i started in 05 and stopped in 15...didnt kniw about the values till someone on yt said so i looked over my 70,000 plus cards...result...23 trout rookies and first year...been selling them off since 2022.
I pulled the only Trout update I ever owned out of one of these. Didn't even know who he was at the time and I just opened the packs and stuck the rookies and inserts into one of the packs until I read about him in Beckett a while later and saw the card was worth a whole $20 so I went back and saw I actually pulled it. I was stoked but once that card hit $100 I traded it for a Griffey Jr Mariners auto from some upper deck product and that later got lost in the mail in a different trade. I thought man a modern base rookie card at that time going for $100 seemed like that bubble would burst no matter who the player was because it always had and boy was I wrong. I wish I had that card back now for my RC collection but mostly because I actually pulled the card. I forgot what came in these value packs besides the update packs until I saw you post these. I still have the empty box with a ton of other old empty boxes of things I bought back then because I'm a hoarder. I wish I could trade for a Trout update somehow because I can't see myself spending cash on one anytime soon.
I remember back in 2011 and seeing these boxes in aisle displays by the hundreds in Walmart stores just sitting there... Who would ever thunk these would ever be worth a 1,000 dollars back then... I mean these boxes just sat and sat and never sold out... Alot of them went back to MJ Holdings and I know Blowout got a bunch of them also... Nobody was looking for this product when and after it came out... I bought several as they were a cheap break, but the only card everyone was chasing at the time was the Bryce Harper Bowman chrome auto.. That's why Topps put the 1 Bowman chrome hobby pack in the box and the gimmicky Harper chrome card that came in 3 different color variations. I also remember my LCS had hobby boxes on the discount shelves of the 2011 Topps update hobby for $39.99. Luckily, I bought 2 and put them away along with 1 of the $9.99 Walmart boxes. I don't have them anymore but I made out well on all 3 boxes... Thanks for sharing a ride down memory road!!!
Ouch - lottery to get a trout. I had a few packs of 2011 that I just graded (got 10’s) and resold for around $200 each. The famous “might as well just buy the trout” than try to rip one. Fun rip though!
I should've kept track of how many codes I entered on Topps web sight, I won a lot of buy backs and some of the Red diamond die cuts codes were only way to get them, I tried building that diamond anniversary set fell short, did end up with multiple Freddie Freeman, Jose altuve,( anniversary) I tore so many boxes I ended up with like 25+ Freeman rookie that I still have today plus target insert, 2 anniversary, Walmart black insert. Back then people were buying those boxes just for the Harper, trout wasn't a name at that time. If anyone is trying to finish the anniversary set I have hundreds of them I kept, no trout though
You should call it 'Trout fishing'
Glad u gave that card away man! Somebody like rgl would keep it n think nothin of it

found those value boxes......1200.00 to 1900.00! blaster update box.....1100.00
1000 dollars just crazy. I haven’t bought cards in 4 years plus. Enjoy my old cards I got from past years.
Smart man!
I prepared my ears to explode listening to Erik scream at the top of his lungs just in case we got the Trout.😂
I think he would have given a hint in the title or outright spoiled it if he had pulled the Trout. lol
The Diamond Anniversary cards are still the best looking topps cards to this day !❤
"Gas Can" - OK.
Thanks for sharing so we could see!!
That harper and lee are hits to me lol

Hi jabs sorry I haven’t watched you in a while. I love seeing your videos again tho
Welcome back!
@@JabsFamily ❤️
From 10 bucks to 1k for a chance in 21 cards, probably not a good investment.
If it weren't for JD Martinez's 16 long balls, my Dodgers might be below .500. Not exaggerating....
dang theres some real value with this,

Great Video & I remember getting these box's on clearance for $6.95 which is crazy.......
Love that diamond anniversary card of hosmer

I wish i would have bought all of these when kmart sold them for $9.99.
I got one of these from toys r us when they first came out, crazy what they sell for now
I started collecting in 2010. Too bad I didn’t know the boxes would’ve sold for so much. I had like 10 of those diamond boxes.
Have been waiting on this one! Thanks Jabs! Always appreciated sir 🙏
And that’s why if you are a normal collector, NEVER spend $1000 on a box. Hell never spend $500
Ouch....they all deserve an extra card lol.
I recall buying many of these back in the day for nothing 😂

dang this box is either a huge hit, or a huge loss
That's boxes in general for the most part.
Yeah but 1100 bucks , you can find a 10 of Trout for that . There would need to be 2 Trouts in 5 packs to justify 1100.
Are you going to the Shantilly card show?
Yeah buddy
Dustin ackley was number 2 behind trout in 2009
Love that Diamond Lee. Would like to buy or trade if the person who got it sees this
Does the news from Fanatics affect your breaks?
I started collecting cards 2012 series 2. I wish I could go back and tell young me to buy the stuff sitting on the shelf from the year before 😭
Hey Jabs are you going to open Topps X Bobby Witt Jr Crown Collection? They look great and you get a ton of numbered cards from it. I like it a lot
Is this the Trout card from the video of the guy from back in the day who pulled a Trout rookie and didn't know who he was? I love that video.
