The math is based on packs, each hobby box contains 12 packs of cards, usually there is only 1 auto in a pack, so if there are 12 packs total and 2 of those 12 packs contain a auto, then the odds are 2/12 or 1/6, but since I got two packs instead of one, my odds of getting one of the two autos is 2/6 or reduced to 1/3.
Haha, are you talking about me specifically with the probability I was stating in the video, or do you mean that basketball enthusiasts tend to be overly optimistic about what to expect inside a product in general?
I get what you are saying but you also need to factor in quality vs quantity for example retail mainly has green prizms and occasional numbered cards and a whole box cost $30 while a hobby box has autographs numbered cards to 1 and more rare parallels, a hobby box cost $660 so two packs of hobby is pretty equal to 3 retail blaster boxes at $30 a piece
Why would you buy individual packs from a card store? They search all the packs before they put them out on the shelves have you guys never heard of oack searching lol
I have heard rumors, whether they have been verified and apply to every single store either local or otherwise I have not found concluding evidence. I agree with you it’s easier to trust a sealed box from the manufacturer but would you have said the same thing had I pulled a Paolo auto from that pack?
Yeah I think overall that is what I am seeing but I also have to say there are some pretty lame hobby boxes and a couple solid value retail products that make it hard for me to say Hobby 100% of the time, but as a general rule of thumb I agree with you
Thanks man! I have been humbled by the amount of views, it’s crazy, makes me want to keep going! Yeah….not what I was expecting about as bad of hobby packs as you can get haha
Try to be a little more positive broski lol dam, I like your content man I watch your videos but you ain't never going to hit nothing being that negative. You got to put that positivity in the air! And hobby really isn't worth it, I don't know why but the last year I've been pulling better cards out of retail. Hobby is too damn expensive anyway, kind of takes the fun out of collecting, can't afford that stuff in this economy!
I've always found that when ya talk sh!t on the cards & poopoo them even before you start ripping, then continue...its gunna be trash all the way thru! Talk them up & have actual freekin hope you're gunna pull a #1 Stunna!!
Do you ever get the sense that we are addicted to the rush of buying worthless junk?
🤣🤣🤣 sadly all too often….yes
Cardboard crack
Couple of thousands addicted
lol im only a few months in and i am.
Worthless Junk all day 🔥
Tough break. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah oh well, you can’t win them all. Thanks for the support 🙏
Great video! A little rough but thanks for sharing!
Thanks man, yeah not a ton of hits unfortunately, but I hope it provided good value as a comparison on why to expect head to head
What is a silver LeBron good for?
Maybe $1, but bron is just popular player
how is there a 1/3 chance of pulling an auto if there are only 2 autos in a box of 144?
The math is based on packs, each hobby box contains 12 packs of cards, usually there is only 1 auto in a pack, so if there are 12 packs total and 2 of those 12 packs contain a auto, then the odds are 2/12 or 1/6, but since I got two packs instead of one, my odds of getting one of the two autos is 2/6 or reduced to 1/3.
So pretty much no matter what you get or how much you spend with panini you will get a dollar back in cards for every 100 you spend.
🤣🤣🤣
That's how I felt opening a recon basketball box. Not a good box.
Really? My Recon box wasn’t horrible but it’s hard to pull a big product from Recon IMO
I love the comments on these videos because basket ball enthusiasts never seize to amaze me with their misunderstanding of probability and statistics.
Haha, are you talking about me specifically with the probability I was stating in the video, or do you mean that basketball enthusiasts tend to be overly optimistic about what to expect inside a product in general?
Great video!! Maybe zoom out a bit while opening.
Thanks for the tip!
Did u open 3 boxes for hobby so that was 72 cards in total while the retail u opened 2 packs pnly 24 cards in total..not a fair comparison in numbers

Good stuff man. Subscribing. Keep going
Thanks for the support Erik! Just ordered an Optic Hobby Box, so look for that video soon
New subscriber here. That was the shittiest 2 hobby packs ever 😂
Haha I know right? What was that about T-Mac? That’s it? Come on man!

I hit a Silver Paolo banchero out of a blaster
Oh really? Congrats man that is a big pull out of a blaster!
@@sawyergsports yes it was. my brother was so mad
Rough rip. Looked like one of mine. Lol.
Oh just commented on your other comment from the megabox video, you understand my pain haha
Dont know if i should invest in this product. Blasters
agreed my friend, I wouldn't invest in prizm
IMO it’s better to just save up until you can get a hobby box. It’s more expensive but the value is exponentially better than retail
Yeah I think overall that is what I am seeing but I also have to say there are some pretty lame hobby boxes and a couple solid value retail products that make it hard for me to say Hobby 100% of the time, but as a general rule of thumb I agree with you
Yep. Laugh through the pain blud.
haha😂, although getting really angry and raging would make for some high quality entertainment
congrats on the 1k views. Prizm is wrong for these blasters.. and those hobby packs were brutal.
Thanks man! I have been humbled by the amount of views, it’s crazy, makes me want to keep going! Yeah….not what I was expecting about as bad of hobby packs as you can get haha
Your married 😂
Ripping retail 😢
Haha I don’t know how to respond to this
Prices dropping soon.
It better be
Keep it up brotha 💯🔥🔥🔥
Thank you sir 🙏
Ouch
haha yeah....that four letter word describes it all, well I can think of some others, but I like to keep things PG on the channel

Them retail ones look just as bent as the ones i got were lol
Yeah….it’s annoying when they are bent like that, you can’t even stack them in a pile
blasters should win but i hope not
It was pretty close but I thought the blasters had more value, they both sucked though haha
Hobby wins
Both were pretty bad
I've always found that when ya talk sh!t on the cards & poopoo them even before you start ripping, then continue...its gunna be trash all the way thru! Talk them up & have actual freekin hope you're gunna pull a #1 Stunna!!
Sounds superstitious to me, but it doesn’t hurt to be positive, I can agree with you on that. I just try and keep it real with certain products
I think Panini Won 😂😂
😂 haha I think you are right
🤭 Promo SM
hahaha yeah.....what a group of packs
The pain in your eyes after opening the hobby packs 🥹
Haha so much disappointment! I wanted an autograph even if it was just like Austin Rivers or some one like that
