I feel your pain. I hit 4 Walmarts and 2 Targets. We have guys lining up at the Wallyworld doors at 5am and all 20 megas sold 7 minutes after doors open. The two stores that had restocks both got bought out by a single person. I ended up buying 50 packs and got smashed $700 later. I'm over optic for a minute. Feels like chasing for a willy Wonka golden ticket.
“Chance” at a Downtown! or an Orange Scope CJ Stroud. Gonna be BIG money cards when they’re pulled. But I agree, way overpriced on the secondary market for sure!
It's obviously because people were pulling a ton last year. Panini pulled it back on the hits and rhe price skyrocketed due to the success of last year.
Some people who don’t buy as much refer to mega boxes as booster boxes. And I think they actually think there is better odds bc it’s a bigger box.. panini gonna panini
Downtowns are SIGNIFICANTLY harder this year. I’ve ripped probably 40+ megas, 40+ blasters, and maybe ~20+ value packs and not a single downtown. I’ve pulled four mythicals though and probably 5 CJ holos and 6 CJ color exclusives and several inserts. A gold Jersey patch /10 of Schoonmaker. FWIW
Thank you for your breaks!!! I depend on your opinions about so many of these products. I can’t afford may hobby box’s so I buy retail based on your reviews. I have noticed that panini front loads their box’s to be really loaded when the first wave hits and then after a week or two their box’s and packs are weaker. Have you ever thought that?
Amazing cards here! I have really become hooked on hunting for Sam LaPorta Rookie cards and inserts lately, everything about him looks so promising for the future of his career! If he plays like he did in his Rookie season he will definitely be a future hall of famer no doubt!
Opened a box this morning at Walmart, nothing but print lines on half the cards. CJ Silver Print lines from top to bottom. One and only box I’ll buy lol
@@hotjoe817 I don't know about the better prices tho. Fanatics is asking for $39.99 for 2024 Topps Chrome Baseball 24 card count blasters and $60.00 for 48 card mega boxes.
I'm almost positive every time you pull a Darnell Washington, CJ usually follows in the very next pack. If the Darnell is base the CJ will be base as well as HOLO and any other other types.
Almost spent $20 on an optic fat pack tonight because it was the first optic product that I’ve seen in a while. Went back and looked at your review on optic fat packs… saved myself $20.
Yo you notice all the hypers have print lines? Every single purple shock and these hypers I pulled have lines… not sure how they will grade… mad annoying. Great rip
Thank you so much for opening these! Your channel has helped me determine which product lines I’ll like best (mostly the design) since there’s so much!
It's not complaining if it true. To spend that kinda money and get those results is crazy. Panini needs to spread the love a little. Then if yo do happen to hit an autograph it's usually just initials.
Yo, how did you get your hands on optic football I can never go to meijer, target, or Walmart where they had a restock when I went What time does your stores restock? Btw what a video, all I want to rip is optic football and I can’t get my hands on it sadly
Havent seen any megas in a 50 mile radius of where i live. They had blasters at my local Walmart when they first came out but they were gone in 5 seconds cause a guy bought like the 30 they had on the shelf. Luckily he let me get a couple before he took the rest. Havent seen aby of them since.
That Will Levis hyper looks good to grade. That Mahomes and Kelce best tuddys is my favorite of the rip. Hope ya get better luck on the next rip! Feels like the baseball rips have been providing pretty well.
I keep hearing comc but idk feels a lil outta my lane when I looked into website but I'm probably missing out bye not putting in effort to try it out idk?!?
I know you answered me in a previous video about when 2024 rookie cards were gonna happen, but do you suggest or know what type of box or brand would be the best to get?
@@Swagin8er prizm draft picks and score come out fairly soon, I'll be opening both. Neither are products they really hold value overtime but it's their first pro cards so they sell well right away. It's just once everything else comes out they go down in value
Is it possible that your buying left over boxes after people crack cases for the case hit & bigger blue RC's ??? Maybe they buy full cases .... Open until a couple big cards pop out & sell the remaining cards.... Real painful to watch - but thanks for sharing -im better off waiting for a single hobby box, I think this year.
Take out CJ and Wemby and ask yourself would you even bother to buy them? These manufacturers know you want one player and one player only, and theyre playing on your addiction and nostalgia to literally steal your cash. This whole hobby seems to be a 1% risk otherwise its a scam, why wouldnt you just save the $1000 and go buy the CJ cards you want then save the $500. Makes no sense to me why people insist on gambling like this, wild.
Just because optic has legacy value and one of the bigger insert chases, doesn't mean wading through all the garbage is fun... especially at these prices. When I drop decent $$$ for retail, then proceed to get skunked, it doesn't make me feel great...
Unlike the football the basketball megas are better in my opinion. I opened one today and pulled a Victor rated rookie, Brandon miller rated rookie, and a green hyper auto.
Hey man I know you might not see this but I just wanted to thank you for getting me into the hobby of collect sports cards and I also wanted to tell you that your videos are amazing and to keep it up.
Man don’t listen to the haters. They’re just trolling you. You do a great job! Only critique would be to somehow cut down on the package noise. Starts to grind ya after that many breaks 😂
Wow, what a beating!! This is exactly what you DON'T DO!! You see a full stock of Megas, buy 1 or 2!! Don' clear them!! Spent over $720 and best card is a $10 card Brutal.
Brutal wax pull for the $. Always fun watching you pull and go through all the emotions. Your a glutton for punishment with those optic mega boxes. Thanks for the entertainment sorry you didn’t get any huge bangers.
Also, Packer fan here. They (HOPEFULLY) plan on running 12 personnel with the tight end group. Definitely scary with all the weapons they already have!
Sky is your Walmart still stocking? Mine hasnt stocked in 3 weeks heard about the mj holding n distributors got let go bye walmart, they better figure out quick 😢
@@skybcards they finally stocked today and what a restock!! everything that hasn't been hitting my selfs optic football & basketball megas for first time only blasters have hit my shelves and even then just once, 4 sleeves of select hangers and two prizm hangers plus everything series 2 was so stoked grabbed all 8 optic football megas and 4 basketball, plus a sleeve of select hangers lets go!!!
if you sell your cards, its better to have duplicates than to have only one of each card. then someone buys one, and a few hours later another person buys the second one.
Rough beats brotha. For almost an $800 rip you probably got $300 back in cards. Blue Hypers much nicer than the greens, but the megaboxes are dusty af. Thanks as always for the rip!👊🍻

