Wax vs Singles: The Ultimate Showdown PART 3

This is part three of wax vs singles series where I break down the results from the two cases of 2022 Topps Heritage High Number baseball cards and compare it to what I could buy in single cards from the same release. Pros. vs Cons of wax an singles, prices of cards, shopping for singles and the results of what I bought for the price of two cases of sealed wax.

I think singles are more economical financially in general, but opening wax is more fun/satisfying when finding stuff.

[@andrewmoore1488]

Love these kind of videos. I also love how you care about the hobby and those of us that collect and are always looking for ways to help us with the hobby. You're a true fan of collecting and I appreciate that as someone who collects to collect and not to profit. Thanks again with all the valuable info you provide!

In the movie "Contact" with Jodi Foster is one if my favorite quotes. "Why have 1 when you can have 2 at twice the price" - The Government

[@jongreen7119]

That is the reason for Stryker Breaks, the surprise of what you will get, without the cost of purchasing all the wax. Dart through

[@gregwilliams855]

The entre Wax vs Singles series was a fun and informative ride. Thanks!

[@StrykerBreaks]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@chrisc4264]

To me it depends upon the product. When wax wasn't so highly priced, the risk wasn't that bad. There is far more benefit to me in most cases to just buy the card. I PC Kobe so in most cases its cheaper to buy the card I want. 90s wax is way too highly priced. On the newer stuff, it seems to me it varies . With high cost products like Sapphire, I feel it's better off to buy singles. Thank you for sharing Stryker. As usual, very informative

[@RayRay_Davit]

Love these "Masterclass" type videos. Awesome. So yeah I feel there is a sweet spot between singles and wax but like a lot of spots...it may be difficult to find. Ha! Let's go!

[@hollywood_crue]

After watching this video I bought that Julio Rodriguez 2022 Topps Heritage Rookie RC PSA 10 on eBay for $18

[@dylanmarotta6928]

stryker i have been waiting for this video thank you! you the man

[@sheggmunpoker]

I think another underrated pro to ripping is that the card is "new". Even if you buy a raw single or even a graded card, it has already been owned and touched by someone else. For me, there's something about being the only person to have owned a card that I like. Idk the full process of cutting sheets and packing and/or removing the card from a card saver and encasing when you submit for grading, but part of me thinks it's possible that my card has only realistically been touched by my hand and my hand only, which to me, makes it a bit more special.

[@roosterterrier2138]

Always great info !!!

[@JayWallEnt]

Only thing I noticed that might be a little off in the experiment is that you only subtracted the grading fees for the ones you were accounting for gemming. Thank you very much for this experiment. Extremely entertaining, in the name of science!

[@colecdc]

Stryker perfectly described the hobby here

[@davedrago703]

I like how K word is also a highlight now. 😂😂

[@Packstothemax59]

Finally the finale

[@nickmadonna5829]

The Bobby Witt Super in heritage high hasn’t been pulled yet, saw the Julio get pulled though , that’s probably a huge modern card still hiding

[@degeneratechris]

That was actually super helpful. As somebody new to the hobby but familiar with flipping (ive been a reseller on ebay for 6 years, unrelated to sports/cards) this was cool to see.

[@StrykerBreaks]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rippindickys]

Very thought out pros and cons list and very honest valuations!

[@JackSagan]

I opened a case, pulled the Bobby Image SP and it gemmed! I’m the $340 comp. Sweet card for sure!

[@punttothehead]

memberberries 😂 great episode

[@Bigmoney68237]

Been waiting for this video for a while. Let’s go

[@thatguyronwaiters6485]

You just showed why you're the best 👌 great video I personally like opening mainly for the reasons you explained

[@JeffreyBeckerPhotographs]

Great video, Stryker. Hope you had a wonderful time away with family!!!! Welcome back!

