🚨NEW RELEASE🚨 2024 TOPPS CHROME UPDATE MEGA BOXES

[@l82thegame919]

From what I have seen from other videos of Chrome Update; they are either on fire or a bust. You're right, the price point is just too high for this product. Thanks for the video.

[@timolson-qi5hj]

I appreciate your honesty on the centering issues. Most rippers will open this and say wow beautiful cards, as I’m looking at an off centered card. I grade so that’s something I always look at. I’ve opened a couple hobby boxes and a couple mega boxes and all the good cards like Skenes or Elly are off centered. Not worth sending to PSA to get them graded. Thanks for sharing!

[@DavidGinn-jr3ww]

Got my box saturday & got a Skeen refractor & a Green to 99 Elly!!!

[@westernnycards]

Nice!!

[@DanielParker-vm7fi]

I’ve had great luck with Megas. I’ve purchased 3 boxes at GameStop, 2 had autos.

[@greghood659]

Trying to find these now under $80 is hard. Thanks for the rip. Cant wait to see the rest

[@Spontaneouscardopening]

Just opened 4 of these boxes. Very affordable and really fun product to open! ESP if you’re trying to save n not spend on those expensive jumbos delights.

[@alvarhanso6310]

Got 3 of these and my first pack was the peak: 5 cards, no base, an aqua raywave, a Prism Refractor, a Gavin Williams HFA, Skenes Xfractor, then another common Refractor. That box had 2 aqua raywaves. Also got Elly and Shota debut Xfractors. None of the Jacksons or other big rookies except one Langford. If I hadn't had that one pack...

[@westernnycards]

Man that pack was huge

[@stickfiguretc7299]

Completely agree, boxes are either loaded or bare bones. Opened two and one box had x-fractors of Skenes, Holliday, and Merrill, and a Diamond Dominance of Holliday. The next box had absolutely nothing at all. Looking forward to you ripping the rest of these, there'll be some bangers in there.

[@AaronToThe]

@@stickfiguretc7299 I had the exact same experience, bought two boxes; one had skenes, Merrill and Holliday xfractors and the other was a major L! Not worth it for the price imo

[@billbaird9008]

Rain this morning. I liked all the different inserts. I look forward to seeing your next post.

[@thomasthornton2294]

I agree, based on the retail price, these are going to be tough to profit on. I believe this is the set that the 1/1 Paul Skenes Rookie Debut Patch comes out of, and there is a HUGE bounty out there for it if you haven’t heard. Huge!!

[@Ayydoodoo]

bro these were absolute bangers for me, got 2 rookie autos in 4 boxes.. plus all star Shohei refractor, Elly xfractor, Skenes & Merill 89 refractor 🔥

[@scarrmd]

That was pretty brutal

[@westernnycards]

Not the best lol

[@AlexSantos-o3p]

I’ve ripped probably 18 boxes defiantly hit or miss but when you hit it makes you forget about your bust boxes.

[@rob31hockey]

It’s unfortunate. I appreciate that they want to provide “more value” with beefing up the parallels that you wouldn’t normally get guaranteed in a blaster box. But, this is a blaster box, through and through with a $15 price increase and no chance to pull MVP buybacks. I wish they would have split the difference of monster and blaster like the price is intended to represent, but keep it at 40 cards. More parallels and total cards than a blaster, but with blaster odds instead of monster box odds on everything to keep the price in the middle at $50 instead of needing to charge $65 like regular chrome monster.

[@westernnycards]

Agreed

[@butchyboxer]

First box reminded me of the Mega I got this weekend. Idk how Topps thinks 28 cards of mostly no names selling for around give or take $50-67 is something that be worth it to anyone when Stadium Club just released a couple weeks ago

[@caseybrade8204]

I went to Target yesterday they had packs of the 2024 Chrome updates I think they were like 20 cards for $8

[@briansimmons9591]

Good advice on being careful with the product. I did a break of Breakers Delight, then grabbed a single hobby pack at a card store and hit a black refractor of Jeimer Candelario/10. After seeing videos and observing how rare a black refractor is, I am not going to push my luck, even if it was just a journeyman vet. Lol

[@westernnycards]

Yeah that’s a crazy low numbered pull!! Lol

[@justinscott850]

I opened 1 mega and hit chourio true rookie raywave, Merrill true rookie X-fractor, rafaela rookie debut xfractor, Wyatt langford rookie debut xfractor and yamamoto rookie debut xfractor. No numbered though or even base skenes

[@ShannonStravers]

Good video brother best vids on youtube!!!

[@westernnycards]

Thank you!!

[@itsnorr4854]

Ya I don’t think I’m I a rush to buy this lol great video though like usual❤

[@RWHobbies]

This is the best baseball card channel on KZbin.

[@westernnycards]

Hey thanks a lot!!

[@showmerocks]

Megas are were it's at. Purchased 3 Megas best card was Jasson Dominguez Mini. Watched a lot of videos looks like Hobbys are way over priced for what you get

[@jeffreyhammack3557]

Issue is this after the first week… X fractors do not sell! Only the big 2-4 rookies are actually worth a few bucks.

[@jpacrylicstudio145]

Just need a Live Rip. You always pull FIRE when you rip live. Let's Go!!! So many beautiful cards are just begging to be released!

