The “just buy singles” crowd really loves to hate on the people who enjoy opening boxes BUT if they got their wish and no more boxes were opened, there would be no more singles to buy 🤷♂️
Today I left my day job to pursue full time content creation in sports cards and to give me the flexibility to be a stay at home Dad to my boys. Thank you to everyone who has helped support me over the last 2.5 years and helped make a dream a reality!
I am excited to start
There’s so much bitterness in this hobby it’s honestly ridiculous. Just because a big content creator hit this does not mean he gets loaded boxes. Dude gets dusted all the time. People just look for things to complain about.
🏀 JUST PULLED 🏀
@PackmanCards
just pulled a Victor Wembanyama 2024 Topps Chrome Orange Refractor Rookie Auto /25 the night before release day!
We estimate this card to be worth around $5,000.
Hey
@PaniniAmerica
why did I just open 5 blasters of Rookies & Stars that are advertised to have 1 autograph or memorabilia card per box only to get 4 boxes with points in them? Absolutely unacceptable.
I’m not normally one to complain but I got dusted and one of my autos was a 2022 Skyy Moore that was just thrown into a $1000+ FOTL box. Then I log on to see this 🫠
Got my 1/1 Johnston redemption in today and thought this was a really interesting patch choice until I figured out where it is from! Still kinda wish it was the TCU shield though.
It’s a shame that negative posts gain more traction than the fun hobby posts. Theres a time and place for being a hobby watchdog but what I’m seeing lately is always a reach.
Anyways, here’s a cool card from my pc!
Sold out at $600…this is a product that relies on the autos. And we all know 3 of the 4 top QBs did not sign with Panini.
Im not paying $600 to get Clayton Tune, Jaren Hall, Tanner Mckee, or Sean Clifford as my on card auto.
Mac Jones to the Jaguars is super odd. But all i can think about is that guy that paid $100k for his Prizm Black Finite. I wonder how he’s doing right now…
The hobby is straight up rejecting products right now. Phoenix basketball FOTL hit the floor at $500 and now Elite Football FOTL sold out at $257 a box.
Are we finally seeing a price correction?
This doesn’t change the fact that so many numbered parallels of these downtowns were already hit in these FOTL cases. I saw a few 1/1s get pulled and multiple pandoras and golds.
Standard hobby has now been robbed of this opportunity to hit these.
UPDATE: On Donruss Optic “Downtown”
Earlier this week we became aware of a manufacturing issue with First Off The Line (FOTL) Donruss Football Optic & a collation issue related to the Downtown insert.
After conducting a 72 hour onsite audit at a new print manufacturer, we
So let me get this straight.
You gave up his number 1 receiver and high future draft picks to draft him
Threw him in to start for one of the worst NFL rosters in recent memory and were surprised when he didn’t perform.
And are now benching him 3 games into his second season

#Panthers
are benching former No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young and starting veteran Andy Dalton beginning this week.
Coach Dave Canales has repeatedly said “Bryce is our quarterback.” But with the season quickly slipping away, Canales decided to make a change.
I will never understand the seasoned collectors who are rude to new entrants into the hobby for asking simple questions.
Don’t be the person who drives others away.
Reminder there are multiple different ways to enjoy the hobby.
You like to open boxes? Great!
You enjoy buying singles? Awesome!
Hopping into breaks? Nice!
Buying and selling cards? Sounds Good!
Don’t be negative towards others because they enjoy the hobby a different way.
Words cannot describe how incredibly grateful I am to everyone in the community! We finally hit 20k subs!
I never, in a million years, thought it would get to this point when we started out and I am just thankful for the journey! 🫶
The Blank Slates are honestly one of the most underrated case hits in Football. They are just a super clean design with no frills and crazy rare to back it up.
There is a speck right next to the left hand on the sold listing and on the buyers new one. This is easily identifiable and definitely the same card.
@eBay
please do something about this fraudulent seller.
Worthwhile Ebay block right here.
👇 Absolute worst kind of people man.
Wonder how long until they list my Silver on their page with the rest of their Stroud listings..
I am so baffled by the amount of money being spent on Anthony Richardson.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s absolutely electric and has a super high ceiling. But the prices I am seeing for a guy who played 4 games just makes my head spin.
As a pack ripping YouTuber, the number 1 negative comment I get is “these are trash you only made X% back”
If you go into a rip with the mindset “i need to make my money back or I’m going to be mad” this part of the hobby is not for you.
Rip packs for fun, not to make money.
Guys, if you want to make a deal off of eBays platform you CANNOT talk about it on their messenger. I have been getting so many people asking me if i would take venmo/paypal/zelle ect off platform to save on fees.
eBay will ban you for this.
In the last week i have sold more singles than ever before.
Also in the last week I have seen a DRAMATIC shift in pricing for just about all hobby products.
The hobby is definitely not declining. But, it seems like people are just done with paying these crazy wax prices.
Currently working on another timeline cleanse of muting anything that has to do with politics and unfollowing anyone posting about politics. It’s just too much from both sides and I honestly couldn’t care less about any of it.
I want to see cards and sports content.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But if I follow you for Sports Card content or NFL content and you start posting political beliefs from either side, I will be unfollowing you.
It’s now very apparent Panini has an autograph shortage
We have old autographs of donruss and contenders in Phoenix, failure to put the advertised amount of autographs into Prizm Basketball, and now almost all autographs replaced with rewards points in Rookies & Stars retail.
Had someone offer me $60 on a card that just went for $80 so I ask if he could do $75. He then says he wants to be at 80% of comps.
I instantly decline the offer.
I have watched more baseball this year than the last 5 years combined and I forgot how much I love the sport. And starting to collect baseball cards has made it even more enjoyable
According to the Blowout release schedule Optic Football has been pushed back to 6/26/24. After Immaculate tomorrow, there are no other NFL products on the schedule as of this moment. We could be in for a long drought.
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the 15k Subscribers on YouTube! When I started this a little over 2 years ago I never imagined we could get to this point. I truly appreciate everyone in the community!
If you sell sports cards on eBay or anywhere else you should 100% file to be a business.
Track your spending and sales and hire an accountant to do your taxes.
If you don’t track your spend, the government will assume all of your sales are pure profit.
Well this is disappointing. Was supposed to receive a 2023 Mosaic NFL Sparkle pack for a an unfulfilled redemption and there was nothing in the package. Looks like it was cut open from the bottom and resealed too.
Last night was possibly our best break night today date. I can’t believe the amount of crazy cards that we hit! Congratulations to the new owners of these beauties!
More hits below!
Tonight we opened a box of 2019 Optic FOTL & a box of 2020 XR Football.
I still cannot believe what came out of them.
A Jordan Love Gold RPA /10 and a Kyler Murray FOTL Purple Stars auto /25
In the past I refused to delete any comments on YouTube or ban anyone from my channel.
But there is a person that has been harassing me in the comments section and has now decided to start harassing other commenters.
Do you guys think this warrants the ban hammer?
Now that the 2024 Score Football checklist has been released here are some of the notable missing signers. We can assume they are with Fanatics.

Jayden Daniels
Drake Maye
Marvin Harrison

I do 99% Buy It Now on eBay and my general rule for offers is if you low ball me, I will counter with the price I am looking for. But if you low ball me again it’s an auto decline and I move on.
Weeds out any unserious buyers or people looking for 60% of comps.
