Ranking Topps Chrome Refractors From Best To Worst Looking

[@kaylyntaylorbaldwin387]

Thanks for having me on the channel ❤❤❤

[@jchuck8932]

Nice to have a different perspective on it. Thanks for the fun vid!

[@MrWrestling2]

2:30 Hey Topps! [Genius idea] rebrand this parallel to "Burned Marshmallow"

[@anthonyneubert9569]

I did a similar thing with my wife a few times. The superfractor showed the issue with her judging based on scans. Curious if all her ranks would be different if she saw them in hand. Also have her rank the grading company slabs. She should have them in hand if possible . I had my wife do that also.

[@peterb4871]

More Kaylin on future videos please

[@mattherzstein5616]

Definitely have to show her cards in person to get an accurate opinion...the pictures can make or destroy the look of a Refractor

[@t4rekk151]

That’s what I came here to say.. speckle refractor looks nothing like the scanned one

[@JR-OLR]

I like how you have someone not in the hobby rate all the parallels. Gives some outside perspective. Thank you🙏

[@pamn1220]

Hit the orange /25 adley this weekend the color match looks sick!

[@jamesreynolds9673]

Lol ..not if you don't like orange it isn't 🤷🤦

[@LambeauLeeeper]

This was your best video yet. Card shows are filled with Moms opinions and wallets for their kids. Good job on this one

[@jamesreynolds9673]

Your a simp. Just because there is a pretty girl and a dog in the video it's his best yet? Not the truth on parralels or production numbers...just a non collectors outside opinion on what looks good as wallpaper 🤦

[@jeffgaitherii6269]

Love to see others supporting the Blake Street Bombers, lived in Arvada for about 3 years, stuck back in NC here now, always good to see a fellow Rockies fan

[@MrWrestling2]

She's a keeper! Smart, Funny, Quick, and Attractive. PSA 9.5, maybe a 10.

[@DarinsCards]

Yes, Scottie out kicked his coverage on that one 😂

[@averagejoe7638]

Love this video. My wife would be the same except as Astros fans, she like the orange refractor autos.

[@jacoblarsen7309]

I'm a fan of the speckled and mini diamond refractors. Gold mini diamond is my personal fave

[@JACK_and_THOMAS_THE_RIPPERS]

This is the BEST baseball card video ever. This woman is awesome and she is exactly the person Topps needs in their product research. She should be a regular on Spitballin. She should share her comments on different sets (Inception, Tier One, Finest, etc…) because those cards are crazy expensive and some look terrible. She’ll set Topps straight.

[@chrismuir5398]

This was a fun video. I often show my wife pickups, and she'll react similarly. $50 card she'll think is so cool, and a $5k card she might say "ehh it's boring".

[@scottiebcards2354]

Haha! that is 100% the truth. I am glad that we all have the same experience with our spouses.

[@samhill93]

Great video, Scottie! Love seeing the different perspective. Both special guests were great in front of the camera, definitely hope to see them in more videos in the future!

[@Philly_Joe]

That was fun....thanks and Katylyn did a great job - A+. I collect favorite players and am very partcial to "shiney / speckialy" cards - buy the look of the card,. I like these types of reviews - keep it going!!!

[@rsuriyop]

Sometimes it could be difficult to judge the look of these refractors if you've never seen them up front in person before and are only looking at them from your computer screen. Red lava for instance (I know it's not available in Topps Chrome products) is easily the coolest looking refractor in my eyes as I've seen it in person before.

[@Briguycollectables]

My wife is also very much a visual person as well (She works in Architecture & Design for a living). On a whim, a couple of years ago, she bought a Pokémon pack and she has been a collector ever since. It’s total fun when I have a stack of baseball/hockey cards to sort and she has her Pokémon to sort through as well. The coffee table ends up with stacks of cards and suddenly 2 or 3 hours have passed 👍✅. Lots of fun eventhough our collectables are different from each other.

[@kimioapps3536]

I'm a 40+ yr old designer who collected like a maniac in the late 80s and have been trying to get back into the hobby and I can tell you that these cards are ABSOLUTE GARBAGE and will NOT stand the test of time. A 1980's Topps card is such a classic and timeless design (ignore print runs) but what I'm seeing here is literally what a CHILD with a few Instagram filters could do...they are truly awful from a design perspective. As his wife said, the "x factor" and the "sonar" are ugly AF!! WHY?!?!

[@yankeefan1222]

Absolutely loved the idea here!! Great video!

[@jeffreyfarmer9173]

Talk about hitting above your average. Well done sir. 👏👏

[@jroc919nc]

The cards always look better when you got them in hand. Great video!!

[@bobbyandelena]

Our wives and girlfriends could not care less about this card hobby we love so much but it just goes to show how much and how hard they love us. We don’t deserve these ladies

[@BraveJayhawk]

This was a fantastic video. I really enjoyed it.

[@scottiebcards2354]

Thank you! I may have to do more Kaylyn colabs in the future!

[@ozcarr44]

Brilliant and fun episode.

[@joshkirsch5970]

Fun video. The big guns and the classic base refractor ending with an A. Sounds about right. Solid idea!

[@danieljohns6084]

You know it might be fun if Topps had a set that an artistic person designed for looks and design witb an outsode point of view

[@jasonabernethy8424]

Great show, I do this with my girlfriend and kids too

[@kevingreene4090]

That was great, you two are entertainment, love how it was fast paced too!

[@jaredstroberg286]

You should do an underrated video…like why is no one talking about Tovar?

[@angelbabycards3595]

Yup, I kinda got into cards years ago, not just because of their collectability, but because I'm an Artist, who each sees card as a simple Picuture Print. Some cards are practical masterpieces, ;though they aren't worth very much, while some are simple, but they can be worth a small fortune. It's just that simple.

