my local grocery store had some Donruss blasters, bought 3, got my first Downtown ever, Peyton Manning, I am having a great day. Seemed like it would only be something everyone else got.
man, donruss was my first rip getting into the hobby back in 2021. i just went for it and got a blaster box. hit a downtown clyde edwards helaire rookie card. i was excited when i saw it but had no clue until after how big of a deal it was hitting it. Ended up selling it for over 100$ a bit later. not a big fan of the player but still a sweet pull!
Megas come with an optic preview in each pack, 6 total, in addition to the auto and possible numbered card. Absolutely better value than blasters if you can find them.
I’d take any downtown tbh. I’ve bought so many boxes. I always get nothing but I did get a Anthony Richardson rated rookie was about the best I’ve ever gotten
Was able to snag one of the megas by pure luck. Put on the “notify me when it’s back in stock” and less than 10 min later, I got the notification. Wasn’t sure how many there were so I really quickly added one to my cart and checked out as fast as I could and my order went through! I have a massive retail collection so I’m definitely gonna add it to that but gonna grab some blasters to open if I can find them in stores
The Megas seem like a good value this year. Blasters...excellent kindling for those cold winter days. Yea I'll open a few but I'll do it under duress...
You KNOW I lean toward megas, esp with guaranteed ink, but surprisingly I've seen some decent hits in these. I've seen maybe 2-3 dozen people open them so far and have seen 2 autos decent ones too & 3 Downtowns (Hurts, Stroud & Young). Soooo, tgere are big hits in these, but the odds I hit one- slim to none. Ive NEVER hit any special case hits & Ive collected off/on since like 82'/93' 😂 So, thats why when people say tgey gave bad luck I usually scoff & think- you have NO clue what bad luck is. 😅😅😅 Thanks for sharing! 🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈 Take Care/Stay Safe ✌
I understand the price being inflated for the DT chase but what’s funny to me is that megas guarantee an auto so hypothetically you could get 5 megas (5 autos) for the same price as a hobby that has 1 auto. Thanks for sharing this rip with us!!
megas dont guarantee auto .. its says " per box on average" meaning they have loaded up tons of mega boxes panini points which replace the auto .. seen a few people get shafted on autos with mega openings so far, when they put on average that's how they get away with leaving autos out of some boxes. id rather hunt a downtowns in blasters for 25.00
Hi Andy, Thanks for your thoughtful rip of Donruss football blasters. I just can’t believe the prices but I guess I’m just ‘raging against the machine’. Respect, Peter
Just now getting into NFL cards with my 8 year, I've enjoyed binge watching your videos to get an idea of the different lines differ. What do you do with all those cards that you don't want to keep, do people buy all those base cards? How close to breaking even do you think you would be from what you pulled from those 4 boxes?
These are big passes for me, the Megas are decent with an auto in each one and a chance at downtown. Otherwise just buy the DT you want specifically and save money 😅
I ripped a ton of 2022 Donruss and eventually hit a downtown, but it was absolutely not worth buying that much just to hit the one. This year, just going to try a few blasters and be done.
Technically, there is a Packer on the Downtown checklist but it’s one of the International Downtowns; Aaron Rodgers still in his Packers uni. Whether those can be pulled from retail, that idk.
folks pulling tons of downtowns from blasters, autos of other rookies arent worth price of megas. however i think megas have blue scope rookies so its a toss up, seen cj stroud down town and bryce young down town pulled from blasters
I've noticed that the print runs of football 🏈 retail cards have been going up this year. Telltale sign of a high print run is it being hard to pull numbered cards autos or case hits.
Hi Andy. Great rip. Just a question came to my mind. What do you do with the bunch of base cards? You don´t look much interested at them. Are they somehow availble? Thanks and congrats for this great channel
@@AcmePacks Thanks for your quick response 😊. Can we contact in private message to learn more on this? I am interested at this Donruss 2023 product (also 2022) (base cards) and it´s difficult to find them in Spain where the NFL hobby is just starting. Maybe, you have any sort of list with availables in bulk. I am staying tunned to this and willing to see more of your videos. You are doing great job!
Just want to pick your brain. What are your thoughts on panini not having the license anymore? What kind of effect will that have on panini football cards?
Panini was ruled in favor by the court during their arbitration for them to retain the rights through 2025 so they can still make licensed cards for the time being. However i am absolutely done with panini at this point and there needs for be change in the hobby. I am hoping fanatics will learn from paninis mistakes but a monopoly is never good for an industry like this
Jordan Love keeps playing the way he does, guaranteed to have a downtown next yr, balled out agaisnt the chiefs in a game i thought KC would win soundly
@@AcmePacks nice I make some videos for my family I use iMovie and I try to see what all my favorite TH-camrs use for theres I do some unboxings too and I'm doing a box battle with my uncle this weekend who's a HUGE packers fan you guys would become besties ha🤣
@@AcmePacks the local card shop is $44.99 $20.00 per hobby pack and $10.00 for retail fat packs smfh They ruin the hobby. They also only buy newer cards and they've gotta have serial numbers or autographs. So far out of like 8 blasters of this "product of the year" and probably 6 hobby packs and ,15 fat packs that I bought, they bought ZERO cards from me, out of them.
Your blasters were not good. Got 3 at walmart. Got stroud base. Richardson base. 3 foil richardson rc inserts. Minshew /50 and a tyreek hill crunch time.
Got my lil bro one for his bday and he got a Stetson Bennett patch and Patrick mahomes downtown same box
Banging!!!!

