BUT ARE THEY WORTH THE MONEY!? 2021-22 Panini Illusions Basketball Asia TMall Boxes (3x)

[@SageTheCollector]

Now you see why I bought 10 of these. 😁 The inserts that have the Asia red/gold parallels look awesome. And all the inserts that I’ve pulled have been in excellent shape, and have all come back as 10s.

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Hahah yeah that make sense to me now. Super fun rip for the price 😁😁😁

[@day1savage]

I seen sage open them so I did the same.

[@ethanvanvorst4492]

Honestly openings like this are great because there’s no expectations so you can’t be disappointed, there’s really only upside

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Yes that is Ethan! I was very relaxed because the pressure was off. Made the rip exciting really!

[@louielozano5534]

Really fun opening, those cards are purdy

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Yeah they are nice for sure!!

[@bobvonk4873]

I like the acetate cards out of the mega's but illusions is not my favorite set, some of the inserts are wat to busy or do not make sense. But for the price it is a fun rip. Fun video again

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Yeah those were really nice!! Hoping I could find some more mega's but not the case. Thanks Bob!!

[@pacobs6628]

Big fan of illusions. I’m actually putting together the TOUGH insert set for this year. I started that after pulling the Scottie Barnes TOUGH and A.I. auto in the same hanger pack. Great rip!

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Nice!! That is a cool goal for collecting!

[@jtbantog]

the tmall inserts look sick! awesome rip for good value

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Cheers!!

[@williamwood8388]

thanks, I will definitely pick up a few boxes. Thanks for the content

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Nice! Le tme know what you pull!!

[@kennydv544]

Love the King of Cards inserts! Have a beautiful Luka orange /75🤩

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Oehhhh nice one! Now I want that :P

[@jeffgreer2844]

Illusions was always a fun rip. The operation detonation and shining stars inserts are really sweet looking.

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Really sweet looking! GOing to hunt for that Luka one now!

[@Firecracker321g]

I think Illusions is a sweet looking set but it definitely does not get the hobby love that it should. For that price I think i might need to grab a few boxes

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Totally agree! Really fun :)

[@Baller4Life_]

Illusions is great for the price. Nice design, cool inserts and I like the old legends in this set.

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Agreed!

[@warchildskateboards]

Decent set, decent pricepoint. Makes sense to get some to rip. Nice pulls!

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Yeah just pure fun with low risk!

[@abhinavreddy3296]

love the operation detenation parallels with that red and yellow

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Yeah those are amazing!!

[@FFMCardsandMore]

Fun to find a product that brings such excitement for a good price! Thanks for sharing!

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Yeah this was such a fun rip for the price!

[@markmarcus7727]

Illusions was a pretty fun product but the parallels are so hard to spot, luckily with these Asia packs its a lot easier. I ripped a few of these back in the day in my memory there was 1 numbered card per box, never hit any good players unfortunately. But Congrats on the Luka parallel, nice card!

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Yeah that is so difficult with this set. But also because I haven’t ripped it before, I am not sure what I am looking for 🤣. But happy with the Luka for sure!!

[@darrenlai490]

looks pretty cool the operation detonation parallel, but maybe for illusion the ceiling would be lower too thats why its cheaper

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Yeah that is probably the case!

[@justinvalencia1643]

Them red and yellow tmall parallels look immaculate especially in the illusions cardset

[@BobTheCardCollector]

100% So fresh!! I want to rip more now lol

[@justinvalencia1643]

Ya the asia parallels of the inserts are really cool for a cheap rip you can't go wrong.

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Yeah! Fun, and only upside!

[@TurkeyFarmerTTV]

Really cool cards coming out of this set. I like Illusions, but some people don't like the set.

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Yeah!! And for this price! A fun rip!!

[@LeTrezzo]

This was definitely a fun break. Those boxes are a bang for your buck! 😁

[@tomchang732]

Those are some nice looking inserts

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Yeah some cool cards!!

[@VintageStarWars75]

Illusions is a highly underrated product, I love the inserts especially King of Cards. Value wise not the most interesting but design wise absolutely worth it. Looking forward to Illusions this year! And Bob, you are not talking a lot, you’re rambling 😂 that’s what’s makes the channel great! Keep on rambling man!! 🤩🤜🏻🙌

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Totally agree! I go design > value any time. Just want to rip packs hahah. LOL I will keep rambling on. Can't help it really

[@godisgreat8462]

Awesome as always my friend

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@BarkinGoodStuff]

Nice rip! They got as cheap as $20 over here so I ordered a few. Haven't opened them but hope I can get a numbered card.

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Wow that is nice!! Let me know if you pull something nice :)

[@m1ller499]

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Rob Dillingham is my chase. Alex sarr and Dillingham are my two rookie of the year contenders that I'd be chasing.

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Cool! Lot of people are going for those two! Going to be a fun year 💪💪💪

[@beckerchan9580]

I got the luka number 1/25 out of a select monster box from Wal-Mart and it only had one of these illusions tmall pack in it and it was in it

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Wow, nice one!! Would love to pull that one too :)

[@petermitchell7824]

That dame is so fire. I opened two of these a few weeks ago because they were on sale for $25 and hit a KAT /25.

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Nice! That is a cool hit too!!

[@RoadToAHobby]

Let’s go Another bob video! That same card sick!

[@BobTheCardCollector]

You know it! Thanks!

[@pamn1220]

Illusions has some cool looking cards that grade well just to bad they have very little value. Fun cheap rips tho

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Yeah that is a shame, but still a fun rip!!

[@justinkropa7358]

Stephon Castle could be good to chase next year. He will be playing with Wemby and should get a lot of attention.

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Yeah that is going to be a fun one!

[@NTSportsCollector]

That LeBron insert is so sweeeet, sheesh! Dave and Adam's are way to go for us Europeans! Thanks for this, I might order some to Croatia!

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Yeah this is a nice one to pick up for a good price!! And the Lebron, yeah!!

[@MeloTheDon]

I'm glad you mentioned pricing and justifying a cheap buy, do you ever feel like you spend too much on collecting basketball cards? Or ever feel like you have an issue or an addiction too it? Not implying you do by any means but just thought to ask as I know for me it can be quite addicting and expensive!!! Great vid man

[@BobTheCardCollector]

That is a really good question. And something to think about! In my case, I am extremely lucky that I have a disposal income to be able to afford my rips. So that makes it "safe" for me as it won't jeopardise my livelihood or that from my family. When my income wasn't this level, I ripped too, but on the budget. I had the same mind set as I had now. If I am addicted, I think yeah I get a big rush from openings packs. But again, if I would not have the money I would not rip this much. I wish it would be cheap like this rip all the time, so everybody could enjoy it disregarding their disposal income. I hope that gives some context and thanks for asking!

[@MeloTheDon]

@@BobTheCardCollector Love the answer, totally agree I think thats why its so good to be able to watch you open such amazing and sometimes exclusive or pricey product. It allows everyone to come along for the ride in excitement of what you may hit. Keep it up man, keen for the mavs gossip when the next season gets underway.

[@BobTheCardCollector]

@@MeloTheDon that is why I started the channel!!. I was ripping this crazy product myself, and I figured other people might enjoy to see it. As I did with pack man, Sage, loot box and all the others. Thanks for you comments and thoughts that is what enjoy, talking to other collectors and basketball fans!

Also Alex Saar is my pick for who i'm chasing he looks nice, he's French but he played in the NBL and i'm from Aus
