With all the recent buzz around the 2023 Topps Series 1 Ohtani All Aces, I’m seeing more people jumping back into wax to try and track one down. So I wanted to add a little context that might help. All Aces debuted in 2023 with a print run of ~77,350 per card. For comparison, that’s the same print run as the 1988 Topps inserts in that set. If you ripped that product, I know you remember…those things were like cockroaches. They were everywhere. Though the All Aces benefitted from a smaller checklist (25 cards vs 100), and that included Ohtani, the per card print run was nearly identical. In Series 2, Topps scaled things back a bit. All Aces dropped to ~20,200 per card across another 25-card checklist, but no Ohtani. And 2023 Update remained steady with another 25-card checklist, no Ohtani, and print runs of ~20,200 ea. Then things changed. All Aces sat out 2024 but came back in 2025 Series 1 with a vengeance. The design had been enhanced on a black textured stock and actually short printed this time around. Print run dropped to ~360 per card. Raw Ohtani copies of this set currently sell for about $2,200. In 2025 Series 2, Topps swapped in All Kings and tightened things even further to ~240 per card print runs. Ohtani shows up again, this time in a batting pose. You might think with 33% lower print run and a bat instead of a ball, that the value might be a bit higher on these. And you'd be right. Last raw sale around $8,100, PSA 10s going for $19K. 2025 Update skipped both sets, but 2026 Series 1 brought them back and Ohtani anchors them both. The All Kings (batting pose- print run ~230 ea) still carries the most value at around $6,100 vs roughly $4,500 for All Aces, print run ~300 copies ea. With all that in mind, it’s easy to see why the 2023 All Aces has taken off. The 2025–2026 Aces/Kings have priced a lot of people out, and the 2023 version is close enough visually to pull people back in, even if it’s a very different card in hand. That 2023 Ohtani is now pushing ~$300 raw and has cleared $1K in a PSA 10. As a result, 2023 wax has gotten hotter than it’s been in a long time and is starting to dry up. So I wanted to look at how the main formats stack up if you’re chasing: Secondary market pricing (rough ranges): • Hobby: $150 • Jumbo: $250 • Blaster: $25 • Hanger: $19 $ per All Aces (2023 Series 1): 1) Blasters: $57.14 - 1 per 16 packs (~2.3 boxes) 2) Hangers: $76 - 1 per 4 boxes 3) Jumbo: $100 - 1 per 4 packs (~2.5 per box) 4) Hobby: $100 - 1 per 16 packs (~1.5 per box) Blasters come out as the cheapest path to an All Aces…on paper. But they’re brutal for just about everything else. No real shot at autos or relics, and virtually no upside beyond the chase itself. Hangers are a better middle ground. Still not good odds on hits, but at least you’re not completely drawing dead. They just can't compete with Hobby or Jumbo in that regard. If you actually want a shot at everything in the product while chasing, Jumbo is the play and it's not even close. Slightly worse on $/Aces, but it’s the most efficient format for every other desirable hit across the board. And you'll still pull 2.5 All Aces per box. And oddly enough, while digging around, the best current Jumbo price I found was sitting on Amazon at $250. Good luck everyone! #thehobby #SlabSquatchAnalytics #OhtaniAllAces
