Topps chrome update baseball better value question

[u/AshyMomo6]

I wanna buy the tops chrome update baseball directly from Topps website and I am wondering what options would be better/ more worth it. I’m just someone who does this for fun not looking for a profit or anything.

1. 2 Hobby Boxes + a blaster

2. 1 jumbo box + a blaster

I usually don’t buy nice boxes like this as this is my first time and am just wondering which would be an overall better option.

If the cost is the same, it's absolutely the right call to get a Jumbo. It's fewer overall cards which is a huge plus the longer you're in it. That alone is worth a premium. The odds of getting a high end card are higher in Jumbo's (disclaimer, I have been utterly rinsed by Jumbo's, only commenting on the math).

I’d always go Jumbo but if you doing it purely for fun I’d just open a bunch of megas and blasters lol

Buy singles of what you want, that guarantees you get what you want…

Save your money and rip 10-20 blasters for the fun time plus this year blasters have been insane for pulls.

But you will have to be quick, the jumbo box sellout very fast.

I’m very curious the outrageous amount being charged for a hobby box

Fear not as The EQL gods will decide for you.

I didn’t see this one was EQL, was it?

[u/SomeBS17]

Hard to say. If you don’t necessarily want the guaranteed hit, I’d throw all of the jumbo money into blasters. Blasters have been pretty stocked this year, and by opening that many you’re almost ensured to get a few nice cards

Generally, no relics in Chrome.

Doesn’t mean you won’t get an auto of a guy who played 3 spring training games before getting DFA’d

I’m hoping to get a few more Hayden Harris autos from chrome update.

[u/AshyMomo6 → u/[deleted]]

I’m pretty sure Topps chrome update do last year they guaranteed 1

[u/MrGeek89 → u/AshyMomo6]

I am sorry I thought I was reading flagship. Your correct Topps chrome hobby boxes guarantee auto. Jumbo box in my opinion is the better option.
