EXPECTATIONS VS REALITY | An Honest Take on 2024 Topps Chrome Update

[@Tbone50970]

I miss the days from ‘17, ‘18, ‘19 driving around to every target looking for the 14.99 or 19.99 topps update mega boxes. They were under the category “toys” at Target so you could use all the Target toy coupons to buy them. The glory days

[@Apillow_]

That’s brutal 😅 Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you though!

[@wyeung24]

I LOL'd when the "WASTED" popped up.😅 Man those boxes were brutal. I'll wait til the prices go down. Thanks for the vid, RGL.

[@adambye2531]

I’m sitting this release out. I GOT KIDS TO FEED TOPPS!

[@jasonward3295]

There are 250+ Debut patches this year. I agree about 2018, when it was only Mega / Fat packs, I miss going into Target to buy them.

[@robertscott5092]

As long as you guys keep giving them your money this will never end.

[@samuelmoyerman1423]

I appreciate your honestly about boxes and their pricing.

[@samchampion1512]

Ouch bro. Geez talk about some boxes there. Congrats tho on being close to 60k subs and your 100,000 order yesterday in the breaks

[@Philmington]

Thanks for the realness, RGL 👍

[@RunGoodLife]

Excited to open all my 2025 RCEB's sometime in 2026 and get a Clayton Beeter auto from these packs.

[@JonGeandreau-kg1kj]

Victor Scott did have a card in Topps chrome. I pulled his xfractor. I'm not worried about this product yet I'm into Stadium club right now.

[@archieshaver9391]

Thanks for reviewing this product RGL!

[@barelyimpressive]

Jumbo box and I got absolutely smoked. Juan Soto Celebración and Paul Skenes base were biggest pulls. All 3 autos were stickers of no-names

[@marcossaucedo7123]

I join a whatnot stream for hours yesterday the amount of skenes is nuts definitely drive the price down

[@jpacrylicstudio145]

Love the cards, hate the results for the price! Thanks for sharing, because I don't watch breaks and would probably never see a Breaker Box otherwise.

[@michaelhutchison4963]

Nice video, tough break. Great info RGL

[@chadstauffer]

Good review. Now you have me thinking about reselling the boxes I have coming in from Topps 😂

[@dougfredericks4733]

Hi RGL hope you have a good weekend 😎👍 NS Canada 🇨🇦

[@RetepElpmet]

Strep throat blows. I had that back in the middle of October. Mine was bad enough where I had to seriously go to the ER.

[@cshecks]

What's up bro? You got slaughtered on this rip. To be expected though w/ this product - the pulls are getting so tough. Good to get that box out of circulation for sure. Wish me luck on my incoming hobby and jumbo!

[@corym2054]

brandon belt last played for 2023 with the blue jays lol

[@Rasukix]

the fact products are designed for breakers over regular consumers is part of the problem with pricing being the way it is

[@Kennysg26]

Tough luck man. Crazy price for those ty for opening so i dont have to

[@aveng7fld]

Does PC stand for pitcher collection? If so you hit the jackpot today.

[@gojacketz]

Absolutely brutal. I just cannot make myself buy these. I did get a couple hobby Stadium Club and pulled a red /50 Chrome Skenes auto which was very nice.

[@B_and_B_Rips]

Great video some rough boxes but fun product have a good one keep up the good work!!

[@dominickbotello]

Daaaamn this absolutely brutal the Matos card is decent but not good enough those two Auto were horrendous pour one for the homie

[@AZSportsCardRips]

For the MLB Debut Patch cards - wish they’d have the rookies wear patches for their 1st week in the Bigs that way they can do Patch cards /10 then do a gold patch on their first ever game for a 1/1. Even w/250 patch cards - with them being 1/1’s - it’s not a realistic chase. Brilliant idea though, just another example of how Topps products are so much better than Panini…

[@tedkrillies5326]

Prices are nuts. It’s the year of one player taxes! Driving collectors out. You have the Skenes tax, Caitlin tax, Jayden Daniels tax, Bedard tax, etc. I feel bad for people who just want to rip and collect! Sucks.

[@kendrickcoochyamptewajr5948]

Update is kinda rough. Thanks for the review

[@yankshomer7267]

I’m allergic to DUST ❤❤❤❤ Thanks for the preview

[@krisbolhuis846]

I've seen 20 breakers delight boxes opened. None of them broke $200 worth of cards. Not sure why it has 5 or 6 Refractors in it, but that seems excessive when, on average, the sell for about $4 each or less.

[@mikeengland80]

This is outrageously expensive. The average collector like me will never get/afford something like this. Crazy 🫤

[@stacky54]

That’s why there’s retail

[@carlsd8686]

At $200 per auto, even if you had throw away money. Why would you want to spend it on this trash. Want to gamble..buy $600 in scratch off's you will do much better. Or drop $600 on a sweet auto of someone you actually want.

[@mikeengland80]

[@timhackman9488]

Geez this is insane the prices but if I ever do get one I swear I would probably quit buying topps if I got boxes like this.

[@TylerHilyard]

I bought 1 Jumbo from Topps for $420. Hobby shops want $600. I am hopefull for some decent stuff.

[@Jwhitt1985]

I got my box in the mail yesterday, haven’t opened it and wish I hadn’t bought it off of the Topps website (FOMO got me but you can still save yourselves). Would’ve much rather bought a museum box

[@leterisman]

Yes victor scott has cards in chrome I have 17 of the rainbow so far lol…

[@EdwardManning-kv9tw]

you said it at the end RGL. Bit of greed on Fanatocs behalf bumping up the checklist on this one. No need for it with flagship stuff imo, leave the 500 player checklist for prizm lol. Keep at it bro

[@joesmith-es1zy]

2024 Topps Chrome Update only has 200 base cards.

[@colburn6969]

Great Video but I'd rather open 12 megas for $50 each & the return would be way better.......should do a retail vs hobby video.....

