I got the Elly Mega Stars 15/75 out of a Target mega box. Was pretty shocked.

[@alvarhanso6310]

My only mega box so far yielded an Acuna Mega Stars 28/50. Have a few more on the way. Wish I had a Target nearby. Or anything.

[@jakebovie]

Did anyone see the Jason Dominguez he passed up ?

[@RetailRipper]

that posey looks amazing in orange.

[@dynamitelii501]

Golden Mirror is the most interesting variation/ssp. Its a completely different card/image than a parallel that is just a border color change or a foil overlay. Like an entire different rare set.

[@davedrago703]

I bought a box for $40. Pulled a numbered Corbin Carroll card to 299 and a Tatis HFA overall it was a great box. Debating about getting one from Target.

[@leochoiniere7576]

Hangers are bangers.. bought 4 hangers..hit 2 hfa, a black blueprint Parallel #/299. 2 golds, 8 yellows and 2 blues and holo. . No big rookie Parallels but cant complain with the dart throws

[@BostonBrawlah]

Are youuuuuu sure?!

[@joshuastephens894]

I'm loving monsters. It's been the best format I've experienced and the only thing I haven't opened is the fanatics boxes.

[@Noah-hd1lu]

Nice!I gotta get a couple monsters now lol, I got an auto in a fanatics box, and the aquas are sweet too!

[@benmoritz8860]

I ripped about a thousand dollars each of mega and hangers and the hangers destroyed the mega boxes for me. Regardless I have 2 more cases of each coming Monday or Tuesday do that could change from what I'm seeing here

[@JacobLowery12]

I love home run challenge cards. I collected a whole lot of them but forgot to use them.

[@Mclark112522]

Just getting back into this hobby again after a 25 year break and pulled a Yordan orange foil 13 of 25 out or one Mega box so excited.

[@ThisTheBreaks]

I heard that simple base cards have been pulled with 1/1 on the back of card. Any truth to that? If so you have alot of base to go through again. 😂

[@jasonward3295]

I would take 2 of these over the hobby boxes.

[@user-qx7cc6dv8m]

[@FearsomeBeaver8191]

I’ve bought 3. Ohtani Heavy Lumber Grayson Rodriguez /76 Goldschmidt /25 Griffey real one throwback /89 Cedanne /2024 Frelick /399

[@Dickiesmall]

I’m very new to card collecting!! I’ve pulled 4 hangers: 1 Elly base rookie, 1 Jasson Domínguez base rookie, Alex Verdugo purple Foilboard #/799, and Miles Mikolas gold #/2024.. nothing to retire on but exciting for a new collector! 🔥🤙🏼

[@thisbechris]

You knew that Henry Davis ‘89 icy was coming your way. I’m glad I spent my $ on the fanatics blasters instead of ordering these monster boxes. They don’t suck but the fanatics blasters are the best bang for the buck IMO.

[@HoopsHooper]

I miss topps 2022 update

[@JonGeandreau-kg1kj]

Talk about cheap boxes Dave and Adams had 2023 update blasters with the Halloween parallels for 13 bucks a blaster box. That's cheap.

[@Ragnarok691]

It’s going to be tough to match last year’s rookie class. 2022 and 2023 were both massive for rookies. This one is going to feel “light”.

[@AnthonyDorney]

Depends if Jackson holiday and Jackson Chourio make their debuts early and live up to the hype them with elly etc could drive the rookie class.

[@joseburgos9654]

This rookie class has the potential to be better than '22 & '23 combined in my opinion. Adley Rutschman is good, but he gives me the Matt Weiters vibe, an ex-Orioles who was also hyped up.

[@jakewiggins5117]

⁠@@joseburgos9654comparing Adley to Weiters is crazy

[@brandonhaag2670]

I'll compare cruz to acquino lol😂

Hi Stryker Breaks. I bought a monster box today ( 2/25/24) and hit an Elly De La Cruz Stars of MLB parallel number 04/25.

[@southsidefishing9582]

Love the vids man and I hope you keep em coming to give us all a good idea what boxes are best to invest in, but I’m kinda glad to see there’s not much on the stage. Gives the rest of us a better chance of a solid hit!

[@jonwilliams7671]

I got one at Walmart and gonna have to go bac.fkr more. Fun rip! Luken Baker/299 Emerson Hancock Auto/50 Bo Naylor Jersey card and Trout Foil. Another veteran to 999.

