2 GOLDEN MIRRORS AND A BIG ROOKIE /50!! 👑🔥 1 JUMBO HOBBY VS 13 HANGERS - 2024 TOPPS SERIES 1

[@divino4302]

Yea, I sure hope Spenser Strider bounces back from his 20-5 record and 281 strikeout season 🤣🤣

[@westernnycards]

I was referring to his big jump in ERA from 2.67 to 3.86 , thanks for watching!

[@divino4302]

@nnycards Just messin around. Sometimes Strider's "overpower you" method backfires, giving up too many homeruns

[@westernnycards]

@@divino4302 I hear ya lol he’s a beast tho, and as a Mets fan I wanna shave his mustache off and make his tight pants baggy 😂

[@nickduerden4838]

I wish strider was on my favorite team

[@sspecmedia]

My thought exactly, (& a 1.09 WHIP lol).. But I break cards on my channel and sometimes I will mix players prior season stats up.. With that said, WNY gets a pass LOL..

[@tjjohnston4869]

I miss the days where the best player was the best pull. lol. it's so hard to keep up with what is a hit and what isn't now a days.

[@westernnycards]

Times have def changed lol I feel your pain

[@mldave458]

Really nice pulls all around, and the hangers were the bangers here and did take the jumbo on the battle.

[@shananigansrips]

Real fun battle! Retail has been so good this series! Thanks for sharing!

[@westernnycards]

Thanks! Retail is back baby! Lol

[@michealdugas1239]

I like the battle format. Break table looking sharp. WNY sportcards is ready for lift off!

[@westernnycards]

You know it!

[@dukeax6241]

Hangers yield banners 🎉🎉🎉

[@westernnycards]

Always!

[@brhodes2287]

That Henry Davis 48/50 is a beauty. Hanger boxes don't mess around lol.

[@westernnycards]

One of my fav pulls from all of series 1 right there!

[@gamedaylegends515]

Awesome battle! Congrats on the hits! Both formats have been good to me, so i am neutral! Thank you for sharing

[@westernnycards]

Thanks man!!

[@RayRay_Davit]

Hangers definitely won that round. Great video. Thanks!

[@westernnycards]

Thanks Ray Ray!!

[@JudoRed]

[@westernnycards]

I’m pumped for series 2! Gonna be a riot. Thanks for watching!

[@westernnycards]

Hey thanks man for signing up for channel membership!! Appreciate you! Hope to see you June 7th for the live event!!

[@CnamnToastCraig]

New collector here. Overwhelmed by all the different sets, packs, and series. Anyone know of a good video that breaks down the basics of what to look for and what packs are best to buy and rip? Much appreciated! Loved the video!

[@westernnycards]

Yeah Craig I will actually be making a video like that soon! Essentially a beginners guide for newer collectors!

[@CnamnToastCraig]

Dope! I hit the sub button looking forward to that vid!

[@Sithtrooper216]

@@CnamnToastCraig Exactly... Just getting back into sports cards after a couple decades... The hobby of collecting cards has changed soooo much

[@sportcardcollector9599]

Nice rip thanks for sharing 👍

[@westernnycards]

Thanks a lot!! Round 2 tomorrow!!

[@rex-freestylepackripps801]

This set is live and retail or hobby is great!!👍😎👊

[@westernnycards]

Check out round 2 today! Did another one of these

[@Aggie05-RN]

Caught 🔥 in the middle WOW

[@westernnycards]

Crazy run!!

[@richardvarner5359]

Should go thru hanger rookies cause the Elly rookies would help against the jumbo box

[@westernnycards]

What’s crazy is the hangers didn’t even need the help! Thanks for watching Richard!

I've got 2 monsters coming from mlb I ordered last week! Went back after you mentioned them and they're sold out! Guess I got lucky to get what I got! 😂 Great channel! Enjoyed the break!

[@westernnycards]

I’m jealous!! Let me know how you do! Thanks for watching!!

[@madmike8365]

They're back in stock

[@westernnycards]

@@madmike8365 I just grabbed some yesterday! Thanks Mike!

[@madmike8365]

​@@westernnycardsNo prob, Im waiting on a few of em.

[@ricog2343]

awesome series you got going. Appreciate the content. I’m loving jumbos and hangers. Outside that monsters are hot or cold but worth a flier here and there. Fanatics blasters loaded but probably sticking to jumbos here and there and hangers whenever I can find them in the wild! Cheers and nice giants golden mirror!

[@westernnycards]

Thank you!! My fanatics blasters should be here by Saturday, and next week I’ll be putting those up against the hangers!

[@greghood659]

The Yellow crackle Davis is 🔥🔥

[@westernnycards]

My favorite hit of the year so far!!

[@madmike8365]

I pulled a yellow crackle from a hanger and thought it was a gold too. Some of the stuff is just too similar. Did pull an auto too.

