Always great info, always look forward to your videos. You keep it real with facts and great information. Thanks for the time and effort you put into the hobby and getting cards into kids hands. Also a huge Mookie Betts and trout fan!!!!

New to collecting and your videos are very informative. No doubt continuing to watch more of them will be a big help to me

Man love this informative detailed breakdown! Great watch

Love your videos.. appreciate your insight

I love it! Image variations here I come!!

Absolutely love your prospective on these. Honestly, really great way to look at potential rookie stars. New to the channel. Gonna have to check out more videos for sure. Have a great weekend!

Totally agree on the Harris II analysis you gave. His prior Minor League saber-metrics weren't exactly eye popping , but obvy something clicked for Mike Harris II when he got to the Show and caught most, (if not all) by surprise, from a Baseball Card Investers POV. Good Take!

This rookie class for series 1 is insane. I'm a big Vinnie P fan I see him as a Rizzo type. As an Orioles fan breaks are gonna get expensive.

Great video thanks for the Info. Series 1 ready 🍀🙏

Hey Scottie-you mentioned the change in rules this year re: the shift against hitters. I’d love to see a video where you rate which hitters will likely see huge stat increases as a result of this 😀 keep up the stellar content 👍

Good job buddy. I like the Seriousness of things and Honesty.

Been waiting for this vid thanks man👍👍 go Astros 🔥🏆

As an Orioles & cardinals Fan I couldn’t be more excited

Great video...just shared it on Twitter.

Great vodeo as usual Scott! I'll be chasing Casas and Gunnar but man there are a bunch of solid rookies.

Solid Video doing research for my SGC submissions! NEW Sub thanks!!!

Love that Mark Appel finally has a RC after like 10+ years

Great job Scott!

Awesome video, thanks! Michael Harris II is the real deal IMO.

I’m scared for the print runs, cuz this is THE BEST checklist of rookies I’ve ever seen in a single series of Topps! I bought quite a bit of update, but I’m glad I saved money to buy some series 1 cuz that checklist is RIDICULOUS.

Great video

Great informative video! I personally would have Pasquantino in the Moreno-Greene area, definitely ahead of Gorman.

I like Oscar Gonzalez I watched him take batting practice a couple times last year reminded me of watching Thome take batting practice

This is pretty exciting. When was the last time a Topps series 1 set had 5+ solid RCs? Seems like lately its been series 2 or Update with most of the good RCs...

Opened 4 Hangers: 1 Auto, 1 Rainbow Foil, almost all the rookies you listed beside 2...not to shabby. Idk if I'm compelled to open anymore. Will gamble once chrome comes out and we know what rookies are good by then lol

I'm stoked to hit a gold mirrored Beau Brieske SP and a Christopher Morel manufactured relic! Let's goooooooo!

Great rundown! It's going to be a good set but people will be disappointed ripping it given the set size and print runs. I think the Orioles are no brainer to buy into breaks, even if it's a little high. At worst you'll end up with a bunch of base rookies and inserts.

Good checklist for the FIRST of HUNDREDS of different ROOKIE LOGO cards of these guys from (+/-) 2 dozen DIFFERENT brands. As far as TRUE (aka 1st) rc's Gorman & Cassas ('18 Bowman draft) Adley & G. Henderson ('19 Bowman draft).

This rookie class is 🔥, I couldn’t think anything could top 2022 update but this might come close. I don’t recall a series 1 rookie class being this loaded, Topps usually likes to hold players back to series 2/update.

Lefty splits against Harris scare me. Nice to finally get an Appel rookie card!!

Great video! Is Josh Jung going to be in series 1 as well?

He's old for a rookie but it's been fun to watch Vinnie P I think he's going to have a big season

Great video! Would be interesting to see how today’s established stars ranked early in their careers. Know Harper was a highly ranked prospect-what about Trout, Betts, Arenado, etc? Didn’t Trout get demoted back to minors his first year? Appreciate the work you put into these-thanks!

