CAN FANATICS DO IT AGAIN? 🔥🤔2024 TOPPS SERIES 2 FANATICS BLASTERS VS 2023 TOPPS CHROME PLATINUM

[@Matt_237]

Hit my first HR challenge the other day. Devers. Made me 2/2. Tossed a bunch of guys the next day that had little chance and they stunk. Just filled a box with 3200 Stars of MLB. I see that card and want to cry. That Green Wave Hank is a $15 card. Love TCPA design. A guy hit me on Ebay yesterday and wanted deals on cards. Had a Blue Mini-Diamond of Bobby Miller. That card is really pretty. Had it up for $2.99. So, gave him it for $2. Then he walked out with another really good rookie for $2. I'm sitting here like, "Man, not only do I not want to discount these, I want them for me." --- So, I went on and bought a Gold Wave Jackie Robinson and have a Lava Refractor Zach Wheeler coming. Hahaha. Great video as always man.

[@westernnycards]

I love it lol you know what I do every year with stars of mlb? I hold all of them from series 1, series 2 and update and sort them into 90 card sets and people buy them. Last year I made about 500 dollars believe it or not on like 25 complete sets

[@Wayni_Juice]

@@westernnycards I’m gonna try and do that with my stars of the MLB cards

[@Wayni_Juice]

Has anyone ever seen what they give you as a redemption for the home run challenge cards?

[@Matt_237]

@westernnycards Really? Well, I'll do that then because I give them to kids fir free, but I already give kids over 5,000 cards a month for free and I could use some money back.

[@Matt_237]

@Wayni_Juice Yeah. I have one from last year

[@WinningScore-e6z]

Love your video! Informative and interesting insights.

[@westernnycards]

Hey thanks a lot! Appreciate you watching

[@victoria.rose333]

Definitely agree with you on platinum! It's been one of my favorite releases this year. Who would you say are the main rookies you're trying to collect for this year?

[@westernnycards]

My favorite rookie for 2024 this year is definitely Pete Crow Armstrong! I’m trying to get a lot of his decent parallels and I’ve been lucky enough to pull them. Also Yamomoto! But most of the guys I really like will probably be in update series! Merrill, Chourio and Skenes!

[@mldave458]

I actually bought 2 2023 Topps Chrome Platinum hobby boxes about a month ago and really liked what I pulled. Several numbered cards, one being a Ryan Howard black border numbered to 10, which I am curious about the value of it. The Glavine and Aaron cards are sweet and overall some nice cards in your rip here. It doesn't get much more fun than opening up some packs.

[@westernnycards]

Those low numbered ones can be so hard to put a value on

[@RayRay_Davit]

Sorta off topic....my favorite parallels to collect rn are Topps flagship Gold #/Year... Heritage Chromes...and Bowman paper parallels. All 3 seem reasonable to obtain. Awesome video. Agree.... Platinum is a great product. Let's go! 👍

[@westernnycards]

Heritage chromes are so sharp! Love your strategy!

[@karlmoles6530]

Two KILLER sets going head to head, Love it

[@timolson-qi5hj]

I like the Platinum! Old school stars are cool to see. Thanks for sharing!

[@westernnycards]

Always a fun rip!

[@alvarhanso6310]

I pulled that Doyle Significant Stats yesterday and did just as you did, had to read what that was referring to, thinking no way a guy threw it almost 106mph, and yet...

[@westernnycards]

It’s the craziest stat!!

[@l82thegame919]

Another killer video. The platinum are such great-looking cards. Liked the Hank and Glavine for sure.

[@westernnycards]

Thanks man!!

[@lifegood3322]

Nice! Gotta go with fanatics because of the blue Acuna Jr. I've tried and tried to pull one! 😂 Great rip!

[@westernnycards]

They are so hard to spot man!! Thankfully this one was backwards

[@karlmoles6530]

Have you ever thought of doing a Head, to Head, to Head? Like 24 Series 2 Vs 23 Chrome Platinum Vs 24 Bowman Blasters?

[@westernnycards]

Def have thought about that before! Would be a fun idea

[@showmerocks]

Platinum rocks got some being delivered this Friday from Target!

[@westernnycards]

Let go good luck!! Always a fun rip

[@showmerocks]

@westernnycards yep I purchased about 20 blasters, 8 autos, 3 1/25 oranges

[@Beatles4office]

@@showmerocks Target blasters are where I have hit big myself. I have bought 4 in total from them but just a few weeks back my first 2 I hit with a superfractor, 2 autos and multiple numbered cards. Awesome set especially for a collector like myself who just recently got back into cards!

[@showmerocks]

They are drying up at retail outlets so I would hop on them if you are wanting to buy more platinum

[@drryan83]

Keep the platinum anniversary love coming. Would love to see the profit challenge on that set. One of my favorite sets of the year as well.

[@westernnycards]

Can’t wait to do that video!

[@jpacrylicstudio145]

A very close call. Thanks for another great video!

[@westernnycards]

Thanks for watching!

[@CORE1.8MINISTERIES]

Ozzy! My favorite PC guy. By the way you should really consider building a master set of Topps Chrome Platinum

[@westernnycards]

Last year I had like 10 complete 500 card sets! I sold them off, I have a ton of last years blue prism, refractors and prizm refractors still listen on eBay, people love those!

[@jbac1631]

Platinum anniversary is gonna replace flashback as the best back for your buck as long as they don’t change it

[@westernnycards]

I really hope they never change it!

[@Fakewhack-st8fl]

I've opened up 200$ worth of retail series 2 blasters and haven't gotten a single rookie parallel or numbered card. Your box openings look like a completely different product than what I'm getting. 2 blasters had nearly identical cards in them. Hooray for me I guess

[@westernnycards]

I’ve been a little lucky with series 2 retail, but I like hobby alot

[@dafreak117]

Commenting for the rip and to help the stats as I get caught up. Side note, I have a catfish hunter auto that PSA refused to authenticate. Still waiting for them to return it back to me with the certificate of authenticity...😒 Also, when Mays died my Mays inventory almost all sold out until I adjusted my pricing...😅

[@westernnycards]

I had the same thing happen with Mays man!

[@Bertus56]

I opened one topps chrome platinum blaster and pulled a Anthony volpe /75.

[@westernnycards]

Nice!

[@sffd22]

I like the Chrome cards with all the legends but some of the cards out of series 2 are nice if they both hit it would have been better lol

[@jbkilluh]

Greene stayed in the game and gave up a Home Run to Reynolds the next pitch 😂 Let’s go Bucs!

[@westernnycards]

😂😂

[@ETHAyobenji]

I can’t stop watching😅

[@westernnycards]

Lol thanks so much for your support!!

[@homerclifton9642]

Awesome ur acuna went from .50 to $3

[@westernnycards]

So you’re saying it’s a 600% increase!? Sounds good to me!

[@OrangeJoe27]

Great vid as always! Your first Fanatics box had the same aqua collation as my first box I opened. I'm pretty sure the aqua cards are collated exactly like the base packs. I think I may have proved it in my vid I posted this morning. Check it out if you get a chance. Thanks for the great content! OJ

[@westernnycards]

That’s crazy! I didn’t realize they did that with the parallels