Feels like chasing for a willy Wonka golden ticket.
I noticed what looks like fraying at the bottom of some cards. Perhaps the cutting blade was going dull.
Was hoping for better results. Idk why these are selling so high, secondary. People wild.
Yeah man I'd rather pay resale for the blasters than these, the mega boxes are just garbage

I appreciate that and glad you're enjoying the content bro💪 but yeah that's what topps and Panini has always done in my opinion
Amazing cards here! I have really become hooked on hunting for Sam LaPorta Rookie cards and inserts lately, everything about him looks so promising for the future of his career! If he plays like he did in his Rookie season he will definitely be a future hall of famer no doubt!
Why wouldn’t you just buy a stroud rookie lmao fuckin brain dead
Just go buy his stuff. Don't waste your time and money hunting especially if it's for 1 specific player.
Was able to grab 6 of these this week at Walmart. Pulled a Downtown Saquan, CJ holo, AR Blue Hyper, and Russel Wilson rocket.
Same I found 4 megas, 2 were trash but one had namath downtown and the other box had the green pulsar AR and halo cj in same box
What toploaders do you use?
Opened a box this morning at Walmart, nothing but print lines on half the cards. CJ Silver Print lines from top to bottom. One and only box I’ll buy lol
Yeah don't blame you bro i think they're overrated
Damn. That sucks but sounds right on brand for Panini.
Boycott
Quality Control is brutal, can’t wait for fanatics to take over in a couple yrs, time for a change and hopefully better prices
@@hotjoe817 I don't know about the better prices tho. Fanatics is asking for $39.99 for 2024 Topps Chrome Baseball 24 card count blasters and $60.00 for 48 card mega boxes.
I think it depends on the case. We bought an entire sealed case and did really well. The down town we pulled once graded will pay for the case
what days do targets and Walmarts restock usually, I can never find anything
I think Monday and Thursdays
@@That-kidsprods_ are the cards there right when store opens
Or should you show up a bit later in the day, sorry new to this lol
I'm almost positive every time you pull a Darnell Washington, CJ usually follows in the very next pack. If the Darnell is base the CJ will be base as well as HOLO and any other other types.
Yes he follows DW.
Wow. That was a brutal rip. Appreciate you hanging through there B.
How do I know if cards ar3 good because I'm getting my first football card pack today
It’s so hard to find any boxes in our area. We also have to drive an hour to our closest LCS.
Do you think collectors prefer the blue or green parallel?
Where you find em?
Just saw 20 of these on the shelf at Walmart.. thought long and hard but decided to leave them. Prices are out of control.
Almost spent $20 on an optic fat pack tonight because it was the first optic product that I’ve seen in a while. Went back and looked at your review on optic fat packs… saved myself $20.
I opened one box and got a Sroud blue hyper that was my biggest pull from retail and I was flipping out
Pulled a downtown Joe Burrow this morning! Not sure how to find a price on it and am also new to collecting. Love your content!
Does your shop have a huge selection of singles im guessing
Tons
Love you skyb never give up!
Are you going to the national?
Yeah
@skybcards cool, I'll be there Saturday and Sunday, if I see you I'll definitely say what's up.
Why no showing of the restock?
That's every Monday lol
Can not find optic anywhere in Texas
Yo you notice all the hypers have print lines? Every single purple shock and these hypers I pulled have lines… not sure how they will grade… mad annoying. Great rip
if you have Kamari Lassiter Rookie card?
Do you like optic or donruss better
Donruss probably
Bro, we get it. We've all been there. Positivity is hard to fake man, and you're a real one!
Thank you so much for opening these! Your channel has helped me determine which product lines I’ll like best (mostly the design) since there’s so much!

