Jabs: Albert Pujol's final ever Topps card. Topps: We're going print him so much you're gonna think he never left.

I love seeing the 88 Design, I have so many of these cards at home. I was about 7 years old at the time and my grandpa always bought them for me. I'm going to have to load up on the 1988 cards now, thanks for opening Jabs!

With the odds of the blaster being 1:99 for a gold you would have to buy 14 boxes at $25 and that would be roughly $350 just to pull one gold. If you bought two Jumbo's at 170 it would cost you $340 and you'd most likely pull 4 golds. Obviously I didn't include taxes but for $10 less you're likely to get three more golds. Plus you have better odds on every other hit as well. Do not waste your money on retail 😜

My favorite rookie this year is Oscar Gonzalez. I became a big fan of his during 2020. I bought a ton of his 1st bowman cards and pulled his gold auto in a group break. Hope he has an awesome year.

I LOVE the 1988 Topps design. Those were the first card I ever bought as a kid, and it's very fun to see them.

Hobby Jumbos are actually up on Topps site right now for 149 I just snagged one

Love the videos can’t wait to open 2023 for myself and i love the design

Only Juan Soto could put up a 149 OPS+, lead the league in walks, and still have people saying he needs to bounce back next year lol.

Will Smiths OPS + in his first four years is third best all time for catchers with 800 PAs and 40% games played at the position. only Piazza and Posey better. Clueless collectors probably think he sucks bc he hit .260

Just opened a blaster last night from target and love the look

I think this fits the fanatics mold of promoting hobby shops. Making the hobby products more desirable than the retail products. I think it’s a big W

I got a hobby box a couple of days ago on a presell from Dave and Adam's. I love the design and the All Aces insert is genius. That said, this box I broke may have been the worst box I've ever broken. I'm not concerned with the hit but there aren't many inserts in a hobby box any more and the one card I wanted was one of the only cards I didn't get. No JRod=bad box. Guess I go back to Jumbos.

Topps did sell jumbo boxes on their website actually, its sold out of course haha.

Hey Jabs! I got my first jumbo box and the amount of hits in it were insane!! The price at my LCS was $175. This is what I got.......

I bought 1 jumbo on release day and managed to acquire the whole set.

that city connect patch was beautiful imo

So I’m relatively new to the hobby again, still in my first year since I collected in the late 80’s early 90’s, PRIME junk wax era, and I’ve gotta say that you are the BEST baseball guy on KZread to watch. You are ALWAYS enthusiastic and upbeat. You are encouraging and completely honest to a fault about the value and quality of the product, and when it comes to baseball there is no place I’d rather go to first for the details and reviews of baseball cards than you. Thank you for your hard work and what you do. You’ve helped to guide me and I appreciate it. I wish you all the success in the world good sir.

I concur. I got out of the hobby in 1992 and am now getting back into it so this channel helps me out a lot.

I'm gonna have to grab a jumbo box before the price gets crazy. Thanks for the video, it really helped me make my decision on which box to get.

I'm already hyped up for the update series.... 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 Crazy, plus I wanna pull a wooden card. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽⤴️

Love that Jordan lyles numbered card

Last jumbos I bought were 2020 and I feel like it had more parallels and numbered

Don’t forget about Oscar Gonzalez he had a really nice season last year for CLE looking forward to seeing what else he can produce this year

I love your videos and I am a collector 😊

Hi Erik, these are some really nice looking cards. I agree that the Jumbo's are the way to go. Thanks for the break.

I would go for the jumbo cause of more hits

One observation - The centering on the cards seem to be fairly good.

Just got three boxes for 18.67$!!!

Love to see that topps is utilizing their partnership with MLB The Show on the “Welcome to the Club” cards. MLBTS implemented these into their game last year. Great stuff, can’t wait for my jumbos to come in!

31:05 this man called Ronald Acuna Jr’s 40/40 season before the season even started🤯

Speaking on orange foils, I pulled a j rod rookie orange foil a few nights ago!

Thanks for the information on the new product I'll give this a rating of A can't wait to rip some

i pulled 29 damaged cards from the print rollers, 2 lines running length of the cards, 2 wanders damaged, got those in a jumbo. nice design. paid 150 jumbo 80 hobby

Thinking of getting two cases of jumbo

I learned my lesson with spending hundreds on Topps update retail this past year. I’m never gonna buy retail again. Unless I just see one out it the wild then I will, but no more chasing for me with retail.

