First Look 2023 Contenders Football Blasters autograph out of retail

We ordered some cards online and got them already. You get to see if contenders are worth the purchase this year. Did they change them enough to want you to get them? We are still on the fence about getting more.

Congrats at any ink at this point. Usually you do not get autos in these. Ramblin- you are correct. Usually the base cards are all vets. Only the hits are rookies. I haven't bought any Contenders retail in years. Used to buy the megas when hits, including ink were guaranteed. But, since then, retail has been EXTREMELY rough. Not even sure when they stopped making megas. I used to always buy hobby, until the covid invasion. I still have 2 boxes of 19' here. I mainly collect ink, so loved Contenders. IF you are licky enough to hit the right rookie auto in Contenders it can be huge, but a lot of auto in these you can't get anywhere else. Good for collecors. Not great for invaders only in it for $$$. But, boxes of ALL products are ridiculous at this point. Hope you're having a great weekend. This is the 1st Contenders I've seen so far. 👍

I’ve heard the autos are hard to hit in this product this year. We are glad we did hit it. The mem although cool aren’t game worn. Might as well not make them in my opinion

@@rippinandrambling The only thing you used to be able to hit in blasters was mems. That's why I quit buying them. Nice to have rookies niw too. 👍

I like these very sharp looking. I may buy a box.

[@rippinandrambling]

If you find one, I hope you hit a bunch of Eagle cards!!

Nice rip! I like the look of Contenders this year!

[@rippinandrambling]

They are growing on me. I like that I get mem or autograph in a retail. Not as bad as before

[@MeanDEANCards]

Im a fan of the product not a Hobby box 😂 but Dib's on cowboys

[@rippinandrambling]

You might be 1 of 10 fans of this product. Definitely not a bookend though. You would be in the middle 😂

Watched a guy open 1 case and didn’t pull 1 auto. Nice job

[@rippinandrambling]

A whole case and no auto? That seems like something Panini would do! Thanks for watching. Have a great weekend

Contenders is always like this. Cracked ice or bust

[@rippinandrambling]

I think they are a little better than the past couple of years though.
