🚨MASSIVE ELLY PULL & HOF AUTO! 🔥 2024 TOPPS HERITAGE HOBBY BOX VS 2 MONSTER BOXES - ROUND 1

[@CorySwennumson]

Recently got back into cards and love watching the videos and getting up to speed.

[@westernnycards]

Thanks Cory! Round 2 of this tomorrow morning!

[@lifegood3322]

I too caved in last night and ordered a hobby box! I think I'm an addict! These look fun! No offense to modern cards they're amazing but these look like real baseball cards! 😂 Well like the cards I grew up with anyway!

[@westernnycards]

We are addicts together my friend lol

[@Beef_sports_cards]

New heritage looks great!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@westernnycards]

Love this design

[@805AnglingBrothers]

Congrats on Elly image variation. Recently I have been lucky with 22 high number and got Julio image and icon swap

[@westernnycards]

Thanks !!! What a pull!!! Best I had from heritage high number for JRod was a chrome

[@resiliencemotors]

Great hit on that hobby box!

[@westernnycards]

Thanks a lot!

[@Dickiesmall]

Love the green screen! Just started watching your channel, but I love seeing KZbinrs upgrading and improving!! Keep rippin’ it up 🔥🤙🏼

[@westernnycards]

Thanks so much! Really appreciate it

[@JonGeandreau-kg1kj]

I just opened up a mega box of heritage and pulled a Corey Seager blue sparkle but the ASG star was not on the card. I pulled a Corbin Carroll blue sparkle out of the same box but his ASG star was on the card. Have you pulled anything strange like that?

[@westernnycards]

No I haven’t pulled either of those ones yet or anything like that, but I know heritage has a lot of funky stuff going on 😂 I pulled a Gunnar chrome and the image is different than the regular image but it’s not considered an image variation

[@lavernesmithson1792]

Topps has an error card there with Whitey Herzog labeled as Red Scheondiest

[@squirrelystub2658]

OH MAN! That rollie Fingers card is one of my favorite cards ever and you just pulled his auto on it! I would have lost my mind. Ive got that 75 card sitting on my desk right by my keyboard as I am typing this comment.

[@westernnycards]

No way!! If I decide to sell it I’ll come to you first!!

[@squirrelystub2658]

@@westernnycards That would be cool!

[@emmasalsbury2144]

I love getting box toppers - it's always a "oh, that's neat" feeling. But then after I get them, I'm so confused about what we're supposed to do with them. Right now I have my few box toppers just chilling in my desk.

[@westernnycards]

Oh man do I feel this pain lol I have so many of the stadium club oversized ones from blasters in 2022, and from the hobby boxes in 2023 Topps. Huge pile, no way to store them, no way to protect them and don’t necessarily wanna display them 😂

[@stereomois]

@@westernnycards Dont they fit in 4-pocket pages? I have a binder for odd sized cards and that is the best I could do with them

[@westernnycards]

They might but I’m not 100% sure

[@Rip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah]

Amazing pulls! I watched a whole case of Hobby boxes and didn't see one autograph pulled. But I've seen good stuff from the monster boxes, so I just purchased 3!

[@westernnycards]

No way, are you serious?! Not a single auto in a case??? That’s ridiculous

[@Rip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah]

@@westernnycards Yeah, it was on the Jabs channel if you're interested. Could've been a dud case I guess.

[@westernnycards]

@@Rip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah you may have just saved me from buying a case, for that I thank you lol

[@ScottyMania313]

This opening was fire brother!

[@westernnycards]

Thanks Scotty! Had alot of fun

[@Off2Neverland8]

Wow!! Those Ellys are amazing! I saw Casey Schmitt in there!! I have yet to pull a card of his, but I have a nice start to my collection thanks to Ebay, lol. Awesome video!

[@westernnycards]

Thanks Angie! I’ll have to let you know if I have any good Casey’s laying around!

[@thecrafty1586]

Just ripped a monster box. Had 7 SP’s in it and only 3 flipped around.

[@westernnycards]

Yeah it’s weird this year how sometimes they are flipped and sometimes they aren’t! Thanks for watching!

