and aired it on Ken's Instagram account:
I've only watched a few minutes of it so far but it looks like they pulled three #57's and three MJ stickers.
Not gonna lie,I was waiting to see if that large glass of wine gets tipped over at some point and just ruining all of those raw cards lol.

They busted something like 15 cases of flawless as well, at 40K a box. Definitely a two tiered hobby today, more so then at any time in the past.
We have reached peak card IMO.
Who amongst us wouldn't want to have this kind of fun if we could afford it?
Spot on. This is what I would buy and crack for the fun of it if I had the money.
He just jumps on whatever the new trend is. How many 86-87 fleer box did they open up? I see the pulled 3 Jordan rookies and 3 sticker rookies.
Any legit 86 Fleer basketball box should have at least 3 of each in it and possibly 4.
When I opened mine in 1986 I pulled three Jordans. One had a factory wrinkle - of course, the only card in the box that had that issue. Still, the other two were really nice.
Oh wow thank you learned something new.
This is why a natural box vs a frankenbox commands such a huge premium. It is easy to determine what is in each pack based on the top card. Every legitimate pack follows a standard sequence 99% of the time.
I challenge anyone to find me someone more awkward than Ken Goldin.
Seems like it would have little interest/meaning if you could buy every card you want in any grade you want at any time, x10. Then what’s the point? The chase is the fun part. Finding good deals to build your collection, etc. with Drakes resources that aspect is out the window.

He's turning into the John McAfee of cards. Dude seems to be getting more eccentric each year. Wanting to become a celeb and all. Just gross.
No GI Joes?
It wasn't Pokemon.
In the 60s, they would've been accused of "Conspicuous Consumption."
The best part is they act like it is amazing to pull a Jordan rookie card out of a box of 1986 Fleer, and most collectors know that the box will have 3 per box as long as it is legit. Smarter move would be to keep it sealed and buy a bunch of 9’s for $25k. Would not surprise me if this is being done because Goldin has a bunch of unopened Fleer boxes he is wanting to move and this is the hype/promotion ahead of it.
Nobody can forget his amazing record-breaking sales(insert sarcasm here) around this time last year when he sold not one but 2 Jordan PSA 10’s for the exact same amount of $738k on the same day. Way above market value and mathematically impossible to do in a legit blind auction. Surprisingly enough those cards crashed down to the high $200k range within a few months,

Did they get anything good from flawless? Can you link that video?
General consensus is break was a bust from value standpoint - a few LaMelo RPAs and I think one logo man? The hosts were beyond obnoxious. And not in a charming way. I think the concept is promising, but the production values were horrible. I could see celebrity pack battles becoming a thing.
Kiss me twice.....let's party.
Estimates were that the returned about 175K in cards on 20+ cases. They got slaughtered.
About the equivalent of me opening a $20 blaster box and getting $2 of commons. No biggie for D.

Sure, but pretty embarrassing for Panini. There wasn’t one card worth more then a third of the box price. On a sample that large, you’d expect at least one case to have a card or cards that could carry the case price.
No kidding! Horrible value.

I mean I'm all for gambling, will be in Vegas next weekend. But when I sit down to play BJ at least I have a shot at winning, these high end breaks are a joke, all the downside with with little to none of the upside.
With Panini losing their license to Fanatics in a few years they're probably going to be printing cards like crazy until then making it an even bigger gamble pulling anything of value.

We played pack wars in Vegas at $25 a pack in 1990ish. 4 of us each won a Jordan rookie. No one wanted the stickers so I took all the stickers and other cards, 3 Jordan stickers included. I had the Jordan’s graded many years ago. The rookie graded a PSA 7 and best sticker was an 8. Still have em
