I mean, nearly half your money back is pretty good for most baseball card hobby boxes. You think the profit margins should increase just because you're spending more on the box? lol
Unfortunately, the market determines the prices for these high-end boxes. If nobody touched these at $8k, the price would come down, but fomo takes over, and people throw money away on these overpriced boxes. Thanks to you tubers like Jabs, I can actually see inside some of these high-end boxes.
You could sell all of the cards from both boxes and, still not recoup the cost of 1 box, even with the Trout & Ohtani autos. That’s not good. Very nice cards though.
Is this the video that made you realize that? Was that not already obvious? lol If you're buying boxes of cards to turn a profit, you're doing it wrong.
I think rather than a random team break, a random hits break would be better for this product. Meaning only selling 10 spots but at least everyone gets a card.
This is some racket topps has going. I remember when they first started with jersey cards. They were rare and valuable. I pulled a Nolan ryan ( valued at $500) and ken griffey jr. ( $350). This was in 1999. After that they started flooding the market with those cards and the value dropped off the table. Ever since then they started getting crazy with the prices of boxes. They priced kids out of the market. I wouldnt pay more than a few hundred for the cards he pulled out of these boxes
For most of these products its far better just to buy the cards you want. You can buy the top 2 cards from both boxes for less than the cost of a single box.
Dale Murphy card is a beautiful design, and the non base designs look sharp! The base design looks kind of cheap (like 90s as Jabs mentioned) with that foil down the side it is going to be hard to gem up, easily scratched and the Strider looked a little dull.
T Speaker had 10,195 career at bats of which he struck out 393 times. That is less than 4 strikeouts for every 100 at bats. I have seen guys whiff 5 times in 1 game.
So like most people who purchased a team, what happens if you don't pull a player from their team and someone else gets like 3 or 4 cards cuz they got the Yankees or something
Hey jabs great vid❤️oh and I just watched your 2024 hanger review another great vid, but it is crazy how much good stuff you can get like I pulled a Jordan lawlar auto /25 from one, pretty cool hope you see this, LOVE your vids❤️❤️❤️
Hi Jabs Family, I always appreciate your videos and so far I am enjoying this one too! I have to respectfully disagree on Mike Trout Auto over the Jeter/Judge. 2 HOFs versus a probably HOF ? I would take Judge/Jeter. Kindly, Jay C👍👍
There were some great names in that box, and I love actual on card auto stuff, but the price is crazy. It's an awesome product for breakers to sell, but I mean...if you're hoping for a certain big name auto that badly then you could just take that $8k, spend a little of it to buy the auto, then put the rest in the bank. I'm not one to tell anyone how to spend their money, but that $8k cost way more than my first 2...maybe even 3 cars when I was younger. Good luck if you have that type of disposable income, but I'll be happily watching this one from the sidelines haha.
So if you didn’t get a card you’re SOL? Just curious, not judging. Wouldn’t it have been better to randomize numbers based on how many cards and just do numerical numbered assignments? This way nobody goes home empty handed?
I'll take my chances at getting to games early and hoping they'll sign their cards for me. $8k is just wow. Imagine going back in time 20-30 years and telling people you can buy an $8k box of cards with ~12 auto cards. People would think you were looney.
I wish they would change the image on numbered cards. A card numbered to 499 shouldnt have the same image as one numbered to 150. Just a lazy way to make a buck.
If you paid $8k for those boxes you lost a lot of money, the prices for those boxes now are insane, and 9 times out of 10 not worth what you pay for them. It's like playing the scratch off lottery tickets, maybe 1 out of 20 is a winner, and 1 out of 100 is a big winner, if you are really lucky. People who pay $8,000 for them are losing 50 to 60 percent of their money, and that is if they can even sell the cards. I would never pay that much for those boxes, because most of them are a flat out rip-off. And one last thing, if you pay $4,000 for a box of those cards every single one of them should be a 1/1, this 10 of 15 stuff is highway robbery. If I ever paid $4,000 for 10 cards every one of them better be a 1/1 or someone is in trouble.
Why don't they just charge $20,000 a box or $50,000. Topps is just making me not want to introduce my 5 month old boy when he turns 7 into this thing I used to love..... not to mention I pulled a Bryce harper red auto Redemption in December that had a x date on it that at the time was 4 days away then when I tried to scratch it off it screwed it up where I could not read it so I emailed them and sent it into the address on the card that is not where they are located anymore and I have emailed them over and over again and they basically tell me they don't care if they don't get it in time it's my fault. It was there there product that failed to deliver........
Why would you not call them when you scratched up the back? I did the same to my Alvarez redemption as I used a knife. I called them and it took him 15 seconds to get my redemption put into the system. Also you’re leaving out some information. Such as what yr pack did the redemption come from? They’re good for years.