[@Sisuonyt]

Did you pull the blue sparkle card from the monsterbox or the hobby box

[@westernnycards]

Blue sparkle is monster exclusive

[@Sisuonyt]

@ ok

[@RaysRips-619]

I seen that Topps, gave Pete Alonso a Polar Bear card, to sign. At the All- Star game, like the Devil Ray card you pulled. Super cool!

[@madmike8365]

They definitely are, I realized I did get a bunch of image variations but no names. Best was Blake Sabol

[@madmike8365]

I did order hobby from last year just cause I like the rookie class better

[@BACONnSPORTS]

Subbed.. looking forward to seeing more.. Do you have a store? I'll be traveling to Buffalo and Niagara falls this summer. Rochester Too

[@westernnycards]

Thanks a lot! I only sell on eBay right now!

[@Omirodder]

Thanks for a good comparison video as usual. My hobby boxes were average. Might look for some monster boxes now.

[@westernnycards]

Thanks for watching! I’m curious to see if monsters perform as well tomorrow, because that was pretty solid

[@Omirodder]

Picked up 2 monsters on my way home. Much better luck than with the hobby. Pulled an auto, relic, #, white boarders, blues, multi sp, other inserts, and the rookies. So hobby I pulled 2 relics, no auto. The other stuff was about the same, except for the blues. 2 hobby = $220ish vs 2 monsters = $120ish at Walmart.

[@westernnycards]

Let’s goooooo!!!!! Nice man. What was the auto?

[@Omirodder]

@@westernnycards Trey Cabbage rookie and a blue Shohei

[@westernnycards]

Sick!!!

[@lucky88711]

Had a fun time opening my monster box pulled a SSP topps in 3d I was about to throw it in with the bulk inserts but luckily I checked the odds and ebay 😂

[@westernnycards]

I still haven’t pulled one!!! Nice!

[@benmoritz8860]

I'd be very happy with those results! I think you missed a sp on the very first pack you ripped. Good start for heritage with the HOF auto, Elly's, parallels and rookies galore!

[@westernnycards]

I prob did, I was too excited 😂😂

[@docscards]

I picked up some retail product, looking forward to ripping! New sub!

[@westernnycards]

Thanks man! Good luck!!

[@SPHobby]

Great video and another nice series. Congrats

[@westernnycards]

Thanks as always man! Appreciate you!

[@LFGSDPadres]

That Liam Hendricks looked like an image variation. in the last two hobby packs.

[@westernnycards]

I think the image variations are turned around but I’ll double check

[@LFGSDPadres]

@@westernnycards yeah I went back and checked the list after the video. Not sure if he is listed. I was just going based on another ripper video I saw and the image but prob wrong. 😆

[@stefan9229]

Im curious what is your go to LCS. I am from WNY and usually go to Bases Loaded or 716 collectables

[@westernnycards]

I went to Dave and Adams in Williamsville

[@jonnez1976]

First time watcher but some Great Pulls. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that Chrome Cowser pull was a Jersey # match?? #17 😮 👍

[@westernnycards]

Thanks for watching buddy!! And you are correct! I didn’t even notice it until after the video was over!!

[@dacardworld]

Sick Elly!

[@markthompson7503]

Nice hit on the Elly Image Variation!

[@westernnycards]

Thanks brother!!! Loving that pull

[@lifegood3322]

18:24 was that Nathan Eovaldi a sp? I think it was card 82? I'm trying to teach myself to identify and didn't hear you call it out as one? Sorry if its not just wondering!

[@westernnycards]

Nathan is card #465 in the set, so no SP there. He’s also at the beginning of that pack, usually the SP is somewhere in the back three cards of the pack!

[@lifegood3322]

​@@westernnycardsmaybe i looked in the wrong place sorry I could have sworn I seen an 82 in that stack! 😅

[@westernnycards]

Actually Nathan has two cards in the set! One is #82 an SP, and the other is #465

[@NickyPInICT]

Realize this was 3 mos ago now lol, but the Eovaldi #82 is actually not an SP. No clue why Topps threw that in there. There is one other SP numbered to 400+ I believe.

[@shawnbell4153]

I pulled the same Colton Cowser chrome a couple weeks ago. Also got an 87’ relic of his.

[@jameselpadrino3396]

How can you tell if it’s an image variation card?

