It’s funny, people think that it’s only boomers on BO complaining about breakers, but it is really happening everywhere, even in their on backyards.

Breaking was fun when it was Houdini and you paid your share of the total cost.

I guess most aren't on blowout because they would get instant ban with what's being said on that reddit thread.

Why would you waste time opening packs for degens when you can open your clothes for them. More lucrative.

(all from one case)

This turned into 41 Workman autos, out of 2 cases. Another post said there were 11 Workman autos in a different 1 case jumbo break they were in.

Blasters still available on Topps website. Must have made a million of them.

BOOM!!!!!

It’s been an interesting arc for this product since it’s inception to the current.
The 2001 release was absolute fire for the day it released with the multiple Ichiro/Pujols cards and those retrofractors.
Starting in 2013?- A cool little late season retail only afterthought with no autos for the first handful of years including the paper/chrome combo early years.
The huge organic retail chase for Acuna/Soto cards in 2018- maybe one of the best ever.
The huge downfall overall from a fun low risk ROI rip that has gone through a ton of format and parallel change yoy that may epitomize the essence of my dissatisfaction with how Topps (and now Fantatics)has made cards less fun for me in recent years. I like pedigree, history and continuity in my card sets. Similar odds for similar cards over time scratch an OCD itch for me and I like being able to compare similar cards from different years and players without ftard algebra to compute a multiplier.
Now the 1/1 RPA chase has jacked a once favorite product of mine into a laughable price range.

They're gonna keep overprinting until the dum-dums stop buying. Maybe they finally reached that threshold.

kyle1707 · 12-12-2025, 11:00 PM

Buddy owns lcs and he got a case from topps to sell

He said it’s the worst product he has ever seen for 300 bucks per box

We all know it should be 65-75 a box. But the nice people of this hobby won’t stop doing such stupid things and over paying for wax.

I can’t believe this is still going on After all these years people just can’t stop

But any way. He said most boxes had 20-30 dollars in cards

It's like Powerball except the tickets are $300.00 each. Your odds of winning are probably the same, unless you're a breaker of course.

At least we can reminisce about the glory days, like when the Skenes debut patch was pulled by a little kid.

It’s funny: bc it was pulled off camera, people did conspiracy theories about it. Now that Topps said “f you then, we’ll put 85% in breaker’s delight that we won’t sell to a kid, and we’ll put the biggest one in a breaker’s delight.” This is what happens when people complained last year. As with everything, Topps overcorrected and didn’t understand why people were really pissed. It was that they marketed it as out there when they knew it wasn’t.

What a horrible gif^

Fraud allegations aside, Topps Chrome is gaudy/busy/ugly.

Bring back retrofractors and/or pre-2005 etching.

crownand · 12-13-2025, 02:52 PM

hermanotarjeta · 12-13-2025, 03:47 PM

You can buy a topps chrome Kurtz rookie auto for the price of a hobby box of update - why are people opening this?

Only $15 a random team spot?

Degens gonna degen.

There’s a lot of deserved hate in this thread but I’d rather have 2025 over 2022.

2022 TCU is possibly the worst chrome release of the last five years.

Where have all the fanatics apologists gone?

Ah, they’re too busy participating in breaks to post here.

Hey, there’s a vein!!!!!
