Why did Topps make a "hobby" box of this when it's the same exact odds as the retail mega box? The Mega box is $5 per pack at $50 a box, so paying anything more than $120 for this 24 pack "hobby" box is not worth it. Thanks for sharing

@@kaicampbell3 lol the odds on the packs don't lie. Check out the odds of a mega box pack from my video and compare it to the pack odds from Jabs hobby box. Identical

Trash boxes do not buy save your money buy a card you like already graded if you want to get lucky go to the casino

I always try and get here first but everyone else must have tera-speed internet. Great rip as always Jabs, thanks for sharing.

Thank you Jabs! Great content to post so we can all see what’s going on with the products. I’m definitely a big Twins fan and so far the free agency moves haven’t made me happy at all lol.

Rough. Do believe you missed a numbered refractor

Looks like I may try a couple hangers and that will be it for this product. Thanks for the video

10:34 Jose Trivino refractor numbered to /299, so two of the boxes had numbered cards. Base refractors (not the insert refractors like the ASG and Generation Now inserts) are always numbered in Chrome Update. They used to be numbered out of /250, but they upped the print run a little on those now.

These seem like retail boxes more than hobby they could have at least switched up the color of the parallels how many purple cards do we need

hoping they put Druw Jones in regular Bowman for us peasants lol. Mets luxury tax total is more than 11 mlb teams ENTIRE 26 man payroll. Dbacks, Os, Reds, Indi- Guardians, Royals, Marlins, As, Pirates, Rays, Nats. Which is crazy, because they each get $100Mil /yr just from tv deals. Be nice if some owners spent money.

Thanks Jabbs for saving me $200+ today! Lol

Giants got out of that deal because they know he’s not worth it LOL.

How do card collectors keep up with all the different kinds of products they push out ?

wow it’s literally just 24 mega box packs in a “hobby box”😂 nice money grab topps

Ouch. Subtitle: How to turn $120 into $30 worth of cards.

was thinking of getting a hobby box had to check out your video first

Just got my box of this, couldn’t resist

Update (base and chrome) will be remembered for years and years to come. I can't imagine how many people these young rookies have introduced to the hobby 🎄🎅 thanks for sharing as always!

Hi Erik, great video. The Chrome cards are sharp and it's a good rookie class.

Nothing I love more than Chrome cards! The finish on them is amazing…. No guaranteed auto is the bad part… sketchy… another great video Erik…Jabs channel is the place to be everybody! Subscribe. 🥇🏆

Love that jrod base rookie card

Love all your videos and livestreams

Thanks

So I am just getting back into the hobby after about 25 years away, I keep hearing you guys specifically mentioning sticker auto vs on-card auto, how does that affect the price and how does the hobby view the difference?

@testit1902

Жыл бұрын

All that matters is how you view it. I think stickers are lame and ugly and are usually in cheaper sets. I personally would not buy a sticker auto, but don't mind hitting them in a pack. I would go out of my way to buy sets that have on card autos vs stickers.

Just a heads up. The 2nd overall pick in the draft is always left out of bowman draft and put into following years Bowman.

These are on sale for $60 bucks right now....alot easier to buy at that price point

On point Jabs!💪🏾

Time for '22 Update Silver packs 😂

They should have just stocked these at Walmart. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for great content

I wanna be just like you dude ❤❤

As a Mets fan I'm both in awe and shocked. I always thought the Yankees and Red Sox were the big spenders. Wow just wow!!

Damn happened to the good ol days of a gaurantee auto in every hobby box?

Love that Donovan auto!

LOL @ Hobby Box. This should be called a 24 pack retail box.

are these better shape than off center blasters?

Best return on investment every year is Bowman Draft. I agree with you. At $400 a box it’s not for everybody but those of us that can afford it it’s the best bang for your buck!

This has all the good rookies so that itself makes it worth it. Most of the time you get 2 autographs of players that wash out... ... oh ya I almost forgot I pulled a Aaron Judge All-Star autograph redemption card. Also in store pickup at Dave and Adams there $99 per hobby box. I can imagine that price won't last long.

Agreed on retail feel

Always skeptical of Chrome. They are pretty to look at, but not much for relics a/o autos, esp w/ the traded sets.

Those all star refractors might be numbered. I pulled an all star refractor in 2019 and for some reason it’s numbered.

