I really like these “boxes vs. breaks” videos

[@jacobrathbun5570]

agreed

[@jackilus._.9279]

Me too

[@SureFeelsGood]

what are breaks? it means you split a more expensive box with other people? how can you trust that they are even going to send you the cards that are yours?

[@FtFCards]

Man both were pretty tough this time around but I perfer ripping to watching others rip for me. Altho obviously have bought into some breaks on stuff I didn't want to pay full price for so both have their place in this hobby!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@PackmanCards]

Yea I’d rather rip myself too but breaks definitely have their pros. Thanks for watching!

[@rjharding7957]

I’d do boxes all day part of the fun is opening the packs in my opinion it makes it more suspenseful 💯

[@tommysurfing146]

Ripping cards is what I love most about the hobby. Strangely enough I dont watch alot of sports other than college football but I love to collect cards and keep up with the hobby. Always has been that way

[@zebraallday8332]

Thanks for doing the comparison. I'd personally would of just bought a 850$ card and been done with it. I do see the draw of opening but seems very expensive

[@Firmfiasco]

Yup the prices for both are too high or inflated.

[@pokemane8081]

Good point. Or $850 worth of cards would make you thousands in about two years. Lamelo silver chrome one is only around 100 right now.

[@constipatedinsincity4424]

There's so many to choose from. I would have to say 89 Fleer Baseball. When it 1st made its way to Nevada I bought 26 packs and pulled 17 Billy Ripken FF. I sold 1 to Smokey's BB card shop for $75 .I was the 1st person in the state to possess that card. The error was Billy Ripken FF bat knob had an obscenity on it. Fleer was taking them back and destroyed them. They released white outs, black ⚫ box,scribbled and Saw cuts. I sold 8 shortly after for $150 each and 2 for $250 each. Now I have 4 PSA 9 2 BCG 10 . Ever since then Billy Ripken follows me 2019 summer I opened up a box of Fairfield Football. And guess who popped up? Billy Ripken!

[@Adam-ds4yc]

This is a very cool series - "boxes" versus "breaks". Even though this box wasn't particularly great, I still feel like the box won this battle. Two Ants, a Haliburton, and an RPA that is a similar level of Rookie to the two autos in the breaks. I would like to see other sets in this series including Optic.

[@jayfron6012]

I think for products like optic, select, etc youre better off buying a box yourself, just you could hit multiple rookies from diff teams. For premium products like noir, NT, spectra, etc, i feel like breaks are the way to go. The breakers i work with do 10 spot/3 teams breaks so you have a much better chance, or they do 10 spot hit drafts where order is randomized to decide the pick order.

[@philiphewitt1801]

@@jayfron6012 I totally agree & the reason I got in the Hobby was 2 break

[@franzboxpack1967]

Thanks for the sharing knowledge bro.. mostly i like PYT much more cheaper.. if have budget maybe i will try to have my own box break in future. For now my videos is mostly PYT and singles.. thanks bro .

[@hughfaulkneriii45]

My favorite is optic. It was one of the first products I ever opened up back in 2017 (mahomes rc year) I love the design and think it is cleaner than prizm and select. Love the content and keep it up🐐

[@DLUXTHACHAMP]

I enjoy breaks because of the bond of the people in the break, downside is if one of my favorite teams is locked or too expensive in pyt. I haven't did much on boxes. Only mega I did was 2021 Draft Picks Chronicles. It was nice to go to Walmart to see this on the shelf, I got lucky enough to get the last one. I rarely get the luck of finding megas in store. I mostly have done cellos and blasters myself and I like it. I don't get the rush like I do with breaks. I hope to get some more boxes to rip, but I know I might stay consistent with doing breaks. Thanks for the video Packman.

[@jayfron6012]

Great series. For me personally ill enter breaks for premium products i would not be able to afford a box of. The breakers i do biz with do 10 spot/3 teams each, or will do hit drafts for boxes with 10-20 cards(randomized order of who gets to pick first). I also like not having to buy diff size sleeves and top loaders, and if you hit they can submit to psa for you. I do like ripping low-mid tier product, like donruss, prizm(if i can find retail), optic, etc. It is a ton of fun and hitting big while ripping is unmatched excitement.

[@brandonswift8261]

Had a thought for a series kind of similar to this - buy two boxes, let's say national treasures. You're planning to keep one for personal and host a group back on packman breaks with the other. Once the group break is filled, the break group picks (majority rules) which box they'll have as the group break and which one you have to open for personal. Adds an extra gambling component to it and then fun to see if packman or the group won the break

[@enak3834]

Keep up the great work I like being able to watch unboxings, when I can’t get my hands on my own. It feels like I am unboxing it with you. But in terms of your question I like boxes more

[@PackmanCards]

Thanks! Hopefully we can pull some sweet cards together!

