@@ClapYaHandsEverybodyI remember when MLB fitted hats were $18. The first hat I bought with the MLB logo embroidered on the back was in 1989. It was an Orioles hat. The hat was all black with an actual embroidered Oriole on it. Cool hat.
You have a very influential channel and I appreciate what you do. But I think you need to call out Topps on the lack of QC more than you do. It pains me to see people spend $50 for 3 cards and then to see the damage on the cards! In my opinion it’s time for Fanatics to buy the printer and update the equipment at the printer.
I don’t know if the autos or more desirable parallels are on thicker card stock (no need for Topps to do by the way), but if so should be able to tell which three card pack contains. Scalpers and maybe even Lids employees will take advantage of and resell thin/ ‘cold’ packs at premium price.
I love that Acuna 83 style card. 1st card I bought when I got back in the hobby was the 2018 Acuna 83 style RC in a PSA 10 for only $50. It goes for almost 3 times that amount now
I went to my local Lidz in Iowa and they only had ATL, NYY, HOU, and LA. I bought one to hold, but it was very disappointing to not have midwest teams. I would of bought 2 if they had had the Cubs. The lady at my Lidz was on the phone and she wasnt planning on getting off of it until I asked her if she worked there. I got a NYY one and was treated as though I did not belong there the entire time. I kept being pleasant though and she told me that they only stock what they are sent and they havent had any teams from our region.
I was looking for a lids the other day in one of my outdoor shopping centers because they moved it and I couldn’t find it, I’m so mad I didn’t find it I had no idea about these packs until after we got home
The hats with the Topps pack on the side are store exclusives. I went to my local store to get the Royals exclusive hat, and of course, they didn't have. We have their AA team in my state and only live about 6 hours away from KC, but they refuse to stock Royals stuff around here!!.
This is an amazing deal. I was at lids yesterday to buy a Cincinnati Reds hat. I saw these Topps hats there. They didn't have a Reds hat for Topps sadly. 😢
Great Video & sweet looking cards & I'll buy the complete set but I wouldn't buy any packs off the secondary market because these would be extremely easy to search & all the thick packs most likely was taken at the store from the get go.......
You definitely have a sports announcer’s voice. (That’s meant to be a compliment). I am glad there isn’t a Lids here. I’d be in trouble. I’d be back into constant card buying. At my age, I shouldn’t be buying up cards. Lol. Edit: I see there are some 27 to 30 miles from here. 😅
Great video as always and you didn't play at all, the hats are serious! I'm from Chicago so that Chicago Cubs is nice! What are the hits in there? If only 50 cards wouldn't make sense to keep unopened packs for years later, if not special hits in the set i guess, or would it?
He likely picked his own packs like I was able to but felt them all up and selected the thicker packs which have the hit. Numbered cards are on a thicker card stock
Having loose packs for the customer to pick… makes me wonder if the packs with numbered cards weigh differently and have been searched… but idk. The packs are too free and could be searched.
This buy just doesn't seem very practical at all, you know I am not happy with the way that this hobby is going you know the road that it has taken okay you have Topps now printing so many different cards of the same player the same picture it seems like they are going right back to printing hundreds of millions of cards look it doesn't matter that they aren't the same card they are the same picture of the same player and it's already getting old,I mean am I the only collector that feels this way, they killed the market already once when I was a young collector making most of my cards worthless my collection rebounded a decade into this millennium and now I see it when I go through all these different names of ball cards printed by Topps in the same year and the pictures of the players all the same on every card come on Topps this is bad as much as baseball fans all over the world pay for your high price products who sad to say but young boys and girls can't even purchase because of the high price of your products. I just want to let you know you have stolen the innocence of every young baseball fan in the world
I would love to have the amount of disposable income as Jack Holland, the dude is in every break!
Inheritance or retirement. There is no in between lol he is living life tho, cant knock em for that hahaha
He certainly can’t be married :)
40 bucks for a pack of three cards with quality control issues is just insane to me
you get a hat to?
@@ClapYaHandsEverybody I guess I am thinking more about the ebay flippers

It looks like there's a white mark on the middle of the top of almost every card
That’s THAT monopoly quality!
It wipes off. I have opened a couple of these packs.
Quality control seemed to be an issues. There were lots of print lines too.
I work at a Lids and one of my customers pulled a Gunnar Henderson Orange Refractor /25😳😳😳

Holy Roller marks these cards are rough
50% of those cards had a flaw on them.
Quality control was lacking 😢
Almost 1k in hats

You mean like Walmart employees, or Target, or MJ Holdings employees? No way bro...no way. LOL.
with 3 cards its very easy to do
I love that Acuna 83 style card. 1st card I bought when I got back in the hobby was the 2018 Acuna 83 style RC in a PSA 10 for only $50. It goes for almost 3 times that amount now
Good Lord, hats have gotten expensive.
So one of these graded a psa 10 is probably going to be a pop 1.

