I stopped buying cards 6 months ago. It’s out of control. I never went into it trying to make money but this is so bad right now. Breakers and re sellers have ruined it for us regular guys
@@carramrod8232 I'm right there with ya but stopped buying them about a year ago, and stopped buying singles 6-7 months ago. It's crazy how expensive it got, but we only have ourselves to blame.
Usually, consumers will help reset the market by not purchasing. But with breakers buying so much product, Topps and Panini have no reason to change. Great video!
Let me tell you what ? You completely right !!! But The stupid people who buy teams on Breaks are the ones make Topps and Panini Rich - and ALso make Breaker rich !!! If they spent 100$ on 1 team ,,why don't just use that 100 to buy a box or 2 to open.... Breakers make so much moneyyy
I guess we were spoiled when we opened the first Premium stock with all the numbered cards. I had to buy my box on the secondary market for $300. But it was well worth it I got a Giannis Hoopa La numbered to 25 and a Paolo Banchero auto to 75 and Victor Whemby attack the rack numbered to 88. Best retail boxes ever! Great video! 🙂
I got a good hit on the select football megas and packs but where these at? I don't know if they had them at Walmart or Meijer blasters hangers or Megas but they never had any of them by me. are these just Target exclusive or something
For price point, opening any modern boxes are a huge gamble. Rip and collect for the love first and foremost. I enjoyed this product and did well from my breaks. It is what it is.
What do you do with your Base cards ?? I have been rippin a lot more and have no idea what to do with the base... starting to take over my office area.. lol
Wish more than 1 company could buy the licenses so that way the companies compete against each other. Retail prices and hobby box prices are ridiculous.
Been collecting since 2021......2025 in a month not even......I have NEVER seen ANY "Football Retail Products" UNDER $50/$60!!!!!! NOW 'SOME MEGAS" ARE UP TOO $65 (BEFORE TAX) SO OUT THE DOOR AROUND ALMOST $70 A MEGA!!! IS CRIMINAL!!!!!!!!!! (PHOENIX BASKETBALL) (JUST A BUNCH STILL SITTING ON THE SHELVES FOR THE PAST TWO/THREE WEEKS) 😂😂😂😂 & (PREMIUM STOCK MEGAS GOING FOR THE SAME ($65 BEFORE TAX !! OUT THE DOOR @ ALMOST $70) !!!!! FOR A "RETAIL MEGA BOX WITH LESS CARDS AND NO "GUARANTEED HITS" !?!?!? THEY HAVE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CHOICE BUT TO "LOWER" 2024/25 BASKETBALL BECAUSE IT IS ONE OF THE WORST DRAFT CLASSES IN THE PAST 10 YEARS & NOBODY!!!!!!!!! IS PAYING THOSE PRICES ($70 AFTER TAX ALMOST A MEGA BOX RETAIL FOR THE 2024/25 N.B.A DRAFT CLASS 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 CHURCH!!!!! (YOU TUBE CHANNEL 👇) (T@vikings88420) Thank ALL OF YOU FOR "SUBSCRIBING"!!! IT'S 100% FREE TO YOU!!!!! 😊😉😊 God Bless you all for helping me & my up & coming channel!!!! LOTS of 2023 Football and basketball to open still so you're NOT!!! Going to want to miss out on ANY of these up and coming videos so thank you ALL!! & have a God Blessed day!!! 💪💙👏😊👑📣🥇💯🤞✌️
Have you done Elite basketball the packs with 12 per pack ? I watched another channel do them and he hit autos and Gold to 10 and numbered to 88 like crazy
profit on any product is up to chance. If you are cheap like me you learn patience and look for deals. This year the Topps boxes from Costco was best I found so I bought 10 and opened one at a time. I also like to buy collections at garage sales and auctions (for the right price) and spend time sorting through them. None of this is very profitable but its fun enough. I watch other people open all the new stuff.
I bought a couple blasters this week and I pulled a Stephen Curry numbered card and Amen Thompson sheesh and that's pretty much it but all in all you had a few hits thanks for sharing and better luck in future rips and thanks for sharing.
Drunk shopped? Damn!! You got money for 21 boxes!?!? That's like over a thousand dollars!!!??.......Can I get a Job working for you/with you !?!? For real!!!!
Another amazing video my friend🔥🔥🔥🤜 I was wondering about these boxes as they have been on the Target app and haven’t pulled the trigger on them. I appreciate it the reviews as always❤️
Not as good as the big boxes but that's understandable but still not a terrible rip. What pannini is doing for basketball has been a complete 180 for lots of the products its a big 50/50 this year compared to the like 1/99😂
I've yet to get ice insert, then in 1 box all the rising stars rookies ice. Annoying for sure. Ps every pod rising stars silver has the same print line! 😂