niceee man i just opened a prestige blaster and it kinda sucked

This is my favorite this year.. got my first downtown Zay Flowers rookie card from one of these blasters
I have opened 12 blasters have not pulled a Cj yet also no short prints
Love the video and got me buying 100%. Bought Prestige football blaster and pulled some sick stuff. Keep up the good content

Hey Acme Great Video! Love these types of rips. I think im going to get some of the donruss football myself.
We were pretty surprised not to see any Dallas Cowboys on the Downtown checklist too 😢 Thanks for sharing!
I been loving the mega. Lots of pink rookies in each pack. Lots of bomb squads.
Think the mega boxes are the way to go with 1 auto if you can find them before the scalpers get to them seen them going for tripple the price hate it
Just pulled a Bijan Robinson downtown out of my first Walmart blaster… 🤯
You KNOW I lean toward megas, esp with guaranteed ink, but surprisingly I've seen some decent hits in these.
I've seen maybe 2-3 dozen people open them so far and have seen 2 autos decent ones too & 3 Downtowns (Hurts, Stroud & Young).

Ive heard the megas are awesome this year!
Just finally got a restock i grabbed 4 blasters cant wait to get home and rip these
Saw a video of a guy pull a Down Town C.J Strout!! Donruss
Can you imagine what the prices would be if the top quarterbacks had autos? Would they be crazily higher?
would be unreal

100%, megas are the way to go with the product especially with the optic previews

I like your channel, bro. You take the time to explain things.
I appreciate that! i know my style isnt for everyone so it makes me glad to hear!

may like 75% if i sold every single rated rookie
Some hobby shops will buy a box of base cards ..mine gives me store credit for a full white box .
These are big passes for me, the Megas are decent with an auto in each one and a chance at downtown. Otherwise just buy the DT you want specifically and save money 😅

