Stop complaining about there being 1000 1/1 superfractors of ohtani. Most of us collectors will not even have a chance to own even one in our life time.

I love these cards. So beautiful. But unfortunately once again the price goes up meaning Topps is just pushing more and more products to breakers only. Any collector with half a brain shouldn’t buy this wax to chase.

As usual, I’m Letting everyone else spend $$$ on opening, and then buying singles of the couple guys I want. Yea it’s boring not getting to rip any packs but if I’m gonna rip anything, it’s gonna be update because of its price point. I’ll only be interested in chrome update if the autos are on card.

I think between the rookie class and the low print run, they knocked it out of the park. Sapphire is awesome and this year it’s produced so many great cards. I don’t think I’ve had a single bad box yet. I do miss when Topps released it as a base set. I do agree on the image variations, the photos used were kind of lame.. hoping sapphire update will have Skenes on card autos 😬

I like the cards , I don’t like the price

Sapphire is out of my comfort zone for what it is - two parallels and no guaranteed autos. That makes it very expensive. I have paid $500 for one box of wax before but it was Bowman and would only ever be Bowman if I did it again. Yes, the cards are nice but for the price and the chance to hit it's one of the easier passes in the hobby. It will be interesting to see if Fanatics brings out a brand new product which is not a variation on the same theme: Topps Chrome Cosmic, Gilded, Sapphire etc. Something new. Just leave Bowman alone.

Love sapphire. Hard pass.

Merrill is a knob for signing like that - if it is even him as you alluded to. No one will ever beat the gold standard of lazy autos that is the Andres Gimenez 2018 Bowman Chrome Auto. It's a forward slash. By the time Bowman's Best had released he was doing a really nice auto but the damage was done. Crap autos on a players most desirable cards is not cool. The designs of both flagship and Bowman have really grown on me. I think they might be the best since 2018 when I started paying attention. The large whiteout for the auto should be less but all in all it's been a very nice year for designs.

These types of videos are great

Would love for you guys to start talking different sports, once baseball ends

Would love to buh it, but can't afford lol

I like the auto image on Chourio's card better than regular chrome. With the price of his base /199 around the cost of a box, it's easy for me to wait until singles in the off-season

It would be nice if you showed the cards you talk about. I'm new back to the hobby and there are cards you reference that loses me. I love the topics and the channel but visual references would help. That Kershaw card is the worst!

Chourio and the Brewers are 🗑️

Unfortunately I only have a Topps Chrome Quartz budget so I’ll pass.

Luisangel Acuna Rookie Cards all day!

PCA cards all day! Kerry Carpenter is a BEAST!

Nice to hear honest opinions on the actual designs. Seems like most collectors only see value and really don’t care about the actual look as a card.

If you get lazy on your auto, you get lazy on your training. That is a work ethic problem.

Why when showing any Topps products, the rookie that is in display is either Chousrio or Holliday, but never the actual ROY and All star in his rookie year Jackson Merrill!?🇺🇸⚾️

Passing on it.

The Brewers just keep being regular season heroes and post season zeros. Chourio looked great in the 3 games though

Sapphire products are so blase now. I'm holding out for Gilded Collection. Biggest issue to be in the 700 card checklist. Box Value / Price just not there. I have MC membership, I skipped buying this product. I think Chrome Update Sapphire will be better (if not sticker auto).

It really makes me sad watching the prices of these online sapphire products going higher and higher in price. I went back and looked at how much I paid for different sapphire products since 2020. It’s depressing

Jackson etc. are only SP in Series 2, that is probably why they aren't in it. Can't get a base Sapphire if you don't have a base Flagship. 2022 was a similar situation with Julio, Bobby, Tork being in Update. They weren't in in Sapphire until Update Sapphire either.

That was a really short episode of Spitballin'.

I do believe this product need some type of case hit or chaser.

Roll on Dodgers Padres Sunday and other games. Business end of season is here, the regular season didn't disappoint and hopefully the PO will deliver even more. Enjoy the action @SpitballingCards & viewers ⚾

dont buy. 700 card list. the cards dont resell for that much more. if youre hunting for specific player, just buy it. the team cards HAVE TO GO. tons of color though!

Waiting for Sapphire Update to grab boxes but will buy the Judge base, SP, and Selections once the prices cool down.

looks like he prolly got someone else to sign sapphire the J doesn't even have similar points and curves

Why do they keep including Trout in everything? Why does he have image variations this year? He was barely on the field.

Well done

Honestly, the more fanatics floods the market with more and more variety ~ the more I revert to the basics ~ for me it's the Bowman Chrome auto's, Topps Heritage Red Inks, and like 3 or 4 others...maybe I'm in the minority.

Love these videos! i will only do it in a few breaks that's it

Yes if you're rich. No if you're not. I'm sorry but Sapphire wax has been overpriced for years. Singles I don't mind once in awhile of the sleeper guys. Not buying high $ hype. It rarely pans out.

Scott you got it wrong in the sense that kids won't be able to purchase this at release. Mean while they were available for a few hours. My Friends and family members were about to purchase the cards at 12.40pm, 1:30 pm etc. Which is surprising but I am not mad, I Myself purchase 5 boxes and a few single packs

Just want to say great episode and takes, as I’m watching this post 50/50 and what he did this season. New Ohtani collector here and have learned so much! May have joined the party a bit late (and at peak hype), but better late than never? Maybe? Haha

GREAT idea! As someone who came back into the hobby but was overwhelmed by too many products, this is a big helpl

250 seems overpriced and not that cheap for what it is imo

I bought one box, can’t wait for it to come in the mail

engagement rings aren't rare. a bowm chrome ohtani rookie auto is

Hi Jeff! Sorry about the Brewers! ☹. However, one of my favorite players in my PC who I am hoping can make the HOF is Pete Alonso. See the Brewers next year! ⚾. - Heather

Soto loves Soto. A clubhouse cancer. Take it from a @Padres fan

I bought my first rookie Ohtani 4 days ago and my 3rd 40 mins ago… I’ve spent $758 Canadian thus far… 2 topps chrome updates and 1 bowman base rookie… have I done decent? Thx

I love this! Keep it up guys. Good stuff. October baseball is the best.

I think Topps needs to be real careful, because they are flirting with running an illegal lottery. You could easily argue they are “selling” a useless product to cover a lottery, especially when it’s multiple copies of the same card. Different than just a pack of baseball cards.

The entire industry is a cash grab

Bought 4 packs I’ll probably keep them sealed

I would have had interest in this had i not just spent 100 on the 50/50 topps now. I'm not made of infinite wealth
