[@JoesCardStache]

Thanks man. Glad you enjoyed it. More coming soon.

[@JokerzGallery]

Din (pronounced Dean) Thomas was an old school fighter. He was in the final 4 in the og lightweight tournament. He's now a commentator/fight analysis for UFC

[@klafxela]

Fought against b.j. penn, matt serra, caol uno. He was on season 4 of ultimate fighter: the comeback with serra, chris lytle and all those other old school guys

[@JoesCardStache]

I never knew that’s how you spelled his name! Thanks for the info.

[@sp123]

Wasn't he also a coach?

[@TheGoldenOctagon]

The way the card layout is in these kills me. 😂just put them the same way. Loved your Tito comment. If it were up to him. He came up with those words.

[@JoesCardStache]

Yeah. These things are a bitch to go through. Flip and rotate and flip and rotate. Haha.

[@mozzymorin3120]

Great rip Joe ... cool video!

[@JoesCardStache]

Thanks Mozz!

[@eNgaGe87]

29 minute video to open up 6 packs. Now that's talent.

[@JoesCardStache]

It’s my super power.

[@goble_ufc_cards]

Was hoping you would have got one of the BANGER packs for the channel! Didn't even touch top 6 out of the 20 packs 😭. Great video. GSP auto!! But both our packs AND the hobby box could have been kinder to you. C'est la vie!! Blessings Joe. Appreciate you.

[@JoesCardStache]

I really enjoyed opening them Robert. I’m psyched on the cards I got!

[@jasonvtsportsguy2692]

Hey Hey!! Nice rips!

[@JoesCardStache]

Thanks Jason!! Hope you are good man.

[@Freethecommons]

10:47 Joe starts actually opening packs.

[@JoesCardStache]

Sorry dude. I like to talk. Haha

[@MMAcardboardLLC]

That's a nice GSP, I think you did good.

[@JoesCardStache]

Thanks Luis. That card is pretty dope. Hope to see you at a show soon!

[@Maineventcards]

Cool video Joe, Ive enjoyed watching you and others rip some chronicles this year. As you said the origins and also the Obsidian inserts look awesome! might have to find myself one of those! I think the fact you got the Jalin Origins and then the GSP auto made it a worth while rip for sure!

[@JoesCardStache]

Thanks Damian! Hope you are good man. I really enjoyed your Vlog video. Keep up the good work!

[@Maineventcards]

@@JoesCardStache Thanks Joe!

[@bobbybadnews7054]

The Tito comment was hilarious and totally checks out. Congrats on the GSP. Even though Chronicles is hit and miss, with all the card flips it does get you 20% better with rubix cubes 😂

[@JoesCardStache]

Hahaha. I’ll have to try out a Rubix cube to see if I have improved.

[@NatiJustin]

Nice GSP! I went all in on a case Pulled a Khabib kaboom and Topuria 1/1 😊 chronicles was good to me. Hopefully Topps is coming back

[@JoesCardStache]

You crushed it with that case Justin! Congrats man!

[@JokerzGallery]

GSP saved that box! Nice card

[@JoesCardStache]

Thanks brother.👊👊

[@zegrasisinnocent]

Unsure of the value of the card for obvious reasons, but I did pull a 1/1 National Pride Mateusz Gamrot auto from one of these hobby boxes. Happy about that since he is pretty famous in Poland from his KSW champ days. Not as good as a 1/1 Khamzat pull, but you take what you get.

[@JoesCardStache]

That’s a great pull!! I like Gamrot a lot. I would love to see him fight Islam.

[@tank_9er]

Having him sign that origins card in yellow would look sharp

[@JoesCardStache]

💯

[@ernieb820]

I agree besides the kaboom and lightning strikes I'm not crazy about chronicles. Select is superior

[@JoesCardStache]

💯 Thanks for the comment Ernie!

[@MurphyMaximusUK]

Great to see you back Joe, that GSP Auto was a nice pull. The chronicles cards do look nicer this year but still not tempted to buy any, they just produce far too many designs and variations. I think Bo Nickal is very talented but he thinks he can beat a Chimpanzee in a fight 😂 That kind of arrogance will be his downfall when he gets top 5 opponents. Looking forward to your next vid Joe.

[@JoesCardStache]

Thanks Murphy! Totally agree about Chronicles and Bo. Haha.

