Started following Topps over fanatics fest weekend and im so far down the rabbit hole. Started wit the Ohtani 40/40 card which i bought 5 of. Then came to watch your videos and now i just bought two monster boxes from fanatics lol. Wish me luck on my first boxes. I was the comic collector and my brother had binders full of cards from the 90s we lost in a house fire. So hoping the collector gods smile on me.

Was waiting to see a bigger opening of these. 100% take these over blasters, if you can get them for retail prices. I opened 2 and got 1 auto and 2 #'d cards and $60 in Judges. My only concern is that these will be $120 a box soon, but since they are still available on Topps, there must be plenty of supply. Still overpriced IMO, and I think we both heavily beat the odds in our boxes.

Hobby box Topps 2024 is $242 from Fanatics and 2023 Optics football $800-$1200. Pretty sad state. My favorite cards in 2024 Topps are the 35th edition cards.
