@@hunterbowling5769 Nice, I was hoping dude was decent... (I pulled his base auto yesterday).

[@mattattack586]

Victor Vodnik is the Rockies rookie closer. I would love to pull him!

[@BehnkOnIt]

Just getting into cards. Learning a lot from your videos on what to look for. Pulled my best card yet over the weekend, a gold 1989 Cal Ripken Jr auto 5 of 25.

[@Durbsdugout]

I was debating getting my own case, but seems like your logic a few videos ago about loading up the earlier cases might be true! LOL might just be safer to buy the singles now. 😥

[@JonGeandreau-kg1kj]

Man that was so brutal. Other than the autos and Holliday xfractor one of the worst cases I've ever seen. I'm definitely happy with my 3 boxes after seeing this.

[@AG-OldmanBrick]

Nice rips! Too bad all boxes aren't winners but nice to get that rookie run on the X-Fractor's. My lone monster I got the rookie run and I got a Jackson Holiday on the X as well, so off to PSA he went.

[@ELLYEDITZ]

Hey Stryker I opened a a 2024 museum collection baseball and we got a redemption of Aaron Judge and Derek jeter momentous material jumbo patch autograph one of one I wonder if you have a price on it

[@jeffvandehey4212]

Man, what a rough case. Thanks for sharing the experience anyway. Brings us down to reality a bit, after seeing killer pulls on the YT videos most of the time.

[@hiphophippie4159]

You the man Stryker! Waiting on my jumbo box! Should be here in a couple days. I opened the only topps finest box I’ve bought and I pulled that ssp fiesta elly! Best pull of the year for me.

[@StrykerBreaks]

Fiesta Elly wow!!🤯

[@yamaharider717]

Damn.. That hurt but still enjoyed thank you. There were 2 or 3 in there that were nice.

[@steelshotproductions]

That first box you opened has been my exact experience with ALL the Topps Chrome I’ve opened (Blaster and Monster box alike)……CRAP!!

[@radicooldad5219]

I watched two videos of a full case rip that came in a large box of 20 probably from Topps. I bought some individual boxes from Fanatics too and actually had a case hit Light Board and hot RC aqua raywave #d. Maybe the first wave of these are hot and then start to cool down like the last few boxes I ripped and seeing this video of your rip. I love Topps Chrome MLB and it's been hard for me to not buy it even with the price hike.

[@chrisc4264]

Stryker, for the price point from what you pulled because of the lack of MVP buybacks imo these should be like $50 at most. Good that you got 3 autos but seems the better ones are a tough pull. Thanks for sharing.

[@gluedtothesprue7762]

I've only opened 2 chrome monsters but I did get Ohtani and Judge base and the Jackson Merrill Prism plus a blue /150 on card auto of Basabe.

[@spartannewo505]

Huge W pulls insane

[@Myguymode]

Brotha your monster boxes has been crazy! 😂🎉

[@billweitzel1750]

I absolutely love these boxes. Ordered 2 the other day and pulled a jackson chourio lightboard logo. I've gotten 5 boxes total, and 4 were RC boxes and only 1 vet box. Wanted to shout you out, Stryker, for convincing me to try them in one of your previous videos. 🤜 Not your best case you've opened. But per usual, awesome content.

[@Mattymatty2000]

Love the videos, Stryker, but I won't be buying a single one of those boxes. They look horrific. Thanks for taking the hit for us. Cheers!

[@JonGeandreau-kg1kj]

I bought 3 mega boxes so far a none were rookie xfractors. I'm okay with that because I got a better chance at a 40 dollar xfractor buybacks. I'd rather one 40 dollar xfractor rather than 10 no name 3 dollar rookie xfractors.

[@Rawdeals]

I snagged 8 from Fanatics and of course they were fire

[@jasonward3295]

Those first few boxes have been the majority for me, I have ripped a case and not 1 Xfractor of note. However I hit pretty much all of the rookies in Ray Waves and Refractors, a Lets go! and a couple good autos. Not sure about your pulls but the good ray waves I hit were all flawed with print lines, indentions, etc.. I sent them to Topps and they turned them around in about a week with replacements.

Thought my monster box was a dud until a day later I looked up the Jackson Merrill lightboard variation and sold it to my local card shop for a buck forty. Got lucky

[@chrisfree9]

lol damn dude you got screwed. Your local card shop screwed you. That Merrill light board sells for $260 raw and if you get it graded and psa 10 it sells for $1,200.

