People paying more than retail for this product are crazy. It’s not even worth the $50. You get a lot of parallels, but it’s unlikely you’ll hit the players worth hitting. It’s like 1 out of every 5 boxes is good. They’re glorified blasters.

[@MalakiOlsen]

i opened one box, got a 50 dollar skenes ray wave, a purple speckle auto , and a green ray wave.

[@gregorybenoit8526]

I just sold 21 of them @ $75 a piece 🤷‍♂️

[@landon16_5]

@@gregorybenoit8526yeah you’re the problem

[@Chucknorrisatemybaby]

@@MalakiOlsenyeah, like I said, it’s like 1 in every 5 boxes are good. Usually not just good, but a banger. I’ve opened a few and the best I got, no joke, was an Iminaga rookie debut xfractor.

[@Chucknorrisatemybaby]

@@gregorybenoit8526 those people are bad with money. But good for you. I’d do the same if I found more megas.

[@jacklayton-f2h]

these look right up my alley thanks!

[@karlmoles6530]

LMAO your face when you pulled the Kikuchi 🤣

[@marcmikesell5280]

Basically 50$ for a blaster box because 28 cards is not a monster box. I bought a Jackson Merrill magenta lava lamp for 50$ on eBay the other day and I’d say the odds of pulling one of those out of one mega box is pretty bad so I’ll just stick to singles.

[@ryanblaze932]

The Megas are $50 not blasters

[@EllyDeLaCruzWorshipper]

These things are just way too much of a gamble for 50. My box was absolutely horrible, I’ve opened better retail packs. Thanks for sharing though!

[@deanwilson7070]

Thanks to you and Cubby putting together the value sheet, enjoy the content.

[@apro8lem841]

I got my box for $50. Cheapest on ebay is around $80. For a few days all I could find were the $300 boxes.

[@SlappySnipes69]

Love your stuff man, fellow Michigander here, love what you do for the hobby and the work you put into your stuff!!!

[@skorpiontamer]

If anyone still wants to get Chrome, Walmart has the Spring release monster boxes for under $70 each. And you can get up to 12 per order. Especially with the MVP buybacks being in then. (FWIW: I got 3 numbered cards and a 4th autograph from 2 boxes I opened earlier this week)

[@AZSportsCardRips]

Because the Skenes 1/1 Patch is still out there + social media push from Livy Dunne/Pirates, these have gone up but luckily recent restocks might level out the pricing. I bought 1 Mega on release day at GameStop - the guy didn’t have them out displayed - he had them in the drawer and I only saw them because he went into the drawer to get me Flagship Update he was holding for me. The 1 Mega I bought had an Aqua RayWave Skenes /199 + Diamond Dominance + another RC Orange /25. 3 Raywaves total - 2 of which were numbered. If i hadnt hit the Skenes, it’s just a bunch of non-numbered Xfractors and not worth it…

[@LetsTurn2]

Appreciate all the info and numbers. For me, it just gets down to what is affordable and fun to open. I've only opened one of these, and hit a huge card. Great video as always, appreciate the PC rips

[@jeffreyhammack3557]

My take these aren’t worth more than $40 a box. Those 16 parallels are more than likely only worth $1-2 each. Factor in one nice insert or rookie hit worth another 5-10 per box if your lucky

[@xiphiasoffishwell4781]

I'm about to drop $20,000 on some product to get that Orion Kerkering Debut Patch. I know what I'm about son.

[@GamblingMatt]

Ive been opening a lot. The jumbos or breakers are by far the best hits but most are sold out... its been forcing me to do hobbys which are meh and the megas ive had no luck

[@ethanfenton5760]

I pulled 20 non-base cards out of one of these. I Paid $100 but definitely one of the better products they released.

[@Bryan45552]

Normally I'd be all over x-fractors as a reason to rip this, but they made over 300,000 of these boxes...so every player has over 17,000 x-fractors in the population. I'll buy the singles of my guy, but 28 cards for $50, even if 20+ are non-base, just rubs me the wrong way.

[@DaREALJonN]

I saw these for $120 on ebay. It's worth about $20 maybe of you're lucky

[@onedge247]

I got SMOKED on one of these megas last night. Ordered one more from Target with the red card. Hoping it's better.

[@user-ep4vf1qs2n]

Help, new to the modern stuff! For example, if I buy a numbered aqua refractor should I even keep my prism refractor or sell it to get my money back? Are prism refractors even worth holding on to if I upgrade to a numbered refractor? Asking for a friend. Haha!