Buy the mega too
Love this one!!!! Man!!! The design is cool but this are EXPENSIVE
Technically, there is a Packer on the Downtown checklist but it’s one of the International Downtowns; Aaron Rodgers still in his Packers uni. Whether those can be pulled from retail, that idk.
I believe those are hobby exclusives
folks pulling tons of downtowns from blasters, autos of other rookies arent worth price of megas. however i think megas have blue scope rookies so its a toss up, seen cj stroud down town and bryce young down town pulled from blasters
mega boxes might be a tough grab in store. really a no brainer compared to the hobby for the price. good luck tonight.
glad i picked up a bunch on the target midday drop
What are the orange rated rookies and the "the rookies"
I've noticed that the print runs of football 🏈 retail cards have been going up this year. Telltale sign of a high print run is it being hard to pull numbered cards autos or case hits.
Not if you buy singles
No fun in just buying singles id rather go for the thrill of the pull than just buying the card cause you want it@@gospelcardbreaks4670
Just pulled downtown zay flowers today. Let me know if I should save him or sell out...
up to you! i normally look at it as is there a different card i would rather buy if i sold it or notf
Send that Rich Eisen card to his show and maybe he will sign it for you
My local store in nz has opened 2 case one unleashed one crunch time 😢
Love the Trevor in the back 🐆🐆
DUUUUUVVVALLL!!
I ripped 2 blasters and the best card I pulled was a Stroud rated rookie.
Same bro
Managed to pull a crunch time Dalvin Cook
That’s not bad tbh
He sells for like 50 Canadian
SKY B opened a full case he got 2 Crunch Times and a Downtown. So the Downtowns are maybe 1 in 20? Hopefully the Megas are loaded.
They are not sadly. Hobby case hit guarantee, but not for retail. Saw a full case of blasters opened and no DT.
When will the 23 nfl optics be on the shelves? I’ve herd so many different times
Late june
Gotcha. Thanks man
Hi Andy. Great rip. Just a question came to my mind. What do you do with the bunch of base cards? You don´t look much interested at them. Are they somehow availble? Thanks and congrats for this great channel
I normally try to sell them in bulk!

Do you know how much the Donruss mega boxes are?
$45 retail
Chase Brown Rookie just getting started
Jordan Love keeps playing the way he does, guaranteed to have a downtown next yr, balled out agaisnt the chiefs in a game i thought KC would win soundly
Man no bomb squad inserts those are a great looking set
I pulled a Clayton Tune bomb squad from a blaster.
I need to hit target and find a mega box
Question: What kind of video making platform do you use to make videos?
I use adobe premiere pro to edit my videos
@@AcmePacks nice I make some videos for my family I use iMovie and I try to see what all my favorite TH-camrs use for theres I do some unboxings too and I'm doing a box battle with my uncle this weekend who's a HUGE packers fan you guys would become besties ha🤣
If packers aren’t on the DT checklist why do u have a packet DT in the background? Is it Optic DT has packers only?
Panini creates a different checklist every year for downtowns that one is jordan loves rookie downtown from 2020
Why dont you sleve those insert rookies?
to save time. i sleeve more after the video is done haha
Bought a mega today at Target! No Autograph! I was so mad
Thats rough im sorry
Just curious what does he do with all those base cards? Do they go in the trash?
i normally try to sell them in bulk
@@AcmePacks Do you sort by team/player or just sell all at once?
Alot of paper...i bought a cj stroud rated rookie for $10.00 but still will rip a few boxes hoping for a downtown or crunch time ..
Since the megas comes with an auto ill get those instead
That box cost 40$ were I live lol
I got the 400 card for 40$
Fun video decent price nice rated rookies since hobby over priced joke you said Andy for a maybe chance I will pass
Pulled a Peyton Manning downtown from a blaster last night! Almost shit myself 😂
Congrats!!!!
Just opened 4 megas and the best card I pulled was an Anthony Richardson blue scope 🥲
What's even 💯 crazier is how much the megas are being sold on ebay 🤯 $75-$98 🤣 There $45 now at my local Target but i bought all 7 left 🤞🤑
Packman ripped a case and a half (ish) and no Downtown. He did hit a Marvels SP of Bijan but no DT. Craziness.
Inflation takes no prisoners
Being a Vikings fan that game was straight dog water just like Donruss is. Lol! Defense did amazing though!
Freakin Meijer in Ohio was $39.00
gross way to expensive

Your blasters were not good. Got 3 at walmart. Got stroud base. Richardson base. 3 foil richardson rc inserts. Minshew /50 and a tyreek hill crunch time.
Skunked by Panini who woulda thunk it?
Im avoiding these...base card city...
I was really looking forward to this product but will probably stay away. Barely hits and the ones you get aren't wanted.
Ive seen megas are loaded. Probably retail product of the year
Donruss hobby is trash. No auto and no points either. Lame.
Paper no mater what - rated rookie /young, etc - is just worthless.
to each their own!