[@westernnycards]

You’re right about that lol

[@jamieborge6810]

Thanks for the rip and break down. Current price on these is too high for my liking.

[@epos11]

Do base and parallel of judge/Ohtani count for buy back? Commenting mid video so you might answer this at some point haha

[@Bryan45552]

It bothers me how much they printed of the mega boxes. Over 300,000 boxes and over 17,000 x-fractors for each player is just too many. I want dart throws, and 28 dart throws for $50 feels just wrong.

[@westernnycards]

I agree, I’m not going wild on this product. Xfractors should be 5-8k max for print run

[@robertmiles6805]

Have you seen the resell on eBay!? Crazy

[@scarrmd]

Always way overpriced in first few weeks after release. Prices then quickly level off as more listings go up.

[@westernnycards]

Completely insane!

[@MajorLeagueRips]

Think these are clearly better than hobby boxes

[@alexflohr1453]

Yeah, I don’t understand Chrome Update at that price. Give me regular Update Blasters, or the Stadium Club Condensed Hobby and lunch for over $100. Crazy.

[@Ntsej_Muag]

I'll pass on these. But I did pull some good ones on my Topps Bunt app. If only I can post pictures on KZbin.

[@marklippard]

I wonder if Jared Jones has started watching people rip and laughs. Every time he gets pulled, we're all like doh. Not who we're looking for, but we aren't mad either. Hopefully has an awesome career. Good luck on the rest of these, if the skenes debut patch auto isn't pulled soon these are gonna be outrageously priced.

[@westernnycards]

Maybe we will just have to pull it on the channel lol

[@marklippard]

@westernnycards that would be awesome for the channel. You are one of us! Been subscribed almost since the beginning. Hoping it's in retail. A lot offers to contemplate with it when it's pulled. For me in the PNW, as a lifelong baseball fan the 30 years season tickets would be amazing, and I would love every minute of it, but never doable if I were fortunate to pull it.

[@cardyard608]

Yup, price point is questionable. Thanks for the rip!

[@FranciscoPereiro]

Nice rip, as always, very fun and entertaining. I see you've been practicing your Spanish lol 😂... I won't be getting the Topps Chrome Update because here in Spain they only sell hobby boxes and the cheapest are being sold for 220 euros, shipping for retail boxes from the USA is expensive, so I have to settle for some stadium club and regular chrome update.

[@FranciscoPereiro]

If you make the math, it's something like 2,30 euros per base card, I think it's way too expensive

[@westernnycards]

I’m really liking stadium club

[@FranciscoPereiro]

I meant regular Topps Update, not Chrome, no...

[@TrevorH347]

Pirates rookie pitcher starting with an S. That was the cruelest left side of a card.

[@swverville]

Tough stuff, man. $50 is absolutely ridiculous for the amount of cards you're getting (shiny or not). Like that Elly tho...

[@westernnycards]

Yeah I feel like these should be 35

[@sgodhardt]

QC definitely not great. Print dots, lines, and top bottom centering issues. Pulled a jackson Merrill refractor with no top border at all. Opened 6. 1 numbered auto, 1 gold /50 1st box. Next 5, nada.

[@hotjoe817]

50 is a lot but it seems it’s selling out though, fanatics making money on these , my 2 boxes were average

[@westernnycards]

These are so hit or miss, it’s crazy

[@hotjoe817]

@ just bought 2 update hangers at Walmart. Pulled a yellow Skenes, bought them in Albion, have you pulled one

[@jasonwhitworth3831]

The megas are very hit and miss but i just love chrome

[@MajorLeagueRips]

My LCS had these marked up to like $80. That’s a crime right?

[@westernnycards]

Yeah they should be 50 max in my opinion, we will post links if we see them in stock for the correct price

[@AG-OldmanBrick]

I'm going to pass on buying Chrome altogether going forward (except Platinum Anniversary, assuming they don't cut it). Topps/Fanatics have all but priced out the retail buyer and you're not getting a good bang for your buck now at that price point with the lesser amount of cards.

[@realKevinRichter]

Highly volatile 😮😬

[@paulrodriguez8925]

Thanks for showing this product. I now know to not buy this one. 🙂

[@robbyfeathers1111]

A little wish and not a big thing. I like the top saying mlb all star game, but it would be cool to see on the bottom corner of the all star cards it had some type of logo for the different teams like an NL and AL logo

[@brandonberridge8776]

First box was brutal! I bought two the other day and pulled a Rafaela auto /250 and an Evan carter debut orange to 25. Was kicking myself that I didn’t get the other box that was on the shelf.

[@baseball72]

I'm sick of seeing it all ready.

[@karlmoles6530]

This product is a trash fire literally every year.

[@dafreak117]

Oof. The only thing that's selling these are the debut patches. Looking at the openings I've seen it's a terrible product even in the hobby format. I don't think your horse shoes will save you on these.😅

[@Frighammer]

I think I’m gonna sit this one out. Not impressed.

[@PullinRips]

22 update chrome had all the hype and was an awful product. Quality control was the worst I’ve ever seen and it has a great rookie class. It could of been legendary but biggest flop ever