[@coreyaron1726]

@chrisfree9 that's alright. He looks out for me with deals when I'm in the shop. If I had all the necessities to sell on ebay then sure I got torched. Oh well

Stryker hope all is well. Had a question for you. I pulled this parallel of Tyler glasnow and it’s numbered -2/0. I looked up the list of parallels and couldn’t find anything. Was wondering if you knew anything about it? Thanks!

[@RippSlip]

Just so y'all know, I opened 45 monster boxes and I only got one Elly xfractor, one raywave Elly, I did however get an Elly redemption, some kind of layered card to 25

@@RippSlip that layer variation is a huge hit!

[@RippSlip]

@@StrykerBreaks do you know what they look like, I've been trying to find out but can't find anything

[@burtskee80]

What are the cards with the checkerboard reflectors, are they worth anything to keeping?

[@robertcarlyle4946]

so in your opinion what's the best bang for your buck on a budget ?

[@CORE1.8MINISTERIES]

Hey there. You know what I thought about this buyback program for Chrome why don't they do something for the regular set and do half off for each parallel. For instance the base card of judge or Otani would be $10 and gold would be half of that price of the Chrome. And whatever else rainbow parallel you have in that series 1 2 and update. That way people like me who can't generally afford Chrome however they can buy the regular set and you know that might be something they should do😊

[@jesserobertson6881]

Hey Stryker. Last Friday during the mixer you shared a link and stated it would be a great resource for MLB prospect info, if you were going to be collecting Bowman. Could you share that again, thanks.

Rough run brother, I just can’t do that.

[@zebsnider6023]

I’ve only opened 3 monster boxes so far. Only one rookie xfractor. Jarred jones. Two of the way waves had print lines right through the middle. I don’t mind paying for quality but they ship out cards with print lines right through them , that’s not quality control , I like collecting but buying there crap 🤣

[@C_mey]

My Wally Mart had a bunch of Bowman Chrome Monster boxes and a couple of Topps Chrome Monsters. They also had 2023 Select Football Blasters which i opted for not realizing they up’d the Price to almost $49 after taxes. Rediculous! I saw a preview vid opening of Select and They opened a case of blasters. Obviously got the case hit and it was AR-15 Zebra die cut Premier however only comping at $325-$375 on ebay which I thought was low considering. I might decide now not to open and resell my Select Football Blaster. I think i should have bought a Bowman Chrome Mega for basically the same price. Btw the dude didnt get any Auto in a Case of Select Football Blasters (did get two Mems but still not great)

[@dewonerobinson55]

That would save me on one of those mega boxes I had a gold 50 out of 50 from a picture from New York and I got Aaron judge X-Factor

[@robhanson2653]

Here's a question. Is there a proper side to use when sleeving with cardshellz? Lol is it appropriate to do it the way you're doing it here with corner 2 coming down the cut off corner? Or slide the card in on the cut corner side to create the angle and slip the second corner through the slit side? Might be debatable ahahaha if you haven't covered it before?

[@StrykerBreaks]

I think whatever way you want to do it is fine 👍

[@UnderPar_Cards]

It’s hit or miss. My best box included a Holliday & Fitzgerald xfractors, Holliday purple speckle /299 and Langford aqua ray wave /199. My worst box similar to your bad box.

[@stewartoneal7333]

@Stryker - Quick question for you. Curious if you have any advice. My son is a collector with his own logo. He is wanting a box blade that his logo printed on the side(s). Any idea where I can get such a thing? I see other folks using them in their videos, but no clue where they are having them made. Thanks in advance.

[@cbwitdaglizzyyy517]

If you pull a light board refractor of one of the MVPs how much do you get for buyback

[@chrisfree9]

You can trade it for $100

[@jeffreywarrick75]

Your first two videos had better boxes, but still, 3 autos isn't bad. I opened my first of four monsters, and the most interesting card was a Scwarber with the Phillies logo in the background. Is that a special parallel? I was looking at the odds, but couldn't find it. Not sure what it's called. Thanks, StrykerMan.

[@Gram72534]

Lol, i pulled a base Victor vodik auto yesterday. I said the same thing you did, but i live in Denver, so i probably should have heard of him.?.?.?

I’m glad it’s not just me lol! Sorry Stryker but I personally have had nothing but bad luck with Chrome. No matter what retail format I purchase. It’s a sickening feeling when you spend $65 on a box of cards and maybe get $20 of value back. I know it’s not an investment, at least in the short term, but I’d like my PC to have some kinda value lol
