$126 Hobby vs. $126 Retail Basketball Card Packs 🔥

[@davidko7306]

To be fair, it was one of the best possible pulls for retail VS one of the worst possible pull for hobby. Retail won but I’d take chance of hobby

[@WildHunter940]

Retail just about won! Love the Mailday pickups throughout the video Sage! 😊

[@SageTheCollector]

🙌🏻

[@dmac7403]

Lol the things dealers have came up with to try to add value to a card like a border color matches the jersey and the out of matching a jersey number lol ...

[@SageTheCollector]

It's just what collectors like, myself included.

[@kainslance]

I would love to pick up the Giannis and Middleton cards you opened. I dont know if you collect bucks also

[@SageTheCollector]

I don't have time to sell individual cards like that, unfortunately.

[@marcbarrington1897]

Caleb Martin being sneaky good for the Heat this playoffs. A nice pull!

[@SageTheCollector]

He's been great

Retail bringing the heat today. Hobby had some nice hits but not good enough. Thanks for sharing.

[@mayacardsky]

as a fellow demar collector… love the PC cards!!!

[@BrandonS458]

I pulled out of a 2021 panini illusions the case hit, tough cracked ice luka

[@SageTheCollector]

Nice 💪🏻

[@Bangpaulxu]

That turbo charge Curry is nice. Love these mailday and retail Vs hobby videossssssssss🙏💯💪 Caleb Martin patch auto was nice, especially a full auto lol. I would say retail won as much more hits.

[@SageTheCollector]

I don't know how Caleb fit his entire auto on sticker, but it was impressive!

[@GreatnessintheMaking99]

I’m new to this been two weeks into collecting have half a binder full of cards. I just want to know what’s the difference between hobby and retail?

[@SageTheCollector]

Hobby packs have a lot higher chance to pull better cards. That means they're also more expensive packs.

[@HighVelocityRips]

Love the blue rookie Giddy👍🏻👍🏻

[@jetssimulations3447]

Anyone know when the first packs for wembanyamas class will be available outside of the bowman?

[@SageTheCollector]

Hopefully before the end of the year

[@Beastdiesel1]

Tore a draft picks pack earlier and the first two cards were enes kanter and Dillon brooks 😐

[@SageTheCollector]

Oof. That's a rough start to any pack. 😁

[@MrLakers1991]

Why’d the red white and blue kum bucket get the top row treatment but red white and blue Lillard didn’t?

[@SageTheCollector]

Rookie color goes up top. Vet color sometimes. Lillard could have made the top row though.

[@MrLakers1991]

@@SageTheCollector right on man 🤙🏻

[@BigJBasketball]

Such a close battle! I might give a very slight edge to hobby just because you got a better auto and a couple numbered cards, but I’d have a hard time arguing with anyone making the case that retail won

[@SageTheCollector]

Both sides were slightly underwhelming, but it could have been worse

[@CrimpJuice02]

Retail easily, anytime you pull three Ants, a Wall Puncher and a shiny Bones Hyland you're in good shape.

[@CrimpJuice02]

Speaking of which I'll buy the Bones and McDaniels if you're selling.

Retail most of the time tells you on the back what box they come out of! Someone is lazy 🤪🤪

[@SageTheCollector]

Too much effort

[@pappyslaps]

where is a good place to buy packs?

[@SageTheCollector]

Depends what packs you want

[@pappyslaps]

@@SageTheCollector My dad loves card collecting but we never had money to buy packs growing up but now that I'm making some money I'd love to bond with him over opening some packs for next season, I'm not really sure what are good packs to open but we just love watching the season together, so would love some recommedations. Herbert went to my highschool so we root for herbert every week... thank you for responding!

[@SageTheCollector]

@@pappyslaps It's almost impossible for me to say what packs you should buy. I'd definitely start with some retail boxes/packs first though. Those are much cheaper than hobby packs. I have videos for every retail product. Just watch some of the videos, and see what cards you like. I only do basketball though, so I don't have any videos with Herbert in them. 😉