Nice rip, but you said the key = sure, the ceiling is high... BUT THE BUY-IN IS JUST AS HIGH! And there is the kicker! Low buy-high ceiling = worth it (I get to an extent) however we're not there, Panini! Awesome vid as always, bro zeppi.
All I can say is that I’m looking forward to the show tomorrow brotha. That rip wasn’t great but I always love seeing the premium stock cards regardless.
You’re right if your trying to rip to make money at these retail and hobby prices, coupled with increased print runs. You might as well go to a casino and play a slot machine
Man I remember buying target prizm megas for $60 and now they expect me to pay almost $70 for a phoenix, premium stock, mosaic megas?? Like at least with prizm if you pull a Wemby back then it would pay for your box, now it would pay for about a quarter of your box but if you pull a mosaic wemby yeah that'll pay for a gallon of gas. Great vid as always though my man!!
Thanks for taking the hit for us again. At least you get TH-cam revenue to make up for the Panini rip off. I will be cancelling my 12 box pre order from Walmart now. You're the best!
Gonna open a couple of these, but unless I hit a gold vinyl 1 of 1. I’m gonna stick to blasters 🤣. I can send you pics of it, just tell me where to send.
Fun rip, but just shows that buying Prizm and Select (With a rookie like Wemby) is the only logical way to rip with any hope of getting your money back.
Kinda got me worried about my 3x3 of premium stock Blasters and Megas I'm sitting on. I haven't ripped anything in months so hopefully I'll have a little luck built up🤷🏽♂️
Panini saw everyone coming from a mile away with these boxes after all the breaker and influencer hype on the Premium Boxes, they wasn't even going to release a mega box format but the Premium boxes did so good they released mega boxes to dump all there leftover printed cards on us, and we fell for it line and sinker lol I know I burned $350 bucks on these! SMH
I tried to follow the link you put up for whatnot but I couldn't get it to work I really needed that 15 $ bc I'm poor I can't afford blaster boxes but I like watching your videos
Hi Sky, Thanks for your rip this morning. The premium boxes are the only way to go! How are you feeling today? I know how difficult it is to have a sinus infection. No sleep very much. Feel better soon my friend. Hope that you have a wonderful Whatnot livestream this Saturday! Get Girl Dragon and Sammy Boy to help you sleep! Take care and don’t overdo it. Much love brother, Peter
I almost bought 2 of them last night I'll pass. I like the Sam's club boxes much more value in those. Hit a /10 gold and a bunch of numbered cards and autos.
I still love the way this product looks. Super fun rip, just know you are gonna lose money and probably not get a good player in a numbered card or auto.
I bought 2 of the Target ones, and pulled that SSP Net Marvels Wemby and Iced Wemby in one box. It was WILD! edit* I do think if anyone does buy the megabox though to get the Target one over the others since it comes with 60 cards as opposed to 50 so you're gonna have better odds.
The first box was a little bit of a scam, a signed nick Richard’s and rookie wemby was all. But those were some okay pulls skyb! (Can’t wait for the whatnot!)
Number card doesn't make up the $65 price. Not sure when numbered cards became desirable. Low number I get but any numbered card is ridiculous to get excited for. Especially a no name. Same with autos. Who cares if you pull a $20 auto out of hundred of dollars spent. Just a gamble. Lottery is cheaper and an immediate payout
I think they are over charging because the next two years of NBA draft classes are horrible, and they know we won’t buy those boxes for even under retail, so Panini is charging as much as they can for retail so they can prepare for this NBA drought that’s about to happen. Also they are riding on the Wemby hype like crazy. I get it tho, try buying a MegaBox of Lukas Rookie year right now, an Optic Mega is going for $350 😅
The premium boxes is where it was at. The Sam's club boxes were garbage and I expect the mega boxes will be the same. It's took bad too. They can afford to hook up the boxes for the price point they sell them at
BUY THE SAM’S CLUB BOXES AGAIN. Trust me they are LOOOADED. Multiple 1 of 1s Case Hits and so much numbered for like $45 and I’ve opened around 70 boxes so it’s not just luck.
Those don’t seem good at all. Obviously the premium box is far superior but even the bundle from Sam’s club with the oversized card seems way better aswell. I’ve seen a good amount of golds to 10 from them tbh
It is criminal what they're doing however we're letting them do it and we're paying still...

