First time. Subbed. Like your style and it’s funny how you just fly through that Jumbo. I savor my rips. I’m back into collecting for first time in 20 years. Have been enjoying it. Looking forward to my first jumbo box.

Revisions: 2022 Update Silver Pack checklist was 75 cards, not 50. Total Silver Pack Mojos per player (2023 S1)is around 12,000, not 6,000.

Keep devaluing your cards Topps or Fanatics or whoever the hell is behind this FUBAR situation.

Treating this release differently than previous releases. I opened my 3 jumbo cases, but instead of stalking retail for the rest of the season im just going to buy single jumbo packs. 20-$25 dollar pack out of Jumbo will be way better than buying a $13 hanger or $25 blaster and I can continue to get my fix affordably until S2/Chrome season rolls around. Proud Patreon member and quiet supporter. Appreciate what you do.

​@StrykerBreaks I have a Riley Greene Red Rookie Relic numbered 3 out of 5 and a base image variation RC from the series 1 and 2 complete set. They had nothing else at Target. I tried looking em up but couldn't find anything about em. Do u know anything more or any advice on how to find out if their worth anything or not? Either way I like the channel

I'll never buy the set again. Only the 1 Relic card and 5 RC variations in the whole set. I.was really disappointed

Hey Stryker, great video as always! I have ripped 15 blasters in the name of science, and can honestly say there is no reason to buy them😂 they will definitely be sitting on the shelves until 2030.

I pulled a Vaughn Grissom 1 of 1 Black Printing plate Autograph from bowman Best 2023. It was my first time ever ripping open any sports product.

“Jumbos are the way to go everybody knows that by now” except for the noobs like myself lol. Subscribed.

I opened a jumbo also, and for set collectors I was able to get the complete set. I pulled the independence day of Show-time from my jumbo. I need to start sending cards grading this year. I have a few I would like to grade.

I picked up 6 blasters and 6 hangers yesterday. The blasters were terrible. Recieved a chrome Stars in 4 blasters. Zero numbered out of either. 2 auto’s from hangers and some rainbow foils and blue parallels. That’s it. 5 each of the top 6 or so rookies. Looks like the blasters have leftover jumbo/hobby cards in them with a foil sprinkled in. Pass on blasters. Maybe on hangers. Good luck everyone. Thanks for the breakdown!!!

Good info, thanks!

I understand the thought process behind "base cards are worthless", because to the person that is trying to only/mostly profit off of this, then that makes sense. You can't make money off of most base cards. However, not everyone collects for profit solely. I have all base cards from my teams (Mariners, Seahawks, Sonics when they existed lol) for every season. They are for me and I totally understand that they aren't worth much to anyone else, but they certainly hold value to me.

You may have heard but I just saw that the 2023 Topps Julio Autograph 1/1 was pulled from a jumbo box. Bummer it was a sticker auto but still a helluva pull

Thanks Stryker love your vids and how you breakdown the different boxes. This is extremely helpful!

Thank you for your time and effort to put this video together. Guys like you are great for the hobby.

Super useful information, thanks Stryker. If anything your spreadsheets just point out how pointless it is to rip packs unless you're set building. At $0.27 per card (hobby) or less in retail, ripping those products to build a set make a lot of sense and at least give you the (long) shot of hitting something super nice. If you're parallel hunting for your PC, I can't see why you'd pay $1,540 for the odds to hit a vintage stock parallel ( in Jumbo, for example) when you can easily buy a single off eBay of the top rookie Rutschman for $350 (currently listed). I mean I know it's common knowledge that singles are the way to go for value and you rarely make your money back on a box rip, but this spreadsheet just proves how true that is. So to your question in the video about why anyone would buy blasters, I guess you could say it's one of the cheaper way to set build (although buying the hangars are even better for that it seems). The numbers in your spreadsheet compared to singles prices on eBay just shows how out of whack boxes/packs prices have gotten. The online breaks definitely contribute to that.

That being said, thanks for another great video and putting in the time to pull together all the info for us, you’re the man Stryker!

The primary value for retail is that the cost per card is so much lower for the base set. If you are a base set completionist, or you really like the 1988 refresh set, retail is the way to go. If you want parallels and want a chance at making your investment back, it's gotta be jumbo or nothing.

That foil was foil it was all foil. Nice centering, straight to the upgrade shop.

I bought 6 2023 Series 1 Blasters the other day. Out of all 6 Boxes I only pulled 1 gold card & 3 rainbow parallels. However, I did pull a Joey Votto camouflage /25 so maybe there’s something to the blasters possibly having better ‘hits’. It’s just going to cost a small fortune to find them. Thanks for the video & the info!

