EXPECTATIONS VS REALITY | An Honest Take on 2024 Topps Chrome Update
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 дек 2024
- Many, many years ago the hobby held Topps Chrome Update in high-regard as a retail only set with significantly lower production than it's summertime Topps Chrome counterpart. Flash forward to 2024 and Topps Chrome Update is now a full fledged hobby & retail release that is just as big as Topps Chrome.
Despite playing home to some of the biggest rookie cards of Paul Skenes, Elly De La Cruz, and others, as well as featuring the ultra-coveted Rookie Debut Patch 1/1 cards, Update Chrome is a different beast these days. In this video we talk about the history of Topps Chrome Update, what it is has become, and what to expect if you decide to rip it. Enjoy!

As long as you guys keep giving them your money this will never end.
What a great way to turn $600 into $100.
It's ridiculous. There are just a handful of cards driving this insanity on this set. It has turned from collecting and having fun to a lottery and gambling. This is why I will stick to singles for the most part now. I'm priced out of trying to pull the cards I actually collect if I go the hobby box route.
@@spitzer1113 TRUTH
Don't do it if you don't want to
I miss the days from ‘17, ‘18, ‘19 driving around to every target looking for the 14.99 or 19.99 topps update mega boxes. They were under the category “toys” at Target so you could use all the Target toy coupons to buy them. The glory days
That’s brutal 😅 Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you though!
I’m sitting this release out. I GOT KIDS TO FEED TOPPS!
Appreciate you putting up the odds. Thank you for editing the videos your posts are quality and a good watch.
That clip of the kid going from laughing to crying killed me. LMAO
I appreciate your honestly about boxes and their pricing.
There are 250+ Debut patches this year. I agree about 2018, when it was only Mega / Fat packs, I miss going into Target to buy them.
Prices are nuts. It’s the year of one player taxes! Driving collectors out. You have the Skenes tax, Caitlin tax, Jayden Daniels tax, Bedard tax, etc. I feel bad for people who just want to rip and collect! Sucks.
I LOL'd when the "WASTED" popped up.😅 Man those boxes were brutal. I'll wait til the prices go down. Thanks for the vid, RGL.
If Skenes is not pulled and I think topps holds that card for as long as possible, these cards will only get more and more expensive
Ouch bro. Geez talk about some boxes there. Congrats tho on being close to 60k subs and your 100,000 order yesterday in the breaks
Absolutely brutal. I just cannot make myself buy these. I did get a couple hobby Stadium Club and pulled a red /50 Chrome Skenes auto which was very nice.
Love the cards, hate the results for the price! Thanks for sharing, because I don't watch breaks and would probably never see a Breaker Box otherwise.
Victor Scott did have a card in Topps chrome. I pulled his xfractor. I'm not worried about this product yet I'm into Stadium club right now.
Good review. Now you have me thinking about reselling the boxes I have coming in from Topps 😂
Thanks for reviewing this product RGL!
Jumbo box and I got absolutely smoked. Juan Soto Celebración and Paul Skenes base were biggest pulls. All 3 autos were stickers of no-names
Celebration are beautiful inserts beyond rare
Does PC stand for pitcher collection? If so you hit the jackpot today.
What's up bro? You got slaughtered on this rip. To be expected though w/ this product - the pulls are getting so tough. Good to get that box out of circulation for sure. Wish me luck on my incoming hobby and jumbo!
I've seen 20 breakers delight boxes opened. None of them broke $200 worth of cards. Not sure why it has 5 or 6 Refractors in it, but that seems excessive when, on average, the sell for about $4 each or less.
Thanks for the realness, RGL 👍
Excited to open all my 2025 RCEB's sometime in 2026 and get a Clayton Beeter auto from these packs.
Great video some rough boxes but fun product have a good one keep up the good work!!
Nice video, tough break. Great info RGL
Got a box of these and was horribly disappointed. Didn’t keep a single card. I usually keep a few here and there just to keep. Didn’t keep any. Literally the same cards as the 24 chrome box
That’s about how I thought it was gonna go. Thanks for sharing.
Rough. It's unfortunate how this product is this year but the chase is always appealing. Thanks RGL
Theres over 200 debut patches this year
Hey, guys where’s the best place to buy a box of these?
The best place to buy these right now is probably DACardWorld.com
I join a whatnot stream for hours yesterday the amount of skenes is nuts definitely drive the price down
What brand are those top loaders? The cards go into them so damn smooth....
