I’m the guy in the chat who got the Silver Slugger “relic.” I will say though that my Hobby box was way better than that one: I got an Acuña HFA out of it too. So I didn’t feel robbed like that box would make anyone feel.
I did pull a Merrill SP out of a Hanger. My Hangers have been crazy good so far. My one Hobby box had good hits of the wrong players. I got an Adley Silver Slugger out of the Hobby, but at least it was #'d. I am Hangers all day as long as I can get them.
My One Hobby box was a dud with a relic of a very unknown player and literally nothing else. I’ve had much better results with hangers and the two fanatics blaster I bought. Thanks for the content.
I’ve watched several hanger cases and they seem to be 1-3 per hanger case. Not sure of blasters or monster boxes, but I think they’re a little more available than a heavy lumber or HFA in retail (from what I’ve seen)
i'm new to collecting baseball cards and thank you for all the information about what I should buy and what I shouldn't, I was going to get 2 blaster boxes but got a fanatics box and some hangars instead. thanks for the help
What is that Manny material from. They don’t have any all white uniform chunks. Is that from his briefs or undershirt? I wonder if the material isn’t necessarily from that player
Stryker!! Rip some mega boxes. I grabbed the only one my Walmart had and in the same box pulled. Heston stars auto /199. Goldschmidt Relic Gold /50 89 design, and a Yamamoto 89 foil parallel. The 89 foil parallels look amazing 👍👍
Love the videos! I've ripped two Fanatics boxes, and pulled a Acuña SP and a Lawler HFA. I feel like I'd be disappointed by a hobby atp, especially seeing the Silver Slugger can be the relic 🤷🏼♀️
Yeah, first hobby I opened was a Silver Slugger "relic." Did pull an Independence Day and Father's Day, plus an unnumbered insert parallel, so I kinda felt like it was a solid box even with the pseudo-relic. Next two hobbies were real relics, but less generous on the numbered cards and kinda felt like bare minimum hobby output. Which kinda goes with my gut reaction: en mass hobby is probably the best format, but it's a very variable experience with a handful of loaded boxes but a lot of desert boxes. Release day Jumbo prices feel like the better option to me, although that price has risen enough that I wouldn't buy a jumbo. I kinda think hangers are the best, tbh. Sure, there are hangers with not much to speak of, but hangers are cheap enough (compared to hobby) that a bust hanger doesn't feel as bad. But I also think hangers are going to be hard to find in stores; people who hit up restock day will get the hangers, the rest of us will cry as we crack Walmart blasters for a retail blue, foil, the three holiday inserts, and maybe a gold lol.
good stuff Stryker I have done 5 hobby boxes and got a Langford and not much else but I did get a Langford and a Merrill out of retail so there is hope for retail
Pulled a Steven Kwan auto black /199 and also pulled a clear acetate /10 Ohtani out of my first hobby box I ordered….Plus 2 more numbered parallel. Should I grade the Clear card and hold????
Ironically, that red Gunnar may have been close to making the money back on that box, just got blasted by the hangers, and some not great Fanatics blasters, though PCA parallels... Nice demonstration!
I knew I should have cleaned out my Walmart of Hangar’s the other week but thought I should be a good person and let others grab a few. Haven’t seen them anywhere since
Have you ever gotten near identical boxes? i opened two fanatics boxes and pulled 12 duplicate aqua para's it was almost a 1:1 box vs box.. was incredibly frustrating
I had the best hanger box in the world. I pulled a /799 Javy Baez and a yamamoto RC, Then I discovered the Gunnar auto /199 color match 😳 Surprisingly, it had a rc logo. The sad part is, I know it will never get better.
Snagged 3 Hangers from Best Buy yesterday and they were pretty dry. My hobby box was decent. Im probably going to give hangers another shot because they did treat me well for Series 1.
Is there no SP's in hangers? It seems that you flew through the base cards in the hangers....hope you didn't miss any, if they come in those boxes..... good break though!
Snagged a Jackson Holliday SP out of a hanger and a missing auto CJ stroud from a hanger….hobby boxes haven’t been great but I pulled an acetate finally
@@nate1111-b4u I usually think the same exact thing when I see posts like that I almost didn’t send it lol. Ya it was a week, people said the missing auto means it wasn’t supposed to be autographed at all but it has the congratulations on the back so I sent it in…we’ll see what happens
I ripped my first 3 Fanatics today. The only really good hit was a Kyle Nicolas golden mirror. Two crap numbered cards but at least I got Aquas of Masyn Wynn and Junior Caminero. Pretty damn barren otherwise - JP Martinez the only other Aqua rookie.
Easy way is to look at the serial number on the bottom of the base cards. The last 3 digits 173 are normal. If it's anything else you might have a short print.
dear mr. Stryker i have a question, i live in The Netherlands and its all really expensive over here with the taxes and stuff. is it better to buy : 2024 Topps Series 2 Baseball 7-Pack Blaster for 30 euro or a 2024 series 2 hobby box for 160 euro? i really think its a bit expensive what are your thoughts? i hope u can help. best regards! :) ( im a new collector )
Hello new subscriber here, I got a case of the hobby boxes because I watched your channel and pulled a Ceddanne Rafaela RC Topps chrome out of the silver pack with a code #CMP076464 and i can't find anything on it,can someone share some info? Of course I pulled a bunch of other cool cards.Thank you

