The fanatics blasters I think might be the best format followed by hangers. Regular blasters and mega boxes are garbage.
I think a base Dylan Crews was the best I got. Also, I feel like our definition of good in the hobby is different
Big hobby accomplishment for me. I ripped a blaster of Prizm, and in it was a base Caleb Williams. This is big because in the 4-5 years since I got back into the hobby, Prizm(hell, almost Panini as a whole) has always bent me over the table. Regardless of sport. So here's to hoping this means I'll get something neat in the target hanger box I ordered.
Someone will need to explain to me why a card of Gerrit Cole in a Yankees uniform looking like CC Sabathia is a score.
Ordered a retail box of 2024 NFL Prizm from Dicks Sporting goods for $120. Saw a decent amount of people were getting decent cards out of them. This will be the first sealed product I’ve ripper in probably a year. Hoping I don’t get skunked and all my hits are retired players or old vets who are washed up.
Just get rid of retired players and coaches at least. I also don’t get why inserts are not valued, I have a Binder I keep of just inserts and parallels and I think some of those are better cards than a green base card.
I actually enjoy when a coach gets his Prizm "rookie." I've picked up a few Matt LaFleurs already. That said, not sure Tom Flores really needed a card this year. Definitely agree on the retired players. Vince Ferragamo never needs another Prizm card.
Is all aces in topps a case hit now? I always loved the insert but it looks fancier this year and prices are high
I'm thinking about grabbing one of those all aces Jobe. Odd I don't think he has a base card but he has autos and an all aces
Another odd choice is Jackson Chourio doesn't have a base card but he's one of the rookie gold cup guys.
I ordered a box. After I ordered it I realized the checklist is all rookies and FORMER players. Of fucking course.
Watched a Series 1 hobby case break tonight, that had two supers. Non auto Logan O'Hoppe Auto Jace Jung RC Case also had a Skenes golden mirror, an Elly blakata (or whatever that ssp insert is called), a true photo, and at least one /5 card. No Frank Thomas no names or autos though, because I had the White Sox, and fuck me.
Base Nix rookie, Nix rookie refractor, base Caleb rookie, Nabers Finesse insert refractor, thought I had a gold Bowers BUT NOPE gold Tommy Eichenberg rookie auto /50 Spoiler
Got this out of a Topps Hobby. Cant figure out what the equipment/uniform is from, feels like plywood. Also got this /5 Jeremey Pena City Connect relic.
Topps Chrome football looks like shit unlicensed pro cards will always be meh at best Prizm licensed non-auto 2024 QB rookie stuff will hold way better than Chrome rookie autos Pelican that said, awesome box. I like that you’re newish to the hobby and just rip, post, and pray. Reminds me of what the hobby should be.
I’ve seen a few on eBay that are on-card but I think it’s just one of the insert autos or whatever. It was Stephen Davis or some random vet.