All the downtowns were in donruss this year haha
I bought one Walmart mega and pulled a Mahomes downtown, Tyler Scott rookie auto and AR 15 my pose halo. There was no damage on my cards.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That's what it's all about congrats bro
Yo, how did you get your hands on optic football
I can never go to meijer, target, or Walmart where they had a restock when I went
What time does your stores restock?
Btw what a video, all I want to rip is optic football and I can’t get my hands on it sadly
I put in a ton of time to find these haha it's alll about checking the stores
@@skybcards k, which store did you find them at? Even the blaster are hard to find
That was a painful rip. I have seen some good come out of those, but it is super tough not getting really anything out of 12.
I still haven't found optic in the wild yet this year.
Havent seen any megas in a 50 mile radius of where i live. They had blasters at my local Walmart when they first came out but they were gone in 5 seconds cause a guy bought like the 30 they had on the shelf. Luckily he let me get a couple before he took the rest. Havent seen aby of them since.

Out of curiosity, what do you, or other breakers do with the countless amounts of common cards you pull from all these different boxes/sets?
Struggle🤣 they take up so much space
I would like advice myself lol
@@skybcards seriously! Wife only allows me so much space for my “man cave” 🤣
I keep hearing comc but idk feels a lil outta my lane when I looked into website but I'm probably missing out bye not putting in effort to try it out idk?!?
I also do cheap repacks for kids w mix base parrell and rc's sell them at the bowling alley I manage
That pull was ok optic is a hard product stay strong brotha 💪 💪💪 🔥🔥🔥
The mark up on these are insane
When is your next whatnot show
Next Saturday
This just makes me look forward to select retail even more, at least those give us numbered card potential including those gold die cuts /10
I need to pull a CJ jersey number Gold die cut just like Kenny Pickett last year
I know you answered me in a previous video about when 2024 rookie cards were gonna happen, but do you suggest or know what type of box or brand would be the best to get?
Optic is always my favorite even if it's tough, but honestly I open everything 🤣
@@skybcards Alright I’ve never opened anything so just trying to get an idea! Thx!
@@Swagin8er prizm draft picks and score come out fairly soon, I'll be opening both. Neither are products they really hold value overtime but it's their first pro cards so they sell well right away. It's just once everything else comes out they go down in value
@@skybcards Do you think waiting until optic comes out would be better for a beginner?
@@Swagin8er optic won't be out until next year this time, that's a long wait bro

Open until a couple big cards pop out & sell the remaining cards.... Real painful to watch - but thanks for sharing -im better off waiting for a single hobby box, I think this year.
I bought them in store so it would have to be the distributors doing that sort of dirty thing if it is happening
You could be right though
Like I said before, optic is overpriced complete garbage this year !
The megas are garbage, blasters are at least still amazing
I BEEN SAYING IT!!!
Blasters are the way to go tho
They should come out with hangers like good hangers with blue scopes
Take out CJ and Wemby and ask yourself would you even bother to buy them?

