[hermanotarjeta]

That was a very satisfying case, congrats!

[kingofsnake]

Great case, Mattsurewood. Congrats.

[DarcyWinston]

That case was awesome. Totally awesome.

[StlBen]

As far as bust cards go in this product...if anyone pulls Victor Scott parallels from the packs hit me up.

Congrats on the great 2nd case!
If you ever consider selling that Ichiro triple patch, I am very interested...

[dodgerfanjohn]

That Elly is awesome!

Thank you for sharing.

I don’t watch many breaks because I think it is moronic

But I’m watching Layton opened 75 percent of the print run of the product transcendant


500 dollars for a random spot …

Some gamblers hits was a sealed pack with 20 dollars in cards

Maybe 1-2 spots got money back and most lost 400-450 dollars

wtf is wrong with people

[JRX]

For 500 you can probably just buy an auto of most players in the checklist.

[Bunny Hop]

thanks for the high-end breakdown, Mattsurewood. Cool to see and read about.

[JRX]

Do all the patch cards have some sort of game worn authentication or is Fanatics using their apparel entity to make jerseys for their card entity?

Or several autos....

The reality is that due to the volume of products being released and the fact that a lot of GOATs have died/stopped signing, the value of autos in general are significantly decreasing.

Koufax and Yaz are the only two major stars who debuted in the 1950's who are still signing, and all of the guys from the late 60's (i.e. Ryan, Carlton, Palmer, Bench, Reggie) are signing a ton. The 70's don't have a lot of top-level stars other than Mike Schmidt and George Brett, and you've already lost Rickey, Gwynn, and Puckett from the 80's.

Yep, Geoff Wilson opened one on YouTube yesterday. He seemed to have very little idea of what he had received of course.

And also butchered the name Gelof for added fun.

[baseballbunez]

First two tickets on eBay posted at $10k and $20k. It's almost like these breakers listing stuff have no idea what anything is actually worth!

That's my biggest turn off on this year's version, so many breakers ripping that have zero idea what stuff is. Screaming about pulling a $150 card as how "paid" that team is when they paid $800 for the spot, etc.

He had a solid box, a 1/1 Trout Patch Auto was the first card he pulled out...

He definitely did not seem to understand what he was doing or how to go through the box...

He obviously broke even with the invitation, I wonder what the value is on the other stuff...

I'd disagree wholeheartedly with this take. I'd bet that a lot of the breakers do have an idea what the stuff is and what the prices are of their pulls. The problem is that they're running a business. If they got pissed off that the break was crap and made it visually, people wouldn't be foolish enough to buy in more.

The space essentially has become a place where breakers are used car salesmen. They'll sell you about the experience of the kids in the backseat not being able to kick you while the car won't run for 5,000 miles without needing $10,000 in repairs. A lot of them know exactly what they pulled. They know the customers are hemorrhaging money, but they act excited to sell more. It's really simple. Topps depends on them for this behavior because they sell more cases at higher prices with this behavior and irrationality of degens buying into breaks at way inflated prices.

The 2 breaks I've watched have been absolutely bonkers. 1 had a 1/1 Trout RPA along with VIP golden ticket, other had a Dominguez Super, Jackson Holliday 1/1 RPA, and a "meh" hit from the case was a Jackson Merrill /5 auto. Those 2 guys definitely got their $10k back and then some.

A Trout 1/1 RPA really is something…that doesn’t actually exist.

[TimmyWeiss]

For anyone interested, the East West Sports Cards did an 8 case break on Fanatics and pulled the Mantle bat knob/auto, Jackson Holliday ‘fun face’ knob, a bunch of 1/1s including Skenes and Ohtani. It was quite insane. So those cards have been pulled

[JSorensen1771]

I saw that, dude ripped his shirt off lol--most insane break I've ever seen

[TimmyWeiss]

You would have thought with the bangers they kept pulling that it was 18 cases. They pulled at least 3-4 Jeters, who I’ve never seen pulled yet

Question...
How can one tell which base card is an image variation or a base card?

Thank you.
