I'd say the best thing about blasters is that they are affordable. Not everyone is willing to spend a huge amount on a hobby box although I have spent a decent amount on various boxes because I collect a wide variety of trading cards. Sometimes you just want to pick up some cheap packs and see what you find to add to the collection. I've gotten decent hits from blasters from both ufc and nhl but not on the level that you would get from a hobby box. Blasters are great for people that are low on cash or that just want to add to their collection though, especially since other ufc boxes get pretty expensive. Hopefully the hits get better as they release more sets. Loved the video though. Just started collecting again not too long ago and the types of cards can get confusing so finding out what the different cards look like and are called definitely helps. Sports cards have changed so much from the way they used to be.
I agree, but I’ve gotta let people know that the best cards don’t come from these. And they come from hobby. There’s always ways of buying single packs and breaks where you’re not actually buying the full hobby box. Just be careful because it can add up. I appreciate you stopping by and commenting Brotha! I’m here every Monday opening UFC card and multiple other times a week doing other UFC content. 🙏👊🤙
Thanks again for the work you do on this channel. i was going to buy a case until i watched ur vid. I have pulled a Strickland rookie green pulsar and Tasuro out of the blasters and a shavkat rookie silver. I guess i will buy a hobby instead.
If they dont really have ayntjing in them which boxes are the ones to buy? Also what do you do with the cards you dont want and dont got value? I want to start but dont really know how haha
Hobby is always the way to go, Little to be had in blasters. With my base cards. I just make the full base set in a binder. The extras, I give away or put in storage.
Just because it happened once, you can’t expect that every time. You’re going to be really disappointed if you think they hit even 1/3 of the time. They’re pretty rough. Thanks for stopping by. 🙏
@TheGoldenOctagon I've opened about 20 blasters of them this year and that with a couple other smaller cards have been my only hits. But the Hasbulla is a massive hit, all I'm saying is the hits are their but if you get one or not that's another story. But that's the hobby as a whole for any sport, you could pull a $10,000 card or totally bust. That's the fun in it 👍🏻.
Yo G.O love your videos man. Been a fan of UFC for a while and you inspired me to start collecting cards ! Just curious what do you do with the base cards ? You must have alot laying around lol
I usually just keep sets together and put them away in storage boxes. Occasionally I’ll get them out for people looking for base or giveaways. But you’re right. I’ve got a ton of base cards.
retail has been excellent for me mostly & i dont buy singles cause the way i see it there always going to be cards that i would love to have whether its ufc, wwe, nba, nfl, & even pokemon but i know i pull it i wont
The 2023 blasters aren’t available from UK sellers yet it’s so annoying bro Great video btw man you’re one of the few people who I actually enjoy watching open boxes
These boxes are honestly a waste of money you don’t get nothing good barely any rookies a good hit would be a rookie cracked ice or green but they barely come up
Hate how Prizm really devalued cracked ice this year making them blaster exclusives instead of hobby chasers. We'll see of Select steps up their blaster game like they did last year and save my retail money for those. Prizm blasters = hard pass! Great vid G.O., thanks for looking out for new UFC collectors as always 👊
Yeah, the select blasters last year had HEAT! I’m curious how they’re doing autos this year. Raul Rosas 1st auto will be in Donruss. I’m hoping they throw Shavkat in select. That’ll make me buy 🤣
its too bad they didnt go the same route as the Optic 2022 football blasters that just came out. Everyone is raving about them. People are pulling downtowns like every 10 boxes it seems. They added a new case hit too, Blazers, there is so much color and autos in the blasters people are wondering why to even buy the hobby boxes. I would buy a ton of the UFC if it was similar.
Got a green pulsar Usman /25 out of a 23 blaster yesterday. Didn’t expect much but was surprised by that pull
Definitely a good pull from one of these.
I think I’m going to get a tattoo that says “Buy Hobby”
Right an your wrist. Visible in EVERY video 🤣
What’s your thoughts on hanger packs vs blasters ?
There are no UFC Prizm Hanger packs. Only blasters
Just pulled my first green pulsar Calvin Kattar.. I was pumped
Nice!
I’ve had a ton of luck getting an autograph every 3 packs in the chronicles 2023 packs at target. 5 autos, 10 packs bought
I’ve got videos of the new 23 chronicles blasters. They’re pretty good. But not all blasters are equal
Ahh yes to end the night some good tips let’s see what it has in shop tonight good luck
Thanks for stopping by! 🙏🙏🙏

The bro has a very Soothing voice
😅 that’s a first. I get the complaint that I talk too much 🤣. 🙏👊🤙
Just waiting :)
Just a little early 😅
Just pulled a green pulsar /25 jiri prozachka or however tf you spell it today
Close enough. Good card! 👌🔥
Great video 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
🙏🙏🙏