I started collecting in the 70s. $8k would have gotten me a u-haul truck full of packs.
Yep and the top cards in great condition are worth more the 8k... in other words invest in vintage $$
The world is getting dumber by the day. A fool and his money are soon parted.
In case your wondering I comped out all the cards from the two boxes.
Box 1: $1160
Box 2: $2000
Overall $3160/8000 not great
I mean, nearly half your money back is pretty good for most baseball card hobby boxes. You think the profit margins should increase just because you're spending more on the box? lol
I offered $600 for box 1 cards.
@@samsterling1462ik half your money back typically isn’t terrible but when you’re spending a little over 4k per box…..

Alot of dough!!
8k...and you get guys like mountcastle and schwarber in it...fk that!
These boxes prove that buying product doesn't recoup value
Worth it to Breakers and to the RUclips subs though. Especially Breakers who don't really pay/open boxes for their own PCs.
Not even close. Could have bought a bunch of Mantles, Aaron’s, Mays and Clemente’s along with a RC of every HOF from Schmidt on down.

Poor Mounty... How the heck was he supposed to sign that?
frrrr
Love seeing the products I’ll probably never get to handle - amazing -good luck all
For 8000 they better sign there name in their blood like the old kiss comics
I couldn’t imagine spending this kind of money on this product… but people who have that money enjoy! Thanks for ripping these!
Your videos are legendary, sir.
Just imagine all the nice vintage cards that can be bought for $8,000!
I think rather than a random team break, a random hits break would be better for this product. Meaning only selling 10 spots but at least everyone gets a card.
Yeah no way I’d pay 400 for a card 😂
@@ernesto1275 Would you rather pay $133.33 for nothing? 40 people just did that.
@@ernesto1275 but you would pay 266 to get no cards?
Topps putting booklet Relics with no Autos in a $4,000 box. Lol Fanatics at its best. Thanks for the video Jabs!
Nice Ohtani!

Great job! Always enjoy watching the premium box openings.
8 grand! Wow! Thanks for the video, Jabs. I always appreciate living vicariously through you on these high-end cases! 🙏
Bummer that the Yankee book didn’t have autos.
How much was a spot to get into this break?
I believe it was $125
Me and my son love watching the channel!! All the content is amazing. $8000 a box is out of my price range but really enjoying watching
They should make them thicker, like packs of cigarettes or just cube boxes. How thick does a card have to be, before it is no longer called a card?
Mike trouts game used undies could be in there and its still not worth 8k 😂
Nice Booklet of Judge and Jeter
I just looked up comps on cards from this product. A signed Julio Rodriguez 1/1 sold for under $800 bucks...wow
I don’t expect these boxes to return the purchase price, but half would be nice.
Would indeed be nice. Its too bad you have to 'hit the lottery" card(s) to even get TO the halfway point in many cases.
@@jimJass-hb1keyea you have to get an insane card to get to the halfway point
For most of these products its far better just to buy the cards you want. You can buy the top 2 cards from both boxes for less than the cost of a single box.
I'd love to take that 8k and get some level 8 50's, 60's and 70's superstar cards...
Gambling but with lesser odds in your favor. That's not collecting, but fun to watch! Also who got the Randy? haha that is a tough situation.
WOW!!!!! That Felix!!!!amazing!!!!
That price is crazy better be a Ruth,Mantle rookies
The high end rips are always the best to watch
Dale Murphy card is a beautiful design, and the non base designs look sharp! The base design looks kind of cheap (like 90s as Jabs mentioned) with that foil down the side it is going to be hard to gem up, easily scratched and the Strider looked a little dull.
What makes it worth 8k? People just like burning their money.
Are those 55pt?
So according to comps, there's literally no card you can get out of this to warrant the price? What's the Trout auto worth, $3-400?
Love that ohtani and mike trout card
Keep up the good work love watching the high end boxes
The big issue I have with the autos is any color other than blue fades extremely fast.
Beautiful cards!
T Speaker had 10,195 career at bats of which he struck out 393 times. That is less than 4 strikeouts for every 100 at bats. I have seen guys whiff 5 times in 1 game.

