that price. The best hit of this case isn't even likely to make back the cost of their box, and this video just reinforces the idea that buying single cards is the way to go. The video was fun to watch though!
Rubbishy. I enjoy watching these preview rips, thanks Jabs. I should keep tabs of all the money I've saved by watching other collectors crash and burn on these products, so I don't have to!
Same I'd give it a C grade as well. I just bought a box and got Robin Yount auto /25, Will Brennen auto /299, and a Barry Larkin relic /400. Not bad but I was hoping for a bigger hit 😂
A fanatics breaker found so many 1/1s that it pushed me away from any interest in these premium releases. I'm gonna stick with A&G and chase some dinosaur poop
I likes the fact that in one pack there were my fellow Mexican ball players, Alejandro Kirk and Javier Assad and then in the next one Alek Thomas, who played for Mexico in the 2023 WBC.
Sorry for everyone who bought in, but as the bottom continues to fall out of cards again and people stop buying, prices will dip. And hopefully less releases to water down everything.
What a disgrace that case was wow,better off buying the lottery tickets JABS compares them to imo.Even thw Soto was "nice" but not really a banger for $250 a box.90% of the relics were napkin patches as well lmao,hilarious.
Straight dusted. Breakers are destroying the hobby. No one in the their right mind would pay $250 for that but guess who will? Breakers. Which means the prices will never fall and the hobby will continue to be inaccessible for most.
I bought one box of these but after seeing what people got I regret buying it, I mean maybe I’ll get something amazing but with one box chances are from what I’ve seen I’m not even gonna get $100 in value but I guess I’ll prolly just open it soon
That’s exactly what I was thinking. As a Mariner fan I might just be bias but Jabs seemed very bummed out to see that card. I’d add that to my collection for sure.
So, any of the archives auto boxes deliver one auto in a slab for 70 bucks, three of those is 210 dollars, mlb needs to guarantee at least 3 autos per box to compete, plus there are relics with no mlb holo stickers to specify what game any of these were used in, for 250 dollars I expect those types of incentives, at least three autos and a game used relic with proof of authenticity, not just topps word, hard pass
@@NoahSimms-nd1ys 100%, I was speaking idealistically is all, I wouldn't touch a lot of these higher end products regardless, but if Fanatics wanted to make these actually worth the price that would be my suggestion
For $50 I would think about buying one of these. For $250????? I don't think half the case was worth $250 combined.
Imagine how many Hall of Fame rookies slab 9’s you could get for 250?

100% agreed!
Agree. I remember buying a case of 2013 Tier One for ~$700 and was full of awesome hits. Oh how things have changed. This case was weak for that price
In a high-end product, if they’re going to include a Relic, they should all be patches in my opinion
I’ll wait to pick up singles on eBay for $10…
Wow mostly $5-10 cards. Maybe worth $ 50 a box
This was a bloodbath. Great looking product as usual, but the price is absurd.
That was a little rough to watch. These are lotto tickets for sure. I may wait to think about getting these.
Thanks Jabs you always save me money. These lottery tickets are always a waste of money.
Loved the video Jabs! Pretty crazy that we had 2 MLB players in this break!
Carlos Santana
Kevin Newman
when is jabs going to do a new release video for 2023 gilded? waiting awhile now...
It's crazy to think card companies are taking the consumers money
Junk. Junk. Junk. The card market is so watered down none of this crap is going to hold any value

Rough break. $3000 case for a Soto and Glavine auto...
I don't think a single one of those was worth $250. Big yikes.
Rubbishy. I enjoy watching these preview rips, thanks Jabs. I should keep tabs of all the money I've saved by watching other collectors crash and burn on these products, so I don't have to!
IDK... I'm thinking $100.00 a box is a far better price.
I agree; fun to rip, priced too high, tough to get a monster but lottery ticket case hits; I’d also give it about a C.
A little expensive but a fun box. Would probably pay 175 max
Honestly the design reminds me of panini donruss or one of those panini designs
Same I'd give it a C grade as well. I just bought a box and got Robin Yount auto /25, Will Brennen auto /299, and a Barry Larkin relic /400. Not bad but I was hoping for a bigger hit 😂
Any no purchase necessary info on these?
A fanatics breaker found so many 1/1s that it pushed me away from any interest in these premium releases. I'm gonna stick with A&G and chase some dinosaur poop
Amen. All I buy
Happy Birthday 🎂
One tear after you open this product after last year never again
I’d rather get an update blaster
Wow that was awful…love the Soto but if that’s the case hit, yikes.
is there 1/1s in this set?
I likes the fact that in one pack there were my fellow Mexican ball players, Alejandro Kirk and Javier Assad and then in the next one Alek Thomas, who played for Mexico in the 2023 WBC.
OK - I can see where Pasquantino might not want to write out the whole thing...
Cant believe people still spend money on this stuff
I have only seen 2 boxes out of 3 cases that were worth over $250. This product need to be $150.
These are so not worth $250. Topps is screwing people.
I'm so ready for holiday!!
$250 is way too high. Glad i watched this rip first
Sorry for everyone who bought in, but as the bottom continues to fall out of cards again and people stop buying, prices will dip. And hopefully less releases to water down everything.
99% garbage sorry to all that bought in
What a disgrace that case was wow,better off buying the lottery tickets JABS compares them to imo.Even thw Soto was "nice" but not really a banger for $250 a box.90% of the relics were napkin patches as well lmao,hilarious.
This is the 3rd case I’ve seen ripped today. The other two we huge. So I think after you open more your grade will increase.
If I ever buy a box of this..they need to call my next of kin..
Jabs - opened some holiday today and hit a Santa Claus card, any idea on the odds?
At $150 these boxes would be decent. I know every box can't be a banger but at $250 now I am staying far away from this product.
Happy birthday to you!! 😊
Nice cards...difficult to get return of investment though
Happy Birthday Erik. Enjoy it!
Love that Juan Soto advanced stat card
How do I get ahold of you

