Topps Chrome Sonic - Only slightly better than ‘91 Fleer.

I've been watching for almost a year now, after dabbling back into the hobby after many years. Love your channel, and the content, so today I became Slammer and look foward to getting into some breaks. Thanks for dragging me back in to hobby that I had forgotten how much i loved.

Topps Chrome Sonic - At least buy me dinner first…

Topps Chrome Sonic: At least include gum.

The thing that surprised me the most is they didn't include the in season rookies considering this was produced so late. Take the ten top in season rookies and make them 201-210 and short prints. I bought a box assuming there would be Julio rookies, I'm sure I wasn't the only one.

Missed a Goldschmidt at 11:58 and 19:30

I would have considered buying this product if it mirrored the Logofractor and Bowman megas, where you’d get two packs of sonic refractors, one numbered card per pack kind of format. Thanks for taking the hit and sharing this video!

Watching the optimize at the start slowly fade to frustration basically sums up a lot of the 2022 chrome products...

Missed a Goldy around 12:00, and the 5th or 6th box as well. It was on top.

Thanks for diving on this grenade for us Stryker this product was pretty brutal

I am surprised. I saw one box of this ripped and said "this is just a cash grab". I was surprised when I heard Stryker was going to rip a case. Usually Stryker is pretty savvy but this was a bad idea! THANKS for the entertainment Stryker!😎👍✌️

Topps Chrome Sonic: Where you're not guaranteed a Sonic card, even though we call it that

Feels like the biggest problem with this is the checklist. Without the update rookies, there's just not many possible hits. Like, I'll be honest: I like the Sonic parallels a LOT. The cards are gorgeous. I've absolutely gone on ebay and bought some low-tier singles just to see them in person. But the checklist isn't there to make the chase particularly compelling. Put another way: I'd rather open this than a couple of 2022 Chrome blasters. However, I'm simply not interested in opening 2022 Chrome anymore. That ship sailed a couple of new releases down the line and the release became downright irrelevant with 2022 Chrome Update. Sonic does nothing to interest me in returning to the non-update Chrome.

I think you missed a Goldie CC. It is worth it I love the parallels!!

Thank you for speeding it up i appreciate it

I cashed in $80 in buybacks and got a box to rip. After seeing your video not as excited to open my box. I did however get 7 chrome blaster boxes for $150.00. Hope to get them before March 31st and pull atleast three more buybacks. We shall see.

They look good for sure. Maybe some cases are dry and some cases are loaded? Small sample size here.

I was going to point out a Goldie credit card but some other commenters already have. So I'll just say, I really like your channel. I think this product is kinda stupid bc I've already spent way too much on chrome, I can't justify buying basically more of the same stuff trying to hit on those long odds. Your channel is awesome because it confirms what I already thought to be true. I also really like your price per card breakdowns for flagship.

Topps Chrome Sonic: 9 out of 10 doctors recommended something else.

To be honest, I wouldn't dive into this product due to the fact that this product has a double Whammy against it 1. taking the base product from your standard Chrome and adding "after thought" variations and 2. the OC is definitely in need of help!

“Can we have more print lines please?” 😂 epic

Your traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a mononous land whose boundaries are barren . Thats the signpost up ahead-your next stop, the Topps Sonic Zone!

Topps Chrome Sonic Fanatics Gotta Make That Money Back .... I loved the brutal honesty I have thought the same when others ripped and was glad you didn't get any for the breaks and I am just a viewer.

Tough case Stryker! Part of the let down of this set is the checklist...especially compared to Update checklist. Better luck next case bro!!

That was fun thanks as always Stryker

You missed goldschmidt right after the halfway point. I'm sure you'll find it. I think it's a decent rip at that price. Can't get hurt that bad.

My case had a Julio 222. No complaints here. Centered.

Nice vid. I pulled an Image Variation SSP out of '23 Bowman Mega and was Jackson Holliday (wish it was Elly). Not bad for a $45 box at Barnes & Noble, and because I'm an addict , my Barnes & Noble membership gave me $5 off due to so many purchase points.

Topps Chrome Sonic: She’s a little thick on top.

