Bowman season! Let's go!

The $300 price point isn't there imo. Jumbo's tho expensive seem like a better buy in hobby format. Blaster's look like the best bang for the buck from what I've seen. Thanks for the early rip as always!

Yeah, blasters lately for Bowman releases are the best

I honestly don’t get how people afford the hobby. It’s too expensive.

when you start pulling cards that are worth something you can sell them and put the money back into buying more. tends to be what i do. get a solid 30 dollar card sell it and buy some packs from my local shop

1 auto just seems lame for the price. Especially given how much paper is in there. These guys are signing a ton too. I'd like to see them not do HTAs and just add those autos to the box to justify the price.

It's the same way every year with Bowman. Singles drop heavily after the first 2 weeks so there is 0 chance to make a profit ripping boxes. Until breakers stop buying Bowman in bulk it will be waaaaay overpriced for the return on singles

There is one for 600$ for 3 autos

Love the videos, thanks for the preview. Just don’t see the value at $300. I’m an avid baseball card collector and really love bowman release day. 2 parallels and an auto out of a hobby….no way. The inserts aren’t doing it for me. I’d rather fanatics put in chrome #ed /799, 899, 999 over the inserts. Similar to what they did on Topps with the purple and blue foil board. Rather take my shot with blasters over hobby.

At first I thought you were saying cards numbered to 799,899,999 and for a split second I'm thinking, " I dunno, that's a high print run..." 😁😆😅🤦

Like most new releases, it should be half the cost.

Im here, to say, IMO, obviously 1 autograph, $300 a box, is ridicoulous! I look for these to drop $$ in price!!

“Worst case scenario, you get a couple chrome cards”…for $300 lol the floor on this is lower than a pregnant snake in a wheel rut

Worst case scenario in a pack. I was talking about how every pack feels like it’s got a Little something

Love this year’s design. Picked up a hobby for $260 so I feel like at that price point it’s good. Beckett website does tell you what comes in a hobby box and that’s why I pulled the trigger on it. Jumbo’s a little too expensive for me. Great video!!

The price point is "hot garbage". The price point for Bowman used to be similar to Topps.

That Mitchell numbered card saved the day for me ..bc if it had only been 1 numbered card and auto for 300 , esp when it seems like every 3rd blaster had that last few years ..all in all with the mini diamond and the 2 lunar glows it does seem like an enjoyable rip …my fav design was 2020 …so this leaves a little to be desired but I’m sure it will grow on me when I get to rip some ..thanks for sharing …you are my go to for brand new product ..keep killing it

They said he's ready to play in majors now but don't want to rush him and give him 2 full years in minors so expect him as the every day catcher at 19. He will be crazy good maybe better than any of the highly rated Bmore catchers

Thanks for the pre view Stryker. The inserts look cool.

Hate to chase an Astro, but we’re looking for Luis Baez 😅 good first box!

Thank you for the preview! Congrats on the hit

You definitely checked several boxes of what people are looking for! Good rip with lots of good stuff! Thanks for sharing!

Great video Stryker! I pulled a MASSIVE Dylan Crews from a $30 Walmart blaster!

For the Price I wish they put 2 Autos in a hobby box. Looks like the 2nd year in a row to get your value with the blasters. ROY Inserts look better than last year, but the Top100 looks awful to me. TY for the break Stryker

$300 is too high. Maybe 3 or 4 years a player will make it worth it, but buying singles initially is the way to go.

I invested in my first Bowman Hobby Jumbo yesterday so was just checking out your vids. Thanks for sharing!

Was it worth it?

Thanks for the preview, Stryker. Unfortunately the value’s just not there for this release. The box prices should be cut in half.

GG to thoses bank who pay $300 for a hobby of this. Inflation is a thing so 125 price point is probably not reasonable either. But this is a money burner for the ejd consumer if ive ever seen one.

The $300 bucks makes blaster boxes look like a good way to go. You are bound to get much more out of the 10 blasters you could buy for that money.

Thanks man. I'm just getting back into cards after about 30 years and your insights are extremely helpful.

I pulled a 2023 bowman platinum Alex Ramirez 1 of 1 the other day thinking that might be the first card i submit to PSA

Bowman’s the Best! Thanks for the video Stryker.

Opened 5 blasters today. No auto's. 3 Elly's. 4 numbered cards. The boxes with the numbered cards had one chrome prospect and one paper in each. Unfortunately no numbered 1st cards but one chrome to /50.

You always do a great job letting us know what you're looking for. Good for newbs like me. Good stuff.

That Nick Gonzalez rookie auto is freaking nice! You Rock Stryker!

$300 a box? Why?

@user-dv6dg5gu6d

Why...because fanatics sucks. When they said they want to 10x the hobby...they meant the price

love your videos and what u do man. always been a big fan. awesome to see u about to hit 100k! also hows the QC on bowman this year from what u can tell?

trench coat guy comes thru again! like the design, pretty bowman standard. will wait for retail just to help the wallet. great as always!

Got the shipping notification for my jumbo box last week and it still shows it hasn't been sent! Topps/fanatics drive me crazy with how slow they ship! 😂 That rising inferno is sweet btw!