[@Forthefunofthehobby]

Really enjoyed this video. Makes me want to do something with the my wife like this.

[@mattanderson7139]

Do this more! Try inserts next.

[@jbkilluh]

Love me a good color match when it comes to parallels. Makes me wish I was a Rockies fan sometimes with purple usually being less valuable

[@randyranderson5122]

Scott, I love your videos! I was hoping you could do a segment on the Topps Chrome Basketball that released yesterday. I tried to buy a box right at 11am when they went on sale, and was unable to even log in due to too much traffic for the website. Finally at 11:30 I was able to add a box to my cart, but they were already out of stock. The selling price was $269, which I was willing to pay because I wanted box for myself. Something is very wrong with the system when the product is sold to people who only want to resell it immediately on eBay for double the price! Thanks for listening. I needed to vent!🙂 Keep up the great work!

[@BaseHeadSports]

Dang it!!!!.....I just sold my Gunnar Refractor😭😭😭

[@4TheGame2016]

Kaylin needs to give us the collectors a lesson on which cards are supposed to be more valuable. That way my collection might be worth more. 😂😂😂. Need to get her on with Chris, Jeff and the gang

[@72jmunoz]

are those refractor s its only a refractor if it says refractor on the back

[@crazycryptids]

Scottie flexing that Superfractor to his SO.

[@craigbrown7880]

Great job ! Good stuff

[@GabrielAlcala956]

Oh hey there sweetheart ❤️

[@rockiesinoctober]

Does Buttons have the same opinions?

[@williamdunlapwaxnews]

Would of been cool to see 2024 chrome .

[@godisgreat8462]

Another great one 🎉

[@davidthecardcollector]

She did a good consistent rating besides the sonar. I don't like like them also, the sonar illustration lines ugly the card up. I do wonder though if she would have ranked them the same if she had them in hand to see the difference in person. Good job getting your wife involved in the video, mine would probably rank differently from what us collectors favor as well also.

[@token5212]

great idea, but for this to be true, you need to give her the card in hand. So many parallels look very different in person then on a computer screen. So Scotty, go build a rainbow of someone and do this again. lol.

[@Bazookatom]

Love it! The softer side of Scottie B. Halloween collectibles and a puppy. 😁

[@rileyesmay]

This is the opinion I had on Sonar cards when they first came out, before value mattered at all. They're ugly!

[@kaylynbaldwin1389]

Right?? 😧

[@DarinsCards]

My first thought for a second was what is Nikki from IF Sports cards doing on Scotties channel 😂😮

[@RawGradeCards]

I wonder what the outcome would be if she had the cards in hand

[@CDGSports]

The clickbait got me😂 GOLD FOREVER

[@mauriciobori]

To be fair a physical review would be better since some parallels look way better in person but this reaction is very interesting sometimes "collectors" just follow the crowds and dont even think or care if the cards look good

[@Showcardsusa]

Great job, great guest. Hang on to that one :)

[@jpcards]

Fun idea and fun to watch.

[@reaganwightman1753]

This video is top tier A+++!

[@mauriciobori]

Can Topps just hire this lady to rename the refractors starting with "Ugly AFractor" XD hahaha love it

[@TtoTheRock]

Fun video! Well done on the rankings, Kaylin (sp?).

[@philiphewitt1801]

If she is your girlfriend Scottie,you are a lucky guy 🍀 BOSTON STRONG 💪🏼

[@whitesoxfancardcollector]

Cleaver video; it was fun.

[@kerouac906]

What? No tacofractor or frozenfractor?! Great point of view to throw out there though, I like how she looks as them as little pieces of art as they really are... Some art lands, some not so much.

[@mikea5205]

You got the names confused. There's RAY WAVE and regular WAVE. There is no Shimmer.

[@markinnes4264]

She got ba lot of the high value cards and low value cards in the right level.

[@SS-pc6dg]

Buttons is a puntable. Anything pink is F. You can't look at pictures to do this either.

[@kaylynbaldwin1389]

Don't tell the NFL about Buttons. She wouldn't last a day!

[@SS-pc6dg]

@@kaylynbaldwin1389 If you stopped feeding buttons and left her out in the wild I don't think she would last a day either. A puntable is any small dog who has no practical use other than being punted when trying to defend it's owner. Personally, I would get a cat before a small dog and/or a larger more ferocious dog but to each their own. The answer is no, I have never punted a small dog and I do not intend to.

[@kaylynbaldwin1389]

@@SS-pc6dg I know, my comment was intended to be quippy/punny joke on delightful football terminology. I never said or assumed you would kick a dog...especially one with a hair bow!

​@@kaylynbaldwin1389 Well please have a real baby (I have no idea if you have children) and not just fur babies.

Honestly I think she nailed it. Also Chrome is such a bloated product holy crap.

She only picked 2 true colors for A list tier but so happens to be the most valuable 2 to get lol nice. And not surprised to see a female putting the speckles in the A tier as well. Cool video

This was great 😂👍🏻👏

Ummmm...Kaylin is a Gem Mint 10.

[@tgeezee3453]

you have the cards so you should of given her a stack and put in order favorites . judgeing the first one with no idea what .. you spent all that time with the computer layout selectoin stuff but card in hand would of been a better way an image on cards that have reflective surfaces .. Do it over with real life props i bet she appreciates the Negative more maybe not but still One more time all card in hand and compair results ..

A pretty face is a pretty face. However an opinion that has no bearing on actual collector preference, hype and therefore value doesn't interest me.

@@jamesreynolds9673 hi James, thanks for watching. There was an actual goal for the video. It was for an outsider of sports cards to say what the best looking parallels are. Luckily my wife doesn’t know sports cards so she was a great person to ask.
