Topps laughing all the way to the bank. Absolutely brutal
Actually, it’s Fanatics laughing all the way to the bank. People have to realize Topps only exists in name on the box only and it’s Fanatics that owns the business and calling the shots.
@@timmagdaleno8762 lol okay..my bad..red jacket...green jacket
I literally went to Target and there were 3 fresh boxes and I resisted the urge to spend about $112 on 3 blasters. They never have any good inventory like Chrome in the last 18 mos so I can’t believe I left them on the shelf. This video makes me feel like I walked away from a small disaster😅
Topps messed up big time. Box prices will keep falling. Chrome is such a letdown this year.
We need them to come down. Maybe this will do it. Average people can't even participate in this hobby any longer. I'm not paying $8 for a pack of baseball cards that I wouldn't be able to sell for a quarter ten minutes later. The hedge funders running Topps need to be chased into another "investment."
My brother and I pulled an Aaron Judge Heart of the City RED Refractor 2/5 from my walmart retail blaster here in Oklahoma! Odds are 1:187,000. I'm a lifetime Yankee fan and have been watching Judge chase 62 every at-bat, couldnt ask for better timing! It was funny because my brother opened one of my packs and didn't know it was the RED /5 so when he handed it to me, my eyes got huge seeing the New York in Red and flipped it over to see 2/5. I'm not a wealthy collector and only really afford maybe 1 hobby box a year on Chrismas and the occasional Walmart retail blasters for fun. So let me brag a little haha. But wanted to share because of how much the moment with my brother meant to me and pulling my guy.
This video just saved me a bunch of money. Looking like the hobby box I bought in your break will be the only chrome I buy
Same
Superfractor.... 1/3.9 million packs.... SHEEESH !!!
And just to make a point.... We ALL know exactly which "breakers" will get these ever elusive "silver packs".... Don't we !?!?!
They are producing for the collectors but charging the price for the investors. No way these should be $35. At $19.99 that would even be too much.
I ordered 2 Hobby Lite Boxes of Topps Chrome last Thursday overnight shipped. guess who's still waiting on them to ship. this will probably be my last time ever buying Topps Products from Topps Online ever again. what a mess of a scandal this release. Great Video Jabs as usual!
I did that once and they came later than everyone else’s standard mail orders. Never again
DAM!!!! Topps totally drop the ball with chrome after watching this video theses blasters look like it should only be 15 a box.
$10....and most of the time that's still at a loss.
I like how Fanatics buys Topps to fix trading cards. Yet they mess up so bad
Happy to see good centering without the roller marks.
That's awesome you're going to do that for your patrons who bought into your breaks. I only know of one other breaker who's doing the same and I have nothing but respect for that. Good luck on pulling some sweet SSPs.
I ordered 2 blasters of this and regret it. They haven't even shipped and I wish I could just cancel them. The fact that there are none of the big name SPs and autos/#'s are so hard to come by...I'm just not feeling it at all for this product. I love Chrome, but these are already more expensive than last year (and that was a huge jump in price as well). $35 may not seem like a lot, but these used to be $20. Then they were $30. They keep going up, but the quality control is going down. Maybe I'll buy more of these when the prices drop a bit, but until then I really think this product is awful. The designs and look of the cards are great, but way too many off-centered cards. Luckily retail doesn't have a million roller marks/scuffs, but overall I'm just not feeling Chrome at all this year. I'm going to hang onto my money because that's the only way Topps/Fanatics will change for the better.
agreed i think they went from 19.98 to 27.48 )2021) now 34.98 (22) hard pass
Let the record reflect that the new junk wax era has begun.
I took a shot on a blaster yesterday. I didn't get any big hit but topps issues with packaging with this worked in my favor because half the packs had 5 cards instead of 4
Happened to me today. 36 total cards instead of 32. 4 packs of 4 cards and 4 packs of 5 cards.
“We sleeve Oneil Cruz because he is awesome” definition of facts
Topps sending out silver packs for the SSP rookies. They confirmed they forgot to put them in the product SMH.
Scalpers be like, "What silver packs?" 🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ Us normal folk will never see them. Bet they'll be triple the price on eBay.
We need a class action antitrust lawsuit against fanatics!!!
Bought 3 from target today and will be returning them tomorrow
man, this is brutal. Erik you got all the crappy boxes out of the way.
That was rough! I’m going to hold off.
I was looking forward to this product, but no short prints and no Strider, not sure if I will get any
Woohoo Judge just hit 60!! Tied with Ruth
Great video! Regardless of the Topps debacle, I love chrome. Hoping to find some. Thanks for sharing!
Happy with my pack!!! Another auto from a former Dodger catching prospect!
Poor centering, paper loss, no short print rookies. Wonderful “premium” release Topps/Fanatics. Good job. 😂
TOPPS DROPPED A HUGE BALL ....there is no way to fix this problem.....the damage is to large ...