I got one in my jumbo. Pulled a volpe auto in the mojo pack tho
SICK HITS

The hanger boxes have been absolute bangers for Series 2. Found a Royal Blue Foil Ohtani /999 out of my first box and sold it for $50 Canadian.
My One Hobby box was a dud with a relic of a very unknown player and literally nothing else. I’ve had much better results with hangers and the two fanatics blaster I bought.

I've been lucking out with hanger boxes in phx as far as availability. Walmart, target and best buy have been loaded with them.

Thanks for watching!
Just Ripped 4 Hangers … I had a Homefield Advantage , Yellow Foil & Auto in ONE HANGER & other hanger had Acuna Jr 40/70 SSP Red /10
i opened a hobby box and got a frank thomas auto and jasson dominguez hfa. my 3 fanatics boxes didn't have anything to write home about.
Hey brother, love your content. Always watching your stuff to get a feel of the different boxes. Appreciate what you do!

I finally got to rip some series 2 - went with 5 hangers: 4 numbered + 1 SP of Wyatt. Also, I got the Wemby base.

Say it with me, fellas... "Hangers are bangers!"
Praise. The. Lord.

Yeah, meijer is always pretty expensive for wax. Often the only thing you want from them is the blisters with the purples.
Speaking of Pete Crow Armstrong. I pulled the yellow crackle of him out of a hangar. What do you think that would go for
Target web site still has hangers
Hey Stryker, there are hangers on the Target website but they limit. They have been hitting Targets this week. They are probably the best format.
For retail, Hangers and Megas are the only way I go now. Most consistence the last 3 years. Love the video and comparison.
I knew I should have cleaned out my Walmart of Hangar’s the other week but thought I should be a good person and let others grab a few. Haven’t seen them anywhere since
Good man saving some hangers for others.
I've bought two Hobby boxes. They were both absolute duds of a box. I'm sticking with hanger and fanatics boxes from now on.
Have you ever gotten near identical boxes? i opened two fanatics boxes and pulled 12 duplicate aqua para's it was almost a 1:1 box vs box.. was incredibly frustrating
Stryker! Great vid! Rooting for you to pull the Fun Face!!! It's coming I feel it bro!
Hey Stryker, Target has hanger boxes online for $12.99. I just ordered 3.
I had the best hanger box in the world.
I pulled a /799 Javy Baez and a yamamoto RC,
Then I discovered the Gunnar auto /199 color match 😳
Surprisingly, it had a rc logo.
The sad part is, I know it will never get better.
Snagged 3 Hangers from Best Buy yesterday and they were pretty dry. My hobby box was decent. Im probably going to give hangers another shot because they did treat me well for Series 1.
My best buy hanger was weak af too. Target and Walmart have been where it's at.
Love the hat
where do you usually go to buy hobby boxes
I have bought one fat pack and two hangers from Target. All three had color #'d and a hanger had an Evan Carter 1989 Relic!
These will be like the four fanatics boxes I have waiting for me at home. Trust me
What do you do with the exorbitant amount of base cards you have ripping all these boxes?
Is there no SP's in hangers? It seems that you flew through the base cards in the hangers....hope you didn't miss any, if they come in those boxes..... good break though!
my hobby had two Autos! and 4 numbered cards
Hangers are bangers.. hit a junior caminero golden mirror today.
Stryker I put this out of a walgreen hange - Ceddanne Rafaela - 2024 Topps Baseball Stars Autograph (Red Rookie)-BSA-RAF-01/25
I pulled a gold crow-armstrong out of a hanger last week.
Is that jackson wolf an error card? No pirates players should be wearing the number 21. They retired the number for Clemente
Some people say it was a gimmick night where everyone wore one players number. Some say it's photo shopped
Saw an article about it. It is a photo shop job. And yes, bad choice for the number.
What’s the difference between Fanatics and Blusters boxes? You called fanatics blusters in another vid, they look the same to me,
Love the videos Stryker! Are you going to try the Mega Box?
