I had 2 orders of 3 packs each ordered last night and then watched a couple of youtube videos, cancelled them right away. I will now take that $100 and buy the cards I want haha great video though. Thanks for taking one for the community.
My 6 had 3 green velocities total. Absolute trash. Side note, I did hit the grail. I walked in my Barnes and Noble and the employee was just finishing stocking. 6 Optic Megas on the shelf. Felt surreal seeing them in the wild. Also the Target vendor I spoke to said they should start hitting the shelves this week. Very limited amount. Like 6-12 boxes per store
This was on Friday 6/7. Suburb of Chicago. The B&N by me uses Excel same as Target. Same guy does both stores. Spoke to him and he rattled off his stores and what they're getting. It varied between 6-12 boxes per store but did say it depends on if the warehouse ships them.
I seen them on the shelf and was gonna buy all of them but I only got 3. Something told me seeing optic on a shelf seemed pretty odd so I came to RUclips. Happy I saved my money
That was rough! Hope you have better luck next rip and thanks for sharing! Saw that Dick's Sporting Goods had these available online, I'll now by saving my money. Panini is straight up robbing people for the Downtown chase.
2023 optic football blasters are it. walmart mega because the blue hyper are ok. there tough aswell more downtowns are coming out of blasters. fatpacks/retail box it depends if you hit a green velocity/silver holo cj/levis/bryce/ar15/puka . retail stars silver holos aswell
I purchased this product. Also i am brsnd new to the hobby. Literally have 0 cards and about to begin the journey into the card world. I bought 23/24 prizm basketball fat pack, 23 optic donruss football fat pack, 2024 topps chrome baseball hobby box and 23/24 optic basketball hobby mega box. This is how i start the collection.
I was hesitant to buy any from Target online. Now after watching this video definitely not buying any. Not worth the gamble! For $15 a pack every pack should come with at least one green velocity, 3 base rookies and 1 insert or holo. Panini straight robbing collectors! Thanks for sharing!
12 packs of nothing. Only card I sleeved was a Joey Porter Jr. base, I live near Pittsburgh. Somebody somewhere has to be getting something decent but I have yet to see any.
O U C H !!! All you can say, right?😅 Well Josh Allen/Bills fans are gonna start going through what Mahomes/us Chiefs fans have went through the last few years. As you Starr having to pay massive $$ for just a few players you lose all the other talent. So, you not only find out who your QB really is and us he as good as you think. You also find out if mgmt/coaches are the real deal as thet gotta be draft/free agency wizards. You saw our WR core the last few years. Is Josh's better or worse? 🤷♀️ In the next couple years we'll also find out if Boooorow 🤮, , Herbert then Tua, Lawrence, etc.etc are good. With a good QB you get like 3-4 years to be loaded around them before you start losing everyone. I see 2 huge Bungals players already begging to be let go. Mahomes, I think all can agree, could easily be the highest paid QB of all if he wanted that. He's always willing to negotiate and give up some salary to keep talent around. Will these other QBs be willing to do the same? I certainly haven't heard Boooorow or others like Watson, etc bending at all. Mahomes says he feels like as long as thet keep winning the $$ will take Care of themselves. Others could learn from that. Guess Jones, Tyreek, etc don't think that way. 😅 You win- you get endorsements, etc.. Hope you are well Degen. Thanks for sharing! 🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈 Take Care/Stay Safe ✌ I did hear Tyreek whining about $$ after Waddle got paid (expected as much) but then smartly walked it back and acted like he was "joking"(not) Bet he won't be a happy camper being 2nd fiddle, but guess we'll see.
Panini charging around $1 per card for that product is criminal. A Stroud RC can already be purchased for less than $20. They literally are just charging us a premium price for a lottery ticket with god awful odds.
This is literally panini officials scraping out every dime they can before they are forced to shutter their doors and windows. What are they going to do, survive on WWE alone?
Panini and re-sellers are laughing their asses off all the way to the bank..I refuse to pay for that garbage.. thanks for the videos and hopefully people will come to their senses..
That was rough. I just opened 3 Target fat packs today, which were the first Optic I have ripped this year. I must have been rewarded for my patience for not over paying for a blaster. I got a Levi’s Downtown and Puka green. I got 3 more coming and I am expecting what you got
These dont appear to be any different than years past though. I dont know why everyone is so shocked at whats inside. Go watch rips from the last couple years of Optic value packs. 1 rated rookie and 1 parallel/insert the rest is base. They are a couple more dollars than previous but then again isnt everything like that right now? Just trying to give some perspective that everyone seems to be overlooking. I have 15 of these coming myself Im not cancelling mine. As soon as people start posting vids of pulling DT's from these everyone is going to run to grab them again.
JUST STARTED WATCHING. SURE WISH YOU WOULDN'T USE THE PHRASE holy crap. THERES ONLY ONE WHO IS HOLY AND HE DONT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH CRAP. THANKS 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Optic is total trash this year. And yet, so many people keep buying more and more of it. If i wasn't for the Stroud factor Optic would be one of the worst and over priced products I've ever ripped! I'm holding out for Select and spend my money a bit wiser. If it's anything like it was last year with all the inserts, die cuts, parallels and numbered cards, it'll be sweet! And a MUCH better investment than this Optic JUNK! Those "Value" Packs seem to be the exact opposite of what they are. I mean, I see absolutely no difference (outside of the green velocities, but they might as well be purple shock/pink parallels) than the Optic blasters, except it's like taking a blaster and paying $15 for a pack from it. No thank you, I'll pass. @degenrips ... sorry you had to find out the hard way brother. On to the next!