"Final ever Topps card" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

They have jumbo boxes on Topps site this year

Hayes reminds me of Hayward and McCutchen. He will likely be known as a great defender with a couple good offensive seasons and given what I know about his temperament, he will, again like Heyward and McChuchen, be a team leader in the clubhouse. All great dudes who just didn’t have all the talent in the world on both sides of the diamond. Great players who will be well short of the hall barring some sort of crazy hardware (e.g., WS MVP, Gold/Platinum gloves, etc.).

I love the ace cards this year

Odds look way better on this than the retail

I pre ordered a hobby box but wish I would’ve went with jumbo. I noticed blowout either sold out or pulled them off their site. I’m assuming the latter and when prices normalize in few days they’ll pop back up. And I absolutely love 2023 design, probably my favorite since 2018

Just picked up four of these boxes from topps for 150 a piece as an investment.

The return on investment for topps boxes just don’t seem like it’s there anymore. So over priced. Thank you for your videos.

Give Rocco’s rocking cards a shout out

I got a walker buehler dual patch on card auto out of 10 in a hobby box for my birthday the other day 😊

That Silver Pack Bo Jackson is Pretty Close but not the Same Picture.

I give the design an A- just because of the print run. ⤴️⤴️⤴️

Hi jabs love to see your vids

Oh wow I did not know that one player from each position gets a rookie cup

Just pulled a home town advantage acuna Jr. While watching your video. As a braves fan in Atlanta I'm ecstatic.

They finally did what they should have done before paying more should result in better odds, retail is still fun and cool though

Holy shit never seen anything but a relic out of hobby

He said every year the size of the font gets smaller 😆, I think your eyes are just gettin a lil worse every year ol' timer 🤣 🤣! Just messin with ya, loved the video as always! God bless u & your loved ones & the entire Jabs family!

I ripped so much 1987 and 1988 Topps I was able to sell 800-count boxes of each card.

I gotta say I'm happy that even though he was traded Gabby Moreno's rookie card is still with the Blue Jays

I noticed that Aaron Judge's card number is 62. That was how many home runs he hit to pass Rodger Maris.

I'll take that Jose Altuve you tossed aside at the 16:55 mark. Go Stros!!! World 🏆

I love this set and I might buy one of these jumbo boxes. The best pull I got from 2 blaster boxes I got at a show was a vintage stock card. Nothing special since I had never even heard of the guy. Neverless, I love how they put one team relic card in every blaster box, when I first opened a blaster box I didn’t look at the back and I thought it was something special. 😂

Topps had Jumbo boxes and sold out fast

Looks like hobby is the way to go in 2023.... At least based on the odds....

To pull a gold out of a blaster it's 1:99 out of jumbo it's 1:4 retail is definitely out of the question this year I bought six blasts before knowing any of the odds.

The box toppers are 1988 Mimi leaders not 1986. Both had the same design on the front(probably not a lot of thought/design put into a set aimed at kids) and backs but the 86 had pink backs whereas the 88 had blue backs. As the Vlad has a blue back and the 1988 design is this year’s feature throwback I believe the intention was a 1988 league leaders design.

Blasters should go back to $20

Vinny P will be a top 5 rookie in this product very soon.

Jabs lives in the future. I'm still trying to find chrome update.

Check the back of your 88 cards. They have parallels printed on the 88 card stock numbered to 88 and they don't put them upside down, the first pack in the first blaster box I opened had an 88topps Trout, when I was checking it out I saw it was numbered to 88

First comment what up jabs. I opened up two blasters last night the odds a horrendous. I still have four more to open!

Imagine having that much money to buy nearly 50 cases is insane lol

The joe musgrove was a case hit

I have a box sitting on my lap at work today I just bought it . Hella a hobby. Worse then dope

40/40..... Check Bobby Bonds stats back in the day, twice or so he was a either 2 away on HR's or SB's. Back then player were for the team and the win and not for the personal accolades. I'm sure if were important he would have achieved it.

You got to look on the back of every single card to see if you got an SSP

I'm gonna be pretty critical on these options. Jumbo of course seems the best odds for hits but to me it just seems like a bunch of filler. If the Jumbos go up in price it's really not gonna be worth the money. Hobby looks the same as retail. Sure you get better odds but I just don't see it.

I ordered my jumbo and hobby box a month ago from steel city, and they haven’t arrived yet…..who did you order from I’ll go with your guy next time?

I think people are overlooking Miguel Vargas

They are selling jumbo on topps.
