(8) MONSTER BOXES!!! 2023 Topps Chrome Baseball Cards Retail Value Comparison

[@jreel8245]

@16:50 I got a Riley Greene Black Chrome Refractor #/ 74 in a 2023 Topps Heritage Hangar I think Riley’s a sleeper

[@Cruisinandlosin]

Good stuff man. Here's something interesting that's related to your value tracker. I pulled a shohei negative out of a 30 dollar value box last week. I was pretty happy about it.

[@lindzeynikodem6433]

I bought one monster box. They had 3 and I did that thing where you pick each box up contemplating which one to buy. The notable cards were Corbin Carroll, Gunner Henderson, Corbin Carroll X-Fractor and a Oswald Cabrera Purple Sonic

[@thomasshenton577]

I just got done, ripping a Walmart box.. last one 😮 it was fire 🔥💯 BANGERS 🔥 on top of BANGERS 🔥🔥🔥 2023 Topps Chrome and 2022 Topps Chrome platinum are my favorite too collect and rip❤ Enjoy your videos ❤ , keep up the great work 👍. GOD bless you and yours ❤️🙏

[@radzripz8308]

Bought one last night and pulled an Oscar Colas auto /99, Jung base and XFractor, Alvarez X Fractor, and a Bobby Witt X-Fractor. More than paid for the box and the Chrome Platinum blaster I bought. Would definitely get another one.

[@mldave458]

The Michael Harris auto rocks!!!! I recently pulled his auto out of 23 Archives, a hobby Masters numbered to 23, really sweet cards!!

[@Packmann59]

I’m a late night clicker also. I do a lot Topps now. I like how you categorize the different box offerings

[@MrSolarith]

I’ve opened 2 monster boxes. Pulled 1 green rookie auto in my first box. 3 base Shohei’s total 1 Xfractor Shohei 2 Adley XFractor 2 gunner XFractors And a ton of other Rookie X’s/Prisims

[@brandonhorne6635]

Weird how I still haven’t seen any retail chrome in my area? But yet breakers have cases 🤔

[@markthompson7503]

Same here. My LCS didn't even have any yet. Strange how there is none to be found across the country yet. I ordered some off Target's website. Have three boxes coming this week but I want to buy a hobby from my LCS

[@angeloarchuleta8125]

I finally found blasters at Barnes and Noble a few days ago. Nowhere else in the wild

[@bobgriffin8472]

Great video. I ended up with 11 23’ chrome auto’s with some late night clicking last night. Thanks again!!

[@GriseldaBSF410]

Awesome rip I was waiting for this video! I missed out on the monster boxes unfortunately. The QC in hobby boxes was good but my blaster boxes have been rough. Lots of surface issues. I did get an Ezequiel Tovar Purple Speckle auto /299 in a blaster I grabbed 2 from Target and got a colored auto,Yordan green /99,a blue Sonar /125 plus an Ohtani base and an Acuna refractor! Unbelievable! Blasters from Topps had better qc coincidentally

[@chrisc4264]

I can't even find any Megas and I won't pay resale so guess I'll stick with blasters. I pulled a Casas image variation and a Harris Prism and 28 total refractors out of 4 blasters. Thank you Stryker for sharing your pulls. Seems to me Walker, Alvarez, and Carroll are the tougher to pull rookies in this.

[@tracer1878]

Yeah idk how accurate those odds are. I opened 2 of these and got a CJ Cron(👎) to /275 and a scrub rookie auto. Best card was an Adley xfractor.

[@GeorgiaPinchis]

Great Video, but I think the most valuable unnumbered refractors would be the negative refractors. Seems like they go for the most.

[@TG-jv8lf]

I only got one of these from Walmart no autos for me but I got a regular Henderson rc and an adley xfractor like you did so I was really happy as an Os fan

[@joseburgos9654]

Retail will always be the better buy especially with the addition of the MVP Buyback cards, which alone can pay for the box at a low price. The problem I see is that the secondary prices can get to hobby prices quickly.

[@TheCardDeal]

For 23 Chrome I agree 100%. I just finished a case of blasters. If Acuna/Ohtani holds up, 460.00 in buybacks, 6 autos, 13 colored/#'s, Aaron Judge image variation SP, 2 Untra Violet SP inserts, 80 pinks, 80 sepia, base and inserts etc. I am loving it.