Glad to see Topps left the print lines 🤣🤣 Shout-out to Kurt's Card Care 🤣🤣

I dont think i'll buy this for the price, literally nobody actually wants the paper. It just gets thrown in a box in the closet. So it's $300 for 1 auto and a few un-numbered parallels, no thanks.

Trying to chase Caminero

I love bowman but man from what I have seen I would rather go blasters imo. Thanks for the rip!

CONGRATS ON 100K BROTHER.

The youngest of the Churrio's will hold some collectabilty because of his name. For that reason he could be a way to recoup some of that Twins money you spent chasing Walker Jenkins

Go Nats, we’re on our way back to relevancy. I believe Crews is gonna be better than Harper.

Trying to scoop Yamamoto sad that Imanaga hasn't gotten a card yet. I'd take that over 14 different Jackson Holidays all day.

Noticed there weren’t many pitching prospects. High chance of getting a young position player auto is a good thing.

I refused to watch any bowman videos until now. My first look.👍🤘

In 5 years most of these guys will be common. Happens all the time. Check out trouts rookie year and the years after. All the hot rookies back then are commons now. Are people still holding on to Rusney Castillo cards?

Good luck on the chase!

They are charging double EV

Liked the rip and video, I like the look of these cards this year, but I don't think the $300 for a hobby is worth it for what you're getting in total. I will probably stick with the blasters and hangers I seem to do very well with those. You asked who're we looking for this year at the top of my list right now I a rookie who is very hot right now out of the Dodgers organization young Rookie by the name of Pages. Naturally always on the hunt for Elly rookies, there is a few others, but we'll let it go right there. Tell us how you're feeling about your Tigers and their HUGE start, do you think they can keep it up and stay at or near the top for the entire season? I think they're looking good and like what I've seen thus far, no matter what happens this year I think they're going be moving up and becoming a contender yes, no, maybe, sometimes, always, never? Dodgers just completed a sweep of the Braves and seem to be starting to hit their stride at the moment averaging like 6 to 7 runs a game. Pitching is a struggle, but Walker will be back starting Monday I believe they said, and Clayton is coming along very well with his rehab. What are your thoughts on the baseball season thus far? It's been interesting with a few surprises I'd say. You and your family have a good, safe and blessed upcoming week and try to stay dry; we'll be getting nothing but rain all week here in my neck of the woods LOL.

I’m supposed to be on vacation but I had to sneak away and watch a rip. Nice one!

I get the comment about how expensive this hobby is...thanks to this guy at least you can focus on some key players and get educated. Thanks man...

it “feels” fun….

go jumbo or go retail, regular hobbies blow

Since I’m stationed in Columbia where the firefly’s are the Kansa city team. Looking for a Blake Mitchell since I got a baseball signed by him.

Can ya link the houdini site you referenced please. Love the page!

Love the Nick Gonzales auto but I can't justify spending $300 for a hobby box of this

Aren't prospects red

That player is from rockies so mountain

I need the plug man! I gotta wait 2 weeks after release date for some damm blasters

It’s here yayy

Sweet rip but definitely overpriced

The only thing that will bring these ridiculous prices down is if their sales for hobby & jumbo drop off. I’ll rip some blasters & look for value elsewhere.

I’d be a buyer on the Luciano insert. Please let me know.

bowman hobby is basically the same as blasters if you bought 8 blasters its the same and the odds of pulling a auto from a blasters is basically the same

Price point makes it tough to open. It has to be a big $ auto to make any money. Sets dont sell. A lot of nickel and dime.

Sweet! Let’s get it !

Just ripping for fun and not chasing. There is only one decent Dodger 1st in the entire Bowman set (Besides the RC of Yamamoto).

Stryker if you can please donate to the no kill shelters for animals. Keep up the good work!

Walker Jenkins struck out on 3 pitches hasn't played since

I just think Bowman Hobby boxes are way too expensive for what you get. I mean I can get 10 blasters for that price and probably get more out of those. I get there is a guaranteed auto, but it's just not worth the cost IMO.

Bowman day! Best day of the year??

Oh yeah

Where can we join your breaks?

There are plenty of “light hitting” infielders who are still worth collecting, quit perpetuating that crap 🤷‍♂️

buying breaks or blaster boxes is the way to go until the jumbo boxes get cheaper

how you get it so soon?

Nice Stryker

base looks like topps gallery

Stryker why are these cards priced so high, cannot see the value in this particular product. Do you think they might come down in price?, or maybe they might add more autos in next years bowman. I have been collecting for a lot of years, but feels like some companies are pricing me out especially with shipping fees etc. 😢

Is Topps doing the buyback program again this year?

Cranks home runs and plays for the Yankees so basically Aaron Judge?

Will you be selling the parallel Blake Mitchell? Big royals fan here and would be interested!

Even selling early i dont think you get even half your value back. Definite pass

Enjoyed the rip Stryker.

Looks a little like gallery

cards look like they are from Big League

Of course I pull a paper Dylan Crews and it’s got a giant crease in the middle and all dinged up 🤦🏻‍♂️