Just got lucky and ordered some optic basketball on target website. Still haven’t found football in the wild or on website. 😢
can't even find these in the wild so I'm not even tripping lol😂
Found 1 box today at Walmart, also found 5 Prizm basketball blasters😮
@@RIPnROAR shit wish I got that lucky, all I found was baseball
Might be for the better bro they're dookie cakes🤣
@@skybcards yeah thank you for doing these videos and saving us some $$
I started collecting a sports cards few years ago but gave up on it it’s to expensive and never get any hits unless you spend
Is skyb on vacation rn lol commenting bc he hasn’t posted today
I open a few and full stetson Bennett iv auto
Just because optic has legacy value and one of the bigger insert chases, doesn't mean wading through all the garbage is fun... especially at these prices.
When I drop decent $$$ for retail, then proceed to get skunked, it doesn't make me feel great...
Would be cool to pull a CJ downtown
That is a dream pull bro
i opened one optic blaster and got an autograph
Unlike the football the basketball megas are better in my opinion. I opened one today and pulled a Victor rated rookie, Brandon miller rated rookie, and a green hyper auto.
Hey man I know you might not see this but I just wanted to thank you for getting me into the hobby of collect sports cards and I also wanted to tell you that your videos are amazing and to keep it up.
I’ve opened up many optic blasters and haven’t gotten anything :(
Crazy I ran into 7 of them at my Walmart at 7 in the morning and I wasn’t even looking for them
I like the look of the those optics!! Thanks for the info!!
Man don’t listen to the haters. They’re just trolling you. You do a great job! Only critique would be to somehow cut down on the package noise. Starts to grind ya after that many breaks 😂
NEEEEEEED that target joint
Every day I wake up I’m excited to watch a sky b video
Ayeeee appreciate that bro i love seeing your name in the comments🔥
Love those blue hyper!
If you want to move any of those Aubrey’s, I’m interested!
same man i opened 6 megas from target and got smoked... no more optic for me..!!
Wow, what a beating!! This is exactly what you DON'T DO!! You see a full stock of Megas, buy 1 or 2!! Don' clear them!! Spent over $720 and best card is a $10 card Brutal.
Facts 🫨🫨🫨🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Can't win em all🤷♂️
All right, you have the luck. It was nice. I had a little too had a downtown from last year‘s optic.
Why do you say i have the luck?
love the long rips especially since I can't find any of these locally
Sorry to hear about that, hopefully you can find some soon!
I swear those look like every mega box I’ve ever bought. Tough goin out here. Thanks for the rip!
Idk I like the hits you got, some of my fave players but yea hoping for something big, Downtown etc. These do have the downtowns right? Or should lol
Yeah it says you can pull downtowns but I'm not sure if you can pull them
That was rough to watch. Thanks for sharing though. Will probably stay from mega boxes after watching this lol
What were you expecting? Him to hit a stroud in every box? Then you could go out and buy boxes and get your own strouds in every box? 🤣
Tough to get that Downtown
Man for realllll
not even a single downtown bro i thought i had a chance getting a 24 card one
are there turd cannon emoji cards in this rip?
Tough rip but appreciate you taking the time to make the content man!
Appreciate it man!💪
Mapu. That's what this rip has been...Pu! LOL Rough, but nice effort, bro zeppi. Heading to my Walmart today, hopefully it has these.
🤣🤣🤣 good luck on the hunt bro

So many young weapons... all on rookie contracts to, the packers will be good for at least 5 more years sadly🤣 (lions fan here)
Bro these vids are so good keep the good work up
Thanks bro💪
Omg it’s really you
Hmmmmmmmmmm, some of those orange scopes shouldnt have been made IMO, but thank you for taking the hit for us.
I've found two boxes all year. Definitely rare to find
Sky is your Walmart still stocking? Mine hasnt stocked in 3 weeks heard about the mj holding n distributors got let go bye walmart, they better figure out quick 😢
There's a new company doing the stocking at Walmart, you guys might just not have a new Vendor yet
@@skybcards they finally stocked today and what a restock!! everything that hasn't been hitting my selfs optic football & basketball megas for first time only blasters have hit my shelves and even then just once, 4 sleeves of select hangers and two prizm hangers plus everything series 2 was so stoked grabbed all 8 optic football megas and 4 basketball, plus a sleeve of select hangers lets go!!!
I just pulled a CJ Stroud optic downtown
No wayyy!!!
@@skybcards yeah I’m getting it graded
I just did my first PSA of Kenny Pickett 2022 Wild Card Matte White what u think be worth if is PSA 10???
i just found 4 at target. Im happy I found some but I'm nervous to rip 😂
I did win a Will Levis downtown in a break but that was super lucky. Every optic I’ve opened I’ve gotten junk!!
Congrats bro!!🔥
Crazy how high of price these are going for!!
Just pulled a AR silver holo
These Megas have been tough from what I see. I'd still buy a couple if I could find them at retail price. Definitely not $100 box though.
Yo sky hope you have a great day dude u make me smile when I see you noti uploaded have a great day
Ayeeee thanks my brother i hope your day is amazing too💯
Honestly, those look more like 🚀 then 🔥 to me?
if you sell your cards, its better to have duplicates than to have only one of each card. then someone buys one, and a few hours later another person buys the second one.
Enjoy watching
Rough beats brotha. For almost an $800 rip you probably got $300 back in cards. Blue Hypers much nicer than the greens, but the megaboxes are dusty af. Thanks as always for the rip!👊🍻
$300 is being supppper generous hahah
I say don't go overboard buying these products.
I managed to find 2 of these I’m so blessed
I’d be mad, but this is how most my rips go a bunch of blanks at least you got a few so far
That Jalen Hurts myhouse was clean 🙌
Keep rocking the awesome videos and hello from the 2 hospitals today
You know I'll always keep the videos coming 🔥🔥 tell the kids I said hey!!