[@jeremyharrington9025]

I got two negatives in a blaster box from target and a corbin

[@zeusdeuce7438]

You lucky dog. Beautiful Michael Harris auto. Excited to see these hit retail shelves

[@Krysdavar]

I would think Pink & Sepia refractors in blasters would cancel out Xfractors in monster boxes, so blasters are still best bang for $$.

[@StrykerBreaks]

X-Fractors are worth quite a bit more than sepias and pinks

[@Krysdavar]

You're right. Was trying to see some balance between the two but there's the Xfractor difference.

[@mikeywop4786]

Opened 2 monsters...ohtani Refractor, Corbin rc, wander/275 purple non auto, Derek Jeter ultra violet case hit, Gerrit Cole purple /275

[@matisyahuleiman9550]

yo the Harris is b/c of the braves cap!! Keep doin what your doin love it!!

[@TheCardDeal]

Amazing run! Love the transparency, always keeping it real. This is not the norm, but remember kids, the odds are based on the entire print run. Any given day, box, pack etc you can pull anything! Keep on ripping ✌🏽⚾️🇺🇲

[@dakota1575]

Are you saying there's no real difference between a Hanger box or a monster box from Walmart

[@TheCardDeal]

@@dakota1575 Yes a difference, but if you buy on a small level let's say 1 box, the odds are different. I compare it to lottery tickets. The back of an instant scratch off ticket will sometimes say odds of winning 1 in 4. However you can buy 10 off the roll and not win anything. Same with cards, you can buy a box and do great just like 1 lottery ticket. Those stated odds are over the whole entire print run. And we have seen many early review videos tell us that the better play is in another product, yet until larger scale sample size is seen like case breaks, I stay on the cautious side for most new releases. Topps always has us in a zigzag position. Once we thing blasters are it, they load up hangers. They are not keeping the same theme as last year, however the only constant thing Fanatics has done since taking over is increase print run on every release by introducing new parallels. No products are trimmed down, none are cheaper. Just have to play along if you want to be a collector these days. Try to have fun and all usually plays out ok.

[@EddieGobbo66]

@@dakota1575ya never know

[@Time2Rip]

On of my favorite things to collect in Topps Now is if they make one for a game that I went too. I went to the Braves Pirates series in Pittsburgh a week ago and there was 2 Matt Olson cards made, so that is fun. I usually redeem points, you can get 6 free cards with points and often hit a parallel.

[@TubeAdddict11]

I ordered 2 boxes from Fanatics on release day, was (My first ever Fanatics order) they still haven't shipped and the estimated delivery date is 3 weeks. So this is will likely be my Last fanatics order. That's Ridiculous shipping speed. They Look great though, thanks Stryker my man.

[@AnthonyDorney]

Boom!! Crazy you got better autos out of the worst format by odds vs an entire case of junbos with 24 autos guaranteed!! The xfractors are the icing on the cake too. I only opened 1 and got riley greene, Corbin carroll, and Volpe xfractors out of the same box! Really dig the xfractors

[@markthompson7503]

Nice Strider purple. I have yet to see Chrome in my area. I am hearing from lots of people around the country that it's not hitting the stores or something fishy is going on. I finally broke down and ordered some from Target.

[@johnrosans9429]

Fanatics sold out. Hopefully they have more and offer them up again. I regret ordering only two of these last week. Thanks for sharing.

[@StrykerBreaks]

Yeah I went to order some more and found out they were sold out. Bummer but maybe it's for the best that I stop while I'm ahead.

[@mnplumberman]

Are these Fanatics exclusive or will they have them at Walmart like last year

[@jnycards5478]

Last year I was opening Megas for $45 on eBay and was making my money back because of the MVP Buy Back. I was hitting parallel MVPs like crazy! Great video! I appreciate the breakdown as always.

[@gameinformationpokertheory]

Every time Stryker hits on a product it triggers a run on the item. 2023 Topps Series 2 Hangers and Fat Packs went crazy after Stryker’s video is released. Brett from Step Into The Box has the same effect (2022 Bowman Fat Packs - Security Tags). I fully expect everybody to be hunting for 2023 Topps Chrome Monster Boxes after this. Hahaha! Stryker, the MLB Influencer…he talks…Americans listen. 😂⚾️

[@jasonknox7086]

Watching this today inspired me to grab a monster box from Walmart after work, pulled a Mike Trout Sp orange out of 25

[@craigwilde1359]

I've only bought blaster so far. I pulled a Wander Gold and JHB Rookie Auto, please a base Acuna Jr and Pink Freeman. I think I did alright...

