OOOOOOOF! I knew this year's release would be bad but,...this is brutally bad!

[@ghostface3655]

I was really hoping that Topps would make Albert Pujols waving bye to the crowd a short print. Thanks again, Jabs! 🙏

[@kerouac906]

We all want the Pujols pitching SSP but it was a Topps Now card already, so I doubt it's in S1.

I am only getting hobby products this year for series 1!

[@ThatwasaSTRIKE]

Trying to imagine how these will look like in chrome, and chrome sapphire

[@Do0msday]

I ordered a few hangers just for fun and am really glad about getting a jumbo as well considering the awful odds for retail. I feel like once everyone is done set building with these, which won't take long, these are going to sit around on shelves for ages. The rookie class is really strong, but they print so many that the base cards aren't exceedingly rare or anything like that and the chance of pulling a hit via retail is slim. These may wind up like 2021 Series 1 where you could get a 24 pack retail box for under $50. And why so many landscape cards? Yuck. Aside from that I do really like the rookie class in this, but not including Michael Harris in Update just feels like a disservice to him.

RIP "Hangers are Bangers"

[@krishdasgupta7313]

Used to smell fresh packs too! I can tell you the year of a pack by smell.

[@rgq425]

jumbo's are the best for price for everything except black

[@rileytylus8488]

Hobby and jumbo odds are much better

[@ericcraig3875]

So nice that they are giving Pujols a proper last card with full career stats. Dozens and dozens of the greatest players in baseball history don't even get cards after they announce retirement. Some guys don't get cards in their last 2 seasons and never get a full career stat card. This is very sad. Top players should get multiple full-stat career tribute cards. Topps should make a tribute set to fix their stiffing of so many heroes and their fans. It is nice that they do reissues of lots of retired players, but they do the same 40-50 guys, when there are hundreds.

[@holdenmyrick4426]

I love the design. I always enjoy getting a hanger box. But if it’s 12.99 for just commons. Is it really worth it?

[@MessOfThings]

I opened two boxes of this on my channel, and after watching your first box I've now seen the Guardians followed by the Cardinals team cards three times in a row. I am already tired of that collation

[@donnyatkinsonhamilton9762]

Seems they love throwing the Twins all in one lump, there was at least 4 hangers that had 3-4 Twins one right after another. Collation machine seems to skipping a beat with this product.

[@lifegood3322]

Wish I'd have seen this before buying out that Walgreens today! 😂 Oh well! I'll defy those horrible odds! I haven't collected seriously since the tornado in '95 but I'm starting to enjoy it again! Thank you for helping make it fun!

[@schro231]

love the design and the face shot on the bottom. Like the 83 and 84 circle and square. more important, the name is easy to read! That is what I like the best~!

[@spencerlangley4195]

I’m still ripping update. 2023 series 1 doesn’t look promising to me. Especially with the stupid print run.

[@Nimbatik]

I bought 4 hangers today at Target, pulled 2 retail blue, 1 gold, and that was about it. I am probably not going to buy any more retail this year, I do however have 6 x 24 pack hobby boxes on the way, so excited about that.

[@andrewpolechko8761]

This has to be my favorite design since 2014 Topps.

[@nich558]

A+ on the design, looks so cool! Very different from what they usually look like

[@kyledonatto1779]

Your going to want to go with jumbo and hobby boxes this year

[@williamshirley7523]

If you look at the odds on the back of the hanger box, it says odds per pack. If the odds of finding a gold card are 1 in 15 as Jabs noted, wouldn't that mean one gold card in every 15 packs, not every 15 hanger boxes? Or am I mistaken?

[@JabsFamily]

Each hanger pack is one hanger box

[@williamshirley7523]

@@JabsFamily thanks, wasn't thinking about hanger boxes only containing one pack!

[@schro231]

smelling the cards is always great. Reminds me of 50 years ago getting packs at the candy store on the corner. first ones I started collecting was in 1968. And I have a lot still..been going at it ever since. My first wife got so tired of me collecting and spending time, she left about 22 years ago! Don't even know where she is or what she is doing.

