🚨PROFIT CHALLENGE🚨CAN WE FINALLY AVOID A PITCHER AUTO!? 2024 TOPPS CHROME HOBBY BOX

[@downsouthpokemon]

$200 is outrageous for a box like this. $120 would be more reasonable. I finally got my 3 blasters in this morning. 1 auto, 2 numbered, a lightboard logo variation, and an Elly prism refractor. I'm excited for the mega boxes to come out in a few weeks

[@westernnycards]

Let’s go!!! Nice haul

[@nate1111-b4u]

agreed. I may even go as high as 150 but not 200 or in the case of the card shops around here, 230

[@itsuptoome1983]

On card auto?

[@Matt_237]

Sold my base Elly's on Ebay, both for over $20. Literally just packed up his refractor. That sold for $45. All his inserts, $12 a piece. He just sells. Yesterday, after getting my auto and color cards my kid said, "Are there relics in this" and that's what saved my box. That's when I pulled that Adley /10 relic. He made it happen. Still insanely ahead on Chrome.

[@westernnycards]

I was shocked to see the Elly prices on base

[@acatal008]

@@Matt_237 good stuff but don’t invest too much lol

[@Matt_237]

@@acatal008 I'm probably done. 3 boxes and have made $400 back. Have a $40 and two $20 MVP, a card that may sell for $1500 in 10 minutes and more to go.

Thx for the video. Always great to watch.

Thanks for tuning in!!

[@timolson-qi5hj]

Tough making any profit off chrome this year with the product being so expensive. I bought one jumbo box. Ripped some really good cards, however not sure I broke even. I got an Evan Carter purple speckle refractor auto /299, Gunnar Henderson green refractor /99, Acuna green speckle refractor image var SP /99, Holiday and others base. With all that I doubt I’m even close to $400. Thanks for sharing!

[@westernnycards]

Wow you got some really solid stuff tho!!

[@itsuptoome1983]

Hopefully it's a sign the product will hold value.

[@x321pwned123x]

As someone new to the space I wanted to say I really loved the pricing information. It helps me understand a bit more of what to look out for with value.

[@westernnycards]

Thanks a lot! I try to put an average price of things, it’s not perfect but it works

[@davedrago703]

That was a rough one. I do love the Chrome profit challenge. Cannot wait for some blaster rips. Lets Go!

[@westernnycards]

Blasters tomorrow!!

[@PrinceMarcusWilliam]

@11:44 Aqua Lava Refractor 1:503. Aqua Raywave 1:151 cards are much more common, so you got the better one.

Thanks for those odds!

No problem!! The show goes on!! Lol

Rough hobby box. Didn't get the value, but I seen you pull some cards that are just cool to have. Another great video.

thanks for the rip .. ull get em next time...

Hopefully with blasters tomorrow!!

Bought a blaster yesterday got a base Judge .Prizm E. Carter Pink Trout and wave was Jared Jones

[@westernnycards]

Nice!! Judge is a pretty heavy fav, but obviously needs to avoid injury

[@RayRay_Davit]

Oofta. Took one on the chin there, Champ! Welp we've all been there. Hey your unworldly good streak has to have some hangups here n there. Other than that... great video! Update on my 1 jumbo purchased earlier....the 2023 Shohei/99 MVP buyback is looking awesome I got. Another was sold on eBay for $223 and another active is at $205. I'd say I easily won my profit challenge with Topps Chrome! I'm retiring! 1-0! 😆✌️

[@westernnycards]

Let’s goooo!!! Pumped for you on that

[@Omirodder]

Sorry for your tough rip. I haven’t seen many big hits on you tube at all. So I’m hoping when my boxes get here this week all the good stuff is in them. I’m trying to be positive. LOL

[@westernnycards]

I hope you have all the good hits too! Lol

[@Seahawks_12thman]

Thank you for doing this I were/was going to save some money for a box like this but nevertheless I’ll spend it on some blasters!

[@westernnycards]

Blasters profit challenge coming up tomorrow!

[@totalrobot]

That bigass checklist is killing this year's Chrome

[@westernnycards]

I def liked 220 cards better

[@mike2litty]

I JUST GOT PINK ELLY FROM BLASTER

[@westernnycards]

Let’s go!!! Big pull

[@mldave458]

For the money spent on this product, it seems to me that the values should be higher in terms of the worth of the individual cards. 2 and 3 dollars here and there doesn't seem to be enough on some of the values, in my humble opinion.