[@nealarnett9394]

If we could only refrain from paying these prices, they’d drop. Let them collect dust. No value in these boxes the way they are boxing them and overprinting them. I’ve seen the mega boxes are doing better. Thanks for sharing

[@sabasheetssportsemporium9425]

I’m interested in the Blanco Orabge

[@dylanrichey8332]

You said inflation for getting rid of the jewel case, I think you meant cutting cost to increase profits 😆

[@baseballfan74]

That hurt my soul!

[@Lou45833]

It’s ridiculous I can take my family of 5 to a ball game and get ridiculous seats for that price on boxes

[@pnw58]

I had $450 in buyback last year, spent it all on Chrome Update 2023, and I'm still mad about it to this day 😂

[@justinsidlzHITaBANGER]

Just thinking to myself... Maybe Diddy ripped wax and that's why all the lube... Sorry for the dust RGL

[@davidarce5201]

Glad these are out of my price range bc they have been brutal

[@erikchristensen8415]

Jumbo has been brutal. I've seen a lot of good stuff from hobby, but the price on both are terrible. Mega's actually seem pretty good for $50.

[@briangarcia-m3o]

Will you be selling the cards pulled in this break ?

[@nunzi83]

This release is great but at same time I ask myself.. is it? It’s literally skenes and debut patches. Majority of rookies gave true rookie autos in regular chrome. It’s absolutely disgusting that hobbies are going for $275

[@raginggamer2109]

$400 breaker box and I me auto is a sticker 😂

[@JohnZBaeZ]

Did the rich people cut in line and CT Scanned the great boxes to keep on this too?

[@trevorduncan9580]

i don't get why people are buying update. it is absolutely BRRUUTTAAALLLLLLLLLLL. The price is so absurd lol there is no way I'm touching any of that grossness.

[@nunzi83]

Theres over 200 debut patches this year

[@jakepeters1404]

I’m very disappointed make no mistake about it Michael Rubin just unloaded $1 billion worth of fanatic stock. Some unsettling stuff is gonna inevitably change the hobby. Hopefully it’s not gonna be too bad.

[@robertalonzoknight]

Panini and Topps are making boxes to expensive for the average customer. Just my thoughts. Singles prices don't support the cost to open.

[@estimate_me]

Let's be honest: is there any product out there where you aren't lighting your money on fire when you open the seal?

[@bstew5445]

lol that was great hobby box compared the one I bought

[@c.a.7987]

Skenes, Skenes, Skenes

[@johnbritt53]

Over over rated. Could be a flop next year as a Sophmore. Seen it way too many times.

[@Ccard-v6m]

Sure nothing is for sure and yeah with this set it very possible but he did pull 3 skenes

[@Thenightshowbreaks]

Lol $40 in singles for $600 is wild

[@Meandeanmachine]

Mega boxes are loaded. Much better than hobby and the original 2024 topps chrome

[@RWHobbies]

Wow $600?? Like I say with all these boxes they are a waste of money. 90-95% of auto cards can be bought on eBay for

[@ghosthbg]

🔥🔥🔥

[@clauspage]

As it will continue.

[@altonT]

I'll take two boxes of Stadium Club over an update jumbo box. 4 autos and you save a few bucks. Will not be buying update at the price they have it. Not even a mega. They took the packs out of a blaster, put them in a bigger box and called it a mega. Talk about shrinkflation.

[@MichaelIp]

JFC. Not even 30% return.... This is why I've stopped buying these kind of boxes. It's literally just lightning your money on fire

[@Ragnarok691]

They are going to tank the market if they keep increasing price.

[@jeremyh3079]

that's criminal

[@iancoen1792]

Definitely not unlicensed baseball

[@boston_b_party7821]

Rgl, no one wants a 14th year Brandon Belt, even of its a gold. Marco Luciano or a Young Ho, yes

[@colesdonovan]

Dust City, bummer!!

[@the43rdparallelthrift34]

Over $300 for 12 cards?!? WTF! That's insane and you got nothing of value. This whole hobby is insane.

[@jamestaylorjr2521]

How much disposable income does fanatics think we have. It's getting to the point I saw a rapper wearing one of these boxes on his chains for clout.

[@RunGoodLife]

haha

[@K.Dwizzle]

Well. I’m done with Topps. At least this year. Fanatics are only fanatic about themselves. Box prices are insane.

Maybe 25 dollar value from a 400 dollar box. I know now what not to buy. Terrible box. I pulled a Jackson Chourio purple #/250 out of a 40 dollar blaster of Topps chrome

just came from a case break of this stuff..... there was 1 card in the whole case that the player wont be working at McDonalds next summer. This stuff is dirty brown water trash. Regular update blows this out of the water.

[@deckerrobert7025]

Overpriced, mass-produced products continue to hurt the hobby.

[@rainking9897]

That there is POOPIE…

[@Oz1976]

All the formats are overpriced and overprinted. It's ridiculous. Hobby boxes should be $125 tops with what I've seen coming out of them, and they seem to be the best bang for buck. Jumbo and Breakers suck. Printed this stuff to the moon.

[@playlistnchill9385]

Sheesh

[@johnbritt53]

Over Hyped .. Over Priced .. Over Produced Junk. Seriously. What a joke on the price. All folks want are the Debut Patch cards. Well good luck. Ya gotta spend about $18,000 on boxes and you MIGHT GET LUCKY AND HIT ONE,,, just maybe, but doubtful.