[@vinegarpisser2992]

5:51 88 Was the year I started…. First pack was a rack pack with a D. Strawberry glossy all star. It was the first set I built. I’ve been collecting the 35 year anniversary series and really excited for this year because as bad as they were then (and now), 88 Topps will always be my favorite! Can’t wait to drop the kids off at school tomorrow and get the the LCS, multiple cases getting opened tomorrow for sure! Tonight is like Christmas Eve!!!

[@LinkRocks]

I started in 86, but 88 is when I was buying Topps packs like crazy. I probably have 3 or 4 complete sets just from all the packs I bought of that product. I couldn't get enough of them.

[@tonyconsolini7861]

So are they not doing cool image variations this year?

[@ericcraig3875]

Way too many landscapes, but way better than 2021.

[@kyledonatto1779]

Your going to love this year’s cards I just watched a break card number 1 is Soto card 330 is Rodriguez in topps series 1 I a specially love this year home run challenge cards

[@jaredwrnr]

Awesome video people say this product is terrible I just recently pulled a Vinnie P auto out of a hanger! Hangers are Bangers

[@tallywhacker1]

It seems like there's very little numbered cards.

[@johnnyrepp7328]

Every card is numbered or lettered.

[@Torsk1007]

Just opened 2 of these for my birthday and got a James Outman 1988 auto in the first one and then a Salvador Perez relic in the next one so i guess hangers are bangers for me!

[@SirTheory]

I remember feeling iffy on the design when we got a sneak peek at it last year. Actually seeing the cards in action I actually do like it quite a bit. Just going on gut, I think I prefer last year's design a bit, but we'll see once I actually have some '23 in hand. I will say the design lands a different impact with horizontal cards vs vertical. It feels like a design that feels made for horizontal where the lopsided nature of the portrait/logo side naturally slopes down to the other side, whereas that process feels more cramped on vertical, creating that weird dip. The inserts we've seen so far look fine. The Stars of MLB cards look much nicer-which is good-although agreed that they'll quickly wear out their welcome. Like that Aces insert with the rounded corners. And while I'm not as keen on 88 as I was 87 and 86, it's still a refreshing throwback since we've seen Topps retread that design a lot less. Not sure how I feel about the golds (and presumably all parallels) not extended the parallel to the bottom of the cards. Again might have to see in person to really get a grasp on how I feel about that.

[@DaREALJonN]

This is the first set in the last 3 years Wander Franco doesn't have a rookie card

[@TheChoochooboy99]

Just bought some myself. The hangers are definitely not bangers this year.

[@bdgreene]

I like the looks of the card, good thing I don't care about inserts. Should I wait for factory set. 🤔

[@MessOfThings]

I don't like that stars of MLB design at all, I am still not tired of last year's design.

[@burno7799]

I'm already excited for next year... LOL I'm old ok. 1989 was my first year collecting Baseball cards! 89 Tops are killer

Awesome pulls!!

I like the 1988 reprints. Of course Stars of MLB inserts are back.

[@landen3578]

Really like the 2023 Topps design. I'm so excited for a new year of baseball related content and also watching to see if my Tigers can make the postseason.

[@colemans4588]

As a tigers fan myself, don’t get your hopes high

[@ScottyMania313]

As a Tigers fan, I think they be just as good as the Pistons, maybe slightly worse.

[@landen3578]

@@colemans4588 Im hoping the Tigers will give Michael Lorenzen the opportunity to be a two way guy like Shohei Ohtani during spring training. If the tigers can do that this year it will make the year way more easier to watch.

[@stevezeppieri]

I hear JUMBO is where it’s at for this release. (So far)

[@ericcraig3875]

Harris card is sweet, even though I don't like the new design. Those 88, 35 year cards are nice, but they didn't post the career stats.

[@NukeBlasterYT]

Why is every video a banger?

[@billrath9314]

As long as the player’s name is clear to read and Topps doesn’t cover the photo with artwork I’m fine w the design. Completely agree on ‘21!