Your facial expressions gave us all a good chuckle, that being said I think the only thing that would have made this break better...If all the packs were bricked up lol

Topps Chrome Sonic: Kid tested, K approved.

Had to leave a like on the thumbnail alone 😂

I saw a couple more Goldy’s in that base too. Started bypassing them as the disappointment set it.

I got a Cj short print and a wander black wave . Not to shabby 🤗

Best thing about sonic is the big rookie logos.

Stryker's Topps Chrome Sonic NIGHTMARE!!!

Product Blows, Stryker Rolls ⚾️🇺🇲✌🏽

Appreciate you doing this kind of videos. My first case was worst than this. Only decent hit was a non-numbered Expose Tork and $200 worth of buyback.

You missed a Few Goldie’s earlier on in the video, But I couldn’t agree more. I bought (5) boxes locally, The best card I hit was a Baz Prism. Bought another (5) from a buddy out of state, best hit was a horribly centered Torkleson YouthQuake. My reaction and feelings towards Sonic was the same as yours. I got to the point where I didn’t sort them at all. Out of (10) boxes, You should atleast hit something that pays for (1) box. The only positive was 3 credit cards. However, I do appreciate this video because if nothing else, You confirmed my beliefs and hopefully save many others from the pain we both just went thru. Thanks for all that you do buddy!!

I bought a few of these. I like Topps Chrome so I was ok with it. Best hits were Julio Youthquake, Cruz raywave and Wander silver. A few of my Sonics were just ok, nothing major, but the kicker was seeing how you only get A CHANCE at a Sonic parallel. That's crazy and should have been 1-3 per box. Otherwise, this is a glamorized Chrome mega box.

U went by the Paul credit card! Get those b4 it’s over! Lol

Yaz is my fav player! How much? Love the channel. I laugh out loud. Good stuff

I bought one box at lcs in kentucky, against my gut because I knew pulls were tough, against all odds I pulled a triple auto, Mike Schmidt, wade boggs and Adrian Beltre, 07/20, I was shocked. But it's still a very tough product. Thanks Stryker.

Great video! I opened 2 boxes so far and got SUPER SUPER lucky with a Wander /25!

Topps putting out way too much Chrome product. Hopefully they don't continue this bad QC nonsense with more releases.

Maybe I just got lucky on my 4 boxes. I pulled 1-2 CC per box & was very easy to make a positive ROI. Crappy part is not guaranteed to pull a Sonic refractor in every box.

Bought two 2022 chrome blaster boxes and pulled Goldschmidt green and magenta parallels and a Judge base. Should I send them in or keep them. The magenta can pull a gem 10. Thoughts anyone????? The green is #86 of 199 and slightly OC as basically most from this set is.

Sonic is Moronic! Was thinking about getting 2 boxes for MVP hunt not now i am just getting a Jumbo thanks Stryker!

Just ordered a box and it’s coming tomorrow so I thought I’d check a video so I have some idea what to expect…hmm, better keep my expectations low! Obviously no buybacks anymore either

Stryker BREAKS HIS HEART with Topps Sonic

I have a Goldy /5. Some people were saying $1,000 on the buy back, but I might PC it since I'm a Cardinals guy. Tough call though.

Hopefully the tops chrone lite in 2023 is way better. It should be because of adley, gunnar, harris, hopefully corbin carroll and others

Topps needs to tone down the market saturation

Sorry Stryker, that was rough. I was really hoping they would have made it just like logofractor. How much better would this had been if they had 2 sonic packs?

Opened two boxes. First box got a wander/199 and a Julio expose/25. Graded the Julio. Psa10 pop 1

1000$ case? That’s pretty brutal!

I ripped a case and felt like you for about 10 boxes. And then I hit a Julio case hit Exposé. And then a dual auto Trout/Ohtani. And then an MJ Melendez Youthquake red /5. But I know I’m the exception and your case is more the norm. As for title? “2022 Topps Sonic: Bend Over, Stryker!”

Topps Chrome Sonic Shenanigans

You shuffled past at least 2 Goldy's. I do it all the time, I have to make sure I go back through the piles, found $60 bucks worth the other day. Getting ready to submit them all for 2023 Bowman.