[@modofatak]

I’m watching this in ‘24 and just lol’ing at how much you dismissed that Strickland auto! 😂 hahahah. I really hope you didn’t sell it. lol…you said “I don’t give him a chance in HELL at beating Izzy. I’m trying to sell this before the fight. “

[@JoesCardStache]

I did sell that card before the fight and I would do it again! I can’t stand watching Sean Strickland fight.

[@fightcardsnate]

I think 2022 Chronicles is the sweet spot with a balanced checklist. 2021 was the same dozen fighters in every set, 2023 is a bunch of fighters that nobody cares about.

[@JoesCardStache]

Thanks Nate. I did notice the checklist was a little weird this year. And I definitely remember opening 2021 and getting 20 cards of the same fighter.

[@boxalarmtrading]

Glad you’re back Joe! I really like those luminance, and I’m glad they added the Obsidians in this product. I have an NBA Obsidian card and it’s a beauty in person.

[@JoesCardStache]

Thanks Zac. Yeah the Obsidian is really nice in person. I’m a fan. Hope to you guys with a video soon.

[@NoPhlyZone20]

Love your videos brother, but how in the hell do you not know who Din Thomas is?! He's a former fighter but he's better known for his commentary these days. He does a little bit of live commentary during most UFC events & also does a lot of things like post/pre-fight analysis, UFC talk shows, etc. He's also 1 of the top coaches at American Top Team. Also, not to be "that guy" but it's pronounced like "Dean" Thomas

[@Freethecommons]

Sometimes it show when someone is a fan of the stars and the celebrities in the UFC, not someone who actually watches the fights or follows the sport itself. I would rather know the fighters personally like Joe, but I will have to settle for knowing things like who Stitch Duran is, and why Dana White got rid of him.

[@JoesCardStache]

Thanks for the info @NoPhlyZone20 I knew his name as a commentator, but I didn’t realize he spelled it that way. I’ll have to go back and watch some of these fights.

[@JoesCardStache]

Thanks @newmmacollector honestly, I want to know all the fighters I can but I have a lot of history catch up on.

[@zegrasisinnocent]

I like Bo Nickal a lot I think the sky is the limit for him if the UFC takes their time with him, like 1-2 years for him to polish his striking.

[@JoesCardStache]

Totally agree. Thanks for watching and for the comment. 🙏

[@cloudsey420sufccards]

I agree with you on yhe Kabooms bud. Glas to see you back also. Can't wait for my box of these to come in! Some of the designs are very nice and others i hate. Lol Not a bad box bro! Lets go Volk!!!!

[@luke_mma_love]

JOE! Production question: what do use for the overhead camera and how is that setup?

[@JoesCardStache]

Trade secrets. I’ll DM. Haha

[@luke_mma_love]

I love this product for all the reasons you don't like it lol. It drives down the price and I love the cruft. I just read a news story about Berlusconi having a warehouse of worthless art his family now has to deal with, and I identify wildly with that dudes issues. I have the same issues. I want it all. I want one of everything. But I won't rip it, when the majority of cards are not worth very much. typical contents of these boxes is worth 20-50 bucks.

[@JoesCardStache]

Luke & Berlusconi ❤️ Chronicles

[@BrashTracks]

Just ordered a case. Do we know for sure it's 1 kaboom per case? Or is it 1 per every few cases? I've heard mixed opinions, but I've seen a kaboom pulled from every case break I could find on YT. Can't wait either way.

[@TiagoNunesCA]

I agree it seems lazy and not buying it

[@JoesCardStache]

Thanks for the comment Tiago. Looks like Optic UFC will be coming out soon. I like that set way better than Chronicles.

[@CDubRealTalk]

Ten minute intro is heinous. Less talkie, more rippy

[@JoesCardStache]

Sorry Brother. I like to talk. Go watch breaks if you want to just see people rip product.

[@5mcory976]

I agree with your overall feelings on this product. I think I have pretty similar taste as you in cards. Feels like Pannini is for flippers and topps is for collectors. Good thing is most of the Pannini stuff I actually like is pretty cheap. Ohh and Din Thomas is the guy thats always on the weigh in shows. They pronounce his name Dean. Im sure you know who he is. That card is actually pretty cool. Love his personality.

[@JoesCardStache]

Thanks man! I never knew he spelled his name that way.