[@muddro420]

id love it if theres a SSP of julio with an image of him swimming into third. anyway, scottie b cards seems to think that the jumbo boxes are going to be loaded this year. just based on the odds comparison. based on his calculation he thinks the overall print run is actually down, but they're just biasing parallel cards toward hobby products. so far ive only seen one numbered parallel pulled (and you just pulled it) out of about 12-15 hanger and blaster boxes.

[@gregorybenoit8526]

For breakers, the best way to handle the leaders cards is, they go to the team of whoever is the top guy in that particular stat.

[@jamesrivera4947]

I guess I should have bought a lot more during the early- and mid-70's and 80's when I had more disposable income and a greater cultural affinity for the players than I do now ⚾

[@MKYeahBuddy]

Very nice design.

[@Oz1976]

Hangers aren't bangers anymore, and retail in general appears (from other videos I've seen) that it will be a lesson in futility trying to pull anything other than base with the odd parallel every now and then.

[@Nickster823]

Yadi!!!! Got kind of a tribute card! You always ask/want Topps to give key players a last card with all their career stats! There ya go, 2023 Yadier Molina, and Pujols! Though, you shouted out Pujols in this vid.

Really liking the look of these. Thanks for the video, sir. always appreciated! 🙏

[@williammathews319]

Hey guys I’m just started collecting. What do you do with your duplicates? And do you binder all your cards or just special ones like that autographs and numbered.

[@johnnyrepp7328]

I dont think anyone collects cards. If it is not a "hit", they go into a box to never be seen again. I use to study each card I pulled. Check out the stats, the bio, etc. But, I am a collector, all football, 1986 and older only. If you are collecting, building sets that is awesome. For me, I put the best example of each card in a binder, then boxed the doubles.

[@derekbaker2665]

They all look centered this year!

[@Bbeckman16]

Hobby odds WAY up, retail odds way down. Print run, in total, I don't think much different. Topps figured out you could buy 5 hangers and get more hits than a jumbo.

[@Noosh_]

Ugh why so many landscape cards

[@MarkHollamon]

I absolutely dislike the fact Topps made hanger packs basically mini vendor boxes. It’s already obvious if you’re looking for parallels you need to be buying jumbos which will no doubt be snagged up and inflated on the secondary market. The big positives: Love the design! ‘83 was my favorite looking design. Also, the cards are well centered this year which is refreshing. Let’s see how that carries through to the expensive issues. Great break as always Mr. J! ✌️😎

[@jchase7586]

Couldn't put Teoscar in a Mariners jersey? Weak

[@johnbialek1905]

I agree with your JabsJudgement. This is the best looking set since 2018. I would definitely prefer the jumbo due to the odds.

[@bigche5280]

Was this pack odds a fanatics choice? Did they take over already? I went to Target this morning and they had blasters of 2023 and 2022 and WOW! I compared the odds and all I can say is I didn't not buy a single pack... smh

[@devinokeefe9373]

Michael Harris had a 5.3 WAR in a partial season too so it's insaine that you are saying he's the 3rd best rookie in the set.

[@wilda32]

Would be nice to get 2 or 3 '88 design cards instead of 5 stars of MLB 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@anthonygalimidi2744]

Make sure to check the backs of cards, the numbered cards are not always flipped, so you may have an advanced stats cards that you may not realize, or the short print cards as well, they now have SP or SSP on the back of the card near the number in the upper right corner to make it easier to spot.

[@udontknowme2574]

I feel parallels will be much more exciting to pull and definitely will increase in value from when you do pull them. Junk wax didn't have parallels so everything was a lot of junk. But now each card has so many variations and different chances to pull each which I think is more fun. Tho my money will not think so until I do find a hit

[@brockmohr680]

How many baseball ❤

[@Toytanium]

Always great to hear your analysis Erik. Based on your 2 Gold Card pull in these 8 boxes (1:4 odds), maybe the 1:15 is a bit misleading. I guess we'll see in Jabs Megabreak tonight.