I use ultra pro
Lol $40 in singles for $600 is wild
Daaaamn this absolutely brutal the Matos card is decent but not good enough those two Auto were horrendous pour one for the homie
I got a 1of 1 printing plate card of nelson velazquez anyone know if its good? New to this card collection
I pre-ordered the megas got them and 48 out of 84 cards has print lines. I thought I could another mega from target yesterday and same thing. There is no QC for Topps or Panini
brandon belt last played for 2023 with the blue jays lol
Can you find a jersey debut patch in the mega boxes?
You can find them in any configuration
@ gotcha. Thanks man!
Strep throat blows. I had that back in the middle of October. Mine was bad enough where I had to seriously go to the ER.
This product would be good to keep sealed. It’s like playing deal or no deal. Every time someone else opens a box and doesn’t get the grail the unopened boxes should gain value,imo.
you said it at the end RGL. Bit of greed on Fanatocs behalf bumping up the checklist on this one. No need for it with flagship stuff imo, leave the 500 player checklist for prizm lol. Keep at it bro
2024 Topps Chrome Update only has 200 base cards.
Breakers delight boxes, where are these sold? It seems they go straight to local hobby stores and it's up to those shop owners who they sell them to, obviously consistant regulars they know; the point of the question is that particular product wont be sitting on the shelf at Target right?
And why is it "worth" it, b/c Topps lists that particular product as a 1:446 chance of getting an MLB Debut Patch Auto in it, compared to 1:28,000 or 1:5,000 for the Hobby and Jumbo Hobby respectively. So is $600 worth the chance at $1 mil, $4 mil, whatever the 1/1 could command.
The Pittsburgh Pirates are offering if someone pulls a Paul Skenes MLB Debut is two seasons tickets behind the catcher for 30 years and other stuff as well
Will you be selling the cards pulled in this break ?
I bought 1 Jumbo from Topps for $420. Hobby shops want $600. I am hopefull for some decent stuff.
James thanks for your honest review product just like UD for Bedard ugh
I got my box in the mail yesterday, haven’t opened it and wish I hadn’t bought it off of the Topps website (FOMO got me but you can still save yourselves). Would’ve much rather bought a museum box
Why do you wish you didn’t buy it from topps website?
@@chrisfree9 To clarify, I wish I had not bought any at all. The website was definitely the best place to get it, price wise but I meant that I would have spent my money on something else.
Great Video but I'd rather open 12 megas for $50 each & the return would be way better.......should do a retail vs hobby video.....
Yeah I got a skenes image variation out of my mega box
Hi RGL hope you have a good weekend 😎👍 NS Canada 🇨🇦
I got two of the hobby boxes for 600$ but i wanna wait until it builds and maybe move off them come december if theirs is still value in them
Update is kinda rough. Thanks for the review
We’re going to have to see a lot of Skenes. Me when I go to the club.
Im sure hitman will pull a skenes auto in his video
skenes and the pirates is the reason this is crazy
Funny thing, in Europe they don't have retail boxes anywhere, all you can get are hobby boxes, but they don't charge in US dollars but in euros, do it's even more expensive for us. Topps is selling the hobby boxes for 220 euros and the hobby jumbo boxes for 440 euros, unbelievable...
Once the Skenes Debut Patch Auto gets pulled hopefully prices will come back down
I've scanned 1,200 cases so far at the warehouse I work at looking for the Skenes SF......no luck.....yet
You don't have to lie to kick it.
@@insomthegreat 1,327 so far as of today
@@rockcundiff1761
Who's paying you to look for something thats already been found?
Tough luck man. Crazy price for those ty for opening so i dont have to
Geez this is insane the prices but if I ever do get one I swear I would probably quit buying topps if I got boxes like this.
You should see the current prices of those boxes
I’m allergic to DUST ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the preview
that rookie rush is a decent card
Yes victor scott has cards in chrome I have 17 of the rainbow so far lol…
It’s ridiculous I can take my family of 5 to a ball game and get ridiculous seats for that price on boxes
For the MLB Debut Patch cards - wish they’d have the rookies wear patches for their 1st week in the Bigs that way they can do Patch cards /10 then do a gold patch on their first ever game for a 1/1.
Even w/250 patch cards - with them being 1/1’s - it’s not a realistic chase.
Brilliant idea though, just another example of how Topps products are so much better than Panini…
Would love that rogers gold if you end up selling! (I know you collect giants)
If we could only refrain from paying these prices, they’d drop. Let them collect dust. No value in these boxes the way they are boxing them and overprinting them.