[@popsdyer731]

I saw 5 other boxes opened at once and they got 2 autos, parallels at a decent pace. The Elly seems to be card #2 in every pack and the JDom is closer to the insert/ parallels, collation of base cards is dismal

[@sarcasteriskchuck113]

Live that Freddy Mega Stars! I just ordered a Monster with a giftcard - and I WISH to get a pull like that or a Cubs Suzuki parallel 🍀

[@Rms9209]

I hit a Gold foilboard, 1989 Acuna Jr. #d /50 It was a fun rip.

[@blazininmanch]

Ya im getting a ton of Ellys but no Jassons

[@Time2Rip]

I opened a case of hobbies and I feel like these 5 outdid my entire case. The fantaics though have been the best, even for golds. I hit 5 golds in 10 fanatics boxes and alot more parallels etc.. So monster over hobbies and fanatics over everything so far.

[@smartluck100]

Thanks for getting back to me regarding the Nathaniel Lowe Aqua guard. Appreciate it.

[@JB-dv3to]

I got 2 of those. And got 5 homerun challenge cards but the big card was an adley Orange /25. Foil. Good stuff. 1 mega stars vlad

[@jeffreywarrick75]

I got 2 hobby boxes, and I think your monster megas are much better. I like the sparkly foil cards, whatever they're called 😅. The number of parallels you got blows away my hobbies. Even with my one auto and one relic card, I prefer these.

[@jeffreywarrick75]

I ordered 2 monsters 👻 via your link from Fanatics, thanks!

[@cardyard608]

Better than hobby for the $ for sure. I like the exclusive parallels this year in the different retail options. This seemed as good as hangers, but just a different haul. Thanks for the rip!

[@danieldewolf6608]

Love these product review videos and appreciate the time and effort you put into the spreadsheets! 🙌 🙌 Also, that orange Posey is sick!

[@nachoman2608]

I pulled two cards numbered out of /75 from hangers. A j-rod 89 gold and a Gunnar gold greatest hits.

[@TheCardFamily2016]

I ordered a monster box on Fanatics and I am pretty excited for it.

[@curtishascall3256]

I think Luciano could endup being the guy you want from this set.

[@markthompson7503]

I opened one Fanatics blaster and pulled an aqua Henry Davis RC, a blue Josh Lowe #/999, a base Elly, a Stars of MLB Elly and two HR Challenge cards of Juan Soto and J-Rod. Plus all the other aqua's and and Stars of MLB that was in there.

[@samwilson1610]

What would u sell the Henry davis for

[@ScottyMania313]

That Posey color match was dope (but as a Tigers fan, I hate it as well)

[@roosterterrier2138]

In my monster box -2 autos back to back - Post season Auto JOSH JUNG 11/50 Joey Wiemer auto plus good parallels - refractors !!! Great pulls !!!

[@Wolf-rc1tf]

I dig the Mega boxes. The foil boards are sweet and I pulled a Mega Stars Soto Purple out of /75.

[@Pejion.]

Hit a gold marco luciano/50; foilboard Elly and frelick too was a great box love the monster boxes this year

[@seipe1aj]

Mega's didn't seem to hit like the odds suggested. Opened 3 from target and got a Soto Gold Mega Stars to 50 and a gold parallel.

[@manny2562]

I would rather open this to grab the 89 ice parallels and the hangers for the yellows. I’ve only opened a jumbo box and 9 hangers. I’ve pulled some bangers out of each. 89 Luis Robert auto out of jumbo. But like that retail has something different to collect in each format. Fanatics blasters are a great value with the aqua in each pack

[@brandonrhodes8028]

1.) I'll buy your Home run challenge cards ( my dad hit 9 Ohtani's last year and I hit 4 Bobby's and 2 JRods) 2.) My big hits are always Byron Buxton and Cedric Mullins....like HFA's low numbered parallels. I swear I opened new stuff and I pull Byron, Cedric and Freddie Freeman like you do Henry Davis

[@KingArthurBaseball]

got a judge green mega stars /99 and it actually seems pretty rare. megas may be my favorite format i’ve ripped so far

[@thelegend6191]

All 5 of the fanatics blasters I opened had damaged corners. Shipped directly from fanatics. Disappointed

[@toddorndorfonthetoddcast4612]

Monsters have been absolutely killer for me! My LCS has em for $39 💪💪💪

[@davidarce5201]

I pulled a Evan Carter golden mirror 15 min ago from a Walgreen's hanger. Crazy!!

