Print run up… No name rookie autos up… price up… Need to rip 2024 TC Baseball - Way Down ✌🏼

The goat of breakdowns strikes again. Appreciate the work as always Stryker!

Preordered 2 monster boxes from GameStop and if you have a pro membership you will score % off the $65 dollar tag. In addition using your rewards points on what youve spent and can get even more off. Got 2 monsters for like $119. So sneaky steal here.

Absolutely insane how bad Chrome is this year from a value perspective. I know it's always a gamble, I love collecting but for the prices of even a blaster box it's just insane. 300 card check list is just way to much with the price of every format. Sure, you might pull more parallels but getting the players you want is going to be even more tough than 2023 or 2022 according to numbers I've seen.

Just pulled a 1989 Red Ray Wave Redemption card for Pete Crow Armstrong……

Out of my second Monster box….

God is good. 1/120, 185 AND it’s a rookie AND it’s mfn PCA.

Wow.

Monster Box off of Amazon.

Hobby boxes are too high. The checklist is 80 cards more. With blasters being $40 and monster boxes being a monstrous $65 or more, I think I may wait and just do an MVP buyback lot. Thank you for sharing. You're the best on breaking down product.

[AnthonyDorney]

Thanks for the spreadsheet and the breakdown of the odds per format Stryker! You are the best! I was initially very excited for chrome but with the price increase and the checklist going from 220 to 300 I'm not gonna be spending that much on chrome this year. Maybe ill pick up a monster box if I see one for 65.

[ghostcoasttrading]

Fanatics started the pre-order for Monster boxes at $59.99 and then increased it to $65 after a few hours. Ridiculous.

[EAR]

I started collecting a couple years ago and your vids play huge part of me getting in the hobby!

Gonna be passing on this release most likely unless I see some price justification.

[stepinthebox]

What is crazy to me I was able to buy 40 Box Blaster Cases for $25 each the week before the buyback last year.

[mots]

Can’t do dollar per parallel anymore Stryker. Increased parallels and increased checklist every year will artificially inflate those numbers. Have to go dollar per “Good Rookie Parallel.” And let’s be honest, GRPs should be limited to the top 5 rookies to maybe 10 at most. The dollar per GRP is way down again this year with that big checklist increase. Hard pass on breaks and wax

[billy]

Wish these videos showed what the cards look like for the newer collectors like me.

[BoldandBrash]

I think I'm done buying sealed Topps at release price for the foreseeable future.

[jordane]

$65 for 42 cards...yeah, that's gonna be a no for me dawg

[mcfetty]

I’m just now trying to get into this because I’m carrying on my uncles collection he started in the 80s and I am so lost. Never realized all the different types/brands of boxes and have no idea what to get into unless I just have to go through all of these. Didn’t think it was this complex

[Bryan]

So base card print runs are down per player, BUT total base cards are up from 37.01 million in 2023 to 43.88 million in 2024. That's around 6.87 million more base cards, with fewer cards in blasters and monsters in years past. It's an 18.5% increase in base cards, and likely around a 20% increase in sealed boxes out there. For the love of Pete, don't overpay for boxes!

[gregwilliams]

Thanks for the video! Your breakdowns are always appreciated. This morning I picked up a couple of monster boxes at $59.99 from Fanatics before the website increased them to $64.99. I hope Fanatics honors my purchase price.

[bobgriffin]

Fanatical. New insert. Fanatic at its finest. Cool insert but anything that reminds me of them is sickening. Great video as always Stryker. You the man

[BrandonGarcia-gouc]

I grabbed the last blaster at Target....Bryce Harper Superfractor.

[cardyard]

I hate to sound like cranky old man, but I started collecting in 1974. It was 10 cents for a pack, about a penny per card. Did I just see $1.43 per card from blasters? Granted these chrome cards are far cooler than those 1974 cards were. But that is just sobering especially if you don’t hit the right parallels and inserts. I’m just buying my team in breaks on this one. Thanks for this awesome breakdown, Stryker!
