I got 6 of these retail and it was enough for me. Pulled a number of the 4 qbs including a bronze stroud and also a richardson patch. One auto was a rookie lineman but it sold already.
You know how people say “when pigs fly” Well I say “when you pull a good card from contenders” 😂😂😂 but seriously would still take the giveaway I’m tired of opening blasters
Hands down contenders is the worst retail release. Panini really needs to do something with these at least improve the inserts. Years ago the inserts actually very nice and were foil cards.
Good to know, these look like hot garbage. I have some of these coming along with a Donruss optic hobby box. I am starting to think Panini products are a giant rip off
I haven’t opened Contenders in a few years. Never have I gotten a good box. I go after the singles I want. And you’d think the hobby ones would have as much or more value as retail. Thanks for sharing!!
Straight up a piece of fabric they probably bought at TJ Maxx and have nothing to do with football. That change will be a part of their demise (with licensing being the bigger issue obviously. But quality is a HUGE problem with panini)
Hate that you went in with 6 boxes! I bought $25 (three packs and two larger sized packs) and got 90% of the base set. I pulled three Rookie cards that totaled about $21 value so I got the money's worth, just with those few. After going hard on the NBa hoops for 2024, I'm pretty sad there's no color variations.
It's maybe like two autos per case.. and they're pretty much just undrafted rookies... They saved the better names for hobby, the Richardson, Gibbs, flowers, Addison, Robinson, Laporta, etc ...
I have opened 3 blasters of the normal blaster the first one I got a auto. In my second box it was the best of the 3 I got a CJ stroud green laser, CJ base, Bryce young base, a AR patch. In the 3rd box I got a CJ red base, a Bryce young base, and Paris Johnston auto. One of my favorite products this year ❤❤
so what is favorite sport on The trining cards Bro 😊 Do you Like a NBA or NFL u most Bro 😀🏀 I Like NFL cards Do you Like Bro Basketball cards Bro I Like y all all lot of NBA my binder Bro
I like the Contenders, have a few that I got from a collection. My brother opened 4 retail blasters, no Auto, but saw some Red, like Peyton Manning, Deion Sanders like the one you got. I will try to pick up a box, maybe from the WOW website that you mentioned if they’re still in stock.
You keep that $5 Bryce Young mem and bulk, and I'll buy a real card for cheaper than that box. Thanks for opening this so I don't. It's like a public service announcement! Thanks Packman, Panini is dead
Honestly never opened a huge box before the most expensive box I’ve opened was $100 prism which sucked so I would be grateful if I could get the giveaway
I really don't see a difference in the Retail and Hobby blasters besides the parallel and the cost per box. I would almost rather buy a Mega box for $50. You get 1 Auto & 2 Mem cards.
I consider myself lucky that I bought one blaster and hit a Kenny McIntosh rookie ticket auto green variation and a Christian Watson #/499. I won’t be buying any more contenders this year 😂
I just opened 2 mega boxes (retail) and those are great I opened 2 boxes(just finished). 3 numbered cards including a chase brown(not a big name) rpa /25 each box has 2 mem 1 auto maybe them next ?
Thats the 1st case hit Ive seen so far and while rookie QBs aren't "rare", I have not seen a ton of CJs in them so far. Have seen just a couple autos so far too. I don't get the "hobby" blaster BS. To me, a blaster will NEVER be a hobby box. From what I see here, certainly not worth the upcgarge. Nice they added rookies, but they need to ad a case hit or something else to chase. People knock Contenders, but if they hit the right rookie auto, they'd change their mind VERY quickly, wouldn't they? Thanks for sharing! 🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈 Take Care/Stay Safe ✌ You did better than anyone else Ive seen so far. 😅
Thanks for opening these so I don't have to. Sadly, from past years experience, this is pretty much what I expected. I might pick one up if it was $10, but not much more than that.
Lines blurred between hobby and retail since pandemic when lcs started selling retail blasters. The difference was different inserts back in the 90s and access to different products. Internet eliminated access, everybodys a hobbyists now. There was still the perk of bigger hits/different hits. It’s a brilliant marketing campaign on paninis part releasing a ‘hobby blaster’ of junk. People will bite because of fake potential ( based on this video). For a numbered card not to be seen in the hobby version is an insult to collectors , yet they will bite nonetheless. Wait til next year and they might juice ‘hobby blasters’. My opinion is based solely on this video and the fact I know panini is panini. Not sure but I hope these sell for the same price
Will older cards from 90s, and early 2000s, get more expensive, in 10 yrs. with so many new yearly packs, and players. What will the hobby be like, in 5 or 10 yrs
Why is it so difficult for companies to package their cards with the same orientation? This card is right, the next card is upside down, then normal, then upside down...ahhhhhh.
Well I hope hobby price will be at $200 only autograph I saw on the checklist that worth more is Aaron Rodgers and Anthony Richardson. No good autos no reason to buy it. I have not bought hobby in 2 years
Seems like the "Hobby" retail boxes on Panini's site are a massive avoid from everyone I've seen. Thank you for the heads up!

