Hey man! Love to see a fellow niners fan. (As heartbreaking as this season has been) Just turned 30 recently, and discovered the football card hobby. Slowly starting to build my niners PC. Love the videos so far, keep it up!
My man! Welcome to the channel and the hobby!!! This season was an absolute heartbreaker, feels a lot like after the 2019 Super Bowl loss tbh, but they don’t call us the faithful for nothing! Cheers brother! GOOO NINERS!!!
Nice rip man!! Always fun to have a long one like this. My best pull out of Optic this year is a Stroud holo. Still searching for my first DT too. I hit some absolute monsters out of retail this year but Downtowns have still been incredibly elusive for me as well.
The Stroud holo must do pretty well? I can’t believe how much Donruss and Optic I’ve ripped and still no DT! I see people pulling them all the time!!! Hopefully soon. Might do the Optic Hobby Box next! 🤞
That was a tough rip man. I always have bad luck in Optic even though those Downtowns are phenomenal. That’s why I stick with the lower end of Donruss where I’ve at least now pulled three downtowns overall haha 😂 can’t wait to see more your videos. Man our 49ers season gonna end soon. ☹️
Thanks for the video! That was a brutal rip but I know 2025 will be bring some epic hauls for you. Historically, Super Bowl losers from the previous year have bad seasons and the injuries didn't help. However, I'm at the point now that I think the Niners have reached the highest heights as they possibly can go with Kyle as head coach. I want to see the squad wrap up the season strong. Go Niners!
Was a tough rip and a tough season! Haha. It’s like Bosa said, we are going to find out in the next 3 weeks who wants to be here and who doesn’t! It’s gut check time!!! GOOO NINERS!!!
@@ShaunM3232 alright! PC ding will be back next video, along with the contest! Thank you! I like Prizm and Mosaic too, but I’m such a sucker for the Downtown! Cheers bro!
@@gridironrips Ya I just didn't know if you realized it or not, I think you should keep it on there it brings a good vibe to your videos and I was like woah he is missing something so I figured i would mention it lol
No "P.C" symbol 15:45 ish into video Brandon Auike !? You said "IF" you DO NOT "REMEMBER" to put the "P.C Sign" up when you pull your 9ers cards !!! Sooooo.......What do I/DID I WIN!!!!!??!?!?????!!!!!! 😉👌😊💪
Hahaha I didn’t do that at all for this vid, sorry friend. But everyone is saying to bring it back so I will for the next videos! I didn’t think anyone liked it, 🤷♂️ .
Well, at least you made me feel a tiny bit better as I've collected for years & NEVER hit any special rare hit card- NONE. 😢😅 As far as injuries, my Chiefs have been without nearly1/2 their starting line up most the year. IF it weren't for Mahomes we could very well be in the same spot you guys are. CRAZY 🤪year. Keep waiting for a few teams just to get unlucky a couple times. No injury wishes, just need a few to get unlucky. 😅 Its weird, some get bit by that injury bug SO bad while others get SO lucky (Eagles, Ravens, Bills, etc) I'm hoping, getting Pacheco, Omenihu, JuJu & Butker back full time & Hollywood coming back slowly the next couple weeks will help make up for that terrible O line & secondary. 🤞 Mahomes is a REALLY tough guy, so no bout he'll do whatever he can. He won A SuperBowl with this same injury he says was worse,so let's hope. No doubt the 9ers will be back next season. Have a good one. IF I don't see you again before then- hope you have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! 🎅🤶🧑🎄👼🌲☃️🦌🎁
My man! Great to hear from you! Yes Niners were destroyed by injuries this season, but no excuses the division was still ours for the taking and we blew it. Oh well! Chiefs are looking good, it’s you and the Bills, think you can take them? No doubt those players returning will help, you know Omenihu is my guy, hope he does well. I’ll put out one more next week, probably Christmas Eve, we’ll see. All the best and Merry Christmas my friend! 🎅🏻 👊
I just started collecting again. I haven't gotten any of the 2023 set. I DID however take a chance and bought a 2022 Blaster of Optic and landed a Brock Purdy Holo! #FTTB
Hey brother just to let you know hope you bought those packs from a rebuttal source. If not they we're for sure searched. It's hella easy to see the Downtown's through the packs. My suggestion if you rip any more Optic to go with the International hobby boxes way better and about half the price of the fat pack venture.
@@seanfoley7855 I was wondering about that tbh! Good to know. I’ll see if I can get my hands on some of the international boxes. Appreciate it! Cheers! 👊
Hahaha I wish I had that foresight, I loaded up on a ton of value packs! Still have enough to do another video like this 🤣🤣🤣 hopefully it goes better! Gonna do a hobby box of Optic next tho, want to get through my 2023 before 2024 comes out. Cheers brother, hope you’re well! Happy Holidays! 🎄
Well now that you say that, I went back and looked at my purchases and they were also the value packs lol. The ones from Scheels just hit different though, pulled 4 case hits from 12 packs
@@PatTheRipper ya, was a tough season bro! Appreciate the offer, I don’t really buy singles just sealed wax to rip! Cheers brother 👊. You got me by at least 1 Downtown! And counting…your Mayo Man downtown!
@ I have opened 3. But my best was sniping a pristine Josh Allen DT in the wee hours on an eBay auction. Sent it off to PSA and it got a 10! Gonna do a vid on that soon. Gonna try and pump some content out here soon as well. I have been doing that lately and it has paid off
I have spent way too much time, money, and effort on lighting. Just to watch a 10 minute RUclips video telling everything I was doing wrong. And could have solved all of my problems with $40
I would have literally invested that $500 into any other football product in the market, that is the worst optic product of the year! It cost $15.99 plus tax per pack and 10 of the 12 cards you get per value pack our base cards so you are basically getting one insert and one rookie per pack good luck on your downtown hunting should have bought a hobby box instead !!!?!?!?!??!?......😮😅😉👌😢🥺😢😭😭😭😭😭😭🥱👋🙄🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🤷♂️😟🙇♂️
Hahahaha! I had to give it a shot! You know I’m always chasing that elusive downtown! I actually have a hobby box of Optic as well, going to do that for next weeks vid! Make sure you check it out! Cheers friend!!!
@gridironrips I know, I listened to you & watched the whole video 👍 "I" myself have also "NEVER" Pulled a "Down Town" weather it be "Donruss" or "Optic"!

@gridironrips I can send you a link to my local card shop they might ship to Canada.
@ sure!
Mojo Breaks Card Shop
@ will check i! TY!
Yikes! Thanks for sharing, but I would do this with only blasters, not value packs.

They don't even give you a guaranteed green velocity? Come on panini 😂
Right? Those packs with just the insert are the worst!!!! Hahaha. Oh well, was fun anyways. Cheers! Thanks for tuning in!!!
What’s up GR
Waddup PickSix?!?
The 23’ optic fat packs have way more hits than the value packs
What are the fat packs vs. Value packs? Thought they were the same? Gonna have to track some down!!!
Well now that you say that, I went back and looked at my purchases and they were also the value packs lol. The ones from Scheels just hit different though, pulled 4 case hits from 12 packs
@ dayum! I’ve got a bunch more so hopefully I will have some luck! Cheers my friend!
When you stop trying to get a downtown is when you get one.
I will give it a shot hahahaha! Thanks for tuning in! When I do the optic hobby box I will def not try to get a downtown! 🤞🤣
Sorry bro, that hurt. But luck next time😊
Was a tough one! Someone on the naughty list must be angry at me hahahaha! Cheers brother!
