Not a fan of the purple thing. It would be nice if they had it in the main series also. But, for set building its dumb. For 50$ it should guarantee an auto, relic, or numbered card.
2/3 of the base cards are rookies or rookie debuts. The purple set is doable. Chrome sets have to be hand collated out of packs. People forget that this rookie class had no minor league experience last year. Many skipped triple A and went right to the show. They really didn't have time to adjust to the show. Trout was a nobody in 2011 flagship update, he batted .220 his first year. In September, 2020 everyone thought Ohtani and Vlad JR were washouts. Look what happened this year. I'm picking up as much as I can. I think this set has a major upside. As for the price, it ain't gonna be any cheaper from Fanatics, get used to it. Stryker was dissing this, than hit the India auto. There is great stuff in here, just not in every box. I will be 70 in April, gawd knows how I stayed interested all those years before 1990 with no hits, few inserts, no grading and rookies weren't as big a deal as today.... must have been the gum. And then I only sold my 1954 - 1958 complete flagship sets raw in binders a few years ago for over 40k. But then, I only paid $1.50 for my first full box of Topps in 1961, six weeks allowance... $14 in today's money.
Very good perspective. Yes, sometimes when you are in the middle of it you have to remember to have some patience. You may be absolutely right about this set 10 years from now. Thanks.
Bought two of these boxes just for the base rookies. Pulled a Jarred Kelenic RR Optic Black Finite 1 of 1 out of a Target mega box. Small heart attack followed, then a celebration. Been collecting since 89.
@@FatherSonsCards the best box of optic was what I dubbed the pond for all the Trout I pulled out. Out of one box: DK, DK teal prizm 19/35, base, base prizm, Mythical, Mythical prizm, unleashed prizm, unleashed gold prizm 9/10. Finished with a Ke' Bryan Hayes auto. I live outside of Pittsburgh. I have opened boxes with repeat players before but never one you want over and over.
Just uploaded my box opening. Got an auto. Had no idea each pack had a purple in it before I started opening. Definitely going to stick with only opening one.
Awesome rip! Not sure if I’ll find this product at any Walmarts here in Canada but I’ll definitely look. Favourite card was that Ke’Bryan Hayes black gold rookie card. I really hope they come to an agreement real soon and the season doesn’t get delayed. Thanks for sharing!
Don’t quote me in this, but I think it is a Target exclusive. I bought mine online. I really hope the season starts on time(even though it looks like it’s not going too😞)
I passed for $50, I just couldn’t do it with such the major price increase even though the checklist is not bad. Not really a fan of purples in each pack too, they make collecting the base set harder and being one per pack I don’t expect them to hold a ton of value. Thank you for sharing and making my decision easier 😅
It’s so hard for me to not rip boxes in my possession, but you might be better holding off and waiting. They will probably cost more in the future than anything you will get out of it.
did you know that the $ literally is a symbol for the word dollar and you dont need to type out dollar after the number? you probably didnt but now you know.
@@FatherSonsCards I’m kind of an old dude, so I can tell you that in 94 strike, the fans spoke out loud and clear by not going, but as the months went on and the playoff pushes started the parks started filling back up pretty steadily

I like the look of the purple, but yes if I was a set collector I could see that being really annoying.

Very good feedback!
these boxes will be $250 in 2 or 3 years watch
2018 with soto rookie class is going for over $400 right now

Wow! That was a great pull! I have not been lucky enough to pull a one of one yet(or maybe never). Congrats!

Thanks!
The Black Gold looks great! Thanks for sharing
Your welcome!

Congrats on the auto! I am with you, one and done for me as well.

@@FatherSonsCards No Target’s in Canada :( guess I’ll pass unless I can find it reasonably priced on eBay.

Your welcome! My pain is your gain! 🤣
Nice rip. I'm not a big fan of the die-cut but you got 2 of the greatest CF's of all time so I guess you won there! Lol
Yep! 🤣🤣.
To win the box U need to pulled Jered Kelenic purple rc with either his base or with a India Purple rc.
I agree. Definitely need a parallel of some kind. I was disappointed in my purples, but over all my box was just alright.
I've seen a few rips of these and, yes, a lot of off-centered cards. It makes me not want to open the ones I have.

Nice rip, I don't mind the $50. dollar price. Rather pay a little more to topps than a stapler or flippers.
On that we agree! I have never bought from a flipper. Refuse too.
did you know that the $ literally is a symbol for the word dollar and you dont need to type out dollar after the number? you probably didnt but now you know.
Where did you get it?
I grabbed it online at Target.
@@FatherSonsCards
Thank you 👍🏻
They know damn well the fans will return, might take a while but they will be back
Probably. It will turn people off for awhile though. I wonder how long and what it will take to bring people back. I guess we will see.

I thought the same thing in the 90s
These boxes will be 100$ plus this time next year WATCH. THANKS for rip
I wouldn’t doubt it!
Thats union for ya
wow. lot of rookies ,, interesting
Definitely loaded with rookies and rookie debuts.
@@FatherSonsCards I think I’ll pass. Thx for the vid ,, needed this
You sure love to hear yourself yak
Seen a lot of these opened. Garbage
It definitely is not on the top of my list!