Bought one blaster on a trip to Fresno. Got the Dell holo and a Stroud purple. I’m stopping while I’m ahead.
My 6 had 3 green velocities total. Absolute trash. Side note, I did hit the grail. I walked in my Barnes and Noble and the employee was just finishing stocking. 6 Optic Megas on the shelf. Felt surreal seeing them in the wild. Also the Target vendor I spoke to said they should start hitting the shelves this week. Very limited amount. Like 6-12 boxes per store
What. Really already at Barnes?
This was on Friday 6/7. Suburb of Chicago. The B&N by me uses Excel same as Target. Same guy does both stores. Spoke to him and he rattled off his stores and what they're getting. It varied between 6-12 boxes per store but did say it depends on if the warehouse ships them.

My Walmart had a full tray. Bought one pack and sorry that I did.
@@StratBurst92 I tested my luck and brought one more pack and pulled a green velocity puka and now I’m not buying nooooo more.
$225 never looked any worse (15 x 15)
Unless you have 5 percent off the 14.99 cuz of the target card and free shipping, lol
Saving Pennies to lose dollars
That was rough! Hope you have better luck next rip and thanks for sharing! Saw that Dick's Sporting Goods had these available online, I'll now by saving my money. Panini is straight up robbing people for the Downtown chase.
I salute your service Degen! Tough packs
🫡
Thank you for your service!
Been hunting for optic, but man not sure if I should continue! Thanks for the video man!
2023 optic football blasters are it. walmart mega because the blue hyper are ok. there tough aswell more downtowns are coming out of blasters. fatpacks/retail box it depends if you hit a green velocity/silver holo cj/levis/bryce/ar15/puka . retail stars silver holos aswell
Wow that was rough! I have some on the way and I am officially worried lol.
Thanks for clearing the shelves of all the bad packs, my dozen on the way are sure to be bangers!

"Its murdaaaaaa" - Ja Rule
Holla Holla!
I hit a Stroud Green Velocity 1st pack, I should’ve stopped there. But I opened remaining 6 packs for nothing!!!
Ouch 💖 Thank you for the update.
This makes me soooo excited to get my 3 packs in from Target lmao
These are what I expected. I ordered 3 myself, it can only be better I am hoping.
I was hesitant to buy any from Target online. Now after watching this video definitely not buying any. Not worth the gamble! For $15 a pack every pack should come with at least one green velocity, 3 base rookies and 1 insert or holo. Panini straight robbing collectors! Thanks for sharing!
Would it kill panini to put 3 greens in every pack again?
10 base cards on trash. Should be $5 max
12 packs of nothing. Only card I sleeved was a Joey Porter Jr. base, I live near Pittsburgh.
Somebody somewhere has to be getting something decent but I have yet to see any.
Im gonna follow for the lone fact u are a phins fan. 1st video ive seen from u. Nice job.
Welcome aboard my friend thank you
Are there downtowns in fatpacks?
Yes
How is there only one parallel/insert per value pac that’s a rip off prizm basketball has way more parallels & the pac cost the same not much value?
The stroud tax
Ouch! I opened a few optic blasters and bowed out.
Too expensive for very little return.
1st, still havent seen a single package of Optic anywhere period. 2nd, ouch!
Don't sleep on that dorian thompson robinson. I just bought a holo and 2 rookie autos of him.
I agree I think he’ll get a shot to play, then I’ll sell before he takes a snap.
@@degenrips I bought a silver prizm auto of him for 25 bucks. Great deal if he ends up being as good as some people say he could be
GUH. But hey, almost 16k subs!
Ouuuuch, I found 1 mega box in the wild and it was a disaster. Only One I have found tho
O U C H !!!
All you can say, right?😅
Well Josh Allen/Bills fans are gonna start going through what Mahomes/us Chiefs fans have went through the last few years.