I’ve seen the mega boxes are doing better. Thanks for sharing
This is outrageously expensive. The average collector like me will never get/afford something like this. Crazy 🫤
That’s why there’s retail
At $200 per auto, even if you had throw away money. Why would you want to spend it on this trash.
Want to gamble..buy $600 in scratch off's you will do much better.
Or drop $600 on a sweet auto of someone you actually want.
@carlsd8686 well said 👍👍
@@carlsd8686 better off going and play 3-$200 hands of blackjack really
@@stacky54shoot craps at casino. Better chance of winning 💵💵💵
I’m interested in the Blanco Orabge
the fact products are designed for breakers over regular consumers is part of the problem with pricing being the way it is
Those boxes are easily 1000+ right now
I had $450 in buyback last year, spent it all on Chrome Update 2023, and I'm still mad about it to this day 😂
Stadium club or update this year!
Leaf and wild card are the future.
Just thinking to myself... Maybe Diddy ripped wax and that's why all the lube... Sorry for the dust RGL
that's insane. I wouldn't give them more then $25 per box.
Erick fedde was with the nationals for the longest and then the white Sox and now the cardinals
How much for that Colt Keith 👀
You said inflation for getting rid of the jewel case, I think you meant cutting cost to increase profits 😆
Skenes, Skenes, Skenes
Over over rated. Could be a flop next year as a Sophmore. Seen it way too many times.
Sure nothing is for sure and yeah with this set it very possible but he did pull 3 skenes
Glad these are out of my price range bc they have been brutal
Did the rich people cut in line and CT Scanned the great boxes to keep on this too?
Please bro, ditch the background music. Your commentary is gold.
This release is great but at same time I ask myself.. is it? It’s literally skenes and debut patches. Majority of rookies gave true rookie autos in regular chrome. It’s absolutely disgusting that hobbies are going for $275
That hurt my soul!
Let's be honest: is there any product out there where you aren't lighting your money on fire when you open the seal?
"I wonder if he knows the giants very well"
"You want a Brandon belt"
"Oh okay then"
Would you have preferred if in editing, I cut 'Brandon Belt' and recorded a quick 1 second clip of me saying Tyler Fitzgerald and inserted that instead?
Everything is done in one take on this channel because I believe in being 100% authentic. I don't do 20 different cutaways to record a 2 minute intro. If I can't remember something off the top of my head or I slip up as I'm ripping, I put that out there for everyone to see.
@RunGoodLife I 100% would have had a memorable laugh if that happened. Wasn't trying to be overly negative. You pop up on my algorithm and I appreciate your vids and views.
Jumbo has been brutal. I've seen a lot of good stuff from hobby, but the price on both are terrible. Mega's actually seem pretty good for $50.
Panini and Topps are making boxes to expensive for the average customer. Just my thoughts. Singles prices don't support the cost to open.
Would have been better off buying $600 in beer and returning the empty aluminum cans for the same amount of money as you got on these two boxes.
breakers delight is for breakers case breaks... 2021 update blows and for some reason i opened a lot of it
$400 breaker box and I me auto is a sticker 😂
I’m very disappointed make no mistake about it Michael Rubin just unloaded $1 billion worth of fanatic stock. Some unsettling stuff is gonna inevitably change the hobby. Hopefully it’s not gonna be too bad.
I was never interested in baseball cards until I saw the Bowman anime cards this year. Topps hooked me into this world from that. I gotta be careful how much I spend now on the Skenes chase. * Insert Ralph laugh * I'm in danger.
I pulled the Jonatan Class Debut patch. I know he's a Blue Jay now but figured you'd appreciate it.
i don't get why people are buying update. it is absolutely BRRUUTTAAALLLLLLLLLLL. The price is so absurd lol there is no way I'm touching any of that grossness.
🔥🔥🔥
Gamble on a 6 figure card…..odds are crazy bad….99% of cards it seems are worthless….put 600 on a key card…..imagine after years of collecting…what potential you would have…I bought 17 cases of non-sports 30years ago…..still have a lot leftover after all these years selling….best of luck….
Or a Patrick Bailey autograph like I got 😂
As it will continue.
Mega boxes are loaded. Much better than hobby and the original 2024 topps chrome
RGL im suspicious of you. Every video I see of you you are the goat greatest of all time the goat of breakers the realest…. His name…… RUNGOOOOODLIFE!
Jankoski played for the rangers a couple years must not have gotten a card
lol that was great hobby box compared the one I bought