[@user-ep4vf1qs2n]

Star players only like the 3 Jacksons, Elly, etc

[@raginggamer2109]

I just stopped at a random target as I was on way home and they were literally stocking the baseball cards so I had to wait in line. 10 people in front of me - all waiting for poleman 😂. Grabbed 4 boxes and got money back plus. 3 autos also

[@mperry0913]

Just curious, but with this release being late/end of the season, and the hot cards to get are already known, would Topps load the cheaper items like the $50 Mega boxes with more common rookies and load the more expensive products with the more sought-after ones? For instance, they knew by this release that Skenes, Holliday, Chourio were top hits, so would they load these in Mega boxes to a say 1:4 ratio of other less/low sought-after rookies.

[@CJNVol]

I feel like the prism refractors, regardless of the type of box it comes out of, all have print lines in this release.

[@damiangray3605]

These megas are hitting pretty good! In my opinion. Yesterday i bought 4 boxes. Pulled an Elly x fractor parralel & skenes x fractor & a Jackson merril black wave 9/10 and 2 pitcher autos.

[@TurdFerguson643]

You are an anomaly. Congrats.

[@damiangray3605]

@TurdFerguson643 its my second batch. Im 8 boxes in so far. 1st 4 came from game stop 2nd batch Target it was targets 2nd batch i had all those hits. Im moving on to a case of 6 hobby next

[@TurdFerguson643]

@@damiangray3605 sigh. *opens target webpage* I hear the autos have been hard to pull from Mega, so nice on the two you’ve pulled. Is it me or do the xfractors look crazy great in update?

[@jasonvanlishout3842]

With so many parallels it seems like the base cards are the true stars

[@GenoOSU_1999]

Hey Stryker, long time. I bought two chrome update mega boxes off Amazon because I’ve got about $700 on my account and figure I might as well spend a little also bought a 2022 update hanger with it as well. In the two mega boxes, by far, the best card I got was a Skenes negative, the update hanger didn’t disappoint with a gold Bobby Witt Jr debut. The Witt debut I actually didn’t even have , so that was nice.

[@sqeej]

Got a skenes image variation in the 2 megas i opened, sadly it has a bunch of scratches from factory.. gonna be sending that one back to topps

[@VictorDascanio]

Heard the greatest take by a caller to 93.7FM in Pittsburgh. Caller said Nutting needs to stop worrying about The Skenes RC and spend $$$ on players instead of food stamps and welfare checks😂😂😂

[@manny2562]

I pulled two Jackson Merrill xfractors out of my two boxes and a Yamamoto. I could tell from the correlation that they were not in those boxes. It goes Merrill, Yamamoto, Keith and I think Langford follows. That was in one pack. I think it is worth it for the $50 dollar range.

[@CardReaper007]

Love you breaking products and giving the per dollar price. You’re the only one I watch that does that and I appreciate that! Also, don’t know if you would be interested in a Spencer Torkelson rookie auto

[@brickbreaker8148]

Definitely a better pay out with lottery tickets

[@ryanbauer8317]

yes yes yes! if paying retail

[@adamk8892]

It's not likely, but from 4 boxes I hit Otani, Harper, Skenes, Holliday, Clase, Judge, a numbered Juan Soto and a numbered Mason Miller and a negative.

[@matthewmclagan245]

It only costs $50 to pull a patch auto if you pick the right box 😉

[@dawgdays7267]

Nice hat. Go Braves!

[@heatermeup666]

Do you have these excel spreadsheets that I could pull up somewhere?

[@mikekrantz7436]

I ordered 12 from topps. I have one box left to rip but the majority of my x fractors are 30/70 OC or worse.

[@billcain7821]

Excellent video and keep up the GREAT WORK!!! Now on to my thoughts. I think you have to look at it this way just because you're not looking for certain RC players you have to remember others are because those players are playing on their home team or came from their home city/town, favorite team and whatnot. They'll want those X-Fractors, Prisms, Refractors and so on so don't just toss them aside like you did they all still have value to someone and or someone's and count overall while you're nickel n diming yes, no, maybe, sometimes, always, never? Also, you can't just toss aside the super star player inserts or parallels they all have value maybe not in your book but again as I said above as we like to say any Trout is a good Trout and the same can be said and holds true for say a Freddie Freeman, Aron Judge, Juan Soto, Shoei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and so on and so on and so on. I try to look at the overall positive picture and in my book you kind of nailed it when you count all the X-Fractors, Prisms, Refractors, Ray Waves, Lavas that you got. But then again what do I know, right? After all I'm just another one of your run of the mill average Joe nobody's giving his 2 cents worth. You and your family have a good, safe and blessed rest of yer day and upcoming weekend.

