I’m not buying any at all. Way overpriced. Huge base checklist. Just watched Stryker open a hobby box $300 and maybe barely get $75 back. I’ll be picking up singles on eBay and at card shows instead.

@westernnycards This is my first time ever to spend the money on Topps Chrome, especially Hobby. I love the look of this set, so I have splurged and pre-ordered Blasters and 1 Hobby box. Planning to do Monster Boxes as well, when I can afford to.

Thanks for the video! I'm in for the monster boxes for the number of x-fractor cards. I would've bought a hobby box of this chrome but I got smoked on 2 Topps Chrome Platinum hobby boxes, and my confidence was shaken. I saw far more impressive pulls with blasters.

Have a Hobby and 3 blasters on the way. Looking forward to it! Saw a break of Breaker's Delights and they pulled an SP Holliday. I can't imagine trying to pay 350 bucks for 20 cards, or 6x that for 120 cards, which would still leave you well short of half the set, even assuming you got unique collations. The set looks very nice, as do the inserts. Stryker opened a Hobby, and I was shocked how few #d cards were in there, I think 2, including the auto. He got tons of RC refractors, though. Didn't see any negatives, but the Breaker's Delights and Jumbos had plenty of those.