[@PureLonerMK1Kombos]

breaks are way more fun and cheaper then opening a personal box but on the personal boxes the value is definitely there. I like group breaks because you get only your favorites instead of getting a little bit of everything in personal boxes . so like heavy collecting favorites players I prefer over boxes with tons of mixed plays that I'm not a big fan of. Love your channel by the way big fan!!

[@PattersonPacks]

Both are very fun ways to pull some serious cards. Personally I like to rip my own boxes but mix it up every once in a while and join a break or two.

[@ronaldmusser1485]

Outside of the product reviews, definitely my favorite video format of yours. Optics would be nice to see on here

[@PackmanCards]

Thanks! I’ll definitely try to do one of these for Optic!

[@PSU4ever11]

loveeee this series. I like when you enter breaks and don’t find out what you get until you open it on camera, too. so sick.

[@PackmanCards]

Thanks! Excited to do more of these in the future!

[@justinrivera6749]

This is definitely the best series! I think both are great because you can either hit big in the break or the personal.

[@benf2324]

My favourite set has to be optic. Just a clean design that both vintage and modern collectors can appreciate.

[@mackerzzs3793]

wow.. 2nd episode of the box vs break.. present sir Ryan.. 🔥🔥🔥

[@javiswaxrips3021]

I think it also depends on what kind of break you get into as well. I've done PYT case breaks and gotten away with huge cards in one stream. But doing 1-3 box breaks I'm not sure if they're totally worth it if you get a bad roll and get a team that only pulls a couple base cards. However, it can never beat the feel and fun of ripping your own cards, so there's always that little tradeoff plus the risk of getting a bad roll.

[@jasonvtsportsguy2692]

Awesome video!! Appreciate the opportunity!! Thanks for sharing the love of the hobby!

[@PackmanCards]

Thanks for watching!

[@austenreid1257]

Very smart idea… don’t know why I’ve never seen someone try to compare this before. Well done man 👍

[@PackmanCards]

Thanks!!

[@duenas1988]

I really like select, it looks so high end and centering is pretty dang good!!! The difference levels of the cards its pretty dope too.

[@pokemane8081]

Centering has not been that good for me

[@duenas1988]

@@pokemane8081 at the price they are going for you'd expect a better job of quality control. My guess is they are going to get worse since all they plan to do is mass produce since they are approaching their end.

[@dkap1378]

I've had success in both formats. Depends on the day how I am feeling.

[@kobejez]

watching Packman videos makes me calm in an stressful day :)

[@PackmanCards]

Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!

[@lambeaujackson9562]

I like this Break vs Rip style of content! Keep them coming !

[@zhichen2799]

I like buy box better, but sometime I get in GB because cheap, If i don't get anything just buy singer.

[@lubosgiono9843]

prizm draft picks - my first big pull was from this set and i just cant help myself to stop buying :D

[@ericherman660]

NBA Select Hobby box is my favorite - These videos are awesome man thank you!

[@DionysusTV1]

For me Hobby Boxes wins hands down esp that RPA 👌

[@pokemane8081]

Love this idea.i have been getting into a bunch of breaks here lately but haven't gotten my money back yet

[@SteveAKAfleX]

I prefer group breaks. It's awesome watching with 30+ other people all cheering when someone in the break hits a big card

[@johnstacyii4827]

There's a certain rush or high when opening a hobby box. I have bought 3 and did great on 2 of them.

[@davisfamily1679]

Really like this series. Gotta do some more of these. Shows the risk in both ways of doing it.

[@ministryand3fs885]

Cool video. I think the teams you end up with in the breaks will determine how good your cards will be. If you picked only min, Cha, or sac in the breaks, you'd have less cards but probably walk away with better value than the box... Just my opinion. If not for Hali and 2 antmans in the box, this wouldn't even be close.

[@dankokying]

Nice info. I love NBA donruss optic, it's inserts are outstanding

[@jeremymaharaj860]

Mo cheeeeeks 😭😭😂🔥🔥

[@ejm9259]

Appreciate the time you take on every video! Favorite on youtube not close

[@PackmanCards]

Thanks a lot!

[@ScottMarkman]

Love this video. If at all possible at the end to put a total value of the cards for each. That would be a huge help.

[@grahamhang178]

Decent pulls. But could have been better on the autos and patches.

[@zacharyeast412]

I'm biased towards that Mo Cheeks, but that Tye Dye to 25 auto for Terry probably the best card overall. I also prefer ripping packs myself

[@Kelly_surfdude]

I've bought in on many breaks but lost on more than I would like to admit. But I also can't get myself to pay crazy ebay prices for resale so breaks is what I can do for now.

