I'll buy some here and there, but they've been pricing me out. It just doesn't feel like the value is there when some players will have a million autographs between various sets. What good is an auto if there's zero rarity to it? That's why I've just gone back to buying graded vintage because it just feels like there will always be value there since some cards are getting harder to find in good condition. Fun to rip open a pack or 2 here and there, but spending hundreds on a handful of blasters or a hobby box feels like throwing money away right now.
For real tho. I bought a blaster the other day and after I opened all the packs and quickly went through em I handed the whole stack of cards to my 8 year old son and said have fun buddy. He said I can have your cards and I said yup, have at it. At least he was happy because I was gravely disappointed
That goes for anything panini these days. Back in early 2021 I got back into the hobby when prizm football dropped. I hit a case hit red prizm of Micah Parsons and sold it for $250. I kinda wish I never hit that card now because that got me back into the hobby big time, and it has been fun, but a loosing effort overall. I do have e a couple nice PC Cards tho!
Great video! This video illustrated why you should just buy the singles you like and keep wax sealed as an investment to sell down the road. Imagine the nice $500 single you could have bought.
I feel ya ... I have 2 Walmart's near me and a target and either one stocks the shelves. go in at least 3 times a week and see the same stale stock sitting there only football and basketball very little baseball product.
So long as people keep paying more money for fewer cards there is no reason for the industry to change that pricing trajectory. It'll change when people stop buying.
Man must be nice to have product on the shelf in your area!! I have 3 Wal-Mart's in my area within 40 minutes of each other and they haven't been restocked since Topps series 2 came out!! Enjoy the rip!!!
7:25 I absolutely love archives 2023. Always buy a blaster when I see one, best pull I’ve got was a Orlando Cepeda red 9/10 auto and /50 red foil volpe
Instead of trying to make the bread, you should have bought it on the shelf. Stupid comment, just saw the bread rolls sitting there next to the cards. I love watching your videos.
I live in Tahoe and it's getting cold so I'm getting huge spiders in my place. The big nasty ones with the tentacles up front! Every night before I go to bed I turn my lights off for about ten minutes so the spiders will come out. Then I flip on the light and there are alway 2 or 3 on my walls or ceiling. The trick is to use the vacuum on them. You don't want to use a shoe, miss and then the thing is crawling around while you sleep. I've definitely done that then woken up later with it crawling on my arm.
Also Jabs, for the record, I’ve pulled a clubhouse relic of Jose Ramirez &. Starling Marte auto out of two 2023 Topps Heritage blasters…IMO shelling out $17 over a $90 hobby box, I’ll recommend viewers save the extra $73.
Bobby Witt isn’t a member of the players union, because they screwed his dad, so he can be in panini products. Like how bonds & a rod didn’t have topps cards for a few years
Jabs is really good at this. He could easily be a color commentator for rhe Pirates on the Radio. His knowledge of the players and prospects, his DJ voice, and much more make him perfect for the job😂
Is the Jackson Holliday fun face card in series 2 a myth? I do let spiders live. I’ve had one in the corner above my couch for a year, we don’t bother each other. He’s still around, so he’s earning his rent.
Great video, love the spider cameo bit😂 You are still, by far, the most entertaining ripper out there, tired of these bro rippers talking about krakens and yelling “let’s go!” every hit. You are much appreciated sir!
Pretty sure I saw a Blaze Jordan USA card. If so, can I buy it from Mizzy? He plays for the Sea Dogs and we have season tickets. Would love to have him sign it. Great video. Thanks again.
I get a little board that the cards of the players themselves are not even bothered with anymore only the specials and some better autos in cheaper boxes some stars
All card products...not just retail...are rigged against us. Sure, you can buy a $25 blaster and only get a few bucks of value...but how many $100 hobby products have been opened that only produce $15 of value? Same thing...
Love the video Jabs….Worst part is that they give less cards, as you said $30 into $3 hoping for magic, then the prices are so crazy and if you don’t get a real big hit of a really good player it’s like, let me try n get some value and sell on eBay or auction. I don’t even buy really unless I’m guarantee an auto or multiple. So I go Hobby now, only grab a blaster to just try my luck! Or I just by the card I want plus I been doing grading of what I have with SGC. Go for grading of my better cards and autos!
People don't get mad when you want to sell sportscards and there are no local stores left because you shop Walmart. Go ask Walmart what they will pay for your collection:)
HOLY SHIT MIZZY! I hope you hit! Edit: Dear Mizzy, I doubt you have any idea who I am, but I’ve seen you in some of jabs’ live videos. I want you to know if we ever meet in person I will give you a hug for this video should you choose to accept it. The hug is for the giant L you took in order to give us this movie (and lesson) in buying a ton of retail boxes at your local Walmart. If we never meet just know that my heart goes out to you. You are a genuine trooper. P.S. - the mantle last sold for $25-27. P.P.S - You never told us what the bonus was that you gave mizzy jabs! Don’t leave us hanging!!!
Hi great video as usual but my grandmother who I did not know grew up on a dairy farm in Western Maryland and let a spider live in in the house my mom grew up in and my grandmother named tbe spider Jasper.
Hedge Apple's placed on outside window sills, next to doors, and in the basement window wells will keep spiders from coming inside. Kool videos. Showed me some cards I haven't seen yet. Select is hard buy for me, too. Almost $3 per card. I lose money on about every box, but Select insures the biggest loss.
If you sell, cards only have the value someone is willing to pay, if you are a traditonal collector you get priced out quick, and you typically only pc certain players, so a pack of cards has little value other than what you pc, if you like to rip just to open, then you are literally wasting money these days, because while the odds are good to find something, the return is usually a common numbered/auto, nothing game changing or something anyone would want
Yikes. I got back into collecting cards a few months ago and mistakenly bought at walmart and got totally smoked. I haven't been in a Walmart in awhile. Now I only buy hobby/jumbo format, unless blasters have a better track rate (ie 2023 Bowman and 2023 Topps Chrome)
2022 Archives probably didn't sell because we were being so bombarded with 1987 Topps designs that seeing one more would make us puke. As for Spiders, there's generally one for every 6' per home. Got to remember this includes below the feet, ceiling,
I feel like the only value now is to not get anything
Yup. haven’t bought any wax in over a year. Sad man it used to be so fun but it’s just too expensive nowadays.
Joshua said it best in Wargames:

Better off buying singles you want, the market is so oversaturated it’s not even funny.
Buying 2023 Panini baseball is like having someone kick you square in the nuts, AND paying for it.

💯💯 and no resale value either ☠
@@jessetaylor1522Give little man good cards. I give my 4 year old neighbor numbered cards all the time. Learning how to take care of things.
The Mantle origins is a case hit card worth around $25.
manuel beltre is a good auto, underated prospect in my opinion. him and his little brother are super hard workers and talented

True, but the fun is in ripping and the thrill of it, its certainly better then gambling at a casino for me personally.
So long as people keep paying more money for fewer cards there is no reason for the industry to change that pricing trajectory. It'll change when people stop buying.
Been buying cards since 93’, like to rip packs, but they have priced me out
Man must be nice to have product on the shelf in your area!! I have 3 Wal-Mart's in my area within 40 minutes of each other and they haven't been restocked since Topps series 2 came out!! Enjoy the rip!!!
real but my theory is people/kids been stealing them from our Walmart in louisiana and idk guessing they never felt like restocking
He said “the shelves are stocked full of baseball cards” at a Walmart. 😆😆😆😆 Yeah, OK.
- No Walmart in Orange County, CA
Last Mantle origins card sold for 29. One is at 6 bucks with an hour left

My Walmart still hides the trading cards behind the counter next to the tobacco. Extremely frustrating honestly
It’s because people are thieves 😞
Last sale on the Mantle origins was $29

$11.99 for 23 Update hangers at Target...
Bobby Witt isn’t a member of the players union, because they screwed his dad, so he can be in panini products. Like how bonds & a rod didn’t have topps cards for a few years
Hey Jabs, do you not rip the USA or Minor League boxes?
My walmart doesnt carry cards and theres no target 😢 but walgreens has hangers for $10
Jabs is really good at this. He could easily be a color commentator for rhe Pirates on the Radio. His knowledge of the players and prospects, his DJ voice, and much more make him perfect for the job😂
That would be an amazing job!
As well as you promote the retailers 29:13 you'd think they'd take the hints you provide them.
Thanks for the variety.
when you see that total 😥

