Love the vids Fun Fact Jose Alvarado is a good friend of mine we went to middle school together. Great guy till this day and he always still comes to our old school park all the time and hangs with us all super humble guy.
Took your advice and ripped 3 Megas and found 6 numbered with one being a gold ice and 2 autos.. I personally think they look pretty sweet and have a good feel to them. Appreciate the content my man
This is one of the best channels on youtube. I love the value breakdowns! I love the humor, what a great product you produce....Avid watcher here, awesome video! Love from Santa Cruz, California! The original retail sports card jungle!
That's more than generous my friend. 🙏 Juat trying to make semi entertaining and slightly less run of the mill content out here while doing something I love.
@@huxbux I opened 3 blaster boxes of Phoenix Basketball yesterday and got 1 Victor Wembanyama, 1 numbered auto (Paul Reed /99), 2 numbered cards (1 was a RC - Jarace Walker /275), and 12 parallels (10 were Lazer Prizm &2 were Silver Prizm). FYI
Another great video review Hux! My 2 Scheel's Megas are due this week so I'm excited to give them a look first hand! I wanted to order more but having a hard time spending that much when I can order a Hobby for $270. I'm on the fence on what to order. Thanks for the show and GL on your next rip!
If you've got $275 to spend, I'd def be going hobby route. With hobby prices coming down some, you'd think retail would follow. Doesn't seem to be the case atm.
Way to go with all your hits, congratulations 🎊 👏 🎉on all the numbered cards and the auto card. Really like the blue 🧊 💙 .super fun watching 👀 your video. Thanks for sharing this video 👍 💯
Man, keep up the mad rips and the family guy/funny cuts 😂😂😂. Again, mad advice and thanks 🙏. Ordered a box bc my daughter begged me for her birthday... $150 AUD ($101 USD 🤦😭). Snagged 4 packs of hobby ($300 AUD 🤯), but got 5 numbered including a signature, 1 non-number and 3 RC's. 🤞🙏🤞🙏🤞 the overpriced mega treats her nice. Keep up the great vids man, extremely entertaining 😎😂👌.
I said this in another video but I pulled a red ice paragon wemby, an orange ice /249 jalen duren and an Amir Coffey AUTO from my very first mega lol my very first basketball cards as well. Pulled a teal lazer Shawn kemp/paul pierce today from a blaster
Thanks for the breakdown and ratings! Your videos are very helpful determining if I want to buy retail, hobby or none. For the record I don’t really buy hobby cause usually over priced in my opinion. Would you prefer a mega box like the first one with 3 number cards or the second one with an auto if given the choice? Also so you recommend one hobby box versus 5 mega boxes? Thanks for sharing!
Good to hear. Truly. First question, id much rather have the 3 #'d cards vs 1 auto. Higher potential for a big card like a Wemby. Second question, Id also much rather open 1 hobby vs 5 Megas.
I sent a big batch to COMC and the date they said they’ll be up by is early January since I did the cheap option. Since they do everything I hope it’ll be easier but time will tell. Doing lower value cards myself on eBay over and over seemed like too much. Ripping boxes I get a lot of cards that do nothing for me but maybe they do for someone else. Always curious what people do with their cards.
I use a feed scanner and card dealer pro. So I can list cards pretty quick. If your taking pictures and doing everything through ebay to list, I could see COMC being a great option for lower value cards. Probably what I'd do.
@milo073 Retail can be rough. I generally recommend that if you're planning on opening a fair amount of retail, to just get a hobby box for the price of 5-6 Megas, you can buy a Phoenix hobby box.
Hey everyone! Are the Phoenix Megas better than the blasters? Let's find out. Enjoy!