[@stewartbrown9751]

I think I’d rather just spend $250 on a good rare single than hold all those cards, personally. Evan Carter black is going for like $299

[@greghood659]

I did that with Mead and Gelof. Got cooked in a few case breaks. Not doing that again lol

[@TornadoOfCards]

I know that's right. I mostly buy singles because a box of wax just isn't worth the price for it. And yea, I'd have a bunch of junk cards that I'd just stuff in a box with the rest of my commons, smh.

[@anangrykubfu3131]

Nobody opens boxes to profit

[@TornadoOfCards]

@@anangrykubfu3131 oh really now

[@stewartbrown9751]

@@anangrykubfu3131 that’s 100% not true 😂

[@justbaseballcards5563]

I think hobby jumbo over these. 1 auto and silver packs with another chance for an auto.

[@sonnikdoh2510]

I got a couple hangers, a couple fanatics blasters and some Mega Boxes, those 3 retail boxes are by far the way to go.

[@solidslovak4906]

I spent 250 $ on 6 hangers, 8 fat packs, and 1 blaster box ....... Pulled an Acuna Jr. Atlanta braves color match and all the rookies a few good blues and yellows too !...... edit, I also got 4 blasters of stadium club and pulled a adley instavision case hit too along with a casas and bobby Witt Jr. Chrome refactor and a blue Byrce Harper out of 50

[@mikematlock5683]

I pulled 5 different elly de la Cruz RC in one mega box

[@DenDonDennis]

I think the coalation issues stem from location, I doubt that the factories mix up the boxes too much and that is why some people will get a lot of Elly's and hardly any Dominguez. In Wisconsin where I am at I have gotten tons of Elly but not as many Dominguez or Evan Carter. Not sure if you have opened any value packs but I have been getting a numbered card about 1/3 packs, they are not super low numbered or anything but there is some potential there. I'm not sure what to think of the monster boxes, numbered cards are good but you need them to be hits. I don't like how there wasn't even a mem card in 5 boxes.

[@benjohnson9618]

I went to my lcs last night for topps rip night and I pulled the biggest card I’ve pulled. Silver pack mojo red 5/5 Evan Carter

[@jt4185]

I heard Panini got the lockdown on “Mega” for a box, but it would be nice to get Mega Stars from Mega boxes. I’ve cracked 1 so far and got a gold Mookie out of 50. I have another box in the mail, so hopefully it works out. Thanks for sharing!

[@Garret1515]

Hey just was wondering if you have been looking out for the “firsts” 1/1 short prints. They are labeled 1/1 on base as the first ever print of those cards.

[@owej1k97]

so do you think monster boxes have the best chances and are the best box to buy

[@curtissoileau6029]

I pulled the Ohtani Megastars foilfractor 1/1 yesterday! 1:120,000 packs!

[@jbac1631]

That’s strange I know I have a small sample size but I’ve opened 4 mega box’s and had 2 numbered cards in each one

[@bsavidge]

I think this product has a higher ceiling than other retail formats. I've opened a few and there are dud boxes. But the boxes that hit seem to really hit

[@bigrayrips4725]

Pulled a gold /50 bobby witt jr foil 89

[@harrygrocholski8309]

Got lucky myself. Opened 1 box of hobby and pulled red autograph of Derek Jeter out of 25

[@oddballcards9176]

Love the Blueprint inserts ! thanks for the vid

[@user-kn1xe2vw8r]

Buster Posey to 25 was sick....

[@albertboersma7294]

Ya series 1 has been a Rollercoaster ride for me lots of fun i did hobby mega and blasters pulled Bryce Harper heavy lumber .purple miggy out of 75 and freddie freeman home sweet home red out of 10 autographed. Elly da la cruz silver rainbow foil 35th year anniversary rc.plenty of others but those are the most notable

[@somethingelsedoesmatter]

In Canada, the Monster boxes seen to be like $80 at Walmart. I'm debating grabbing one, but I regretted getting one of last year's series 1. It's so weird how the formats keep changing, and hobby now seems like the worst, to me, even though it's like $130 here, so not really twice as much as the Monster. I'll probably grab a couple hangers too.

[@SilverSluggerCollectibles]

I heard there are random short prints that aren't flipped around, numbered or anything. Actual image variations supposedly are throughout the base cards 🤔

[@magadonaldtrump5473]

I got a Elly 35th anniversary numbered 08/89 is that worth anything?

[@gregeppley9643]

I like this set and the rookies in it but like you said there is definitely a collation problem I've bought 4 hangers and twelve blasters now and only pulled 1 JD and no Evan Carter base cards for my set.

