@@michaelgrimes5588 I wish my walmart had that rule. I bought a 2024 contender blaster when they came out. Almost picked up the bigger box with 4 guaranteed autos or memorabilia's, but the wife was with me, so I grabbed the blaster. There were probably 3 of the blasters, and 10 of the bigger boxes on the shelf. I enjoyed the box, so I went back the next day and they were all gone. You're lucky to find optic on the shelf when it comes out. Pretty much just prizm, elite, and sage. The elite and sage stay long enough to get a discount.
Pulled a Horizontal Justin Herbert Kaboom out of 2 blasters I bought today at Walmart! I left Prizim and choose Absolute. Was the right call for sure 😂
The general rule of thumb is if the parallels are just the letter foiling is a different color it's not worth it. Absolute, Playbook, etc. Thanks for sharing and falling in the sword for everyone.
I think for the young collectors this product is perfect! Tons of rookies, a little shine here and there, some nice inserts that look different than other sets. I was lucky enough to pull an explosive in my first break of these, but knowing Panini it has a massive print line running through it! Great video as always!
new to collecting sports cards... bought 2 of these blasters and hit a base cj stroud in each. i opened a donruss and a prestige as well.. and these were my favorites by far.
I grabbed a box earlier in the week did all right didn’t lose money. Some decent inserts. No numbered guards though. Maybe I’ll go get another box or three. Lol
This is definitely one of the many products that used to sit on shelves for months if not years before covid. Hope you are well Andy Thanks for sharing! 🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈 Take Care/Stay Safe ✌
I currently always see these in stock but never optic. The local antique store has these in stock 😂 is it really that bad of a product? Do they over produce good rookies?
@@joshuaadams738. That’s extremely rare. You got lucky. I have purchased 5 mega boxes in the past week and 3 blaster boxes and got one Alvin Kamra explosive worth maybe $100.
I got a CJ Stroud Base out of a mega box. Only got one box though. Not sure if I’ll get more. Prizm is one of the beast looking cards outside of donruss elite so I’ll probably stick with that.
We've bought 6 boxes and haven't gotten anything of note, no numbered or anything. I do really like the Star Gazing and By Storm inserts, but we won't be buying any more.
Opening up Absolute football is like opening up Topps opening day baseball but it's decent you can put them in giveaways and it can help younger audiences just starting out!!! So it's okay!!!
Acme Packs, I’ve been watching your content for awhile now and I’ll say, I do enjoy your positivity and energy in most of your videos. Watching this one though, don’t do that to yourself and don’t do that to your watchers - just some constructive criticism there. You spent almost this entire video complaining and then stated, “I’m not complaining” rather talking to us about the hobby. The thing is, and I’m sure you realize this, the ones watching your content more than likely already know about the hobby and what comes, doesn’t come, or could come from Absolute blaster boxes. So many out there bash and complain about Panini, etc. however the boxes state what you could get, are guaranteed, etc. It’s one thing if someone doesn’t get what they have coming; totally different story. Absolute blasters and hobby boxes, every year, are exactly what you said - a lottery ticket. The ole’ “Kaboom or Explosive or bust”. Same thing, every year. Continue being a difference maker. Keep the positivity and good energy up in your videos! Have fun with Absolute (knowing every thing that you and all of us already know) or maybe consider not doing a video on it. Well wishes! 👍🏻💪🏻
while i totally agree with you and try to be positive in every video i do, this has just been a historically bad product and if something is not up to par in design, quality, and hits i feel like I have to say something before people spend their hard earned dollars on it. Trust me when I say i just enjoy the hobby for what it is and i am probably the biggest advocate of that mentality. I am still going to call out products I do not think are worth it and more people are going to be disappointed than not.
I like the By Storm inserts and the Parallels look nice, but in the end it’s absolute retail. I’ve heard of people opening up multiple cases with no Kabooms. I’ll probably rip my two tomorrow, and skip every other format of this. Nice rip!
You pulled so much Stetson Bennett cards i was starting to think this was a SLVRSport video lol. Quentin Johnston could turn it around, he's young and its up to him if he will improve or not. I wouldn't buy a ton of these boxes but 1 just to try and get a kaboom is fine. Thanks for the fun rip!
I think I'm 3 and out on these I got smoked! Sorry I couldn't make Wednesday's breaks, whole family got sick. Hope guys pulled some monsters! Are we fixing to go Kaboom hunting? I've never pulled one.
I bought 6 blaster from Walmart and hit a Josh Allen explosive thought it was a kaboom from the look on the back but I guess I’ll take an explosive. Are explosive ssp?
It should get you just about all of your money back on the 6 boxes if you were to sell it. Haven't looked what this years are selling for but I would guess $200 give or take. You can get gold ones also but there's only 10.
Bought a box pulled cj stroud rookie card, will Levi’s rookie card and Bryce young rookie card and rashee rice rookie card and dontayvion nicks blue numbered to 199
The fact the Kabooms are horizontal in retail is kind of the final nail in the coffin. I already hate this product so it’s too much now to even do the chase once a year.
I opened 3 and the best thing was a CJ Stroud By Storm. Like you had said for yourself that these would be your only ones, I won’t be opening any more of this. Absolute has never been a good product to me.
This product more aligned to have a good fun opening with your kids . . . Where that miracle may occur. Not your investment kind of product. Have watched a full case rip for some stats . . . #'d / patch / auto's:- Odds worked out to roughly 1 of the above 3 kinds of cards every 3 boxes. My Verdict - 4 men a sniffling; 3 men a tearing up; 2 men a crying - And a case hit never to be seen. 😭😭😭
Less is more. As much as I hate how most packs are 4-6 cards now, when years ago, when I was younger, a pack had quite a few cards, what absolute did is just garbage. A pack with 11 cards sucks when 7 of the cards are the exact same card with a different player and color. Then the next 3 cards are the exact same with a shiny finish and different players, then the 11th card could be an insert, or the same as the other cards in the pack. I like when cards have a clean look (I prefer the look of the 23 contender base cards over prizm or optic), but absolute is way to basic and none of the basic cards have any collectible value to anyone. At least if I pull a contender of someone from the Lions, I may sleeve the card because it's a lion. Absolute base cards are just a step higher than sage
Ouch!! Not even a cheap mem.....geez!! This product doesn't justify a Kaboom search at all. And maybe it was the lighting but almost every foil rc seemed scratched or scuffed in some way. Thanks for leading us away from this product!!
Lucky enough to pull a CJ Stroud Orange #/299 out of a Walmart box. Picked up two and something in my gut said, “grab another,” glad I listened.
My local Walmart won't even let you buy 2 of Same thing