Good news for set builders, this should keep box prices reasonable for awhile. I was one of those people that liked to buy a box occasionally of Topps base brand and gradually filled in the set, just the way I did it since i was a kid.

Great stuff, as usual!!!! Thanks so much for all you do, Stryker!!!!

Fun ending break! I knew Jumbo's were way better than hobby for sure. I opened a few hobby's and hit a Kody Clemens auto and a black of David Mckinnon of the A's. In my only Jumbo so far I hit a silver pack Orange of Ivan Herrera auto /25! In the box an Andruw Jones auto, a Golden Mirror of Riley and Miggy a rainbow foil of Julio and Shea Langaliers ,a Black of Gleyber Torres to /72 and a gold of CJ Abrams. So yeah Jumbo's are the way to go.

Thanks for all this great info!

Jumbo is the way to go, 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.......

Generally retail in this set is not at all good. However, I did buy 3 hangars and in one of them there was an Adley Rutschman "Home Field Advantage." It was quite the surprise.

I bought a Jumbo Case pre order but won't open. What's total crap imo is that they ruined retail. It should be more balanced than it is. I agree that Hobby and Jumbo should offer more hits because of cost but in years past I pulled bangers like JRod Independence Day and JRod anniversary auto out of retail. Thanks Stryker for the breakdown as always. You're the only breaker I watch. The value series is always a must watch.

Thanks for doing this again. Looks like ripping the occasional Hobby or Jumbo is the ticket even at increased prices. My LCS couldn't even get Jumbos this year, only Hobby boxes. The Big 3 will keep "Selling Out" and each time they restock the price will increase. Even though it seems there should be plenty of Supply to meet the Demand with the increased production. If we had access to the product.

Another great breakdown and rip

what a beast. these breakdowns guide my buying

Yeah, I picked up two basters yesterday. Knew it was unlikely to provide anything outside basic inserts/base, but I was excited to see 2023. It was a freakin' desert. One numbered card out of the two. One rainbow foil. Two retail blue. Otherwise it was a lot of nothing. Sucks because you don't just pick up jumbos on a whim. Might have to bite the bullet and order one. Otherwise....? Seems like the odds are sliiightly better out of hangers than blasters, so I guess when I'm in that "open some retail" mood, I might have to limit myself to hangers. Or continue opening '22 Heritage High Number and Stadium Club, lol.

Hey man! Im new to the card collecting. Im a mariners fan and with julio on the box i chose to start with this set. Im blown away by how much there is to learn. Being new im reading and watching videos. Ive spent about 400$ at walmart on the small boxes. I have an ssp. Idk anything other than your video said it was hard. I will be following snd looking forward to more great videos like this. For beginners im having a hard time following what type of box each one is. Realizing i could spend that on one box alone is almost deflating. Any tips for beginners?!? Thanx

Thanks for the video Stryker. Love these and they definitely DO cause people to go nuts and sell out the big online stores. I could be wrong, but it seems theres a math error in the silver cards per player. We go from 1.26 million total cards to 0.6 million divided by 100. I think it should be 1.26 million divided by 100 to get 12,600 silver cards per player.

Thanks, found it and noted in revisions.

Just my opinion, but I think the $12.99 hangers are mainly for 2 subtypes: random purchases (like you’re at Walmart for milk and see it, hey it’s only $13…) and kids. 67 cards for $13 isn’t terrible and for non-hardcore collectors the worse pack odds won’t matter as much or won’t even be something they’re aware of. All that to say, bought my son a hanger knowing the odds and that lucky turd pulled a 1988 Baty on card auto.

I opened a couple hanger boxes today and pulled a DUAL auto of Bryce Harper and Mike Trout /10. Probably the craziezt pull ive ever got.

I would check the back of night every 1988 cards because you could get a real one out of 88 and it has no difference on the front only on the back has a stamp of out of 88. I have Nolan Gorman out of 88, 1988 Topps design.

Bought 2 jumbos. One had Ohtani Mother's Day Pink /50 and the other had Adley Rutschman Home Field Advantage and a Dale Murphy 1988 Auto /99. Go with the jumbos

Stryker strikes again with another informative video that's also entraining, AWESOME job! Let's get this channel to 100 K! I can tell you without doing any math or looking at odds from past jumbo boxes of series 1, that 2023 Jumbos are the best in years maybe as far back as 2015 Update. So your chart at the end comparing Jumbos is accurate based on our experience of opening boxes of series one for several years.