Yeah, prizm blaster are really tough to get good stuff. Sounds like your luck already hit with them 😅
Your pulls were crazy gor the first box🔥👏
Awesome, content bro! Opened 4 blasters in total so far and got a Johnny walker auto and a green /25 JDM which I think is a pretty good hit 😊
JDM is definitely a 🔥 hit!
If they dont really have ayntjing in them which boxes are the ones to buy?
Also what do you do with the cards you dont want and dont got value? I want to start but dont really know how haha

@@TheGoldenOctagon I'm new. Was thinking about going to get a prizm but at the same time want some value with them. How much are hobby boxes?
Idk of the top of my head. Google will be your best friend. Roughly $250
Also, you don’t HAVE to buy boxes. Check out eBay for single cards at good prices, that’ll also give you an idea of what things are worth $ wise.
i love the new ufc mat ☝🏼
🙏🙏🙏
Blasters are soooo tough. You know I know this bro. Lol
I liked the cracked ice but they are way more common now, so it sorta devalued them.
100% agree! 👊🤙
Buy them, pulled a Hasbulla green pulsar /25 out of one!
Just because it happened once, you can’t expect that every time. You’re going to be really disappointed if you think they hit even 1/3 of the time. They’re pretty rough. Thanks for stopping by. 🙏

Brooooooooo!!!!! Just got my first photon!!!!
Congratulations Brotha! 👊🤙

i was able to pick up 15 '23 blasters for 350 CAD and so far out of 8 boxes i've only pulled a kamaru pulsar
Ouch that’s pretty rough. 🤦♂️
retail has been excellent for me mostly & i dont buy singles cause the way i see it there always going to be cards that i would love to have whether its ufc, wwe, nba, nfl, & even pokemon but i know i pull it i wont
Just pulled a Hasbulla cracked ice and green Matt Brown legendary auto parallel. First ufc I bought in a while 😂
Not too bad for your 1st in a while man. My luck with blasters is usually ass 🤣
I seen someone on whatnot open 2 full cases...not one pulsar & only 1 auto total...pretty tough.
Ouch… but blasters… are blasters 😅🤷♂️
Makes them that much more special! 😅 I hope I get one in my 3rd blaster 🤞🏼
@ufc_card_fiend gunna make if difficult to complete my rainbow 🤷♂️
The 2023 blasters aren’t available from UK sellers yet it’s so annoying bro
Great video btw man you’re one of the few people who I actually enjoy watching open boxes
You’re not missing out on much man, you’ve gotta be super lucky to hit something cool in these. 👊🤙
These boxes are honestly a waste of money you don’t get nothing good barely any rookies a good hit would be a rookie cracked ice or green but they barely come up
Hobby is definitely much better
I like the green Fearless Prizm's
Imo, The fearless is the only insert that’s actually cool this year.
@@TheGoldenOctagon For real.
What’s the name of the background song?
Hey man, you ask this every week, and my response is always the same.
Monkey king FTW!
Auto like button on!!!!! 🚨
Much appreciated! 🙏
I buy mostly retail cause it’s cheaper but finally pulled a Jared Cannonier auto
You could’ve probably saved yourself a ton just buying that single card.
I want to see Matt at least once pull a banger from a blaster box
.00001% chance 🤣
Hate how Prizm really devalued cracked ice this year making them blaster exclusives instead of hobby chasers.
We'll see of Select steps up their blaster game like they did last year and save my retail money for those.
Prizm blasters = hard pass!
Great vid G.O., thanks for looking out for new UFC collectors as always 👊
Yeah, the select blasters last year had HEAT! I’m curious how they’re doing autos this year. Raul Rosas 1st auto will be in Donruss. I’m hoping they throw Shavkat in select. That’ll make me buy 🤣
Pulled an autographed Jake Matthews a few days ago from one of these boxes!
And I was going to buy one. 😅
Yeah, these aren’t the best. 😅
Man another hobby did me dirty, auto was panni points
Bruh, again? I’ve never even seen points in person 😅
Wtf are even panini points lol
Finally hit a downtown!!! Just not ufc lol nfl optic hahaha i always knew i hit a ultra rare in other sports before a ufc downtown lol
Man one of these days we’ll both hit one. 🙏🙏🙏
I'm still happy cuz downtowns are hard to hit and I got it in a nfl optic blaster box
Good Shit Man. 👊
its too bad they didnt go the same route as the Optic 2022 football blasters that just came out. Everyone is raving about them. People are pulling downtowns like every 10 boxes it seems. They added a new case hit too, Blazers, there is so much color and autos in the blasters people are wondering why to even buy the hobby boxes. I would buy a ton of the UFC if it was similar.
I’m just hoping we eventually get there. I don’t think our sport is big enough yet.
My walmart or targets NEVER have them🤬😡😤
Usually mine doesn’t either. I ordered these from target online. 👊🤙
@The Golden Octagon copy that appreciate it! Keep up the great job on your videos my man!
Much appreciated 🙏🙏🙏
It kinda feels almost like a sham that there's so little to go for hits wise in these
100% agree!
I’ve had better hits out of the optic ufc
Yeah, blasters all together aren’t the best. I tell everyone hobby is the way to go.
