I accidentally got Topps Sterling confused with Bowman Sterling at the end. Topps Sterling is a great set. I would move it to B or B+ if I were to re-due the video and it is a very hit heavy product with a focus on only two cards per box. Sorry for that!

5:20 I think you meant 2020 topps stadium club Chrome for the soto shuffle card. unless there is one in 2021 I'm not aware of.

Great video! Just got back into collecting and this was incredibly helpful

Thank u

Let's lose 60% of these.

I love your channel, I’ve learned so much about baseball and not just baseball cards since I’ve been subscribed.

That Japan moo kid card has a pack crease on the top and bottom lol

My personal favorites are topps chrome black as well as just a standard flag ship and chrome, I enjoy finest and bowmans best as well

Awesome topic and video, thank you for sharing your thoughts!!

Another great breakdown! I love the take on heritage! It is spot on! So difficult to pull something good!

Stadium Club Chrome is the one hobby box I am willing to buy and open consistently the photography sets it apart and the lower print runs makes for reasonable value retention.

its awesome if i had any luck ripping packs i would buy a hobby ha ill get every pitcher base card in the league if i buy a hobby

Love to enjoy your clip as always. I mostly collect Ohtani’s gold base parallels year to year. But it’s too many to collect. Recently I focus on 2021 topps chrome platinum anniversary, which I think is memorable for long time :)

Hey awesome video, an updated version would be amazing.

Love the breakdown. I agree with 95% of it.

R we Turing into the early 90s again 😢

Interesting video I enjoyed watching your video thank you I look forward to watching more to see if the data adds up in the future of card collecting

Thanks Scottie

This was a very thorough analysis. A few comments....I did not realize that Topps produced this many sets; they could honestly get rid of 20 or so sets to make collecting the others more managable. Alos, I would think that some of the players are getting bothered with signing so mnay autographs for so many sets, espeically the retired players. If they chose maybe 15 sets to put the autos in, this would enhance the fun of getting autos....Great job on going through all of these Scottie, and thanks for the great content.

yes, I'd like to see half these sets cancelled... but i doubt that'll happen this year. Way too much clutter.

This is a good video for me. I’ve only been back into the Hobby for a couple of years after being absent from it since about 1998. I don’t have a ton of knowledge on all of these sets and didn’t know most of them existed

This is a good channel to subscribe to. Always well thought out. Hobby changes fast. Few years ago you could buy a box and make quick money. That mostly has dropped as the box price quickly went up. People pay outrageous prices for prospects then the prices drop once the hype dies.

Where did your video go about Topps chrome update 2021??

1. Too many sets. 2. Other than the major sets, I love topps archives. Most fun set, really enjoy going through various designs from different years!

Holly crap, SO MANY sets...🤯🤯🤯

Gypsy Queen is my favorite set every year, affordable hobby boxes, nice vintage design, on card autos, allot of parallels and solid stock cardboard.

Great vid. Agree with your rankings. But I still like regular old Stadium Club more than SC Chrome. There’s something about the feel of regular SC that takes me back to opening SC in the early 90s. It will always be my nostalgic favorite.

I know what you mean I agree with you.

I disagree on the gap between stadium club and stadium club chrome. I get the appeal of wanting those cards as chrome but the glossy stock of regular stadium club elevates the photography in my opinion

Great review in the future would love a further break down video of favorite sets in tiers based on cost. A-f rankings of product over 1k a box. A-f of mid tier ect…

Great summary. Didn’t realize they had that many sets! Interesting if Fanatics will cut the # down. My favorites are Stadium Chrome, Bowman Sterling and Topps Chrome. Also like the ‘old looking’ throwback sets.

Stadium Club Chrome, one of the most underrated sets! Photography is outstanding with plenty of inserts and autos. One of my favs.

I love Brooklyn collection for all the reasons mentioned. The only other theme from this that I disagreed with was sticker autos. If the predominant auto is a sticker, I think the ceiling is B+ (with Triple Threads probably being the sole one there). It was really interesting to see all the products out there though. Great job rolling through that.

Personally, anything after 1999 became a money grab. I used to put sets together whether it be Topps, Bowman, UD, Fleer or Donruss. Once the clock ticked 2000, suddenly sets were almost impossible to put together because of SP auto RC's that were considered part of the set. I tried eeking it out, but by '02 there was no chance for set completion unless you had hundreds or thousands of dollars to throw in.

Solid list! Stadium Club Chrome at A- is a W

I think you said sterling wasn't high end. But it was $1000 / box this past year. Great video. Hope you are settling in to your new state and home.

when i seen your notification i thought for sure you were gonna talk about Tatis suspension, could be a good time to buy him he's only 23 and his injuries will heal wit a year off he'll be 100% next year!

Great video. Any chance of sharing the spreadsheet?

TLDW: Top tier, bowman and topps flagship and flagship chrome, all others, mostly trashbags unless you want high end relics and autographs.

Fun video!

Agreed. MOST of these products should be discontinued. Quality over quantity… that’s my motto.

They are trying to find a way to print junk wax era levels of product without collapsing the whole market if participation falls. Producing a billion different sets is the only way to insure that if the hobby falls back to pre 2019 levels, something like that J Rod everybody is looking for rn wasn't printed 50 cards per hobby participant. (assuming he turns out to be a HOF level player. Just an example.) Anybody who doesn't think that's what is going on is in denial.