I just hope I can find one of the topps holiday formats. I like to put together the set every year.
best card channel on youtube for sure
Are these better then blasters ?
Slightly haha

Gotta start waking up at 5 am for these vids!
What do you do with your Base cards ?? I have been rippin a lot more and have no idea what to do with the base... starting to take over my office area.. lol
I have a pile of empty boxes filled with base cards lol
@@Helden_Daddy Do people typically just toss the base ?
once youve been collecting for long enough, base cards start going right into the trashcan.
Donate them to a "Childrens Hospital" !!?!??......😉😊🙄😊
Wish more than 1 company could buy the licenses so that way the companies compete against each other. Retail prices and hobby box prices are ridiculous.
the first one I was waiting. I love your channel.
You are greatly appreciated 😎😎
Agree with you dude, $40 mega boxes were awesome
15$-20$ megas were phenomenal, especially baseball. Most ppl dont know about that tho.

Pulled a Jalen Brunson/15 blue parallel. How much does this type of card go for ???
Wow, high risk? That's why I am on hold and really trying to pay attention to who pulls what. Premium usually has hits ??
The mega boxes and blasters are definitely hard to get good pulls from
Hey sky i mostly collect football cards and wanna collect basket ball cards got any tips
Who's your favorite player / team?
Wemb and the the lakers
Also do you have any tips on getting hobby boxes for cheap
Last thing i just sent you an offer for the gridiron kings jayden daniels
Youre right, criminal.... if I haven't gotten 5 case hits in the wild I'd be really pissed lol but only 1 was in mega
Have you done Elite basketball the packs with 12 per pack ? I watched another channel do them and he hit autos and Gold to 10 and numbered to 88 like crazy
You are literally the best in my opinion bro!! Keep up the good work!!
Can't wait to see these Megas ripped! I have 18 coming from DSG!
What is "D.S.G"?...... 🤔🤨🤔🤨🤷♂️🙄🤨🤔
@vikings88420 DSG stands for Dicks Sporting Goods!

Of the 24 class I really do think Zaccharie Risacher could develop to be very good. Not confident on Alex Sarr
Yeah these prices are getting crazy. Got lucky the other day and target did an online restock for Topps chrome update got my box for 49.99
Apparently the Target ones are a bit better, fingers crossed as I drunk shopped for 21 boxes last night LOL!
Drunk shopped? Damn!! You got money for 21 boxes!?!? That's like over a thousand dollars!!!??.......Can I get a Job working for you/with you !?!? For real!!!!
Haven’t even watched the video yet, I knew this was going to be a banger just from the thumbnail.
Appreciate you always bro💪🔥
Another amazing video my friend🔥🔥🔥🤜 I was wondering about these boxes as they have been on the Target app and haven’t pulled the trigger on them. I appreciate it the reviews as always❤️
Target charging $65 for these is borderline criminal activity, at that price I'd definitely pass personally
Appreciate you though bro🙏
Good luck brother , hope all is well !
That first premium stock vid was unreal
Love your videos! I work every Saturday so I haven’t been able to get in on the giveaways but it’s cool how much you giveaway.
Not as good as the big boxes but that's understandable but still not a terrible rip. What pannini is doing for basketball has been a complete 180 for lots of the products its a big 50/50 this year compared to the like 1/99😂
Couldn't of said it better myself bro😂 i agree 100%!
I've yet to get ice insert, then in 1 box all the rising stars rookies ice. Annoying for sure. Ps every pod rising stars silver has the same print line! 😂
Hey Sky 👋. Love the videos. Watch you everyday. Keep up with the cool 😎 videos.
Are you gonna be at the show in Chicago?
When is it?
@@skybcards this Friday Saturday and Sunday
Around here, I can’t get good boxes. I hope I win the giveaway.
Notice the on card auto?
Pulled a Wemby Presentations Prizm from a blaster the other day
Nice rip, but you said the key = sure, the ceiling is high... BUT THE BUY-IN IS JUST AS HIGH! And there is the kicker! Low buy-high ceiling = worth it (I get to an extent) however we're not there, Panini! Awesome vid as always, bro zeppi.
I got one off Walmart, terrible until the last pack and got a retro marvel Jamie rc
All I can say is that I’m looking forward to the show tomorrow brotha. That rip wasn’t great but I always love seeing the premium stock cards regardless.
You’re right if your trying to rip to make money at these retail and hobby prices, coupled with increased print runs. You might as well go to a casino and play a slot machine

Like cards boxes kinda rough that price .wish they go back old price 40 or 50 most
Man I remember buying target prizm megas for $60 and now they expect me to pay almost $70 for a phoenix, premium stock, mosaic megas??