Thank you, sir 🙏
I was waiting for this video. Thanks for the review!
And I present 🫠 Thanks for watching my dude!
Always enjoy the detailed reviews 🔥
I appreciate that!
Great video
Just bought a box today! Scored a Genies Scoot! woooo!!
Seemed like a decent rip!
Nice work as always and nice pulls
Love your videos. Keep up with the cool 😎 videos.
I don’t mind long videos. If the content is good then I’m in no rush to get into another video. Keep up the great work.
Not too bad. Beautiful cards.
Cool cards.. awesome breakdown.. thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I just picked up one of these today... Might grab a few more. Great video, sir!
Not a product I'd go ham on. Fun rip tho.
Appreciate the review. I did order one Mega box from Target and should get it next week. No exclusive Target cards FYI
Goodluck on your box!

That Fade to Black Wemby had this whole rip Poppin’!! Let’s see if box 2 has as much Poppin’ as box 1!
Just ordered one from Scheels, thanks for the tip! Can't beat $50 for a mega.
Just can't. I saw Target put there's up today for $65! Yikes!
The white ice looks nice. There is definitely more color in the Megas.
Enjoy the rest of your day and stay safe.
I'm love the white parallels this year in just about every set. Such a clean parallel.
lets gooo!!!!
Can’t wait to see them on shelves
Would think in the next 2-3 weeks.
Nice vid.
Megas all day!🎉😅
Dude congrats on the 6k+ 🎉
Decent pulls. I like Phoenix a lot. One of my personal favorites.
P.S. did a viewer call you a t*** waffle? 😆

Another great video & breakdown.......These megas seem to be loaded or not loaded......
Kinda the story of 2023 retail.
I said this in another video but I pulled a red ice paragon wemby, an orange ice /249 jalen duren and an Amir Coffey AUTO from my very first mega lol my very first basketball cards as well. Pulled a teal lazer Shawn kemp/paul pierce today from a blaster
I just left target they had them for $64.99 a mega box
It's almost criminal 😑
@@huxbux I'm glad I bought a composite mega instead
A wise choice
I'm a big fan of blasters as I'm on a fixed income. The sage mega was worth 30 bucks though! Got a signed Jaydon Daniels!
Congrats! Nice pull!
This panini product is a one box purchase for me.

The megas are better then the blasters for sure
Decent pulls. Ya that temple men insert is just odd.
I want that Stockton
That's going to the PC
Whats a good source to see the value of nba cards? Aside from ebay
130point.com is a site that looks at sales across multiple platforms. Market movers and csrd ladder are good too. All look at past sales.
One other tip I’ve seen from others and it happened to me too. If you see a Barkley, you’ll see wembley
Good to know. I honestly don't look for collation as much as I should.
What was the name of the store that you had purchased these from? I thought you said shales
Scheels? Honestly, I'm not entirely certain how to pronounce it. Their not in my area.

we need to bring back coach cards for basketball
Might be better than some of the retired players they jam in
You prefer selling on EBay over COMC?
I don't have experience selling on COMC. It seems to me if time is an issue listing and shipping, it's a great option for cards.
Blue Eyes White Dragon
Anyone else getting straight red rookies
Not a bad auto.
I'll take a NBA championship auto all day.
Retail is so painful
64.99 at target i’m confused i had red ice cards in mine
Target or Excel is red ice. Comes with 4 more parallels and more cards I believe. Hence the increased cost.
@@huxbux only one number card and it was a nobody

got a mega pulled a wembley base that’s all
I should’ve bought the premium stock boxes but now selling 3x is sad
I think everyone shares that sentiment 😑
also, side note
I will be buying that Derozan temple men card. It’s sick as fuck and ima derozan fan
I'm passing on these fo sho
If this product came out sooner it definitely would be selling for 70-80 resale. They milked the hell out of wemby lol.
Not blue is purple. So much better looking color match with purple
Tough value.
Great video, hope I win
They're going to keep dropping 2023-24 basketball sets into 2025 since the next rookie class has pretty much no one 😂.
On paper, it's not a strong class. Someone will emerge I suspect.
If you grade with PSA these boxes definitely have value!
Will you send me something to rip? Biden's economy ruined my life and I can't afford cards anymore. 😞
NOMAH has hairier arms.