Merry Christmas . can you put the card numbers on here for the good ones . pick up 2 Topps 2022 Chrome . just getting back in to card collecting again

The Pirates don't even spend what they get from the national tv contract. The Pirates owners hate baseball and hate the city of Pittsburgh.

Love this release!

You missed a numbered refractor of Jose Trevino in box 2

Whom this is interesting! Why did they make these hobby boxes

Love the Stream EJ!!!

I didn't see Druw Jones on the bowman draft checklist.

@ Jabs Family may be the " friday night card fights" ?!?!?!?!?

Not terrible but also, not great! I think C is solid grading

Chrome Update appears to be underwhelming at first glance...until some of the rookies make the Bigs and actually perform well. Then everything changes, with an increase in value and demand for their cards. Expected to see more numbered cards and at least one auto per box. Happy Holidays everyone!

That giveaway is great!

Awesome

Keep it up Jabs! Mike Pittsburgh Pirate

SWEET RIP MR JABS 👍

Topps chrome took a dump and it became Topps Chrome Update. What are we doing Topps

Nice cards but I agree C minus, enjoyed the video!

I bought 2 hobby boxes and pulled a Pena green /75

I wonder what happened with the chrome releases? It went down hill quick...thanks again sir! 🙏

Just FYI, the odds on the Hobby and target mega boxes are the exact same. I pulled the Cruz super rookie update from a target box.

I rate this product a solid D-. How can a hobby box have zero parallels? My advice: Buy a Bowman Chrome Lite box for about the same price and get 3-4 numbered cards and 5 B&W mini. diamond parallels, as well.

Rough

Looks like you missed a Jose Trevino refractor in the second box, fyi

Why is the Mets Payroll sickening? Shared revenue helps all Ships Rise

Was that trvino numbered?

Erik, you still thinking about taking my mystery pack series for after Christmas? Tim from super chat.

Very interested in winning the Xmas giveaway items. Thanks and merry xmas

Woooo

I can't wait to shohei's free agency bidding war. I'm calling $50,000,000 a season

When watching these I tend to keep a running tab of what I would pay for cards I actually liked. Honestly, if I bought one of these for anything more than $50 I would feel like I got ripped off.

Where's druw Jones and still waiting for Al Leiters "jack" 1st bowman too any idea what's up with him?

C- is generous. I give it a D for a "hobby" product. I'd give it a C if it was retail.

Hopeful

love the rips, would really love to win any give aways you have maybe ill get lucky for the Christmas giveaway

This is going to be Shocking to some Collectors, Why is there still MORE HYPE on J-ROD and not WAY MORE VALUE put J-PENA chasers. The player proved his STARDOM in the playoffs for sure not only the NLCS MVP then he backed it with THE WS MVP!!! for keeping missing the boat and I'll buy all Jeremy Pena RC's for my PC and Profit!

Anyone have an idea of how much this 1 of 1 Brendan Donavon out of Topps holiday is worth it's a one of One and it's the gold snow flake auto

How do you pull #’d cards lol

Go Mets!!!

Yep, another cash grab by Topps. For the first time in a while I walked into my Target and found cards. They had Chrome Update and Stadium Club. It's a tough pill to swallow paying $50 for Topps Chrome when it's really only worth $20-25 so I only bought one (ahh...take me back to 2018!). Hit an auto in that box (Josh Winder RC Auto...yay another Pitcher). Also picked up 4 Stadium Club and didn't get anything notable (aside from JRod Red Foil RC) but it will round out the set I am building so that's cool. This "hobby" box is a sham. It's the EXACT same packs you get in the standard update boxes. Hard pass on this one.

As a twins fan, this Correa saga is heartbreaking.

As someone that bought loads of his rookies for a medium amount of money,. It hurts. No one wants him in an Astros uni. And it sucks doubly considering how good of a player he is. And his rookies are just depressing these days 🫣

Bobby witt purple 20$

Cut to 4 months later and Correa batting .200 for the Twins.

Topps chrome has been a disaster with forgetting the top rookies and quality control problems. I've been buying bowman chrome and it's been pretty good.

Same pack odds as a mega box

Yeah mega boxes and "hobby" have the same odds. Without a AUTO GUARANTEED OR a RELIC even. So basically it's a numbered card or bust

In other words, save your $$$

very disappointing though the Donavan is really one of the better its you can get. can't believe they put zero effort to distinguish this from hobby.

For this price point there should be at least 1 auto per box. What makes this hobby if it has the same odds and purple parallels as retail? This is a flop to me I can see these sitting for a long period of time.