Will love to see more retail reviews👍
Hey jabs that j rod is sick!!!
Can't believe how dry the first 2/3 of those boxes were. I just watched a break of 40 blasters on another channel and that had a LOT more going on re: numbered cards. I suspect that one was an especially lucky run, likewise this was an especially bad run; truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
Anyway, I'll gladly pick up a few blasters here and there. I'm not set building, but if I'm going to throw a dart to try and hit something fun, I'd rather throw a $35 dart than a $300+ dollar dart, lol. That's IF I can find Chrome in the wild-I only just found some Series 2 for the first time last week, so I've been hurting with being able to find stuff to open.
Hey! Weird what’s going on with chrome. Are the sp’s missing in retail like hobby?
I can’t thank you enough Times in any video for longer form non livestream content it’s very enjoyable for me when I have to much time.
Watched this video half way last week. Still saw some topps chrome on sale at the local wally mart. Opened four blasters. Two numbered cards /199, a wander Franco short print, and redemption purple speckle auto all from box 2.
Box 4 - mj Melendez short print silver auto.
Not bad
I usually set build Chrome, but it's not even worth it for that this year. There are only 2 or 3 base cards per pack due to inserts and unnumbered parallels, it would take about $350 worth of blasters to get 220 base cards and you'd still be missing some because of dupes. Not only that you'd only have about a 33% chance of getting even one numbered parallel. And the auto checklist is so huge that even if you're lucky enough to pull one, there's only a 5% chance it will be one of the bigger ones. If we weren't already in the junk Chrome era, then we certainly are now.
I pulled the trigger and purchased one Blaster Box at Target two days ago, and I got a Patrick Wisdom purple to 250. So not so bad.
Glad I waited on pulling the trigger on Chrome.... yikes.... I think I'll wait and buy some random lots for cheap on eBay..... Wondering if there will be a Stadium Club Chrome release this year....
Topps knew what they were doing this whole time
Dude I bought a hobby box of fire on release day and it hasn't even shipped yet
Same. Really disappointed
2022 Topps Chrome Baseball- these are some nice looking cards. Some of the best Ive seen- Stadium Club comes close. Outside of the SSP issues, really nice set. I was able to pull a couple of autos and a sepia Wander RC as well. Was able to get 12 blaster boxes and just had a rip party all to myself. Lol. But after all that- I thought to myself, here’s the real short print- I only pulled (1) Bo Bichette base. WTF...lol...I pulled 2 Franco base RC's, the sepia, and an 87 classic. But only that one Bichette. Go figure. But like I said, really nice looking cards. Just sharing folks
Seen a bunch opened and not a lot of # cards ! Great job enjoy it!
Thankfully I watched this before I touched a box of it, I’ll be saving my money
I bet this is what Topps has always done with new product. Fisrt couple print rounds no short prints and then load them up on later runs
After watching this I feel pretty lucky to have pulled an auto out of the 2 blasters I've opened.
2022 Flopps chrome
Jake Burger and Seth Beer really should get on the same team
The silver packs should be for the people who order them
Was so hyped for this release, couldn't believe Bobby and julio weren't in the set since they began the yr in the majors, but was looking forward to the sp chase. Spent over $300 each on a few hobby boxes and won't even enjoy opening them since I know it's wander and all garbage. So disappointed. Love ur videos.
Did the sp cards not make it into the retail/blaster boxes as well or was it just the hobby/jumbo boxes?
Yeah blaster boxes don't have short prints
How much do the wander Franco rookie cards of these topps chrome sell for
I just pulled 3 today
@@WiseTelecast like 3 dollars each
JABS just found a treasure trove in a small town walmart. Got 4 fat packs of 2021 prizm 8 bucks a pack pulled a silver wander and an auto of Mitchell White also got a blaster of series 2 topps pulled the ichiro SP. fun morning
I would buy some but saving up for update chrome
Hey jabs.. I have been a fan long time.. I feel as collectors we allowed this to happen.. To many packs being opened so they print more.. That was what everyone was doing.. If we all just buy single cards and leave this product on the shelves, the companies ruining our hobby will have to change something.. Leave the reviews for jabs and others.. LET'S LEAVE THIS JUNK ON THE SHELVES.. take care Eric.. 🙌 Big Pura Vida man..
Awesome Cards Ever Enjoyed It A Lot
hey man
another great rip
I got a green sparkley # card is that not a short print?
Idk what sending to a breaker does since they have no control over what people buy/spend...and they will sell those packs for even more. For sure.
Stryker broke 40 blasters and ended up with 5 autos and a BUNCH of #'d cards and 2 negatives. Pulled a /5 Sherzer a Bichette /50. I don't get how insanely different this break and that break went.