I try to not say negative stuff, but hobby blasters is an incredibly stupid idea. Just a way to make people that cant afford to pay massively inflated prices of hobby feel like they're ripping something better than retail
Contenders has never been visually stunning. Data driven which steals from the overall esthetic of featuring athletes in their element. Mostly frame, then words and numbers, then blocks of solid color, then the featured athlete.
How come you dont do any hockey cards. You should go for the Connor Bedard 1of1 upper deck series 2 1 million bounty on that card.. it would be nice to see you open those cards
Someone please tell me, is there a reason they put the cards upside down every card? I can't think of a reason, but I'm sure there must be. Thanks for your time.
The box has the same patterns after Levis Commons Jordan love After Strout was Crosby and many other sequences that follow the same pattern in both sets
i had a crazy box i got a jamyr gibbs variation patch ar draft class rookie a stallion ar rookie a addison stallion an eli manning historic class red and a bryce young rookie

Hi packman good afternoon how are you doing love the video 😊
Foosball?? Lol, hobby, not looking good at all!
Who won the giveaway?
Can you giveaway some optic blasters? But could you maybe give someone (me) Multiple of them instead of one?
@@AsherEngle no
I got 6 of these retail and it was enough for me. Pulled a number of the 4 qbs including a bronze stroud and also a richardson patch. One auto was a rookie lineman but it sold already.
Day 3 of asking for sealed wax for my birthday
I bought one of these I got a Puka Nacua patch
You know how people say “when pigs fly” Well I say “when you pull a good card from contenders” 😂😂😂 but seriously would still take the giveaway I’m tired of opening blasters
Contenders is ridiculously tough to make your money back normally, and now without many of the top autos the set is straight garbage
Hands down contenders is the worst retail release. Panini really needs to do something with these at least improve the inserts. Years ago the inserts actually very nice and were foil cards.
YO!!!!!!!!!!!!! ps id love to win a box! im jelly of ur pulls haha
I’m personally not a big fan of contenders retail. Too much base.
I pulled a puca auto base but that was definitely a great blaster
Good to know, these look like hot garbage. I have some of these coming along with a Donruss optic hobby box. I am starting to think Panini products are a giant rip off
@josephpanella2726 yea I got three of them and the one with thw puca auto was the only good one I got the other where jersey of not so good players
Good lord this product in retail format blows
That was brutal, but I still love the videos!!
Im not really in to football. But good video.
I bought one box and got a signed Sean tucker
Hey Pack, how are you doing my friend? Pull us a monster! Nothing but ❤ as always. 🤜🤛
We got some monster action from retail! 😮🔥
I haven’t opened Contenders in a few years. Never have I gotten a good box. I go after the singles I want. And you’d think the hobby ones would have as much or more value as retail. Thanks for sharing!!
I think I'm just gonna wait for optic
Horrible, don't waste your money
I saw these a week ago should have bought some dang. good video though.
First
Stupid question, but where do you post the winners of the giveaways since the winner only has 48 hr to respond?
I opened 10 retail blasters.....8 patches, 2 autos, 1 numbered to /499 and 1 License To Dominate
10 blasters only 1 numbered card? Wtf
So sad
@@DirtyDarko24 and patches are a joke too, non game used, basically a base card LOL
Straight up a piece of fabric they probably bought at TJ Maxx and have nothing to do with football. That change will be a part of their demise (with licensing being the bigger issue obviously. But quality is a HUGE problem with panini)
Which license to dominate
Contenders has a huge upside
Packman is the goat!!
Basketball guyyyyyyy! Lol