Snagged a Jackson Holliday SP out of a hanger and a missing auto CJ stroud from a hanger….hobby boxes haven’t been great but I pulled an acetate finally
Lies!!! Haha jk nice pull. Im Jealous af
@@nate1111-b4u I usually think the same exact thing when I see posts like that I almost didn’t send it lol. Ya it was a week, people said the missing auto means it wasn’t supposed to be autographed at all but it has the congratulations on the back so I sent it in…we’ll see what happens
Have you pulled any sp yet Stryker? I just pulled the Langford today.
I ripped my first 3 Fanatics today. The only really good hit was a Kyle Nicolas golden mirror. Two crap numbered cards but at least I got Aquas of Masyn Wynn and Junior Caminero.
Pretty damn barren otherwise - JP Martinez the only other Aqua rookie.
You’re the best! Thanks for doing this!
Gah, some tough breaks there. I agree on the silver slugger, trash. Appreciate the content!
Found 3 hangers, nothing good. Aside from the 6yellow, parallels were 2 rainbow, 1 gold,orange and blue speck. Still thats 3 #’d
Mind if I ask what sort of equipment you use for your videos? Btw, Shellz Top Loader Sleeves are hands down the best.
Nice Gunnar from the hobby. But it’s clear. Hangers are bangers!!!
I bought 2 hobby boxes and they were not good. Hangers all day
How do you tell the short prints. I see pulls but can’t tell the difference.
Easy way is to look at the serial number on the bottom of the base cards. The last 3 digits 173 are normal. If it's anything else you might have a short print.
Sorry I can't find the other codes. It's buried in my screenshot folder
I love your videos Stryker!
Thanks!
Sick looking hat💯
Are topps series 2 blasters worth my walmart has some for 30$
dear mr. Stryker i have a question, i live in The Netherlands and its all really expensive over here with the taxes and stuff. is it better to buy : 2024 Topps Series 2 Baseball 7-Pack Blaster for 30 euro or a 2024 series 2 hobby box for 160 euro? i really think its a bit expensive what are your thoughts? i hope u can help. best regards! :) ( im a new collector )
@@john9929 in my opinion the blaster box is not the best format. I’d prefer the hobby box. Thanks for watching! 🍀👍
@@StrykerBreaks thanks for the quick anser :) i will save up for the hobby box then . ( subbed )
I think the Silver Sluggers look sweet
Where is the fanatics blaster link??
Just Google series 2 Topps fanatics or something
Fanatics Series One blasters were so bad for me I will never order from Fanatics again. Sticking to the cards in the wild.
I pulled a Paul Molitor Auto from a hanger. Lol.
I've gotten two auto's out of 12 hangers so far.
Im staying away from hobby boxes everyone I’ve seen so far is pretty dry thanks for all your hard work man
My first hobby ever was so disappointing after ripping fanatics and hangers.
I only got one black numbered, one gold numbered, and a relic. It was kinda ass
I bought 5 of the Fanatics boxes, and they were all duds!!
I bought eight and had big hits every other box. Hooked me! Redemption, golden mirror red crackle lawlar, an auto, and a couple good rookie parallels
I bought 3 hangers.. really bad, all the base were pretty much the same.. even the stars of mlb were the same.. no number or Color
Loaded hanger
Let's go!
That hobby box made me wanna look away and feel embarrassed for it.
Yea that hurt my soul to watch
There are way too many parallels out there. This is getting ridiculous!
Opened 4 hangers today and they are crap
stryker i got a yellow series 1 elly if you’re interested 👀
Had better luck with blasters
Will disagree with you about Card Shellz. Cardboard Gold all day!
The hobby box was complete trash those hanger boxes were way better
this video is like my purchases! Never get anything!
Pulled a George Bush card today
somebody I watched rip a hobby online I saw get the fake relic, so they are in there. What a bunch of garbage. These should be bonus relics at best.
Hello new subscriber here, I got a case of the hobby boxes because I watched your channel and pulled a Ceddanne Rafaela RC Topps chrome out of the silver pack with a code #CMP076464 and i can't find anything on it,can someone share some info? Of course I pulled a bunch of other cool cards.Thank you
