I’d tried to think of the junkiest of the Junk Wax Era, and that’s what came up.

I've been watching for almost a year now, after dabbling back into the hobby after many years. Love your channel, and the content, so today I became Slammer and look foward to getting into some breaks. Thanks for dragging me back in to hobby that I had forgotten how much i loved.

The thing that surprised me the most is they didn't include the in season rookies considering this was produced so late. Take the ten top in season rookies and make them 201-210 and short prints. I bought a box assuming there would be Julio rookies, I'm sure I wasn't the only one.

Topps Chrome Sonic: At least include gum.

LOL I like that

Feels like the biggest problem with this is the checklist. Without the update rookies, there's just not many possible hits. Like, I'll be honest: I like the Sonic parallels a LOT. The cards are gorgeous. I've absolutely gone on ebay and bought some low-tier singles just to see them in person. But the checklist isn't there to make the chase particularly compelling. Put another way: I'd rather open this than a couple of 2022 Chrome blasters. However, I'm simply not interested in opening 2022 Chrome anymore. That ship sailed a couple of new releases down the line and the release became downright irrelevant with 2022 Chrome Update. Sonic does nothing to interest me in returning to the non-update Chrome.

Missed a Goldy around 12:00, and the 5th or 6th box as well. It was on top.

I am surprised. I saw one box of this ripped and said "this is just a cash grab". I was surprised when I heard Stryker was going to rip a case. Usually Stryker is pretty savvy but this was a bad idea! THANKS for the entertainment Stryker!😎👍✌️

Thanks for diving on this grenade for us Stryker this product was pretty brutal

My case had a Julio 222. No complaints here. Centered.

Topps Chrome Sonic: She’s a little thick on top.

To be honest, I wouldn't dive into this product due to the fact that this product has a double Whammy against it 1. taking the base product from your standard Chrome and adding "after thought" variations and 2. the OC is definitely in need of help!

Best thing about sonic is the big rookie logos.

I was going to point out a Goldie credit card but some other commenters already have. So I'll just say, I really like your channel. I think this product is kinda stupid bc I've already spent way too much on chrome, I can't justify buying basically more of the same stuff trying to hit on those long odds. Your channel is awesome because it confirms what I already thought to be true. I also really like your price per card breakdowns for flagship.

Nice vid. I pulled an Image Variation SSP out of '23 Bowman Mega and was Jackson Holliday (wish it was Elly). Not bad for a $45 box at Barnes & Noble, and because I'm an addict , my Barnes & Noble membership gave me $5 off due to so many purchase points.

Topps Chrome Sonic Shenanigans

I bought one box at lcs in kentucky, against my gut because I knew pulls were tough, against all odds I pulled a triple auto, Mike Schmidt, wade boggs and Adrian Beltre, 07/20, I was shocked. But it's still a very tough product. Thanks Stryker.

I bought a few of these. I like Topps Chrome so I was ok with it. Best hits were Julio Youthquake, Cruz raywave and Wander silver. A few of my Sonics were just ok, nothing major, but the kicker was seeing how you only get A CHANCE at a Sonic parallel. That's crazy and should have been 1-3 per box. Otherwise, this is a glamorized Chrome mega box.

Your traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a mononous land whose boundaries are barren . Thats the signpost up ahead-your next stop, the Topps Sonic Zone!

Appreciate you doing this kind of videos. My first case was worst than this. Only decent hit was a non-numbered Expose Tork and $200 worth of buyback.

Nice hit!

You missed a Few Goldie’s earlier on in the video, But I couldn’t agree more. I bought (5) boxes locally, The best card I hit was a Baz Prism. Bought another (5) from a buddy out of state, best hit was a horribly centered Torkleson YouthQuake. My reaction and feelings towards Sonic was the same as yours. I got to the point where I didn’t sort them at all. Out of (10) boxes, You should atleast hit something that pays for (1) box. The only positive was 3 credit cards. However, I do appreciate this video because if nothing else, You confirmed my beliefs and hopefully save many others from the pain we both just went thru. Thanks for all that you do buddy!!

I ripped a case and felt like you for about 10 boxes. And then I hit a Julio case hit Exposé. And then a dual auto Trout/Ohtani. And then an MJ Melendez Youthquake red /5. But I know I’m the exception and your case is more the norm. As for title? “2022 Topps Sonic: Bend Over, Stryker!”

I bought a box of sonic and I'm convinced its the left overs from the chrome and update .. i would have recommended against it. Even at the price.

I love me some Joey Votto for my PC!!

Hopefully the tops chrone lite in 2023 is way better. It should be because of adley, gunnar, harris, hopefully corbin carroll and others

Update on my box. No credit cards but I did get a Wander Prizm refractor a Connor Wong sonic to 199 and a Kyle Tucker red wave to 5.

Maybe I just got lucky on my 4 boxes. I pulled 1-2 CC per box & was very easy to make a positive ROI. Crappy part is not guaranteed to pull a Sonic refractor in every box.

FINALLY THIS LOOKS LIKE ALL THE DIFFERENT 2022 BOXES I BOUGHT!!! WASTED MONEY BUYING SLEEVES!!! TOO BAD.I DONT RIDE A BIKE THEY WOULD MAKE GREAT SPOKE FLAPPERS!!! I BOUGHT PACKS BACK IN THE EARLY 50's JUST FOR THAT REASON!!! (COULDN'T AFFORD PLAYING CARDS)....

“Can we have more print lines please?” 😂 epic

Bought two 2022 chrome blaster boxes and pulled Goldschmidt green and magenta parallels and a Judge base. Should I send them in or keep them. The magenta can pull a gem 10. Thoughts anyone????? The green is #86 of 199 and slightly OC as basically most from this set is.

Do you think the numbered Judges that look ideal for grading would be worth sending in due to the fact that most will be redeemed? Granted after the program ends, the cards value is likely to drop. I say Judge over Goldie since he holds more value and it was his big HR season.