[@westernnycards]

The yellow foil in hangers and gold foils in jumbo are so similar

[@madmike8365]

Your crackle was definitely better than mine. I got Brent Rooker from the A's

[@SportsMonkYT]

Yo nice video and channel. I’m from Rochester NY 👍

[@westernnycards]

Thanks man!! Love when I see locals on the channel!! Round 2 of this battle will be posted today

[@ZeroVengeance]

Big L on both jumbo and hangers, although those greatest hits are 🔥 I might have to cop that complete set

[@westernnycards]

I’m one card away from completing that one finally! Sharp set

[@ZeroVengeance]

@westernnycards nice! I would say this would be my second favorite set prior to last year's spotlight set which is super nice! I might have to try out this 1 jumbo vs 13 hangers myself ahaha

[@westernnycards]

@@ZeroVengeance it was super fun lol and bowman spotlight is absolute fire

[@shawnmyellenic]

The Soto and Ohtani SSSPs are mixed in with the base. So are the First Card First off the Press cards. A few Ohtani and a few Soto SSSPs are on eBay,

[@westernnycards]

Yeah that’s gonna be a pain going back through piles of cards for sure. At least if you find one, it’s worth it big time

[@shawnmyellenic]

@@westernnycards yeah. An Ohtani sold for $1750. Good videos. Just watched your second one. Gonna subscribe.

[@westernnycards]

@@shawnmyellenic thanks a lot!!

[@thebeardtrucker7195]

What iv heard is that soto and othani are mixed in with the base not flipped around

[@westernnycards]

Oh god 👀 thanks for the info. I’ll have to go back through and look

[@thebeardtrucker7195]

Ya what I heard stryker say

[@krisdehnert9271]

Are you checking the base for the "1/1" Ive seen a couple hit

[@westernnycards]

Funny you should mention that, yesterday I went through and checked all the fronts. Then Topps comes out today and said they forgot the stamps, so I have to go through about 3000 backs of base 😂

[@drulz297]

I have what I think may be a stupid question but... Ive bought an obscene amount of series 2 blasters, hangers, jumbos and hobbys and throughout it all, I never pulled ONE Jasson Dominguez RC. Are they only in Series 1???

[@westernnycards]

Yes he’s a series 1 rookie only. Same with Elly De La Cruz and Evan Carter. The only rookies of those guys you can pull in series 2 are inserts

[@jackteppo9633]

I pulled a Bryce Harper gold mirror out of a blaster.

[@westernnycards]

Love that card!

[@clydeorris4093]

I think that Strand 89 rc from the hangers is numbered....

[@westernnycards]

Dang did I miss one?? Was it toward the beginning or the end?

[@beerbratscheese1230]

Just an FYI, since you dogged on the silver packs a bit, I pulled an Orange autograph Vlad Guerrero Jr, 14/25.

[@westernnycards]

Nice man!

[@troymurphy7433]

First gold card was numbered

[@westernnycards]

Which card are you referring too?

[@troymurphy7433]

First one,was a great start,great pulls and ya davis of 50 was best

[@Godovgrind]

👍👍👍👍

[@isaacgeier6158]

Question, I recently purchased a Jumbo box from Topps and did not receive a auto or memorabilia card. Was my Jumbo box a dud? Or are you only guaranteed a hit in a hobby box?

[@westernnycards]

No you should have gotten 1 auto and 2 relics guaranteed if you bought a jumbo hobby box. You sure you didn’t buy a monster box? How much was the box you bought?

[@isaacgeier6158]

@@westernnycards it may have been a different box. It was $50, $65 after tax. 16 packs of 14 cards each. I am new to this and don’t have all the inside information like I hear you and others speak on such as print runs, hot rookies, and the difference in hit odds between retail and online boxes.

[@westernnycards]

@@isaacgeier6158 so that’s a monster box, there’s no guaranteed autos or relics in those, thanks for the question!

[@rudylimon2296]

My grandson pulled a gold foil of elly de last cruz and David bednar auto to 50 a d a MOJO auto of 299 luis matos

[@westernnycards]

He’s got some great luck!! Bednar is a great closer

[@thebossman60]

Is it better not to scratch off the Homerun Challenge card and keep as is?

[@westernnycards]

In my opinion, no. You can either scratch them and play the game, or sell them unscratched. They actually hold a decent amount of value on eBay, people like to buy them. But I don’t think holding on to them long term unused will increase the value down the road

[@thebossman60]

@@westernnycards thank you

[@MIKESMITH-rp2rs]

Yellow Crackle

[@westernnycards]

Ahhh that’s what it’s called! Thanks Mike!

[@JohnnyWoodard]

Am I wrong, or shouldn’t you get a few more hangers to equal the jumbo’s price?

[@westernnycards]

This was based off the jumbo presale price preorder from Topps, price has gone up now!

[@itzzzsss]

Did u check Phillies card for a Kevin Hart photobomb? Or 1 of 1? They say the back has the 1 of 1 and front looks the same

[@westernnycards]

Yeah I’ve checked all mine!

[@magadonaldtrump5473]

[@JR_harlow]

So i pulled a donrus elly gold shimmer refractor 37/50,., do thrse still demand top dollar?

[@westernnycards]

Donruss is unlicensed, so it will go for less than a licensed card with team logos, but that’s still a really cool hit!