🤞🤞🤞🤞
Great video!
Thanks!
Great looking cards
Hope your luck turns around Sky. Good luck
These are a bit better than blasters. Appreciate your videos as always! Have a great Friday man
nice pulls dude!
An ok rip.. I agree on buying premium before these.. that sucks.. but ty for sharing anyway...happy rippin!!
Should be the last 23-24 basketball product.. sad to see this very collectable season end! 🔥
I'm surprised there isn't chronicles basketball this year
Pretty decent looking cards though! I wish the prices go down though, cause Fanatics has all the players rights for AUTOS!
It’s was from last video but I like prestige over mosaic all day long.
Ur the best my man my dude ur the legend keep up the good work
The Cooper Flagg chases are coming 😏
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for taking the hit for us again. At least you get TH-cam revenue to make up for the Panini rip off. I will be cancelling my 12 box pre order from Walmart now. You're the best!
Just saying my thanks. Stay up B.🙏✊🙌🇺🇸
Appreciate that a ton bro💪

Morning hope ur weekend goes well an tomorrow even better 4 ya peace out
Now Walmart is charging $480 for the premium stock boxes…criminal
Do you think they made that first run so good knowing they will hook people into buying the crap to come
Fun rip, but just shows that buying Prizm and Select (With a rookie like Wemby) is the only logical way to rip with any hope of getting your money back.
Kinda got me worried about my 3x3 of premium stock Blasters and Megas I'm sitting on. I haven't ripped anything in months so hopefully I'll have a little luck built up🤷🏽♂️
When are they gonna release products for this season? Wemby was a fun chase but i wanna see some new faces. I wanna see a Bronny chase 😅
Panini saw everyone coming from a mile away with these boxes after all the breaker and influencer hype on the Premium Boxes, they wasn't even going to release a mega box format but the Premium boxes did so good they released mega boxes to dump all there leftover printed cards on us, and we fell for it line and sinker lol I know I burned $350 bucks on these! SMH
I hit 3 cracked ice Wembys, net marvel Luka, and 3 numbered bs in 4 boxes…. 🤷♂️ and 4 base Wembys. Oh city silver Wemby too.
Totally agree releasing the premium boxes first at 130, to then do megas and blasters at there prices is just annoying. Thanks for the rip
Did youtube giveaway already happen?
My guy is legit af....picking up the shipping costs for his giveaways...NO ONE else does that period!
I tried to follow the link you put up for whatnot but I couldn't get it to work I really needed that 15 $ bc I'm poor I can't afford blaster boxes but I like watching your videos
I've watched trophy cases flying out of these
Best buy 50 meg 30 blast
Tough rip but thanks for posting it.
Hi Sky,

Cool my friend. Keep up with the great videos and rips. Hello from the rising sun Japan and from the hospital and kids. 🎉🎉
Thank you brother I'll definitely continue making videos 🙏🙏 tell the kids I hope they're feeling better!
I almost bought 2 of them last night I'll pass. I like the Sam's club boxes much more value in those. Hit a /10 gold and a bunch of numbered cards and autos.
/10 gold is wild, who was it?
@skybcards it was Peyton Watson Denver Nuggets. I'll send pics if your on twitter
6/10 gold prism ausar t rookie sig....print scratch. Blaster
I still love the way this product looks. Super fun rip, just know you are gonna lose money and probably not get a good player in a numbered card or auto.
Sky, you gotta save some wax from Wemby year! I’m not gonna watch nipping next class lol
I've ripped these not sure how worth it they are
Way to expensive. But I wouldn't mind opening a couple. Thanks for the video brotha!!
Yikes! Fire the cannons!!
The cannons are set and ready for launch 😂
Would you recommend?
Would you?

Picked up a mega box from Dicks for 48 bucks because I had $10 off so not bad, the only thing that sucks it it won't be here until December 😂
The fact that those boxes are 65 is criminal. Nice silver wemby's
The premium boxes is where it was at. The Sam's club boxes were garbage and I expect the mega boxes will be the same. It's took bad too. They can afford to hook up the boxes for the price point they sell them at