Opened the best blaster of this today for me. I pulled a Trevor Lawrence Explosive and an Anthony Richardson #25 Gold! Unreal same blaster.
I pulled a CJ Stroud Kaboom last night from a blaster 😁
This is definitely one of the many products that used to sit on shelves for months if not years before covid.

the only reason people are buying these is for the kaboom chase and panini knows it
I currently always see these in stock but never optic. The local antique store has these in stock 😂 is it really that bad of a product? Do they over produce good rookies?
You get one Explosive/Kaboom every 10 cases of blasters. And it’s 2-3 Explosive’s to every Kaboom
Bought a single blaster...Jamarr Explosive. I quit while I was ahead because I NEVER have that luck 😂
Not a big fan of this product but the By Storm does look clean
Love the Kabooms and explosives but they are super hard to pull hard pass
yep people only comment or post when they hit a kaboom. For the most part, these are rough
Don’t buy. Especially when they raised the price. Should be a $15 product
Opened two blasters and pulled a Justin Herbert Kaboom in the first pack in the second box. $800 card for $27 lol

Better than prizm blasters.. can't even get numbered or autos in those.

I like the Rock Out and By Storm inserts, but I’d rather just buy a numbered single for cheaper than a blaster lol
I like the new parallel, rock out Acme. #d rookies saved the day.

I love watching you open packs and at least giving the product a chance
I got $5 on eBay for the Gibbs Introductions. $10 for the Love Star Gazing.
My wife bought a case of absolute blasters and we have opened half of it and only got one auto and that's it.
Pre ordered a mega box of this, gonna get it in a few weeks. Guarantees a sig or mem so we will see
Just pulled a Gibbs jersey card from one of these. The rest I had were garbage though lol.
What do you know about the parallel blue Jordan love out of 99
Do they still have the portraits? I’m a huge fan of the by storm cards the design is phenomenal! Solid rip man
Bought a box last night. Pulled a Jake Moody purple rain 2/10
What is your favorite product line? Personally I go for Optic when I wanna rip
optic for sure!
Love the channel. As a fellow Packers fan, I shall continue requesting to see your personal collection! 🧀🤟🏻

I got a Zach charbonette rc patch and a cj rookie
I'm ripping these packs as I watch this video! No #'ed or Kaboom yet...
You got lucky to get the numbered cards. All the other rips I've seen have been trash
I bought a six pack to kaboom hunt. If I pull one will let you know
You gonna do a mega box review? Just one today, have ripped yet
yup! I will be
I’m in the minority but I like the base cards from a pc standpoint. Thanks for a cool video.
i agree i actually like the design this year
What are the glass cards?
Glass are case hits in absolute hobby
Just cancelled my order for 10 megas today. This product is absolutely horrible
You are about the most positive ripper out there; its gotta be pretty bad when you're not excited about a product.
i appreciate that!
Its hit or miss
Seen a dude rip a whole case and not one kaboom. I forgot his RUclips name.

@@Theboysyt_29 definitely not

Man that’s tough
I saw a guy rip a case and got skunked. You probably pulled more numbered cards than him
Didn't see a dalton kincaid either
By Storms and Kabooms. Explosives good. The base is Okay not great.
You are probably right. Not a real interesting set. I'm not big on them.
Not feeling good about the 2 boxes I just purchased 😂

What up AP
👋👋👋
You’re just one pack away from generational wealth
Would not recommend buying this product this year
I ripped 6 blasters, no numbered card's 1 kaleidoscope, 1 crap mem card, 2 Stroud card's. No worth the rip 😂
Absolute and Score are a usually a pass for me
I bought some and man are they bad. I'd rather buy Prizm value packs over this
They should pay me to buy this
I agree this stuff is junk wax besides the kabooms.
Sky B got recked and bought a whole case lol
w woek
Lol no don't buy
Grabbed two of these,hot garbage. One pack had Quentin Johnston for all three rookies 😑
im always trying to be positive but man this product really tests my patience lol and i even got lucky
Sky b cards opened a sealed case and did not hit a kaboom or explosive so it’s an awful product
ouch that stings
Junk product
Panini can't go out of business fast enough. 🤮
Then what card brand are you gonna have Panini owns all the card brands
Even before I watch the video the answer is no.
Nice video but there are not that good of a product
The answer is NO..
Do not buy, the cords on the cards are so flimsy
The old saying goes "Absolute is Absolute Garbage "
Please pin
😢😢Absolute is Absolutely Trash😢😢
Absolute garbage it should be called
Absolute garbage!
Such ugly cards