And I'm not standing up for that. I vote with my dollars and only buy Bowman products containing "1st Bowman" cards, except the "1st edition" product, as I think that is stupid... "I've got a 1st edition 1st Bowman"... Sounds ridiculous to me.

@@TheRealWarez Good point with the “1st edition 1st Bowman”. Seems redundant. What does that even mean to have a first first of something? What’s next, first edition first Bowman prequel?

Topps gallery?

awesome vid scott! i agree wit most especially bowman best n stadium chrome great sets, You didnt mention my 2 favorite sets!! ha Toppstotal great parallels very shortprinted making cards values very good wit auto's, photo variations and parallels Also Tbt another short printed set with great variations, way too many sets im buying less modern because of this

We always have a ton of Topps Gallery retail at our local store. Is it ever worth picking up?

I actually think Allen and Ginter base set is still really fun. You can get some nice hits still even though the chrome set is better

bowman chrome 2021 will be a legendary set

Wish you had S tier for things like topps chrome

So. Much. Product.

What about topps project 100 set, are they worth buying ? I’ve been purchasing the rookies

What do you think of the Prizm HIGHSCHOOL cards???

Iam a set builder Topps 1.2.update & all subset no auto bowman & chrome, bowman sterling & best & Topps finest

My favorite is topps dynasty and Topps sapphire

Disagree on the Opening Day rating. You can put a simple master set together in a couple cheap hobby boxes and possibly pull one of the various SP inserts that are really supremely underrated (like Dugout Peeks, of which there are likely no more than 100 copies per card). There are so many quirky SP inserts in this product, it mirrors mid-to-late 90s style of product with either common inserts or SSP stuff with barely any parallels (one common parallel and one 1/1). The drawbacks are that it is so cheaply produced and printed (no foil and printing issues are more common)

I do that to sometimes 😛

nice breakdown. Just think, you didn't even cover any of the Panini products. They don't make rookie cards like they used to I guess. Too many choices now.

is the cards attic still open?

YO CHILL TF OUT TOPPS

Don't forget about all the other "X" products that also came out, like Topps X Micky Mantle Collection, Topps Allen & Ginter X, Topps X Derek Jeter Captain's Crew and so forth... Lol so many. Nice reviews, but clearly way, _waaaay_ too much product to have come out. And that's not even counting the 'Living' sets like Topps Living and Topps Project 70. If both Topps and Panini can limit their products to no more than maybe twelve different products a year per sport that would be truly great. But unfortunately I can't see that ever happening with the way things are currently going.

Bowman’s Best ❤️

Hi way to many As definitely disagree with topps series one and two the print run is so high in the future it will be junk wax like 80s and 90s I am a new subscriber and love the shows great info and great to watch keep them coming. Take care

I have to disagree with sapphire. Sure they are high value now but they won't be years from now imo. Once they gave basically all of the chrome sets a sapphire edition it ruined it. Completely washed out

Let’s go

🔥🔥💪🏼

I get so sick of people complaining about "too many 1/1s".... You would much rather have one of those than any other card, don't be ridiculous! And it's funny how with certain sets, having a lot of them is a good thing and then with certain sets, having a lot of them is a bad thing... So which is it??

SO MANY PRODUCTS! So much greed. Kind of wish one of the company's would only make one set. Charge appropriately and make a big checklist.

What about topps high tek

@@scottiebcards2354 what did you think of it? I have a super fractor auto of it.

Just proves way too many sets overall. I'd say the two main staples to me are still Bowman and Topps Chrome. I won't spend high dollar on prospects however so blasters are still the way to go because they provide value. The Tatis news unfortunately hurts the 2019 product but still have Austin Riley having an MVP type year overall.

Great video. You don’t really realize how many different crap sets there are. There should only be like 10 sets out there each year instead of 100 sets. Way to watered down these days. A 1/1 card is cool but not worth much these days anymore

Uhg...I'm just too old to keep up. Whatever happened to the phrase, 'less is more'? Feels like it should apply related to the many, many, way too many sets that Scottie just ranked out for us.

I will and forever rank topps as number 1 but my LEAST favorites will always be score, 90 donruss, 88 and 90 fleer just some awful junk wax that haunts my memories and eyes

Wow, there are a ton of sets... And this is only Topps stuff. Yeesh.

Platinum is a F- ... even if you hit anything it's probably damaged.

This is the modern way to make print runs and availability seem scarcer. Not a fan.

#TeamTripleThreads!

Your channel is good.But man to many sets these days.Now days people is just in for it for the money these days.Not how i was growing up back in 70's and 80's collecting Baseball cards for fun back then you just had Topps back then

Oh my god, talking about equality when it comes to classes in baseball cards.. that's how you know the PC thing is gone way too far

I havent heard of 60% of this stuff..... its really getting watered down all this crap.... just an obtuse money grab.

Jesus christ, are they really trying to pump out even MORE versions of Topps Chrome? Every time they print a different version... Sapphire, Platinum, Ben Baller, whatever crazyness he said...galaxy?.. it knocks down the value of the base Topps Chrome for everything except the most high end cards out of that product. I don't understand how the people who buy all these non-retail releases aren't rallying together and boycotting this nonsense. I just dont get supporting this... You really think Topps Chrome rookie autos are the premier auto card? It seems to me like any rookie post 2017 it's all about the 1st Bowman Chrome auto. Genuine question, as I'm not deep into the baseball market, but I have followed it for years. Thanks for the content!

That's just wayyyyy too many products