[@westernnycards]

Most times I just take the average sales on 130point and eBay

[@lifegood3322]

I just work up the nerve to get a hobby box and they raise the price to $224! 😠 😂 I'm gonna save my $$$ until chrome update and maybe buy a case chasing Skenes! Until then I'll watch you and concentrate on filling any holes in my collection! I'm also gonna try and figure out the wonderful world of ebay white envelope shipping and try to sell a few of my doubles! Anyway enjoyed it as usual!

[@lifegood3322]

I did take my ma to her monthly checkup today and bought a series one hanger box! Pulled a Quinn Priester True Photo! So I'm ahead for the day! 😂

[@westernnycards]

Dude thanks so much! So generous as always!! A sacrifice to the card gods for a Skenes green auto /99 from update!!

[@user-vr9qp6cw7s]

Thank you more profit

[@vagus16]

Thanks for making this video. What’s the top rookie name to pull for this Topps chrome?

[@westernnycards]

Elly de La Cruz for sure!

[@strewbarrry]

It would be interesting to revisit these videos in a year or two to see how the values have changed. Might make some additional content.

[@westernnycards]

That would def be a fun thing to do!!

[@larryandersen681]

No joke with the rookie pitcher autos in all of the boxes, including blasters.

[@westernnycards]

It’s crazy lol

[@somegooggles4186]

Pulled a wyatt Langford blue auto out of /299. Jumbo has the best hits so far.

[@cardyard608]

Crushing defeat but thanks for the video!! It’s just too overpriced. I bought the Brewers in three breaks, cost $200, got about $50 of cards if I’m lucky! Singles only for me from here out on this product.

[@westernnycards]

Def a good call!

[@itsuptoome1983]

Elly base... i dont think i have that. Paralles but no base. More monsters i guess....

[@MiloRipsOne]

It's for the fun. It's for the fun. It's for the fun. It's for the fun. LOL! Dang!

My two blasters absolutely blew my hobby box out of the water. I refuse to even think about buying a jumbo box

[@westernnycards]

I will def never buy a jumbo lol

[@itsuptoome1983]

Blaster and monsters did way better than hobby. Ripped 3 jumbo and blaster and monster gave me more big hits.

[@Darbobski]

Fanatics raised the price and expanded the checklist. It will be much harder to make a profit on an immediate opening.

[@westernnycards]

Def very tough! I hated the checklist getting bigger

[@jamieborge6810]

Really enjoy these ones…sorry for the $ loss. Thanks!

[@westernnycards]

No problem! Blasters tomorrow!!

[@Epiknameisme]

YOOOO

[@westernnycards]

What’s up!!

[@dafreak117]

That was rough. The price for this product is ridiculous. I just can't get behind it. Still have a bunch of series 2 stuff to open?

[@westernnycards]

Yeah I have 1 jumbo hobby, 1 monster, 2 fanatics blasters, 6 regular blasters, and maybe 6-7 hanger boxes left

[@KurzzCardQuest]

OOF! Hobbies have seemed rough on this release... I seen a lot of content creators being excited about opening Chrome, but what I'm seeing just isn't appealing to me. Think I'll just hold on for update. Thank you for doing these types of videos though.

[@westernnycards]

Absolutely!! Blasters should be fun tomorrow

[@toppssportcardd]

Topps is making it very hard to buy products between the crazy price and then you add in all these breakers buying it at these crazy prices and making it even more expensive. Good job topps you have officially priced out kids

[@westernnycards]

Hopefully blasters are better tomorrow

[@RaysRips-619]

Sucks you didn’t get the hits you were looking for, but nonetheless, thanks for another awesome video. Selling that Trout? My favorite player and one of my PC guys

Bobby Witt's MVP odds are improving. I've seen him from 7/1 to 11/1.

[@westernnycards]

He has had a huge jump!! I’m hoping he wins

[@HoboJoeShow]

They really should make either the numbered card or auto card at least a decent one for $200. They could control that 😮

[@josiahmcctchn]

Are the 89 inserts buyback eligible

[@westernnycards]

I don’t believe any inserts are buyback eligible

[@shwally56]

Bought 2 hobby boxes directly from Topps ..6 rookie autographs of unknown rookies 1 Ely base and that’s about it other than a couple rookie refractors numbered 299 and 499..big waste of money

[@westernnycards]

Seems like blasters have had ok value but hobby is really tough

[@PrinceMarcusWilliam]

I have bought 31 blasters @$35 a piece and only 1 Ohtani. No Judge!

[@griffincahill1924]

Are you planning a profit challenge with the new Donruss products? I wonder how those cards hold value

I thought about doing a box, but I’m not sure when. Those cards don’t tend to hold value long term as well

[@bobgomavitz1330]

8 blasters….3 auto’s all pitchers, all numbered along with 3 more numbered cards. So 6 numbered and 3 auto’s 8 blasters