Let me know if they want to sell that Konerko.
Example 1000 of why I collect only pre 1973 Hall of Famers.
I agree, if its 150, much more reasonable and doable. But 250? Not a chance i go near one.
What's with the "BB %" on the bottom of the Soto?
Walk percentage
this was painful to watch. Worried since i have 5 of these boxes coming my way
Maybe a $200-300 in value for all 12 boxes combined 🤔 especially beyond the Soto
wow highway robbery Topps
Seen a guy open 4 and. I was not sold
Rough ROI there! Stick to buying the players you love only!
Jabs thanks for continuing to open these products regardless of the quality - you perform such a public service by showing me what Topps NOT to buy😅
On the fence with these
I'm pretty sure none of these got their value back. I'd give it a D-
Half the price would be a little more reasonable.
Some great singles to pick up in this set but terrible ROI and definitely not worth buying sealed.
$250 a box. Really weak. C- at best.
When he said C- I was thinking he was being extremely nice giving it that grade, Topps should be ashamed.
Good rip
C
Minus
GREAT VIDEO THE CARDS NOT SO MUCH 🔥⚾🔥
Pretty rough I don’t think 1 box yielded 250
Another item I'm not going to carry in my shop, absolutely a huge ripoff
Relic cards # to 400 is ridiculous
More like Tier 10.....Topps management has to be rolling around like a bunch of Wall Street fat cats.
250 a box no way. Some of them boxes didn't even have 100 dollars worth of cards
Cards look great but there is no value there. Entire case and not 1 box paid for itself
If you took the Soto out I wouldn’t pay 250 for the lot. Terrible F
Thanks for the video, Jabas! Always appreciated!! 🙏
How sad seeing the same recycled images of players
I think around $180. On average you will spend $60 on something else to pull an auto or mem. $250 is just making it another overpriced product.
A lottery ticket if you win leaves you millions, but a Topps hit, how much can it leave you, $500-$800 😅
Not worth the price point agree with C- rating but cards are nice! Enjoyed the video!
Not my cup of tea, but fun to watch you open them. Go Rangers!
Disrespect to Ray come on man he won a Cy young lol
That’s exactly what I was thinking. As a Mariner fan I might just be bias but Jabs seemed very bummed out to see that card. I’d add that to my collection for sure.
A $3k case that returned maybe 25% of that 🤮
Tier One is more like Tier Zero
So, any of the archives auto boxes deliver one auto in a slab for 70 bucks, three of those is 210 dollars, mlb needs to guarantee at least 3 autos per box to compete, plus there are relics with no mlb holo stickers to specify what game any of these were used in, for 250 dollars I expect those types of incentives, at least three autos and a game used relic with proof of authenticity, not just topps word, hard pass
@@NoahSimms-nd1ys 100%, I was speaking idealistically is all, I wouldn't touch a lot of these higher end products regardless, but if Fanatics wanted to make these actually worth the price that would be my suggestion
I think you made 250 on the whole case 😂😮
I’d never pay money for that. It was horrible.
Not a single box had a value of 100 bucks
Roughly $ 80 a card at 250 a box
Bought one today. I got $250 worth of garbage. D+ at best.
Topps Tier 2
Lol how many of these do you get your money back? But you expect mystery packs to do so.
$5 to $10 for these cards at a show...where they won't move.
One, maybe two boxes got over $50 in value. Sorry, but this in an F in my eyes.
Always a great rip
Overpriced @ $50 p/box!
Nice
The content quality doesn’t justify the price.
Paid 2k for everything, got 40.00 worth of cards
Forget about it
Junk. More bloat from Topps.
Soooo not worth the cost. They’re very nice cards, but that showing??? Nope. Small sample. Happy Birthday E.J.!!🎉
Most cards are high numbered autos and napkin relics, pretty crappy product
Sticker junk my friends..
This was absolutely absurd for $250. A bunch of old school "stars" that are barely worth anything. Sad product.
$3,000…..ask yourself do you want to spend $3,000 to not even come close to breaking even.
