*1 RETAIL BOX vs 3 BLASTER BOXES - OPTIC FOOTBALL BATTLE!🏈 FOR $120, WHICH IS BETTER?!🤑

[@ItsJustKF]

Walmart around me doesn’t carry blaster boxes. Wth.

[@michaelmercado6680]

Blaster boxes for sure. I pulled a mahomes downtown and Lawrence blazers from 8 blasters

[@skybcards]

Jeeshhh💪🔥🔥, it really doesn’t get much better than that

[@Phoenix_Cards]

Thanks for the amazing content. For thick cards what PT do you use for toploaders?

[@skybcards]

Thanks man! 130pt (pretty sure), if not it’s right around there

[@Phoenix_Cards]

@@skybcards Thanks so much!

[@StratBurst92]

Blasters over retail box every time.

[@Jagermanjenson]

You may have definitely blown your load for the year with the 3 Downtowns lol. I have yet to pull one and have ripped about a case worth of Blasters. Thanks for the video, Blasters are definitely the way to go judging from your retail box luck.

[@Jagermanjenson]

Scratch that, pulled a DT today

[@briane8714]

Thanks for the comparison. I was wondering how they compare. Of course I can't find any in the wild of either, but I keep looking.

[@D1Waddle]

Man optic blaster boxes are filled with case hits! I opened my first one and pulled a Romeo Doubs rookies kings out of it. They just feel like inserts. But donruss and donruss holiday were hard for me to get a case hit until I opened like 12. I got a Aaron Rodgers full name case hit.

[@lukeciulla7325]

I got Blasters taking the W! Way more cooler inserts. Thanks for sharing!

[@skybcards]

Agreed my man!

[@firehousecardz]

Are there autos in this set?

[@richardanzlovar5372]

Retail box will be better today.

[@aumibertschy]

are the retail boxes the same thing as a hobby box that sell for $600+?

Solid battle! But the miscuts and printlines are a big miss by the manufacturer.

Love watching ya rip these. Our Walmart and targets down here only have score and nothing else I check each day. Enjoy the videos man! Blaster won this

[@skybcards]

Thanks my man! Yeah my Walmart and targets have been terrible lately too. I’ve been having to drive over an hour out of town

[@stevang4720]

Blasters hands down. Talk to your local card shops instead of buying through retail stores. I picked up a case of blasters for $575 at mine! Walmart blasters at that....big pulls, Pickett blazers, ridder DT!

[@skybcards]

Dang dude i need an LCS like yours… lol, any shop within an hour of me isn’t very good. Nice pulls though 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great vid. Yea Walmart increased the price of those retail boxes. I thought they were at 220$ the other day when I checked. Won’t buy them unless they drop back to 120$ which means I doubt I’ll ever buy lol

Lmao i wasn’t alive back then bro

[@liamzak1009]

When select blasters?

[@skybcards]

Hopefully soon!

[@tbonecollectiblez]

Tough choice, I'm leaning blasters were better as it seemed like there was more variety. U got mems, assorted inserts and similar amount of Parallels. But u got 2 more packs in retail...

[@Jenn.H.10]

I haven't opened any 2022 optic yet :( But I personally think the blasters are loaded and way better than the retail boxes FOTL Was a little better than the normal retail but the blasters are definitely better than the retail boxes so why pay more money just to get some color and stars. But if you get like a Picket,Purdy, or a Tolbert for the cowboys team match

[@skybcards]

The hard thing about the retail boxes is you only get 2 star rookies per box. There’s 100 rookies in the set so it’s gonna be very hard to pull Pickett or Purdy

[@TrendDrivers]

Do you send your cards to grade? And who do you recommend

[@skybcards]

PSA all day

[@georgelittle7063]

Where can I buy a retail box?

[@skybcards]

I got mine from Walmart but they raised the prices so for now i’m thinking only eBay

[@tommytwodimes-tntcardscoll6342]

I’m glad you went back to retail after Hobby crushed you bro!!!! Nice video. Love how much content you get out there. Trying to get my son to get those videos pumped out to help our tiny channel😂

Just subbed to you. I just recently made this channel ripping packs so I know the struggle. GL bro

[@skybcards]

Hahah retail is where the ❤️ is. And definitely man, don’t be afraid to pump it out there! Will make great memories plus you can always look back on everything and see how much fun you guys had together!

[@Cobra_Diamond]

I'd prefer to have Blasters with the Purple Shocks over the Retail. It seems like you have a better chance in Blasters over Retail. For the Star Parallels, I would only want to get the Matching Dallas Cowboys players.

[@joshuaramirez835]

How much do the retail boxes go for

$100 retail

$100-200 resale

[@youtuber55629]

With the retail boxes it’s like your just paying for the extra base cards and not the likelihood of better hits. Thanks for your vids man I was contemplating buying one and I’m not anymore haha.

Ya def. Dem blasters just dem print line boxes suck I got both my jets players purple wave with the print line keep ripping

Usually you do well, but both were pretty bad because of the miscuts, however I liked the Stars Parallels, DIAMOND HANDS and that Pickett and Metchie. Hope you hit on the Fanatics drop, I found out about it from Vikings 95 and both of us didn't win. 😞