[@Gmd0428]

Panini select is definitely my favorite. I love the look and my best pulls have come from select basketball.

[@enjoir]

Series is cool. Just got into breaks myself and i find it expensive for boxes... but this was a rough box of select you got.

[@2catadventure]

That Select box was rough. Love the comparison series though :).

[@thadrand2875]

I really liked the comparison video… I have never joined a break. I have always enjoyed ripping packs…

[@indonesia5star]

I like 1. Select 2. Immaculate 3. Prizm in this order

[@nathand8469]

$ I would say without seeing the video first , The $850 on breaks was the better deal . About to watch and see ..... Thanks for the videos and sportscard info .

[@PackmanCards]

Thanks for watching!!

[@noamnap5393]

I really like the chronicles because the value is crazy and I actually like them more now because or packmans video so big props to him. I’ve been buying a ton of these boxes so thanks. 😊

[@raleigharcangel8619]

There are pros and cons for each. It just depends on someone's appetite.

[@roblowe6086]

I liked the video. Great concept. Feels like it was break even.

[@PackmanCards]

Thanks! Hoping for better luck next time!

Very curious how this goes with 2021 optic. Love the idea keep these up !!!

[@PackmanCards]

Thanks! Excited for optic!

[@jonfisher1782]

SICK SERIES!

[@harpalbanwait6534]

I like these videos a lot. I would probably open the boxes instead because you are guaranteed hits instead of possibly getting nothing from breaks. I would say the box won with the Precious jersey auto and the Halliburton and Ant cards

[@uyuy72]

Is it normal not to topload or penny sleeve rc, sp, and parallels now???

[@bradlawler2245]

I like Mosaic the stained glass cards are sick

[@wesleylaurel2625]

I’d still say the box won. I would much rather buy a box over breaks if the money was all that same. At least I know I’m guaranteed the hits on the box. With that being said.. I’m dying to get into one of your NBA breaks lol! I just keep missing them!

[@alimesrour]

To be honest, opening packs is way more fun and usually a better way to walk away happy. I personally think investment wise a person would be smarter to just spend $850 on some of the nicer pulls you can get. Heck you could probably buy 20-30 Anthony Edwards single rookies from select for that much and then send them in to HGA or another company to grade.

[@elyado1]

select are my favorite, want to buy one retail mega box but are imposible to find, box the way to go

[@Jewfro44]

I get this but breaks are always a cheaper way to cards from the team you collect at the fraction of the cost. Still more so for singles.

[@leapheap6837]

The box breaks won. But I rather break my own box. Better luck next time.

[@grif3024]

Very unique idea for a series. Hopefully more to come in it.

[@PackmanCards]

How well do you do? Is it worth it when you average it out?

[@haimsabbagh7319]

Love these videos. I’m a fan of hoops boxes, feels like you’re always getting something decent.

[@King_JappyJoe]

Love this series. Want to see it done with NFL Select pls

[@milesmonson29]

I like how retail is blue. It won’t bring down the price of the base ones from the hobby box. Select football retail made the hobby drop a lot because you can hit the same cards from both hobby and retail.

[@tychilders5198]

When packman uploads it’s a good day!

[@JMOS]

Noir is my fav. Those cards feel classy

[@mixersports4123]

great vid as always but 850 a box for that is insane!

Thanks! Yea the price is way too high

[@OutsideDuhBox]

Should have added one more to the competition...VS just buying a card off ebay haha..hell might get you sponsored 🙂

[@SpursCards21]

If you take 1 of the 2 Ls, rotate it and curve the bottom of both Ls up, you get a W 😃 So a W overall LOL Thanks Ryan for sharing! Take care 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@PackmanCards]

Love that thought process 😂 Thanks for watching!

[@globalpixels8945]

Hey mate, i also packed a achiuwa rookie jersey auto, i got 5 out of 199 does the 5 bring up the value as it matches the jersey number he wears, if so what would be a good price to sell it for? Thanks

[@secondhandheat6713]

Your breaker needs some penny sleeves,, at least! Throwing cards like that raw in a team bag is crazy

[@LadySniperSwaggYT]

:) was wondering when you were going to do another one of these

[@calicardrips301]

I will take boxes over breaks always. I had the Warriors for a 5 hobby box of certified and not one wiseman. Never again for certified or breaks. I’d take box because of the Ant RC, but just barely. Love the content always. Keep it coming bro.

[@menos1273]

What if you did a video where you have a budget of $400 and you use $200 of it on boxes, packs, or repacks and the other $200 on slabs or single cards. As someone who is pretty new to the hobby, it would be cool to see what option would be a better option to grow the collection.