I'M THINKING OF BUYING SOME BLASTERS. 🔥⚾🔥
Wow, even with retail, still a heaping pile of garbage. Maybe someday Topps will catch on and realize they’re ruining the hobby by just overproducing and overcharging for junk. Anyways on a positive note as always a lovely video Jabs at least you make looking at these trash bags pleasurable
Topps doesn't care about us.They are "in it" for the money.They are going to make as much money off us as they can before they leave the hobby.
It feels like the junk era all over again
What's your thoughts on topps now?
My Topps fire order was canceled. Topps said they oversold it.
“$35 not a terrible price for chrome.”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was just lucky, but I pulled Josh Lowe 1/1 superfractor from one of those blaster boxes.
Topps Chrome Baseball is really nice looking cards.
That was as brutal as meeting Bubba in the Jailhouse with a cup of beach sand. Ouch. People need to just stop opening packs and send a message. This product was $19.99 a box in 2020 and was so much better as I remember.
I think it’s crazy you paid a $1000-$2000 idk what you charge you’re customers for this break but big breakers are getting cases of hobby for $200-300 a case there probably getting blaster cases for $75. This is sad there killing the hobby from within there will be another crash coming very quick because of Topps alone. Soccer is the only thing that holds in value
I’m going to return my 3 blasters when they come in from Target
I think I will too. Tried to cancel but not an option from Target.
@@jaytay1995 me too. They make it seem like they already shipped the damn boxes.
Spencer strider has a rookie auto there
Got luck and ripped 6 last night 3 autos 8 numbered cards
I have opened a bunch of 2021 update from target and I have had a auto every box this made me sad I have a case coming and I’m a little worried now. After watching this I’m going to hobby/jumbos
Well I’ll get that numbered card graded
Opened my first today and actually liked them! More rookies would be nice but whatever. More refractors which I liked.
I bought 3 from Walmart and got 2 autos. One was out of 99 and the other was a redemption. Also got a teal of 199. Guess I got lucky
Brutal. But il still buy a few boxes lol
Magentas look just like pink fyi.
Watching this break makes me feel a little bit better for spending waaaay too much on Ebay building a '74 Topps baseball set.
What I pulled an auto in one blaster box
How do you check for short prints?
@@thecman26 thanks!! I’ll watch a video about the code stuff cuz I already opened a blaster box or series 1 and wanted to know if I had a short print
@@thecman26 thx
Too expensive Tuesday?
Id rather go buy 2020 or 2021 chrome...
Just like 2021 chrome, the hobby box will be around $100-150 all said and done
Like the product but I don't think I would buy it. Too expensive for the return
Class action lawsuit time! Fanatics ruined the hobby. Trust is broken, they must pay!
Now the cards can be rare. Just like sssp . They can be worth cash now
nice wander sepia goes for $150
LCS only give out pack pre receipt one pack for Hobby two packs for jumbo
Jabs saving me major bank this year continues. My love of the hobby is beginning to wane bc of Topps - ironic
Say it with me, C P uh, not sepp E uh. These boxes didn't offer a lot, but I always appreciate how fast you go!
It definitely looks like "Sepp E uh".
@@pokeclaws9349 a second P would give it that sound
@@drunkwaxera4945 It's just hard to change after you've been saying "sep ee yuhh" for years lol.
@@pokeclaws9349 I understand. I said "intensive purposes" instead of intents and purposes for a while 🤦🏼♂️
@@drunkwaxera4945 You’re giving a Clinic on grammar tonight lol. I thought it was “intensive purposes”. (Face palm)
Yes
Thanks Erik for breaking these. I will more than likely pass on these and just buy the singles I want.
i got one topps chrome box for my bday and pulled auto rc juan yepez and 1987 rc wander franco
Great video
First ,I just opened a box of this and I think it cool for my first box of chrome ever
I'll take my chances with a Hobby Box. Jumbo box way too pricey.
We’re my rookies at Topps
Erik, thank you again for what you do. I’ll take the $$$ I save by not buying this product and spend it on a future Jabs auction.
Thanks Patrick!
Damn I want to cancel my order from Target now. I thought Spencer Strider would have a base card at least.
He does have an auto in the release tho
Weird! You would think Topps would have at least 1 person in charge of quality control. These cards are too expensive to be so off centered and have cards missing. Selling a product that’s not even there lol. Glad they are acknowledging it though and trying to fix it!
Topps really thinking this prices will keep their sales high 😂 I hope i see shelves FULL of these boxes and never sell out. Only the consumers can push the companies to put down their prices.
Can’t see Topps Chrome being worth it. You opened $1,500 worth of product for 3 autos and a handful of parallels. 2 hobbies at $500 tops will get you 4 autos and probably about the same amount of parallels. I’m kinda glad my LCS didn’t have any yet on Friday when I went.
