Anyone know anything about this or whether or not it's a good deal?

I'm sure it's a great deal. Guaranteed to be full of random 80s video game cards.

Guru

Come on...seriously, is this something you would purchase?

It has to be profitable for the people repackaging this. I doubt it's a good deal.

Looks like you get about half your money back - unless you assign a lot of value to random team logo tchotchkes.

looks like a great idea......to get screwed. I would stay away from this one.

with enough deliveries, you could become the next guy to appear on that cable show about hoarders and how their families arrange interventions and then the tearful admission that you're sick and need help, which leads to your own hit comedy cable cooking and home renovation show, so go for it, i guess.

I agree with this thinking.

I think a lot of this is just getting something unknown in the mail every month. There is the LootCrate which has been around a bit and they seem to have some decent stuff in it. Although they are not sports related. I think overall its a good idea if they put relatively decent packs and items in them. There are some reviews linked on the Facebook page they have but I would imagine they were sent out for free to get the reviews. There should be some real reviews up on YouTube or something like that once they start sending them out. I looked at the site and they showed the wax boxes they were pulling the packs from and it looked to be a decent selection of boxes. This doesn't seem all that much different than those re-pack boxes at Walmart and such. I am halfway tempted to try it and put up a video opening one myself.

It's actually a pretty good idea. I have about 300k cards with a ton of starpower that I'm struggling with what to do with. The bulk buyers only pay about $5-$10 per 5k cards which is essentially giving it away. If that's what CollectorCrate is paying they can afford to throw a lot of $2-$5 cards in the boxes and offer a good value for people with no collecting focus.

If anyone orders one of those, the company will be so shocked that this is what will happen at their office.

Some funny stuff here. I went ahead and ordered one for the hell of it. I will update and give it a review. I do need some New Kids on the Block packs for a gag gift for some friends.

Which tier did you purchase?

I just got the bronze one to see how it goes. I understand a lot of people being apprehensive about this idea. I have seen that these types of products can turn out decent if they do it right. Plus I like a mystery and taking a gamble sometimes.

Unboxing if anyone wants to watch it. Overall the package was not to bad.

Hey man, thanks for breaking that. Not bad, but not sure I would want to drop the money on it now that I've seen it.

Thanks for the unboxing video. Agree with Guru in that I don't think I would spend the money on that after seeing it.

Nice shoutout to otwcards at 16:29

Ben ... thanks for sharing that break! Hope your daughter liked the gum! lol

I don't collect anything after '89 so I dont know what those packs go for or whether it was worth it. Hope it brought you enjoyment. Thanks for the video.

I may be mistaken, but I believe that the OTW in scotts ID stands for over the wall, not off the wall.

Thanks for being the guinea pig and sharing the results. I wonder if they added more team branded oddball items and offered team boxes (Royals, Orioles, etc.) if that would add more appeal. They could extend this to not only the oddball items, but the jersey & auto hits as well.

I just can't imagine a Yankees fan, for example, being thrilled with a Red Sox mini-pennant and prospect jersey or auto vs. being guaranteed Yankee items.

Yea I have to agree. Would have liked a Cubs pennant and sticker better. Over all I don't think it was to bad. I would like to see an unboxing of the higher tier ones to get a feel for the packs that are put into those.

I'm curious if the silver and gold level have better packs?

Bronze = 10 Random Packs (Low-Mid End)
Silver = 10 Random Packs (Mid End)
Gold = 10 Random Packs (Mid-High End)

Thanks for the video. Although not for me,the pack offering was better than I thought it would be. Wonder what the silver/gold level box would contain pack wise. If you buy them let us know what they contained.

Got the Silver Tier CollectorCrate this month. I liked this one better. They have added the options of picking your team as well as 2 alternate teams. It was nice to see the 82 Donruss and the 93 Finest in this one. Video link below.
