Ol Schooner has a nice autograph

[@gamedaylegends515]

Thanks for sharing. Fun box opening

[@smalltownrips]

Thanks for checking it out! Greatly appreciate it!

[@pantherbreaks81]

Enjoyed the hobby rip! They look really nice this time around.

[@smalltownrips]

Thank you! Thanks for checking out the video!

[@lionslucksportscards9835]

They really improved this product this year. I agree with you guys…the base cards really pop. I’ve seen so many numbered cards out of these as well.

[@smalltownrips]

They definitely have improved it which is nice and doesn't hurt as bad. Thanks for checking it out!

[@nickytwotimestradingcards]

Nice auto for your PC! Love the Jalen Hurts cards

[@smalltownrips]

Hurts will be in my backpack at Nationals so dont let me forget! Thanks for checking out the video!

[@thomashaas5212]

Nice Schoon signature.... those base cards look better than the paralleled sets I collected in the 90's!!! Great video.

[@smalltownrips]

Yes, the base cards look pretty good which is exciting! Thanks for checking out the video!

[@ScaryTerryCards]

Very decent box! The last auto, he has a smaller miniature autograph than Anthony Richardson. LOL!

[@smalltownrips]

Thanks for checking it out! So close!

[@charlesgarnes3443]

Look better than past years

[@smalltownrips]

Agreed! Thanks for checking it out!

[@MeanDEANCards]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 he said im new here 😂😂😂😂 good looking cards right Gibbs on a couple 😂

[@smalltownrips]

I try to do my best but sometimes I am just not sure what I am saying lol Thanks for checking out the video!

[@profitlauncheryt]

Very well done, stay connected! 21 done

[@smalltownrips]

Appreciate it!

[@LittleGiantscards]

Honestly the autos weren’t bad. I have seen full boxes of no namers. Great rip

[@smalltownrips]

That is true. I at least heard of about half of them which is nice. Thanks for checking out the video! We appreciate it!

[@itradingcardscollectibles8595]

Fun rip as always. Base cards look nice. B Robinson was a nice looking card. While the has five autos, i was disappointed there wasn’t a lot of numbered cards. 🎉

[@smalltownrips]

They were a nice surprise! Thanks for checking out the video! We appreciate it!

[@FFMCardsandMore]

You beat the odds on that one. I have seen a few of these not get an on card auto and mostly mems.

[@smalltownrips]

I havent watch many but the ones I have seen we did do better. Thanks for checking out the video! We appreciate it!

[@fairssportscards]

Wanted to get a few hobby packs but the LCS was dry. Contenders is a set that I hate to like. I really enjoyed last years case hits and want to see what they did this year. Can be a fun rip unless you get all no names. Love that they went less base and more numbered! Great video as always

[@smalltownrips]

I am with you in the hate department here. I really would like to see a case hit out of these one way or another lol. I was super suspect of them in general but better then I was thinking which is always good! Thanks for checking out the video! Congrats & hope all is well!

[@fairssportscards]

@@smalltownrips thank you! Things are looking great here!

[@hitboxsportscards]

I do like the five autos a box, but Contenders has a lot of 'not great' player autos 😅 I think overall it's an improvement though.

[@smalltownrips]

Yeah ...5 autos with a chance at a couple big names so you at least have that. The look is for sure a step up in our opinion. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video!

[@PickSixCards]

What up STR n BH

[@smalltownrips]

Hey Hey PSC hope all is well! Thanks for checking out the video!

[@MeanDEANCards]

When i hear Hall pass i think of the movie 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@smalltownrips]

right? 😂

[@Thomaswilliams-yx9rt]

Nice rip to expensive for me

[@smalltownrips]

Thanks for checking out the video!

[@justinloncar9316]

Man that is a steep box

[@smalltownrips]

For sure! We do it so you dont have to! Thanks for checking it out!

[@justinloncar9316]

At the price paid I'd rather get black or gold standard

[@smalltownrips]

That wouldn't be a bad option at all! Thanks for checking out the video!

[@srjwildcat3589]

These look more like Contenders Optic than Contenders. Normally even hobby cards are paper like the retail. Think its good to combine them into this & just skip Contenders Optic. They were always identical except Contenders was paper & Optic was shiny like these. Ive seen 2 FOTL boxes and your is only the 2nd hobby box Ive seen, but so far everyone has gotten all their hits. In fact 1 got an extra hit. NO- NO HOBBY is worth the $$$. Hasn't been since the horrendous covid invasion of 20' FYI. In fact very little retail is worth it at this point. Thats why you hear us TRUE collectors so unhappy. We aren't in the hobby for the $$$, we're in it for the love of the sport/hobby so they have priced most of us out of the hobby at this point. Pretty much the only ones buying up all the hobby and most retail at this point are the deep pocketed covid invaders, scumbag scalpers/secondary market sellers/WhatFnNot/Wannabe breakers, etc... So NO Carly, theyre NOT worth the $$$.😅 Thanks for sharing! 🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈 Take Care/Stay Safe ✌

[@smalltownrips]

We were surprised by the hobby look. Nicely surprised! Yeah prices are rough but we still enjoy it! If you in it for the money you are going to lose for sure! Glad we arent! Thanks for checking out the video and hope all is well!