[@lescamp79]

Fanatic's Sold out of this unless they have a special wax site there isn't any online unless you're paying ebay prices.

[@jongeandreau3374]

Didn't know that these were even available yet. I love them x fractors. Sold an Ohtani Vlad Jr and Tatis Jr rookie xfractors for a grand a few years ago. I wish I held onto the Ohtani.

[@ripnandflipnwax378]

Lol

[@indycarddude24]

27:39 I got a Byron Buxton negative off camera

[@josephdill3776]

I’ve checked multiple days a week, at 7 am and after noon at my local Walmart and I am finding plenty of Bowman and even 2022 stadium club chrome, but not a single format of 2023 Topps Chrome retail. It’s crazy.

[@pxtey]

did anyone see the adley gold titans card at 13:10 i think it should be numbered to /50

[@StrykerBreaks]

That wasn't a gold but you should watch the video I just posted yesterday....you will like it

[@TheThreeJTs]

Yeah, both autos were super clean!!! Congrats to you, and thanks for the rip!

[@tylerwenrich8565]

Cant wait for mine now. They're going to arrive tomorrow. Hope i have luck like you do

[@stephenmcmillan6905]

Gah you pulled a Michael Harris Auto!! As a Braves fan that would be my favorite pull of the year!

[@rdaex]

I've ripped 8 blasters and basically tripled my money back on them. These look 🔥 as well!

[@RobertKolb-g9u]

Do you work for a radio station? Your content is more relatable than almost all others. Thanks

[@StrykerBreaks]

Thanks!

[@JeffreyBeckerPhotographs]

Those were some amazing Monster boxes, and those two autos were no slouches!! Great pulls!! Congratulations!

[@uncfester8230]

Awesome opening ..I would just take 20$ off the price of the box to get the value bc not every box is gonna give you a good rookie , Acuna , shohei , xfractor but probaly every other one will

[@Enfield13]

I bought 5 each of the De La Cruz Topps Now cards when he hit for the cycle and when he stole all those bases but I didn't get anything numbered which is to bad.

[@FANO562]

Awesome video I can’t wait to get my hands on some Mega’s! Retail for the win for me I have killed it with blasters

[@justinholland996]

I riped 3 megaboxes last week got a rookie parallel auto ourt of 99 only got 27 x factors and only go 20 pack so idk but the auto was pretty sweet!

[@indycarddude24]

All the blaster boxes I opened off camera (5) which was $175, gave me around 20$ back so yeah, blasters kinda suck

[@colbyscardscollectibles9958]

Holy **** you have been gifted the two best Monster Boxes known to man

[@sebrerosfamilycardcollecti6352]

I love the autos, but the xfractors are 🔥

[@carlosvargas1874]

I bought 4 boxes and two of the 4 had autos. All four had one or two numbered cards

[@muddysouth55]

“Sometimes I go late night clickin” made me laugh 😂

[@gregreyes9121]

Me and my buddy each got a box from our LCS, I got a Carroll xfractor and refractor, Acuna xfractor, mookie xfractor, baty xfractor plus Senga and Alvarez for my PC and an auto. My buddy pulled some rookie /350. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m debating to go get a couple more monster boxes, any thoughts?

[@doylee30]

With print runs on the topps products getting closer to the junk wax era I believe the topps now cards will be worth some $ down the road. A fraction printed less. Thanks for the video!

[@beso4247]

I spent $35 and got 1 auto 1 negative 1 numbered out of a blaster

[@wg1408]

I haven't collected baseball cards in about 10 years. I was always hooked on Bowman Chrome and Sterling. Now my son is collecting and we want to bust some packs open. What would be a good way to drop maybe $1000-1500 on packs nowadays?

[@baseball_rocks]

Really enjoy your channel the most when you open product for your pc and card reviews. For the buyback program, are the refractor inserts part of it or just the standard cards? Thanks Stryker!

Hey Stryker, love the channel man! Only took me a couple days to become a Slammer 😂 Question for you, what’s your general criteria for what’s worthy of grading in the 2023 chrome product?

[@StrykerBreaks]

I don't have a set criteria, but it's a combo of quality, raw price vs psa 10 price vs psa 9 price minus grading fees and business cash flow considerations.

[@boomroasted24]

@@StrykerBreaks Thanks for the reply! So in the case of not having PSA 9/10 prices for Topps Chrome yet to compare to, would you use previous sets PSA 9s/10s for that player to judge?