[@bobgriffin8472]

Not happy with update chrome. And I thought it was going to be better then regular update. What a bummer. Series one let’s go. New chasers

[@CORE1.8MINISTERIES]

You know, instead of saying it's the wrong red or wrong Dodgers or wrong pirate, just say oops

[@ryanbauer8317]

I hit an /5 Mauricio, and some great xfractors

[@joshbuffum4882]

bought one from gamestop for 47$ and i pulled a 1/5 shota imanaga red refractor

[@STYXlawiiYT]

One thing i’ve never understood about card collecting if it takes $1000 to rip to find like an “orange numbered card” why doesn’t each orange card go for somewhere near a $1000. If you don’t pull a rookie big name most of the time it wont even pay for the box. Thats what i’m not a fan of… just my opinion tho

[@locodragon28]

Because it turned into a stock market not a hobby

[@locodragon28]

Hobbies you usually don't make any money on

[@johnnyeproductions]

I'm a buyer on any Brewers (I have the Chourio) Frelic, Dunn, T Black

[@gamedaylegends515]

Thank you for sharing the review! I was on the fence spending money on less. I have been having a blast with just good old Update! But, might have to open the wallet for some chrome. You da Best brotha!

[@milo073]

these boxes are truly feast or fab

[@sliven21]

Thanks for the video! As I can't find these anywhere at a decent price, im still buying fanatic blasters

[@maninthevan53]

What I can't figure out what are the short print and variations I already opened 10 boxes and nothing great just average

[@pdubya-L]

Thanks to Cubby, and I appreciate the honesty about the description of the parallels in megas calling them "low level."...I personally like these parallels but they will not set the world on fire in terms of worth

[@CashFlowGoe]

I got an ASG Rafael Devers /5 out of my first hobby box

[@msgemporium]

I literally laughed out loud when K reared his ugly head. That reaction was priceless!! 😂😂

[@jesnyc146]

Great looking cards, nice checklist but the value is just not there. Spending $150-$300 for 3-4 mega boxes, think of the kind of awesome singles you could buy instead. Sure, there's a chance for an epic auto, but odds are you won't land one

[@vinny2291]

hey stryker love the vids, for topps card which top loader is better 35pt or 55pt?

[@TurdFerguson643]

Am I the only one who thinks that the all chrome border xfractors look better than the 1st Topps Chrome release xfractors? They look sharppp

[@turbo_champion]

Ripped a chrome hobby box last night got a skenes stratospheric stars /99. Glad I went hobby instead of megas

[@chadhowell1328]

Well dang, I left all 20 some odd boxes on the shelf yesterday at target and I’m sure they are gone now. I’ll have to make a trip and check I guess though

[@the43rdparallelthrift34]

Honestly, you saved yourself some disappointment...I've seen nothing good come out of these boxes.

[@bowie6639]

I ordered a Paul Skenes off Teemu and got a Jared Jones 😂

[@murdock0z3dkpe28]

2 min into the video: These are awesome! 10min into the video: Horrible! I know I know... unlucky with the names. But still, this is overprinted garbage i would never pay over 60-65 a piece for these. Good luck to the degens that will

[@altonT]

Bought 2 boxes on Walmart online today for $50 each. According to Walmart I saved $200. They were selling for $150 a mega. I hesitated at $50, knowing there is just a small chance of pulling the player you want. If you did spend $150 for a mega box, a fool and his money are soon parted.

[@jakehock11]

Great vid! I pulled a /99 Cade Smith auto from my mega box. Pretty pleased overall but definitely got lucky.

[@brandonrojas2623]

With the refractors being so common the prices of them have lowered

[@williamdunlapwaxnews]

Yep that's what people don't realize. Non numbered refractors and the stuff that's guaranteed in every box is not worth crap anymore.

[@williamdunlapwaxnews]

Its funny ive seen enough to know the mega boxes suck but everyone always commenting on how great they did. Its actually funny how much people bs. Im not saying no one ever does well but 99% of the time your not going to even make half your money back. I been ripping retail wax for a few years now and yes i do get lucky sometimes but most of the time i loose money. I rip probably 3 to 4 days a week and when i but fat packs i usually buy 20-30 at a time or 5-10 blasters so i know some people dont get as lucky as they say they do.

[@Brody2525]

Will you be making a part 2 and opening more of these?

[@zpsychotiicz]

I bought 4 boxes and got a couple autos and refractors and numbered cards I felt like I got my moneys worth

[@nate1111-b4u]

1:336k megaboxes to pull a debut patch 😂

[@MGAF688]

Wow. It is hard to believe anyone would pay more than $50/box for this stuff. You aren't going to generate half that value in most boxes. I'm a singles collector. So, I don't really care!

[@uncfester8230]

You typically pull autos out of these chrome Megas i would say we need a part but that would be bad advice ..i still remember you oulkjng a dominguez out of one year if these

[@tomfnyep6929]

I saw on the top 10 pulls of the week that the Skenes RC Gold Vinyl 1/1 was pulled out of Topps Chrome. (NOT THE 1/1 MLB DEBUT PATCH AUTO!). ALSO the 1/1 Skenes Gold RC or whatever was ALREADY pulled from 2024 Topps Holiday. Like holiday is dead for me now