Love it as usual!
Jabs, what single card would you buy with 8 grand?
Graded Hank Aaron rookie
Most of the autos are the TTM guys and then the napkins come out
I used to love Beckett. When they would make me believe that these cards were worth money when they aren't worth crap!
I’d love to buy that Chipper Jones auto!
I'm speechless. Congrats Angels!
Hi Jabs Family, I always appreciate your videos and so far I am enjoying this one too! I have to respectfully disagree on Mike Trout Auto over the Jeter/Judge. 2 HOFs versus a probably HOF ? I would take Judge/Jeter.

The Trout first card of the box is so sick.

That Mountcastle auto was a disaster. IDK why they thought it would be a good idea to do that.
I wish they wpuld still put stats or facts on the back
I wish they would put at least a career stats line on the backs of these
$8K? I'm waiting for Topps to push the $25,000 box, the $100,000 box, and the $1,000,000 box.
Not sure if its Topps. but Football and/or Basketball already has $15k+ boxes.
Nice Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani autos!!!
Will Clark is the goat
On the list I saw Kevin Newman who plays for the d backs or it’s just a coincidence
Nice rip Jabs! Hey is there not a MBM video today? I was looking forward to watching it like I do every week…
No. In sunday's video he mentioned he normally picks up the MBM packages on Mondays, and since it's president's day the post office is closed
I have a ton of trout and alvarez autos and those were not even close.
Congratulations everybody
Expensive foam.
Fun video 😁
How many of those $8000 boxes do you think Topps sells per year.
Who know's,dam ruined the hobby.
@@josephestrada5214 Roger that. Damn shame.
The original price was $3,200 from Topps. The street price has gone up
to $8,000 now... still expen$ive at #3.2K!
I wish I was born into the Jabs Family. ❤
Why
@@ernesto1275 because my parents were drug addicts and thieves. I would take you as my dad over my parents.
So if you didn’t get a card you’re SOL? Just curious, not judging. Wouldn’t it have been better to randomize numbers based on how many cards and just do numerical numbered assignments? This way nobody goes home empty handed?
If no one goes home empty handed then the buy in would’ve been tripled
That’s the gamble you take when you join a card break.
Yeah I hear ya, again I’m not judging or shaking my head, it’s a gamble I guess. Fun to watch other people’s money lol.
Killer break!!😊
How much was the buy in
Great product
Jabs love what your doing
Brutal 🎉
What happens to all the people who paid but didn't get their team pulled? Are they just sol or are they given some type of consolation prize?
They are SOL.
Is it just me or does the Tris Speaker relic look way to fresh lol
Good luck!
I'll take my chances at getting to games early and hoping they'll sign their cards for me. $8k is just wow. Imagine going back in time 20-30 years and telling people you can buy an $8k box of cards with ~12 auto cards. People would think you were looney.
It’s crazy that the best 2 players you can get are in the angels which is Trout and Ohtani. And they couldn’t go to the playoffs sadly 😭
Whoever had the angel's made out good
I wish they would change the image on numbered cards. A card numbered to 499 shouldnt have the same image as one numbered to 150. Just a lazy way to make a buck.
Wow! Yeah buddy!
Unreal Shohei card❤
Wow I would not expect people to buy into this in randomizer format
Yeah when you have money to throw away, not my money though
@@ernesto1275 what happens if your team doesn’t even get a card pulled?

Topps isn't the one charging $8,000, they sold this on their website for $3,200 or so. It's the resellers that are boosting the price so high.

No way that is a piece of tris speaker bat
Ill give $600 for that first $4k box.