[@westernnycards]

On the back where the card number is, it will say in very small print “image” or “color”

[@brandonwilliams9639]

Very first pack you went right passed a low # sp as you were showing the backs telling people how to find them lol it even has a slightly different color then the rest also

[@westernnycards]

Yep I was so excited to get into it lol thanks!

[@LFGSDPadres]

that Julio Pablo Martinez looked like an image variation too.

[@thatguyronwaiters6485]

Got that variation Elly in my hot box from hobby 😅 plus a black border good cheap rip

[@westernnycards]

Wow black borders are tough, nice!!

[@James-ek7uq]

Good luck hope you get some good on the box

What are the SP's in series 1?

[@westernnycards]

SPs in this set are cards 1-100

[@mac2259]

@westernnycards for heritage...but are topps 2024 series one 300 and up?

[@westernnycards]

Nope, Topps series 1 doesn’t have SPs like heritage. It’s just a base set

[@gingerpanter5895]

Topps series 1 does have sps. Look at the code on the bottom of the back of the card to find. Their are all kinds of variations sps

[@westernnycards]

@@gingerpanter5895 what variations are you referring too? There is the SSP golden mirror and SSP true photo, but I’m not aware of any SP image variations in Topps series 1

[@madmike8365]

The 75 bs cards are baseball sensations. I got cj Abrams

[@exdoom69]

Nice pulls amigo!

[@westernnycards]

Thanks man!!! Let’s see if we can beat it tomorrow 💪🏼

[@kenkluge9473]

Your first pack had a card number 28, that's a short print. You missed it

[@otownslinky]

Cheapest way to finish my 2024 Topps set 25 base cards missing. I see eBay $1 a card has to be cheaper options right ?

[@westernnycards]

Most people sell for about .99 per for base, but sometimes you can find people who offer discounts for the more you buy. I’d look for that. If you can’t find anything, you can send me an email and I can look for what you need once I get my 2024 sorted out

[@Yankee1469]

Man you’re always pulling hood stuff, I’m going to have you pick out some boxes for me.

8:18 Red Schoendienst is an error...I believe that's Whitey Herzog on the card #TheHobbyist

[@HalelEliyah3777]

U missed a number card in first pack

[@Drewzer154]

So far I've opened 2 fat packs, 2 megas, 2 hangers, and 2 blasters. Zero autos, zero relics, zero numbered cards, zero base Ellys, 3 zoo cards, no white cards, the 6 guaranteed blue sparkles, a couple of loser SPs, and a random bunch of not so rare inserts like New Age Performers and such.

[@westernnycards]

Yeah heritage is always so tough to get the big pulls, I’m curious what I’ll get today

[@hotjoe817]

Monsters are better. Especially with the blue sparkles, the new age performers have that 70s couch vibe

[@westernnycards]

They are def my fav

[@DUB-Track]

These cards look horrendous

[@westernnycards]

They aren’t that bad! Lol

[@hashtagdag]

Not one Ohtani base card.

[@paulmouradjian6045]

Folks.........do some homework please. Every alleged influencer says they don't know why Topps placed the short prints for the first 100 cards. If I tell you can I get a Blaster box sent to me? I grew up with these original sets since 1966.

[@timeflysss]

Depends what you tell me

[@paulmouradjian6045]

​@@timeflysss... and who are you? You aren't the guy opening the cards.

[@westernnycards]

I don’t like that they did it because of the set building aspect. I like having the SPs as high number, so I can build out cards 1-400 for the base set. Just weird to have cards 101-500 as the base

[@paulmouradjian6045]

It isn't weird at all if you know anything about the original set. Do your homework. Smh......

that image variation of elly is dope but the centering is god awful. :/

[@Scottie4twenty]

Unfortunately their's so much base in this set.

[@westernnycards]

Yeah heritage always has tons of base

[@paulmouradjian6045]

Can you explain why there is a person on KZbin who just ooened two hangers and pulled a Red Auto Dave Winfield! Did you pull a HOF Red Auto on your Monster or Hobby? Hobby is the worst box you can purchase in 2024 Heritage.

[@westernnycards]

Hangers and Fat packs are notoriously hard to pull great hits from, the odds show that as well. I’m just not a fan of those formats

[@SSgtBigSwole]

Not a fan of these cards. The retro look is terrible. It was bad then and is still bad now.

Not everyone’s cup of tea!