Is the Jackson Holliday fun face card in series 2 a myth? I do let spiders live. I’ve had one in the corner above my couch for a year, we don’t bother each other. He’s still around, so he’s earning his rent.
Which is the best pack in Walmart to buy starting
The Mantle is selling for 79$
SWEET! ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO FROM JABS.
I would rather spend my money at at Jab's Family RUclips or Whatnot auction. At least I know what I'm getting.
I don’t kill spiders at my house unless on my bed.
Can’t wait to head home in 2 days, gonna go through my entire collection again!
WowoWow.563 haul....sometimesyou win, sometimes you don't....but is it a risk when having fun with your hobby....most hobbies are profitable.
Opening that Platinum box with no concern for what’s inside. Wonder how many dinged corners that poor person is going to get. Maybe chill out a bit?
Appreciate the effort Jabs. But did it feel like the spider was the biggest star of the opening?
Almost completed my base Holiday set......still need Inserts
Thank you Jabs
Is there going to be a auction today
Walmart in concord n.c. doesn't sell card anymore
What Walmarts do you streamers find these at? Unbelievable to see shelves stocked like that
Mickey Mantle case hit!
On Ebay the Mantle is going for $100 USD
Great video, love the spider cameo bit😂
You are still, by far, the most entertaining ripper out there, tired of these bro rippers talking about krakens and yelling “let’s go!” every hit. You are much appreciated sir!
Love that masyn Winn relic
I live in an area where not many card collectors are.
I gotta know where you got the background!
I would say don't buy panini products, but I'm glad you do to show everyone just how terrible they are.
Pretty sure I saw a Blaze Jordan USA card. If so, can I buy it from Mizzy? He plays for the Sea Dogs and we have season tickets. Would love to have him sign it. Great video. Thanks again.

I don't know how new this feature is but I don't remember ever seeing the views and likes counter go up while I'm watching a video
Something seems very strange with that. I clicked the video seconds after it was uploaded. Zero views but it shows 3.1k likes. Hmmmm
That mini was it a Nolan Gorman. If so I am interested in it.
I went to target today and it was empty like literally nothing

Bought one mega box of 2023 Prizm. Waste of money. You can add me to the list of those who pulled a Joey Wiemer auto.
Another great video thanks for sharing this video keep up the great work you do for the hobby
HOLY SHIT MIZZY! I hope you hit!
Edit:
Dear Mizzy,
I doubt you have any idea who I am, but I’ve seen you in some of jabs’ live videos. I want you to know if we ever meet in person I will give you a hug for this video should you choose to accept it. The hug is for the giant L you took in order to give us this movie (and lesson) in buying a ton of retail boxes at your local Walmart.
If we never meet just know that my heart goes out to you. You are a genuine trooper.
P.S. - the mantle last sold for $25-27.
P.P.S - You never told us what the bonus was that you gave mizzy jabs! Don’t leave us hanging!!!
Hi great video as usual but my grandmother who I did not know grew up on a dairy farm in Western Maryland and let a spider live in in the house my mom grew up in and my grandmother named tbe spider Jasper.
I almost have the master set of heritage.
Why??? Go to your local card dealer and sure he will discount a purchase like that.

Kool videos. Showed me some cards I haven't seen yet. Select is hard buy for me, too. Almost $3 per card. I lose money on about every box, but Select insures the biggest loss.
I don’t think it’s worth buying all those boxes at Walmart for $600
They should stop stocking your Walmart, know one in your area buys cards
When we don't have the team logos and names no more, we in trouble, baby. We in trouble ⚾
I got a mega pack of topps for Christmas and pulled a Shohei Ohtani ace card!
I pulled a Matt Mevis black cat out of 10 in my blaster.

Just buy a hobby box LOL at least this year Topps retail is decent
The only winning move is not to play - Joshua
Nice mantle
Panini is even worse in 2023 without MLBPA license...
4.99 to join,oh friggan sure...
This is the best RUclips channel I’ve ever found. Jabs doesn’t mess around
i feel bad for you that the fact it was raining
It's baseball. You could hit the best card in each product and still lose money unfortunately.
Yikes. I got back into collecting cards a few months ago and mistakenly bought at walmart and got totally smoked.
I haven't been in a Walmart in awhile. Now I only buy hobby/jumbo format, unless blasters have a better track rate (ie 2023 Bowman and 2023 Topps Chrome)
wow youre lucky still 2 per person per day in my end of PGH
plus lcs has blasters 5 to 10 bucks less that retail
I saw 200 on the mantle
my childhood dream
Like 59.00 dollars
Nice video ❤
can i join the Jabs family?
i watch you all the time and enjoy your content.. great stuff and if i could afford it,i would definitely join. keep it up 💪
Wow you paid 21 dollars in sales tax. You know if you plan to sell these you should get a sales tax permit and save that money.
Dude you skipped over the Brandon pfaatd rookie card! In the first tops box. I don’t know if you think there cool but I do.
i love update
One player at mid level is not going to get the Pirates into the playoffs.
Let's gooooo JABS!
I got lucky in USA because Dylan Crews got drafted to my minor team can I got an autographed hat from him!
2022 Archives probably didn't sell because we were being so bombarded with 1987 Topps designs that seeing one more would make us puke.
