    Some really colorful cards you are getting from those packs. Gotta wear "shades"🕶️ when opening those packs.

    Funny. 20 letters in his name. Wouldn't know it by his signature. Really poor penmanship by young players today.

    I think that Schwellenbach is actually a pretty nice pull. Cant say for sure on price but know he was highly regarded as an Atlanta pitching prospect and I believe he was a Top 100 MLB prospect. Now that he is playing he seems to be doing very well. So I would definitely penny sleeve and semi-rigid or top loader that guy.

    I get that you could have done better but with my limited modern box opening you can get some absolutely profound dud autos. Like 26-year-old guys who maybe had a 5 inning sip of coffee and wont see the light of day again. The market ends up being worse on pitchers not named Skenes than it is for hitters but still think that is a real nice rookie pitcher auto card to pull.

    Well, thanks for all the analysis on this guy. Plus, the encouragement!
    That's the tough part about these prospects/Rookies. One never knows how they all will pan out?
    Including, Position players.
    One thing to mention and a bit of excitement.
    That numbered Jacob Wilson card I pulled.
    This young lad has great potential indeed, along with the actual card.
    Thanks again for your interest and anticipation!
    All of you guys!

    It would be FUN to actually see his whole last name on the back of his Jersey!

    Yeah, esp in the Mozaic!
    Spectacular and very vibrant colors indeed!
    Like I mentioned earlier. I can't remember any product where there is fantastic COLOR in every pack!
    Sure, they all might not be valuable but certainly beautiful!

    Oh, by the way!
    Thanks again for the heads up on sending that damaged (scratched) Jackson Merrill Heritage card I pulled a while back!
    I sent the card in to
    TOPPS almost 2 weeks ago, they confirmed they received it! Hopefully, in the next few days I'll be getting a wonderful surprise in my mail box?
    I'll keep ya informed!

    As it should be. You buy and pay for new cards not cards with that degree of damage (a little damage happens). Hopefully they make it right.

    Agree on Jacob. He might be my favorite player now. It was a shame he got injured and think he may have played injured cause his #s were awful before he sat for a while. But recently had 3 hit games in back to back games. So still some hope for a batting title for him. Just need him to be his old self pre-injury and Judge to get back to his post-All-Star .225 BA and he has a good shot. I have four cards of his with PSA that have been graded are in QA Check status that I am checking on every 30 minutes or so. 😁

    Appreciate your passion for ripping retail, but it sure feels like burning money. I’m guess the value return is in the 10% range. I stopped ripping for that reason - I LOVE opening packs but getting ten cents on the dollar was when I gave up. Honestly don’t know how fanatics and UD get away with selling these boxes full of nothing.

    I know hobby is brutal as well but wondering if one hobby box is a better play than 5 retail boxes.

    Yeah, I'm getting to agree!
    I already told myself, not too long ago...
    Soon, it will all come to an end!
    I'll probably just hold my Stash ( without buying more) then wait and hope.
    Give up and hope my Ship, my boat, my dingy, to come in!
    Then reap in what's left.
    Thanks guys
    I'm too old for this stress and what you said, " getting in return only 10c for my $1."
