First Buzz: 2025 Topps Chrome baseball cards - Page 11

No Wood super

or a Judge/Ohtani logo

Kristian Campbell auto, and the green speckle Judge are probably the best.

Love the power players cards. Overall I didn’t make my money back…..yet

but it was a fun rip!

What do the Ohtani/Judge ssp’s look like

LOL, the only two boxes posted here (thanks for posting!) yielded a Kristian Campbell auto and James Wood auto.

I’d hate to see the next 70 boxes!

Getting 15-20% return on an average box is demoralizing.

Only degenerate gamblers look for ways to justify the odds.

40-60% return breakers say, "It was a fun rip, not too bad".

15-20% return breakers say, "We hit a couple decent cards but nothing too crazy".

Looks like they are aiding in the selling of this by inserting a dual logoman of Ohtani/Judge

It's like watching a train wreck.

All these addictions photos reminded me of this Stringer Bell quote…

“The thing is, no matter what we call [baseball cards], it’s gonna get sold. The s*** is strong, we’re gonna sell it. The s*** is weak, we’re gonna sell twice as much. You know why? ‘Cause a fiend, he’s gonna chase that s*** no matter what.”

Rubin has adapted this exact business model.

That’s the mindset…. #Collector

Bought 2 boxes.

Hit a Pedro Ultra Violet, a Trout Lightning leaders, and the only color auto was a true gold Hayden Birdsong

But by far the best hit was this

Jacob Wilson gold chrome Image variation /50

I PC Image variations and Golds so it checks my PC boxes butttttt idk if holding onto an Athletic player is a wise value move. Decisions, decisions.

Chrominator · 07-22-2025, 08:16 PM

Are image variation parallels a thing now?

boxbuster7 · 07-22-2025, 08:30 PM

I think they have been for a few years

Since at least 2018. Could be earlier but that’s the earliest ones I have

bowman209 · 07-23-2025, 03:14 AM

I watched a crap ton of breaks...this stuff has been brutal AF.

Sure, for those that get a big hit they will be like, wow, this stuff is great, LOL.

Rare.

Hobby seems the be the worst. Jumbo will get you rekt what like 9 out of 10 times.

Blasters seem to be doing nice. Way better value so far, from my research and I am a nobody.

Take this info as you will.