There are only 97,000 packs produced. Base cards work out to be limited to around 5600 cards each.
If you’re selling the actual hats, and there’s a Rays one, I’ll buy it!
That would be an expensive set to put together. 😅
Pirate’s hat with’89 is perfect for you Erik, that’s awesome!
Great one
The roller marks are brutal on these. I opened 13 packs and hit a gold /50 Ohtani.
Those hats are sweet. The only thing keeping me from getting one is they seem to be flat brim hats. I do not like that style of hat myself.
The amount of products anymore!! Very nice hats, yeah buddy
I was looking for a lids the other day in one of my outdoor shopping centers because they moved it and I couldn’t find it, I’m so mad I didn’t find it I had no idea about these packs until after we got home
Glad you pointed out the roller lines. Are those easy to wipe clean? LOVE that Kershaw too.
I think they wipe right off
They can also bring them to lids and exchange them for the right team and right size JABS!
quality control on the cards leaves a LOT to be desired
Opened 8 packs and not a single color in sight. The guy there weighed them. 😒
Great video! Nice looking cards QC👎🏻
I bought 2 hats and got a numbered card in each pack! I estimated the odds of that to be about .09%
Wow! Awesome luck there!! Congrats.
They sell the packs by themselves.. one Lids by me had them for 5.99 and another was 8.99.
This promo from Topps and Lids is a great looking set they only made 200,000 packs
That's a sweet set!
Went to three different Lids around my area and for some crazy reason they had tons of hats left but said they had no cards…… I hate retail stores
Very nice Gunnar. You know all the Topps designs and years 👌🏻
The hats look amazing! Thanks for sharing the rips.
That 93 design in chrome is FIRE!!!!
The hats with the Topps pack on the side are store exclusives. I went to my local store to get the Royals exclusive hat, and of course, they didn't have. We have their AA team in my state and only live about 6 hours away from KC, but they refuse to stock Royals stuff around here!!.
On the bright side, I did get a /99 refractor of O'Neil Cruz in one of my 2 packs from the hats I bought online.
Wow 15 bucks a card that's heavy lol
They all look damaged
This is an amazing deal. I was at lids yesterday to buy a Cincinnati Reds hat. I saw these Topps hats there. They didn't have a Reds hat for Topps sadly. 😢
looked like each one has a scuff at the top
That Braves hat is nice!
Love that gunner Henderson
Very nice cards. Thanks for the video Erik.
93 Topps looks nice in Chrome. Seems like there are some quality control issues, though...
The NPN link has not worked for months now.
I wear a 7 5/8 too!
Big BuCos Fan here in NC. Those are awesome pirates hats! How I get In on getting one?
Can’t find them here or online!😤
Lids in my area will no longer ger sell cards so their doing like 20 ,50 to 80 dollar discounts on everything
Don't need the hats, but so want the cards. Great vid.
Thanks for the video Jabs! 🙏
No numbered cards but stoked I got a Mookie
Yeah I bought two hats. The QC is pretty bad and I think I may have one card that could gem all base for me too.
Fanatics owns lids
Guaranteed those packs were weighed at Lids by employees.. There is no way you only get 1 numbered card out of 15 packs.. Sad..
Exactly
Great marketing sell crazy expensive hats with a free low quality pack. Most are damaged
GREAT VIDEO ⚾🔥⚾🔥⚾🔥
Great Video & sweet looking cards & I'll buy the complete set but I wouldn't buy any packs off the secondary market because these would be extremely easy to search & all the thick packs most likely was taken at the store from the get go.......
Yup, packs were searched fo sho.
I bought 1 dodgers hat and convinced my sales person to give me 3 packs! Ended with no parallels but an Adley and Volpe RC.
Nice
I missed Jabs' pack. Which one was it?
It was $50 for the hat too right?
Waste of money should got blasters
You definitely have a sports announcer’s voice. (That’s meant to be a compliment). I am glad there isn’t a Lids here. I’d be in trouble. I’d be back into constant card buying. At my age, I shouldn’t be buying up cards. Lol. Edit: I see there are some 27 to 30 miles from here. 😅
Will you sell the hats?!?
They do look pretty
15 HATS WOW U WENT ALL IN
Hi Erik, great video. I like these cards, they are sharp looking.
wgat are you going to do with the hats?
Ship them to the people that bought packs
Stepinthebox got a numbered card in every pack he opened
They let you pick your own packs. So if you feel a thicker pack it would have a numbered card. I just grabbed 15 sequential packs
Just pulled a adley auto out of ten from lids pack...anyone know what it goes for
Please help
every single card has issues. scratched surface major issue!!
Quality control is terrible ...over 90% of these packs had cards that were damaged ...not worth what you pay for them...
Great video as always and you didn't play at all, the hats are serious! I'm from Chicago so that Chicago Cubs is nice! What are the hits in there? If only 50 cards wouldn't make sense to keep unopened packs for years later, if not special hits in the set i guess, or would it?
Throw those Braves hats in the trash
Damn don't look like I can get them online. I'd love to get a Diamondbacks one if they make them.
Damn bring here in Australia
Bad QC on those cards. Hope they are not all like that.
Alot of money for cards with quality control issues is kinda.out there but thrill of the rip over rides doubters
Are you going to open any of the Bob Ross cards
Maybe.
And………they’re gone
All the cards have screwed up surfaces
Can I have a hat. Lol just kidding love the vids man keep it up. I don’t have a lids here in Texas
Whole lot of money for a whole lot of nothing. Oof.
More crap to flood the market.
I have to admit I really dig the hat, might have to pick one up on ebay
I watched another video of someone opening a bunch of these packs, and that guy got a numbered parallel in every pack. I wonder what gives?
He likely picked his own packs like I was able to but felt them all up and selected the thicker packs which have the hit. Numbered cards are on a thicker card stock
Seeing the QC was enough for me not to take a trip to Lids.
I don't really like the hats
Dont see the hype over these packs its pretty much archives chrome with roller marks on each card
Sad, zero of those cards will gem.
Having loose packs for the customer to pick… makes me wonder if the packs with numbered cards weigh differently and have been searched… but idk. The packs are too free and could be searched.
Man....no love for Senga 😢 just goes to show
