Hobby vs. Retail Basketball Card Packs - July 🔥 #'d Cards + Two Autos!

[@cason2006]

I am going with retail for the win of this battle! I would like the Bones card! Thanks for sharing. Have a great week!

[@Kascaide]

Love your openings, especially Jordan hunts!

[@SageTheCollector]

Thanks! 🙏🏻

[@thesheriffess12]

That was a very interesting battle, Sage! Shame you didn't get the value back, but I do also really appreciate your commentary on what you think/feel about upcoming rookies and veteran players are like. Plus you include the estimated price certain cards are worth! That's a bonus so please keep doing that. 😀 It's not often you know where the ball (also no pun intended) park is for auto's, inserts/parallels and numbered cards would sell for.

[@SageTheCollector]

I see what you did there. Puns are always welcome here. 😉

[@hossofcards]

150 points for a Kawhi is painful! They did the same to me with a Miguel Cabrera auto recently, I feel your pain Sage! Congrats on the ink haul this round!

[@SageTheCollector]

It was a Panini Pouch Punch™! 😡 It's so ridiculous. Sorry you got shafted as well.

[@gavrieee1188]

I absolutely love that Ant Special, though retail still won just because I love the amount of pack it gives you. Just here to enjoy the show!

[@SageTheCollector]

Definitely a lot of packs w/ retail for sure

[@robertkeenan7530]

Ive been inspired to kind of casually start collecting again. Check Walmart and target for cards whenever i go in but so far I haven't been able to find any. You got lucky to find some.

[@SageTheCollector]

There are a lot of cards available on Target.com, Walmart.com, and Fanatics.com.

[@robertkeenan7530]

@@SageTheCollector thanks. I enjoy your style of collecting. It resembles how I used to do it when I was younger back in the early 90s. I also had a bulls binder.

[@SageTheCollector]

@@robertkeenan7530 Sounds like it’s time to start a new binder! 😁

[@marlexsalazar4102]

that was a lot of packs nice vid as usual. keep it up. wouldnt mind that jam master for the set im trying to complete

[@SageTheCollector]

$100 of retails packs is a lot of packs 😁

[@Amiller180]

For the tops 5 cards it was a tie, but overall I would say retail since you got to enjoy opening more packs!

[@SageTheCollector]

I can agree with that. 😁

[@crashgray3110]

Retail for the long term win. I believe in Poku!!!

[@alexvancuren3672]

How are you feeling about dalen terry! Also keep an eye out for Drummond and the white dragon cards now lol! Can’t wait for this season #seered

[@SageTheCollector]

From the few highlights I've seen of Terry, I'm liking him. Raw, but definitely has talent. Kinda like P-Will when they drafted him.

[@basjelode]

maybe retail..hm. love that ant-card tho :) would go for the lebron. enjoy your vids as always :D

[@SageTheCollector]

Thanks! 🙏🏻

[@joemartella9591]

Definitely retail. Did you include one of the Cade's

[@seanbailey8545]

I was about to complain I haven't seen Cade from retail in a hot minute.....then this video happens lol.

[@SageTheCollector]

Lots of Cade in this rip!

[@joemarsh2050]

Retail for the W Id like the Bones. Ty

[@FinesseLort]

Hobby did you dirty, the beef stew would be nice! 🙏🏼

[@jaytaybrossportscards2877]

Retail takes the W for me on that one. /10 auto from retail? Sweet pull. That sucks with those panini points. Hopefully that type of situation will be a thing of the past.

[@SageTheCollector]

Yeah. 150 points for a Kawhi rookie auto is insane.

[@mihiraminsportscards9143]

Ouch (for recon and that Kawhi auto)! Panini needs to do a better job replacing any older redemptions, especially for cards worth over $100. I’m actually giving hobby the win here just because the Edwards is a pretty tough pull along with the GOAT Snell auto!

[@SageTheCollector]

GOAT Snell?? 😄

[@basketballman4038]

Awesome video these are my fav

[@SageTheCollector]

🙏🏻

[@rafaelcorona7814]

Its retail for me... always enjoy your video..

[@SageTheCollector]

Thanks, Rafael! 🙏🏻

[@BigJBasketball]

That might be one of the closest retail vs hobby battles you’ve done yet! I think retail just barely squeaked by for the win with…the points card! And is this the second time you pulled a gold auto /10 out of a retail SKU??

[@SageTheCollector]

I'm really good at pulling /10 gold cards. Just not good ones! 😄

[@xeeksrips4235]

I am a pelicans fan so I like that Tony Snell great card

[@SageTheCollector]

👍🏻

[@xeeksrips4235]

👍🏿😂

[@andrewrossi7164]

for the price you pay still think retail gets you more stuff to enjoy Sage but that's just my opinion, I'll take the Okoro, thanks brother 👍

[@SageTheCollector]

$100 of retail is almost always gonna beat a $100 of hobby, but…hobby can produce that one huge card, so sometimes you gotta roll the dice to get something nice. 😁

[@vindzemedze]

retail win since it has the Gold auto..😅 hey it’s an Auto and its m’s GOLD too 😁

[@xeeksrips4235]

Great vid

[@Bangpaulxu]

Points card for the win. I think retail for the win this time.👍👍👍

[@jvkicktensai]

Retail takes it plus an auto? 👍

[@jtkoromah7461]

woahh an auto to 10 thats nice!

[@SageTheCollector]

It was a nice pull. Too bad it was a player no one cares about 😄

[@jtkoromah7461]

@@SageTheCollector True.. retail never treats me right😮‍💨

[@red0332]

It's a close one.. I think hobby wins. LBJ would be nice. Stay safe

[@emirkulovic713]

Wow so many packs

[@SageTheCollector]

Lotsa packs 😁

[@mbdjr4389]

Hobby W😎👍 like the lebron James

[@bradmccubbin1569]

Retail wins! I would choose the Lebron

[@talen671]

Retail easily won that with such a low numbered card. I’m all about that low number. Much cooler even if the value doesn’t say so.

[@SageTheCollector]

Yeah, pulling /10 golds is always fun

[@johnm3411]

What do you use the points for ??

[@SageTheCollector]

To buy cards on Panini’s website.

[@BigCRichy]

Retail wins cause guessing it was cheaper.

[@SageTheCollector]

It's always $100 of hobby pack vs $100 of retail packs.

[@7LEVELCards]

I'm going to have to say that it was a tie. They both had good pulls but kind of match up evenly for me. No need for any free cards so if I win give it away. Thanks love the channel bad rips as always.

[@SageTheCollector]

It was a pretty close battle for sure.

[@nickavignone2830]

I think retail is better because you get more for what you pay for

[@SageTheCollector]

That's usually the case for sure

[@vercingetorix3.0]

HObby was better. Id like the Grant