[@btrain11]

I agree coalition is off. I’ve opened about 300$ worth of retail and I’ve yet to hit an Elly

[@NateCardsNmore]

Picked up a mega/monster my numbered cards were a gold /2024 and my second was a Camo!! No one significant but it was still a dart throw 🤜💥🤛

[@Cooper-ld6ye]

opened a mega got pretty lucky with numbered cards with 4 of them but no big names unfortunately

[@markthompson7503]

NICE Posey team color match #/25 -

[@RawGradeCards]

Imagine the loaded case with doubles of Elly foils 🤯

[@StrykerBreaks]

I was thinkin the same thing

[@PastPresentBall]

Not even excited about the HRC cards at this point. I have 3-4 from 2023 that won back in July and they’re still processing

[@keithcapellaro5165]

I ordered a box of the monster box. I pulled a clear acetone Edwin Diaz 10/10 in a pack of 2024 topps series 1

[@gregorybenoit8526]

Those are hobby only, liar.

[@macmadden6188]

So everybody's like the monsters. Is it only good to think about the hobbies of jumbo's Z silver packs or Those trash As well?

[@ChasingMajors]

Thanks for the website shootout

[@kw9377]

Saw someone pulled a Dominguez clear rookie /10 from a hobby yesterday… crazy

[@GingerAle4Life]

Is the megga box the same as monster box?

[@shorebreakcards]

It seems like a low floor-high ceiling figuration, not horrible but not awesome. Thanks for sharing the rip!

[@rb20237]

Hey man have you ever hit a home run challenge card?

[@thomasorecchio4476]

Could you save some good volpe hits if you get any so I can buy

[@whitealroker]

I opened 4 didn’t get a numbered foil board 😞

[@trix3118]

Where exactly are you finding these boxes? I can’t find them to save my life at any stores

[@StrykerBreaks]

I included a product link in the video. Check it out.

[@sonnikdoh2510]

I believe the Fanatics Blasters sold out a couple days ago.

[@jc89player]

Frank Thomas orange out of 50 pulled from a mega today.

[@roosterterrier2138]

Just bought a box at Barnes and Noble

[@fenstersfinds4811]

I pulled an Ichiro /10 from my box. Pretty nice stuff.

[@D1three]

I’m excited to see these cards in chrome

[@sacarr1985]

Man I wish I was able to get a couple of the Fanatics boxes

[@KustryRuntz]

Freddy Freeman straight out fryin pan bro👊

[@bigdog6374]

My personal take is they made Series 1 more kid friendly which it should be and less influencer/flipper friendly. Tons of color but not good names that everyone wants. Other than the Soto/Ohtani SSP's I haven't really seen anybody pull an absolute monster hit of any big name guys. Have we even seen any of the big /50 or less parallels ( MD, FD, ID) of Elly or Dominguez ?

[@ryancarmody2168]

At least you get mojos in a traditional mega or no?

[@jefftaylor3639]

You say you arent getting the JD's and then you blew right by one at 21:50. Ha

[@johnrosans9429]

Series 1 dart throws just aren’t as meaningful as an Update or other release with the bloated checklist and high print run in Series 1. I bought three of these from Target and got lucky. Retail blue J-Dom and 5 numbered cards, including Elly as my lone gold /2024. But the norm will be you’ll hit a numbered card or two of some random dude in each box. And lots of vets on the silver foil ‘89 inserts. It still can be a fun rip… if you understand there’ll be a lot of dead packs and that hits might yield nothing. Your five boxes with the golden mirror and two cards /25 seem way better than average. Congrats! (And please rip some more in the name of sample size.) 😁

[@deanfowler7028]

Stryker I would love to buy your hr challenge cards sir

[@VegasSharp]

Bobby Witt JR HR Challenge cards fly off the shelf on my Ebay store.

[@brad3225]

Anyone see what kind of card you get from the homerun cards?

[@OrangeJoe27]

Looks like all the other formats. There's a chance or 2 for greatness but you'll probably end up feeling ripped off. Ordered 2 boxes and I'm regretting it before I've even gotten them.

[@veryoaty8921]

Those fanatics boxes are going for a ton on eBay now

[@joseburgos9654]

Any retail format is better than hobby or jumbo. From the videos I've seen on hobby and jumbo they are a hard pass with very little numbered parallels to obtain. At least with retail they're yielding exclusive parallels with at least one numbered parallel.

[@bradhey933]

You missed a Dominguez in the 5th box
