NEW RELEASE! 2023 TOPPS 206 BASEBALL CARD BOXES!

[@slmjm8849]

Don't think it had anything to do with Honus Wagner not wanting his cards to be in cigarette boxes as he often liked to smoke. Had mostly to do with him not being paid for his image.

[@FATBASSTV]

I heard he smoked like a chimney but didn’t want the kids to start but not getting paid makes more sense

[@hitmanskid-td4pg]

he didnt want people smoking 🎉🎉🎉. he knew it was to kill people

[@Thetitwrench]

You have wrong information. Go back and do more research.

[@GreaseMonkey1978]

SGC 9.5 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle sold for $12.6 million last year making it the most valuable baseball card ever sold. T206 Honus Wagner held the previous record at $7.25 million.

[@boone982]

Cardboard Connections has wood grain at 20 copies. Not bad at all.

[@ObsessedCollector]

If you go by condition, Wagners sell for about 20x a 1952 Mantle in the same condition. So a PSA/SGC 9/9.5 Wagner would break 200M. IF one was discovered. (But realistically a PSA 9 Wagner would probably sell for $50M

[@markwilliams6394]

They make top loaders and sleeves for the mini cards.

[@generalshib7796]

My favorite release of the year! High series should be coming out, soon! Please do a group break for it. 🙏

[@cfb_clipz]

What time is the auction at???

[@DaREALJonN]

I pulled a Interleague Back Bobby Witt, Image Variation Adley, Steven Kwan Wood Card, and a Tim Wakefield Autograph

[@NazdaqIndex]

Where are these even available for purchase?

[@joelvazquez9666]

Wipe the slab with alcohol pad it removes thes evaporate instantly leaving no residue

[@MC_Collectibles]

Loved opening these packs.. only thing i don't like is having two parallels that are so close to each other.. blank back out of 10.. and missing black plate (not numbered just a parallel). If you glance real quick they look identical and i have noticed people selling them incorrectly on eBay so beware.

[@dezza2001]

I wish I could get my hands on them. Love the art of them.

[@justingorton9596]

I think the wood card has 20 copies

[@generalshib7796]

That first auto you pulled is a $350 card! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@loneskum]

That was all she wrote

[@hitmanskid-td4pg]

yoshida is money

[@hunterbuescher7452]

Love that masataka yoshida rookie autograph

[@generalshib7796]

$350 card 🔥

[@chip12891]

Brian Wilson mania running wild lol. I'd be interested if they were normal size cards

[@jimreed2138]

Cards are cool! A little throw back to the old days!

[@NoahMcleany]

Wood grains last year were only 20 of each produced

[@BruceHollmann]

they are close to same this year...I opened 3 n partner did same n no wood grains.. He totally didn't give the product its due, cause backs are important....I pulled Ohtani blank back with only 10 of each made.....it is not always about autographs

[@ghostface3655]

I would understand the minis being a problem, but I kinda like 'em. It's different and fun. Thanks for the video Jabs! Always fun!! 🙏

[@Iowalife96]

Lot of hate to them.. don’t have many in my pc that are worth much. But always been one of my top favorites

[@adrianrapp8453]

Wood grain SSP are to 20 copies!

[@JacobDoe69]

Man I'd buy that wood Jim Kaat. I've been trying to find him

[@jamesrivera4947]

Curious that packs are shaped like modern hard box cigarette packs, including flip-top front 🚬

[@hitmanskid-td4pg]

100%

[@ObsessedCollector]

Erik said he'd show all the backs at the end of the video. OOPS! I was hoping to see if any super rare variant backs were pulled.

[@etansweeno620]

Hi jabs, have a great day!

[@DriveForShow]

Another brutal Topps product.

[@brittkessler5028]

The cards are actually beautiful, they should just release these exact images in regular size.

[@BroWatchThis]

I just think it'd be cool to get the Honus Wagner and get it slabbed.

[@Kiwicards]

These are cool

[@yardbyrd]

I thought that tobacco cards seemed neat until I had to actually deal with them. In my opinion they're just a pain.

[@johngeiser8276]

Hey Jabs,love you content! I was wondering,if you spent 5 grand,why not just get the Clemente rookie in a much higher grade! I collect vintage exclusivity,so I guess I’m biased!! You got some great cards,love seeing your videos,brighten up my day!

[@Do0msday]

I normally dislike minis, but I actually really like these. I may be biased since one of my all-time favorite sets is 1911 t205 (gold border). I just love the old time, historical look of the cards and these have a fresh take on that. The Allen & Ginter minis are annoying (and extra small), but these cards have a real Americana/OG baseball vibe to them.

