Yeah, you can get a better pull out of some of the Rip it or Keep it cards, like John says, r/baseballcards, some people have had luck, I think I would struggle with ripping a numbered card already!!!
Hi Erik! A very tough decision but I think I would have made the same one. The possibility of having a rare card/auto would have driven me nuts. Thanks for sharing!
Wow wow wow wow !!!!! Aloha !!!! All is well. I worries !!! You started with one big Cal!!! It's all good Now you have 4 cards!!!! Enjoy !!! Ps. It's not just about the money!! It's all about the experience and creating great memories !!! Great Rip!!!! Great Rip !!!!
If you stick a flaslight on the back of the card you can see what kind of cards you are getting.May not br able to see the exact player but at least the parrallel.Tough one man 😊
By being able to do this will make the value of nearly all of them drop. Making things like this searchable devalues all of the cards, and to suggest such things is scummy
This wasn’t even my card and I was stressed out as you were ripping it. Sorry you didn’t pull any autos Erik, but that’s still a nice stain glass Kershaw. Safe travels to the National!
Great video!! I was a nervous as you was opening that card. I would have opened it too. It’s just baseball cards. Have fun with them. Thanks for sharing!! God Bless!!
Almost every video I've watched for these (particularly 2019) looks like these things are money sinks. Bunch of standard SSPs and some stained glass cards with the promises of higher stuff. A&G is a step above Fairfield, it seems, with their "You can get this!" strategy.
My wife loves Buster Posey. She's new to the hobby and has a rather large Buster Posey collection. That Posey would be a great addition to her collection!
That Kershaw has a chance to do $100 or more! That Brett is a SSP its a solid hit! You could still be able to sell the Ripken and Thomas.....make sure you post it as came from a RIP card it should do quite well! Keep up the awesome content!
The Kershaw card sold for $79 in case anyone is interested.
Chris W. Thx for the spoil
@@jblillemoen8456 Not sure how this is a spoil since the card is revealed in the video, unless you are reading comments beforehand.
JB Lillemoen that’s kinda your fault
Not an awful choice at all. Obviously the wrong choice, but only in hindsight. Sometimes in life, you just have to rip it, even if you lose.
That's the same way i feel about farts😂😂😂
bret hart awesome response from The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.

i realize I'm pretty randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to watch newly released series online?
Allen and Ginter cards are badass. You'll see in 20 years
This is why I no longer buy packs. I just buy the cards I want. Safe travels to the national card show Erik.
I hear you but opening the occassional pack is still fun though.
droogie76 , you’re absolutely right. I’ll buy the occasional pack, I just don’t buy boxes anymore.
@@moose2687 I only buy about 3 boxes a year now. Got to be selective. This stuff is expensive.
droogie76, that it is.
The John Wathan stained glass sells for $225.
These RIP cards are batting below the Mendoza line
Erik, there's a reason you have the best baseball channel on TH-cam! The passion you have for Hobby is almost unparalleled! Many thanks!
I could never ever rip that. I'd hold on to it for 50 years. Sheesh
Win some, ya lose some! Love that Frank Thomas card.
This is madness !!! Has anyone ever got anything good from these rip cards
Nope! lol
I’ve seen an Altuve auto pulled from one!
Yeah, you can get a better pull out of some of the Rip it or Keep it cards, like John says, r/baseballcards, some people have had luck, I think I would struggle with ripping a numbered card already!!!
Hi Erik! A very tough decision but I think I would have made the same one. The possibility of having a rare card/auto would have driven me nuts. Thanks for sharing!
I like the way you opened up the Cal Ripken card. What's life without risk.
No auto but very nice pulls! You could have gotten Cedric Mullins, Matt Shoemaker, and Joey Gallo like I did. Have a great night Eric
Nothing better than a rip card. Gotta be fun to have a 3 in 1
The rip made the video much more interesting. May have lost some money but you definitely gained a subscriber.
OOOOH THE SUSPENSE! I WOULD HAVE RIPPED THE RIPKEN AND FRAMED IT. THEN SOLD THE KERSHAW, THOMAS and BRETT! Great video Erik!
Love these rip cards.
Love them to
That's all I been collecting..
Wow wow wow wow !!!!!
Aloha !!!!
All is well. I worries !!!
You started with one big Cal!!!
It's all good
Now you have
4 cards!!!!
Enjoy !!!
Ps. It's not just about the money!! It's all about the experience and creating great memories !!!
Great Rip!!!!
Great Rip !!!!
Thanks Erik!!!!! We really enjoy these!!!
Aah....I cant believe your ripped Rip. Tough luck....enjoyed the video though.
You can actually tell what the cards are without ripping it by using a flashlight against the card in the dark!
The sacrifices you make for your You Tube fans - lol. Great video Erik
Getting $150-$170 back from ripping it is on par with how much value someone gets out of opening most retail boxes now a days.
Very nice video. Don't know if I would've ripped but glad to see what was inside. Erik "Gambler" Jabs!
Look on the bright side...by ripping that one open you just increased the value of the ones that are still pristine. =)
Fun to watch you open that, thanks for sharing!
Hey at least you had the fun of ripping it. Life is to short to worry about the small stuff.
A John Wathan mini would've been hilarious !
Fun little bonus to the product
Worth a shot! Thanks for ripping and sharing.
Fun video. Bummer on not getting any autos. Have fun at the National.
These rip cards are pretty cool. I hope they keep them for future series.
I’m a Cal Ripken enthusiast if you haven’t sold it yet. Awesome video just started watching them!
Out of all the boxloader rips I've seen, not one has had minis worth as much as the sealed boxloader.
It was worth it....the cards are all nice. And the video was GREAT....
That Lenny Dykstra SportsFlix card took me way back...