I did hear Tyreek whining about $$ after Waddle got paid (expected as much) but then smartly walked it back and acted like he was "joking"(not)
Bet he won't be a happy camper being 2nd fiddle, but guess we'll see.
Graded Stetson Benette cards go for a decent amount.
Bought 3 of these packs and hit a downtown!
Thank you for your sacrifice
Panini charging around $1 per card for that product is criminal. A Stroud RC can already be purchased for less than $20. They literally are just charging us a premium price for a lottery ticket with god awful odds.
great channel, hes a scientist buying puke so we dont have to
😂 the last few packs contained players I’m not even sure are actual NFL players
Keep ripping brother
I bought 3 Optic blasters a few days ago. Got absolute dick lol
What’s up DR
Not my bank account
Dam. My first chance to buy optic and have 6 on the way. looks rough
No retirement plans this week, DR!
Nice video, but i think you grabbed my packs by mistake. I cant buy a hit out of any box/pack as of late.
Coming to a 50% off bin near you soon.......
I got 9 coming and now I’m scared..😳
Optic fat packs are rough
jaren hall isnt that bad show my man some respect
He’s great, they only brought in JJ McCarthy and Sam Darnold to make him better.
Yea. Better at wearing a headset and relaying info. He won’t even be the clipboard holder
He was terrible when he got a chance to play
This is literally panini officials scraping out every dime they can before they are forced to shutter their doors and windows. What are they going to do, survive on WWE alone?
Oh man those fatpacks are horrific
These are literally $15 for packs with as many hits as a blaster pack
Panini and re-sellers are laughing their asses off all the way to the bank..I refuse to pay for that garbage.. thanks for the videos and hopefully people will come to their senses..
Two words… Gar Bage!
I think you need a gofundme to help recover from that. I got 6 packs coming. I'm not looking forward to it after seeing some vids today.
Hah, one of these days I’ll muster the energy to make merch. I only fear nobody will buy it.
That was rough. I just opened 3 Target fat packs today, which were the first Optic I have ripped this year. I must have been rewarded for my patience for not over paying for a blaster. I got a Levi’s Downtown and Puka green. I got 3 more coming and I am expecting what you got
Ouch....
Ouch.
These are so rough, literally EVERY video is the same 😂🤮
Definitely a gamble. Spending so much to then get a big that only covers the expense to get there. 🤦🏻♂️ Money pit.
Panini should be prosecuted for this
These are awful, why did I order 24 of them from Target yesterday 🤦🏻♂️🤢
Damn it, I just ordered 300 bucks worth. UGH. Not going to watch anymore rips, to depressing
Brutal.... Sorry man
Woof. Sorry man
Christ dude I have 8 of these coming. Things are absolute trash.
Yikes that's gotta be one of the worst on the channel all time. Thanks for the content DR
Yikes
I'll say it again people reselling this trash on line for outrageous prices these people are just as bad as panini seriously 😂
Nice try !
These might be the worst product of the year lol 😅
Yeah these are a pass for sure lol.
These dont appear to be any different than years past though. I dont know why everyone is so shocked at whats inside.

You got smoked!!
Man i just bought 5 of these they look horrible i might return them lol 🗑
Man....yikes lol
Way too much base cards
You just can't stop yourself, can you? I understand...it's not your fault...it's a disease 😔
It’s hereditary my grandfather was the biggest degenerate gambler I have ever met
Every video I’ve seen all trash pulls sad
Wow bro! U got smoked! I cannot believe they give one non base card per pack! Pathetic!!!!
Yeah 14.99 and one non base card. 🤮
Everyone is getting spanked buying these. Don’t buy anymore
Lmaooooo gotta love trash hobby
These packs suck so bad.
What an awful product. 😖
This product is hot garbage
JUST STARTED WATCHING. SURE WISH YOU WOULDN'T USE THE PHRASE holy crap. THERES ONLY ONE WHO IS HOLY AND HE DONT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH CRAP. THANKS 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Wow... You need a life.