This set is loaded! It's akin to Bowman...on a budget.. Once again....well done Scottie o.b. 😂

Just opened up a pack last night and I got a Shea langeliers 001/199 card.

best hooby box for this decade 2022 topps update baseballl hobby series 1 first release

Where do you rank Jeter Downs?

Great info, thank you. This is a deep set but series 2 of flagship is now looking like it might be awful, lol.

Gunner needs to prove he can hit lefties. Vinnie might be the next Goldschmidt and what a great thing to see Mark Appel

I think Riley Greene is a big time buy low guy right now...he didn't end up doing that great in his time in the bigs this past season, but I think he's going to round into an outstanding hitter. His First Bowman stuff is way cheaper right now than it's been in the past

How do you determine how the points are figured. IOW...Why 10 points and not 20? Why 5 and not 7, etc.

Its so funny i have been a topps set builder since 1972 and put up 5 sets from each year of the flagship , new collectors want instant value, how about basing the value of the total career and less focus on day to day stats just my thoughts

I'm kinda sad about the 330 image variations. I've really enjoyed building flagship sets and chasing a complete image variation checklist with it. A little extravagant, but at 70ish short prints I could justify chasing deals on ebay. But 330 image variations is a little much unless they are common enough for the vast majority to be worth about 90 cents like the gold parallels. Doubt it though. Still looks like a great set.

Heres a sleeper miguel cabrera slam dunk HOF and it will be his last card as an active player im looking for those miggy cards

Looks like a good rookie class. It'll be interesting to see who shakes out.

series 1 is LOADED

Interesting that Corbin Carroll has 2 auto cards, but no base...will those be considered "rookie" cards? Also curious where you would have him ranked if he did have base rookies in the series.

Super nice can’t wait for series 1 …

Another one is Andrew Painter pitcher for the phillies...may see some sets but I don't think we will be on the open day roster. MLB has him top 10 prospect

Definitely gonna buy a lot of dodgers spots in breaks

Definitely people sleeping on my boy Vinnie P. He's going to be an industry darling, and should be a prototypical .300/.400/.500 hitter with close to 30 homers in a full campaign. If the Royals get any better around him, he could be an easy 100/100 too. I wouldn't be shocked if he's won an MVP award by 2027

I need Adley to RAAAKE because I just tossed money at his Bowman Chrome Refractor and hopefully can flip it soon.

Any word if Francisco Alvarez will make Series 1? He is most likely going to start in AAA but we should see him up again at some point.

I think Alvarez from Mets will be good. If Kyle Harrison cracks the rotation for Giants out of ST I'm giving him ROY potentially

I'd love if you made a video talking about the best value of Topps packs. Like, where is the best place to buy them from for fun pulls

Great video. I can't believe Oswaldo Cabrera was left off the Series 1 checklist. Peraza has a RC and played significantly less games than Cabrera. Both are studs, but just very weird decision making on Topps' part.

how about JJ Bleday ?

Surprised Vargas didn’t crack the top 10. Dude had monster minor league stats and his bowman chrome autos aren’t cheap

Could these number be true for 2023 Topps Series 1 2023 Topps Series 1 - Clear Cards are 1:3,590 packs - 14 cards per pack - 100 Total cards in the clear set (assumed) - 330 cards in the total set 1. Figure out how many clear cards exists: (100x10)=1000 2. Figure out how many base cards it takes to get a clear card:(14x3590)=50,260 3. (1/50,260=1000/x)=50260000 total cards in hobby products 4. (50,260,000/330)= 152,303 of each base card in hobby boxes

Nice breakdown Scottie. Adley for #1 long term. Don't care about the age, he's the most transcendent talent on the list.

