First Look 3 Days Early! Opening 2023 Topps Chrome Star Wars Galaxy! Is it Worth the Buy?

[@gamedaylegends515]

Nice box opening! Thank you for sharing, and congrats on the hits

[@AfterHoursCollector]

Really nice to see a SW fan breaking some cards. So many sports people…. Hopefully these box prices will go back down to where they should be sometime soon. Thanks for the break!

Star Wars Chrome and Flagship series didn’t really do it for me, but Galaxy is looking great! Definitely something I’d want the entire collection of! The art on these cards is fantastic!

[@bloodlinecards2416]

The art in Galaxy is so nice just wish there was an auto per box like years past! We opened a couple boxes of chrome and the base was nice but it was the Inserts for us that made chrome fun. Haven't open flagship yet, but have a box on the way. Thanks for watching!

[@Collectorholic]

Nice rip. Beautiful cards!

[@lionslucksportscards9835]

Awesome looking cards. I’m glad the parallels were centered, but holy cow a lot of those base cards were rough. Nice rip!

[@bloodlinecards2416]

I would have been super bummed if the numbered cards were that off centered. Thanks for watching!

[@NearMintNewman]

Thanks for the early look! Galaxy Chrome is very tempting. 🤩

[@bloodlinecards2416]

We both have Topps to thank for sending it to us early! It's a beautiful set just don't love how off center a lot of the base cards were. Thanks for watching!

[@FranklyCollecting]

Love the Kylo 👍

[@GrizzosCards]

This is a great looking set. I may have to pick up a box.

[@bloodlinecards2416]

It's a beautiful set. Only issues I had were the QC on the base cards and that there is not an auto per box like there was in years past.

[@bull_city_sports_cards]

SUBBED! Not bad. I remember 2022 TC SW Galaxy had terrible centering -- at least the packs I ripped. I bought a hobby box for $315 at my LCS earlier this year and got lucky with my "Lack of Faith" Mojo #/50 which graded a PSA 10. About half of that box was noticeably off centered, so they either graded a 9 or I didn't send them in. This price point is much lower (no guaranteed auto), but I like the artwork on the overall base set much better in the 2022 set. I would still like to pick up a hobby box of this year's set!

[@bloodlinecards2416]

Thanks for the sub! Galaxy is such a nice product design wise! Congrats on the PSA 10! We skipped 2022 last year for some reason but I opened 2 boxes of 2021 which were about $125 a box. I don't recall the centering being that bad but the base of that design didn't have a border so was likely less noticed. Thanks for watching! Hopefully you pull some fire if you get a box!

[@godisgreat8462]

Another great 👍 one ☝️ 🎉

[@mbdjr1-qt6xf]

Very 😎

[@greenjambone]

12 parsecs baabbyyy!

[@derekbell9610]

They need to go back to like 2021 with no borders! No centering issues then.

[@bloodlinecards2416]

That would be ideal

[@desdes9470]

Wish they kept the black border..

[@derekbell9610]

Not a fan of the numbering on the front either.

[@soccerplyr8]

Disney saw how much money there is in trading cards and figured out how to snake their way into it. This is sad

[@bloodlinecards2416]

Feel like this is especially true with their new Lorcana trading cards they just released.

[@Balois01]

Topps quality control on this product is very bad. And again second year no shoutout to the artists. Chrome galaxy is a pass this year :/

[@bloodlinecards2416]

The quality control was disappointing for Galaxy. Hopefully they get it right for upcoming releases.

[@agust2]

Big pass , I use to buy these for art and artist recognition. Now the art is ugly , printed and not worth my money.

[@the_gravy_jones]

$200 for limited hits and poor QC. Looks like I can keep staying away from Fanatics products.

[@bloodlinecards2416]

If I remember right 2021 and 2022 were a similar price and guaranteed an auto. Feel like this box could be closer to $100.

[@the_gravy_jones]

@@bloodlinecards2416 I certainly understand there would be higher production costs for a Chrome product, but I just don't see $200 in value here. I collect Pokemon with my kids and have grown accustomed to getting 10 or so hits per booster box for $120'ish at release. This just adds to me not wanting to support Topps under Fanatics control.

[@bloodlinecards2416]

I can see how pokemon can spoil you with hits haha. I feel like Topps/Fanatics has been doing better with their baseball cards but have been really up and down with star wars. Hopefully they can get it together.