[@Kevinm.9000]

One day cards will be able to sort themselves

[@stevenbrookover3934]

I’m glad I know now to stay away from 206.

[@SirTheory]

Yeah, the size of these cards has me mostly disinterested. I also have a dislike for back parallels cuz, like, you have to flip them over to know it's a parallel, lol. Those two things aside, I actually kinda love these. Cool design, the front parallels are very fun (esp. fond of that wood grain, but even the gold border and opening day parallels are solid). It's the sort of set I'd enjoy completing if, like, they were normally sized. I hate the look of undersized cards in binders, lol. But I could see targeting some PC names on ebay-especially if they were slabbed to distract me from the size of the card, lol.

[@generalshib7796]

[@shainhansard1672]

I seriously wouldn't give $10 for the whole set...good grief

[@benny9713]

bro is charlie brown

[@Delmiester]

We seriously don’t care

[@ogringomaisbrasileiro7889]

Same, that’s always my gripe with the A&G minis too. These are awful.

[@NateD006]

Same, minis are not my thing

[@nich558]

Why is there always someone acting like this? They’re baseball cards, relax

[@erikchristensen8415]

I like the way they look slabbed up, but in general I'm not a fan of the size.

[@davidvega8811]

I would’ve maybe bought one or two if people weren’t selling them for $70 on ebay 😂

[@eaglesfan1235-be9ck]

Hi

[@loneskum]

W brian wilson . Wow

[@NoahMcleany]

I feel so ripped off after buying so many boxes of last years sets and not getting any autos 😂

[@hitmanskid-td4pg]

😂

[@marcb.cardlab6750]

A guaranteed Fred Lynn in every pack, 😅!

[@arthurmabeejr8752]

The original T-206 cards mostly came from cigarette tobacco: They were finding a new way to sell tobacco, as there were alot of smokers back then....The cards were never called mini cards because that's how the card size was: 1906-1932. I don't think this new 206 is anything like the old timer cards. I'm still angry for Topps dumping all them cards back in the day into the ocean, true story. They acted like a 2 year old that lost thier toy just because people stopped buying Topps cards: They could have corrected thier issues back then instead of throwing thier tantrum. Even in 2024 I still get miscut, off-center cards, reversing in my new chrome & heritage cards, you would think they would get it right after all these years, plus look how much they went up in prices and cut down with less cards. This is why it's hard to get higher grades with PSA, the investment is just not worth it? I did enjoy you video Erik, good luck. I definately will not be buying this 206 version, not because of the size of the card but, just don't see any future value in the product. I hope you did not pay over $15.00 dollars for each box???

[@markhotdogrose8494]

Nice cards but not worth price point! Enjoyed the video!

[@kingcler7025]

Even tho I haven’t finished, I know it’s a great vid anywayd

[@corysmith8977]

I would not buy that product at all I would buy opening day before I bought that😂

[@j.p.belanger8323]

Not a fan of these cards

[@sweikel7012]

I think these are cool if you collecting but the hobby has turned into people caring about profit

[@LinkRocks]

It's been that way since the 80s.

[@TonySchulte]

I've got sticker residue off a cd case. I would blow on it while using a kleenex to wipe it in circles till it was all gone

[@altonT]

$70 a box, that would be a "NO". Typical Topps garbage autos. Get rid of the crap, make them harder to pull but make it someone thats not a "Who?".

[@chasejackson7248]

This is a 20 dollar product at best.

[@jamestaylorjr2521]

I thought Topps was getting into making cigarettes with that box design choice.

[@jefft1647]

Oh my....not a fan at all, especially the size and print runs.

[@michaelbrandt5540]

That story about Wagner is a myth. If you collected the set you could turn them in for a free carton of cigarettes. The company obviously didn't want to give out too many free cartons, so they chose randomly to short print Wagner, Kind of like the Monopoly game at McDonald's. Wagner was essentially Boardwalk.

[@68wolffden]

Back when I was really into ripping and collecting, the 206's I personally always though was one of the worst ideas. I know some like them and respect that choice.

[@freebs8918]

That’s the worst auto checklist I have ever seen

[@chrisshockey8883]

More over-priced cardboard crack that isnt worth the paper its printed on

[@ericcraig3875]

🤮

[@mitchthornton1820]

This stuff is garbage , all the base cards seem the same in most packs .