I'm curious to see what effect this will have on the value of the Judge and Goldschmidt cards in the future? Could they go up to being worth more than $20? I think Topps did something similar to this in the past but can't remember.

Topps chrome Sonic - Gotcha again lol

Hey Whats up! Love the videos

Topps Chrome Sonic - Gift this to the collectors you hate

If there was ever a product that says: “we don’t give a rat’s a*s about our customers”, it’s this product. I love your videos man, you are the best I’ve seen….and it’s not even close.

i opened one box of Sonic and pulled a Triple auto of Acuna, Tatis, and Vladdy numbered to 10....as a side note, you missed a goldy credit card in box 4...keep pulling the fire brother!!!!

In your opinion, what do you think is the best box price wise and the cards you're able to pull?

Topps chrome sonic "Go F$%^ yourself" I lost it there buddy, lmao

I bought a box of sonic and I'm convinced its the left overs from the chrome and update .. i would have recommended against it. Even at the price.

I love me some Joey Votto for my PC!!

Keep it up man! Topp’s missed the mark on there chrome products this year. Or should I say fanatic? 🤙🏻

😢 always leave a like for stryker not the product! pain.

Topps Chrome Sonic - My stomach hurts

I believe you missed 2 Goldie's. So you should have 3 judges and 4 Goldie's when you filter thru again

I agree with you Stryker, I bought a few hobby boxes of this when it was new and I guarantee I overpaid for them...I did pull a Mike Trout aqua pink sonic raywave and a nice Heliot Ramos Youthquake, but that was bout it.

Your commentary though! 😆

Do you think the numbered Judges that look ideal for grading would be worth sending in due to the fact that most will be redeemed? Granted after the program ends, the cards value is likely to drop. I say Judge over Goldie since he holds more value and it was his big HR season.

Sonic Boom? More like a Sonic Bust!

5:04 If Jake Meyers becomes an all star I'll be sick to my stomach. Sold his red refractor auto out of chrome update

Topps Chrome Sonic - Perfect for Bike Spokes

I opened a case too and it was terrible, worst money I ever spent potentially. I feel your pain bro!😢

Topps Chrome Sonic - A product not to mess with

Here’s a title: sonic 4 suckers lol. This is a product I would only get by a case like you did to go for the buy backs and chance at a sp or something.

Topps Chrome Sonic: worse than Opening Day 😂

Would Topps replace the card with the printing line in it? If you sent it back to them. I would think they would since its a printing error.

I love the Lowe at least. But that just homership.

Regarding the Buy Back program if you sold the Trout, Wander cards on Ebay would you get more $$ or less?

Topps Sonic just kicked me in the yum bags

I pulled the Wander RC Orange Black /25 yesterday from 1 box but the rest of the box was bad. Would you like a cold bag of peas for the lower extremity pain?

You’ll get better results at a topless bar for the money.

Topps chrome sonic, the new retail!

This is why buying boxes is 100% a gamble. You are better off just buying the player you want. It will save you time, money, and stress.

Topps Chrome Sonic - can’t even use it for firewood. Hahhahaha.

Update on my box. No credit cards but I did get a Wander Prizm refractor a Connor Wong sonic to 199 and a Kyle Tucker red wave to 5.

Topps chrome sonic, great for bicycle spokes!

I bought one box of this and got a Miguel Cabrera Spencer torkelson dual auto before I watched this video and I’ve not bot another box again

Are odds better with a case than buying the same Amount of boxes thru retail? I’m glad you lay it out as an expenditure and if it’s actually worth it.👍 I’ve been out of the hobby since the early 90’s and am wondering whether it’s worth getting back in heavy or just sticking with older HoF’er cards that stay relevant .

Topps Chrome Sonic - As good as the restaurant

I opened 3 boxes. Got 2 judges and 2 Goldschmidts. And a Reid Detmers sonic /75 …

I stopped while I was ahead when I got O’Neill Cruz /299 and the judge raywave. Both look psa 10 worthy.

Being a mid-90s basketball collector as a kid, the topps chrome Youthquake was a big card (especially Kobe Bryant). I got my Wander off eBay, decent centering. Overall though this was a disappointment.