the goat, have not watched in a min but vids are still fire

Hi packman
Hi
1
Whoever pulls the AR cracked ice auto will be over the moon.
nice bresee autoo
Just bought two boxes of these myself and the only decent pull was a red rookie stallion Puka Nacua. Is that worth anything?
Got a puka rc mem card out of my box I just got
🔥🔥🔥
Awesome video man
if i know im going to get smoked, id rather do it as cheap as possible with the retail blaster.
I just bought packs at target and got like 4-5 game tickets in each back lol

Why am I always disappointed when you do an nfl break? An NBA break happens, I get happy, then disappointed again..
Now I’m curious what the Rookie Jerseys and Rookie Txt CJ is selling for on EBay. Contents of the blasters seem to be the same. Who knows
Panini sent them to you .. Any relics i get is john Nutsack. You pulled two top player relics in two boxes ..
Contenders retail has always been straight junk... and it'd be hard to argue with someone saying hobby is straight junk as well.
Thanks for sharing!

Contenders isn't worth it ripping retail! Also when the top Rookie QB's don't sign the product all the way around needs help bigtime to be worth it!
Shame that the Hobby box was meh because I love the look of contender cards. They’re awesome looking

Is crazy cause I bought 3 blaster nothing much. But then I got to target and a 4 dollar retail pack and pulled a red cj draft class smh 😭
Someone please tell me, is there a reason they put the cards upside down every card? I can't think of a reason, but I'm sure there must be. Thanks for your time.
Wouldn’t buy this product, but that Crown Jewels insert has a really nice look to it! Beautiful card.
Can I have a card please pack im a beginner basketball card collector id love to get one just from you. You're the best nba packman ❤
Crown Jewels look nice!
Very underwhelming product. Not worth the money to me. Thanks for sharing the video tho!
FOTL is like 800 a box…totally not worth it without the top qbs signing. Only way to teach them a lesson is not buy
Contenders is all about the one card Autos. Missing the big names ,hope the Vet checklist makes up for that.
I always wished i could open something bigger than a blaster box.
Same
The box has the same patterns after Levis Commons Jordan love After Strout was Crosby and many other sequences that follow the same pattern in both sets
The hobby blaster was like driving to work and it's a Monday and it was raining with road construction. Will not be buying thanks for the show
Contenders was always rough for me, so I tend to stay away from it. I’ll stick to buying singles.
I don't understand how Panini can't get all the cards up right in packs.
Love your content.
Bought one retail blaster and pulled a permit to dominate Jordan Addison. I think I should stop while I’m ahead
Are the pulls for the contenders boxes usually this disappointing? I hate how many repeats there are.
nice case hit on blaster. panini need to make all card facing the same way, this video make me dizzy as you have flip every single card 🤣
Love the content brother wish I had your level of cards! Sick videos man!!!
Just the cards being flipped every other one makes them not worth it lol I can’t understand how they can never figure that out
about to write spoiler blocker before watching the video and spoiling it for myself ….
Thanks for the video Packman. I might have to skip contenders again this year😂😂😂
Let this be my turn to win something! 🤞 Been following you for years, appreciate all the content you put out
Hey @packman nice video as always! Maybe when hobby comes out, you could open packs until you pull like a good rookie cracked ice auto? 😁🔥
Just started collecting basketball idk I’ll take your word for it that these packs might not be it
I mean I can’t complain got a breece hall rookie patch last year which was honestly not to bad but still I think I got lucky
Have the blasters been out for a while?
i had a crazy box i got a jamyr gibbs variation patch ar draft class rookie a stallion ar rookie a addison stallion an eli manning historic class red and a bryce young rookie

Also is it just me or in the offseason do players seem better to you? Right now cj stroud sounds like a legend 😅😅😅
Panini's way to get people to pay more for blasters by calling some "hobby" blasters.
Retail Contenders is worse than retail Absolute, and that’s saying something…