[@StrykerBreaks]

Thanks 👍

[@Infinitytrades]

Great content and you’re right on the pros and cons. Ripping wax is so much fun and there’s opportunity to hit big. I feel like you gotta buy a lot of wax to get odds in favor for you to hit big cards hence opening two cases. I think if you’re buying 1 hobby box just buy the card you want but 2 cases that can get real interesting of course gotta have the capital

[@jf7513]

thank you so much for making this man. I have 2k invested and now i actually have a plan to sell the cards!

[@2004range]

@Stryker Breaks Awsome videos man. keep them coming. Question for you. What do you do with all the base cards?

[@Nothingface2011]

The lowest price is the best offer you send that is accepted. Don't be afraid to make an offer because sellers want to sell.

[@claywinn32]

Ripping is great when it's strategic, like with this Heritage product. The price for hobbies has dropped to a very good price, there's 2 top tier rookies to chase, a decent amount of 2nd tier rookies,the upside vs. price is huge with the Real Ones and the numbered parallels, smallish set so you get quite a few of the top rookies in a case to potentially grade.

[@johnnyrotten9987]

Let's go!!!!

[@ThisTheBreaks]

That Bobby real one and julio silver. Damnnn

[@Infinitytrades]

What do you think is the best baseball hobby box to rip for ROI? I’m hearing Topps chrome is the best but it’s pretty great the return Stryker got on ripping heritage. I’m thinking of buying a case what do you guys suggest?

[@rodriguezchen]

i'm kind of new, why does Stryker always have funny face when seeing Yusei Kikuchi's cards?

[@StrykerBreaks]

A long running joke. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKO2Z3Wop5h4mck

[@scottparrish2422]

Obviously you’d just have to move to Belize and continue ripping packs if there are going to be family issues or interference

[@nunzi83]

Hey. Think your overvaluing the B tier autos and variations. Unfortunately there not worth anywhere near what they should be worth. Either way. You did very well on the cases you ripped. Throwback variations are the most valuable/desirable cards from heritage. Very tough to pull tho

[@leonardtabone8670]

What are your thoughts about selling base rookies(raw) in lots. I typically put 3 or 5 base cards in a lot to maximize my time. I hate shipping singles under $5

[@2004range]

What do you all do with all the base cards?

[@jasonalloyd]

You must have a really great grading deal at PSA if it only costs you $160 to grade all those cards. For the average person it's like $20 per card which makes it not very smart to send in a card that's only worth $30 as a PSA 10, if it doesnt come back a 10 you're losing money.

[@StrykerBreaks]

I was saying that the 8 best to grade at $20 to grade would be $160. Sorry if it was confusing. It's tough to figure out what everything is worth and what's worth sending off so I was just trying to estimate some things.

[@kyleyellowbird354]

The next "Mr. Baseball" long term?

[@JACKSO_theMAN]

Stryker what platform do you break on or how do I get into a break?

[@StrykerBreaks]

@@StrykerBreaks thanks

[@jg-pl7jz]

Con: You open the first pack of your box or case, and you realize the Quality Control sucks!! Who's been there before?!?!

[@krishdasgupta7313]

I don’t think you can just assume a PSA 10. Have to keep the price comp on raw

[@ProxKill3rGT]

Did you happen to see my X post that I tagged you in? I had a weird experience opening fanatics boxes and wanted your input!

[@StrykerBreaks]

Just checked it out. Looks like you happened to get a similar Aqua collation. That's a bummer. I had that happen in Series 1 with duplicate aquas.

[@ProxKill3rGT]

@@StrykerBreaksThanks for the response. Total bummer I was so stoked for my first fanatics boxes. Been having crazy good luck with the 23 chrome platinums though 👌

[@BaseballCardBrothers]

🎉

[@brantleyhunt8736]

If I could afford it I’d rip the case all day

[@BreckenKosidowski]

Hiiii

[@user-xv4tg5ou1z]

Hi Stryker can you make a stream Tom and good evening

[@Jackson-dv9ft]

Here early!

[@IamFlowsie]

There’s no fun in buying singles…