I’m a little bummed that carbon Carroll didn’t make the topps checklist, at least there’s a chance for his 88/ baseball stats auto

As a Brewer fan I was disappointed with the checklist. Woody is a top 15/20 pitcher and he’s not in series 1? Devin Williams omission? Ethan Small is the only rookie when Garrett Mitchell had 61 ABs last year? I wish I knew how they decide this. Best looking card since 2008 IMO though

Michael Harris is gonna be great what happened to Ezekial Tovar? Vargus shoulda been brought up years ago but he played for the dodgers Vargus and Pereza should be top 10, I guess Jordan Walker isnt coming up this year eighther

Just preordered a jumbo hobby , first box ive bought in 2 years

Who remembers the day when sp’s were actually sp’s? Should be top 3 rookies and top 3 vets a year and that’s it… even then that could be considered watered down to some.

Huge Brett Baty fan I'm kind of glad we didn't get Correa. Is Francisco Alvarez not in series 1 I haven't seen the checklist yet?

O's fan. Going after Adley and Gunnar

Thanks for the info and analysis. I’m very surprised that Topps included Liover Peguero in this set. I’ve been high on him as a prospect, but he only got into, what, one MLB game last year? And he struggled a bit in the minors last year and is by no means a lock to get called up this year. All that being said, I’m hoping to get some of his parallels (and his SP) on the cheap while he works things out in the minors.

This set is LOADED! Michael Harris, Vaughn Grissom, Adley Rutschman, Vinnie Pasquantino, Nolan Gorman, Riley Greene, Hunter Brown, Gunnar Henderson, Brett Baty, Triston Casas, JJ Bleday, Oswald Peraza, Kody Clemens, Gabriel Moreno, Christopher Morel, Cal Mitchell. Plus! You get J-Rod, Bobby Witt Jr., and Oneil Cruz's second year card.

Wait for chrome. Paper is dead unless you pull a big color parallel which will be astronomical

Random comment just to help support the channel.

Moreno is the chase IMO. Wait and see.

Give me Miguel Vargas all day long!!!!

So it looks like Corbin Carroll’s making Series II as his name appears to be absent here.

A lot of good rookies but none of these guys have the hype or name recognition that Wander or Julio had. Good set for real baseball collectors that actually follow the game.

Miguel Vargas will make an impact and imo you have him too low but lots of solid rookie potential in this set. Too bad they gave everyone in the whole set an SP card.

Meanwhile not one mention of Francisco Alvarez who is outperforming every rookie right now and is going to be the hottest cards to get your hands on!

Why would they leave out Oswaldo Cabrera? He had more playing time than Peraza.

The only thing I disagree with is the short print issue. I think Topps is doing it to combat an insanely high print run. Who wants image variations of the majority of the 330 players? Makes it impossible to pull the one you want.

Casas for the win!!!

No josh jung?

weird that riley greene is so high while Christopher morel doesn't even make top 16 given they had the same WAR in same about of ABs. Very similar stats across the board, really

Too low of a ranking for Peraza imo. Dudes a beast and so versatile on the field

Really hate the mugshot on the card..

Switch out Gunnar Henderson with Adley Rutschman. Gunnar was called up August 31st. Adley is already arguably, a top 3 catcher in baseball. Not saying, Gunnar won't win the ROY, but for now it's all hype.

Is Corbin Carroll not in here

How is Francisco Alvarez not on the list.

Adley at 3...I don't know about that man

No Oswaldo Cabrera! Topps you fu&ked up. But in all seriousness how does it work with a player that didn't have a RC the previous season due to being a late call up, but used up their rookie eligibility. Would Topps print a RC for his "sophomore season" or is this a rare case of his 1st bowman being his RC now?

No mention of bello... thats okay i want him to stay cheap

Baseball cards destroyed my life! And they took my wife away! Stay away from baseball cards everyone!!!

If you want value, don’t buy pitchers obviously

Riley Greene for the breakout season

At this point it's all so watered down not worth mentioning it anymore we either buy them or not

All these good rookies and everyone gets a short print … this is gonna water down card values even more and have flagship feel like gypsy queen and heritage … I don’t like it and I was excited

2nd

There only 2 guys the rest is 50/50 at best.

You bring a Rockies guy will be interesting to see where u place tovar

You gotta stop with all the purple... and be proud of your bald head!