Thanks for Ripping It.
Another good video...glad it was your decision to rip and not mine...oh the pressure
Thanks for dipping and ripping and saving me a ton of money, Erik.
It's exciting to watch these cards get ripped when they aren't yours. Thanks Erik. Sorry it didn't work out but it made for a great video.
Always rip! The stained glass cards are nice too :)
I am glad you ripped it. It is what you do, bust packs. Awesome fun as always.
Can’t win if you don’t rip! Great vids.
LOL! Rub a little bit and you can see the number.
Hahah amazing
Bye bye $225....but it was fun aye.
The stain glass looks super cool tho.
This wasn’t even my card and I was stressed out as you were ripping it. Sorry you didn’t pull any autos Erik, but that’s still a nice stain glass Kershaw. Safe travels to the National!
This was fun to watch, please rip more of these on camera for us!
Hey brother!!! Gotta take a shot every now and then!!! Nice roll of the dice!!! Great video as always!
Things happen, but overall was fun to watch you rip the card. Honestly, I woulda ripped it too. But good job on saving the front!
If I pulled one of these I wouldn't be able to resist ripping it!
No pain no gain. Loved it.
Wow Erik that was crazy and fun. I probably would have sold the card with my luck. Lol
Thanks for doing these videos and keeping us into the hobby!
Just sold a Rosario mini stained glass for $20. Those are really nice to look at.
Great video!! I was a nervous as you was opening that card. I would have opened it too. It’s just baseball cards. Have fun with them.
Thanks for sharing!! God Bless!!

Where do these triple rip cards come from? Just regular hobby boxes?.
Use a bright flashlight in a dark room and you can see who's in them before you open them.
Nice Kershaw!
Great video & enjoyed the anticipation.
Those are pretty awesome rip cards! ❤️🇺🇸
Awesome video Erik
This was just insane, that's how they get you on this stuff, great video, its all about the luck when it comes to the rip it or keep it card.....
Watching your vids makes me want to get back into collecting
Men, It was painful watching you rip that beautiful Ripken card🤯🤣
Oh the choices.... I do like those stained glass cards though! If it was the Griffey Jr I couldn’t rip it....
Great videos! Im in Wednesday's break!
It was worth the risk. Very rare opportunity - I would have opened it too!
From all the openings I have seen around the interwebs, the choice has been unanimous ..... DON'T RIP IT!!
eBay asking prices are a poor yardstick; glad you went to actual sales. I really dislike the RIP cards, a very low yield gamble overall.
Hey Erik I will trade you for that Big Hurt mini. Look forward to seeing you at the National.
Went down swinging on a full count but I say you still have to swing!!
Why do you have a Lenny Dykstra card readily available?
Enjoy national. Looking forward to the videos from there/the recaps
I started collecting this rip cards..hopefully they will hold their value and be worth something in 20 + years
Jabs, keep looking forward to nationals. No harm in going for the win. As usual, well made video. Thanks for the content!
That Kershaw is really nice
I'm a big gambler but there's no chance I'd be able to take that gamble. I do really like that you did it for the video though!
That’s a nice looking kershaw card
Omg 36.5k you’re a legend continue your work and good videos love them!!!!
tip : high numbered rip cards will never have anything good most of the time. they have to be numbered 10 or less for the autos mot of the time
Scared money dont make money. You made the right call here Jabs. PMA
I would have been okay with that. Kersh is my fav. Love him.
Wow. These cards are just crazy.
I'll buy the ripken, I PC him specifically. I dont care that its ripped, displayed it looks perfect and still has the numbering on it
Sucks that u didn’t get an auto but thanks for opening for the community. Great content as always.
Isn't there a website where you can look up what cards have already been found in rips and figure out if it is even worth ripping any other cards?
That is a tough choice! After seeing many of this rip cards ripped, they are a RIP!
I love Allen&Ginter!
Those were sick cards
I would take a ripped Ripken any day!!!
My wife loves Buster Posey. She's new to the hobby and has a rather large Buster Posey collection. That Posey would be a great addition to her collection!
That Kershaw has a chance to do $100 or more! That Brett is a SSP its a solid hit! You could still be able to sell the Ripken and Thomas.....make sure you post it as came from a RIP card it should do quite well! Keep up the awesome content!
womp womp womp I was hoping for something like a printing plate or something lol but that kershaw is still cool I would keep it
$50 for the Brett? Where did you get that price at?
AHH, 97-98 ZENITH HOCKEY LOVED THESE. But only got one card. A Gretzky Z Gold /100 goes for over 1,000.
Not a bad choice Erik...sometimes the temptation out weighs the value, I would have done the same hoping for that fire hit.
Don’t feel down, it was a real cool video!
The one rip card I ever pulled had a mini wood 1/1 in it of.. someone on the Astros that I can't remember right now. So, cool, but not really cool.
Yeah, guess not that cool if you can't remember him.
Do you still have the mini cards? I would truly enjoy them. Thanks 🙏
