Love the videos Sky B! What do you do with all your extra base cards? Any tips on selling low end cards?

[@paolotandoc9486]

This is giving me prizm football vibes. As always, thanks for doing this review. It definitely helps me with deciding how much to rip.

[@dre20748]

Greatly enjoy your content!! keep ripping!! it's interesting that the hits always have some type of defect

[@skybcards]

It’s ALWAYS like that… very interesting haha

[@i_get_buckets303milehigh4]

Love me some giddey and green brother man sick pulls as usual. Nice review as always brother man. Keep up the fire video my man. Favorite card content creator on KZbin by far. 💪🙌

[@donavancrabtree]

You just keep upping your game it’s wild!! The majority of people in the hobby are retail don’t ever forget that! You da 🐐🐐

[@kinghhh69]

Love the videos! Keeps up the good work 💪.I feel like select are putting less n less cards in packs now a days. N charging more for less cards lol 😆

[@skybcards]

Thanks a ton brother, and yeah that’s the vibe I’ve been getting too. Kinda sucks😂

[@SCJ_YT]

Nice rip Sky! Excited to get my blaster of this in!!

[@skybcards]

Hopefully you pull some bangers 🤞🤞🤞

[@justincastro2848]

Love the rips bro. This one is just brutal. Congrats on Barnes flash.

[@skybcards]

Thanks bro and yeah, can’t win them all for sure

[@C0L1SSH]

I have always enjoyed watching rips and randomly picked this set to start getting into the hobby... have been through 6 blasters and I feel like my best pull is a tri colour scottie. Does anyone have suggestions on what retail basketball sets to rip this year? any tips would be appreciated. loved the vid though. thanks

[@RobloxRNGOfficial]

Optic is good

[@505memorabilia]

That was hard to watch. But I haven’t seen anything getting pulled from the Blasters, Cellos or hobby. So I think your right. May need to wait a bit let them sell down and a few restocks and maybe the fire starts. Thanks for sharing 👊✌️

[@bhdemoreel]

Nice review but I'm now I'm kinda worried about my smaller order of Select basketball blasters since you didn't pull anything super crazy. The best pull I got from last year's Select basketball was an Ant man courtside red orange flash or shimmer. Also I think the channel would appreciate it if you reviewed the Select basketball Hanger Packs

[@vyprkngsnk]

I bought one hanger pack today and pulled an elephant 🐘

[@nicholasmacris9555]

a year later but i bought a hanger pack the other day at cvs and pulled a gold Kemba Walker #10 out of10. I can't find how much it is worth. Really nice looking card.@@vyprkngsnk

[@edbeatty3569]

Thanks for the info on the select blasters I will have to try a few I have opened around a half dozen of the select football and I pulled a Chris Olave rookie signature card and a trey burks redemption auto

[@kendrickcoochyamptewajr5948]

Thanks for the review. Don't know if u will open many or even one. Due to my store don't restock that well. Hahahahaha gotta go to the big city to get any.

[@vibesgames9753]

[@skybcards]

Always!

[@standing0]

I'll be sticking to Select Football 🏈, thanks for the share.

[@skybcards]

Don’t blame you!

[@random_main1984]

I have 3 blasters and 8 hangers coming, One Cade flash or shimmer I'll be happy being a pistons fan. Thanks for the great videos.. Keep it up!

Hopefully you have better luck than me brotha 🤞🤞🤞

[@mykentuckycottage9780]

Awesome vid!

[@skybcards]

Appreciate it😎

[@UndergroundCC]

I have had the same luck as you. I haven't ripped any Optic Basketball this year. What's you thought on Optic?

[@skybcards]

Optic was more enjoyable than select but for me, Prizm is the best format this year

[@fralanhernandez2994]

SKY, LET'S GO BROTHER 💥💥 PULL SOME BANGER'S MY BROTHER 👍

[@skybcards]

That’s always the goal brother 💪💪💪🔥

[@chancewithcollectibles6934]

Not sure I'm excited about reviewing this for my channel. Select basketball for me last yeah was extremely rough and this year doesn't seem any different.

[@everythingcollectibles]

I might get one and open it on Christmas! 😉

[@skybcards]

Ayeeee hopefully you hit a banger!

[@brentmiller7775]

I think they printed these to the ground too lol my Meijer had about 30 of these sitting on the shelf. They did have a nice sale so it was 31.99 for them. Nice rip as always bro!

[@skybcards]

That 20% off was no joke!! 🙏🙏🙏 hahah

[@donavancrabtree]

26.99 at my local Barnes with the 10% off

[@Bangpaulxu]

Those orange flashes are fireeee. 🙏🙏🤯🤯💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

[@skybcards]

Select man 🔥🔥🔥

[@rhettsarsany4329]

Retail is just too saturated right now to get a hit. You will have to open a case to get a numbered card nowadays. It’s Hobby only for me right now

[@skybcards]

Totally agree, definitely not worth going hog-wild over like the old days

[@michaelmercado6680]

I agree. Retail prices going up while hobby going down.

[@SportsMonkYT]

That morning upload

[@skybcards]

Yessirrrr🙏🙏

[@YTMarcopolo]

Got a question for you sky. What do you do with all the base cards?? I have a ton and I truly don't know what to do. And I feel bad throwing them away lol

[@dylgarrett]

First step is complete sets of you're into that and then give them away. Donating is nice but not always wanted, and you could give them away at games or Halloween next year!

[@YTMarcopolo]

@@dylgarrett forsure. Thanks bud 👍

[@michiganst55]

I bought one of these yesterday with a similar result. It’s ridiculous all the things you need to compete against: -Retail blue vs chrome border -Watered down B rate players dominating the collation -95% concourse/premier -Gook/centering issues with cards -virtually no numbered cards -$35 a box (at wal-mart) -Printed beyond belief It’s a shame because I like Select but the amount of hoops you have to climb and money you have to spend to even hit something decent is outrageous.

[@skybcards]

Yeah man pretty disappointing I agree…

[@everythingcollectibles]

Exactly! That’s why I don’t buy blasters at Wal-Mart! Im probably going to wait until Target gets them in store to buy one.

[@red0332]

Exactly 2yrs ago you pulled a zion rc variation.. And now you got giddey orange flash and Barnes too 😊. Hope I can afford those boxes. Stay safe.

[@skybcards]

Wow that’s crazy brother, i miss chasing after Zion rookies 🔥🔥

[@deemz312]

save your money and buy singles.

[@reger7967]

I've had really bad luck with the blasters, but amazing luck with the hangers. Bought 3 hangers and pulled a Tatum Premier Tiger out of the first pack, 2nd pack wasn't crazy, but the 3rd had an Isiah Jackson Gold /10

[@centralviberecords5659]

Sick card bro rookie revoluction

[@skybcards]

[@McFlurry814]

[@skybcards]

I feel the pain brother

[@vgall7308]

Nice hits!

[@skybcards]

🙏🔥🙏🔥

[@K1.prod.]

In one blaster I pulled a jalen suggs flash prizm concourse, James bouknight green white purple prizm concourse, jaden springer silver concourse and a Johnathan kuminga blue base concourse!

[@JDubKillinKicks]

Jaden Springer is everywhere! Basketball actually terrible compared to retail Select football right now. These boxes they could print them to the moon but the football with the numbered cards is surely printed in less numbers. $15 hanger pack with color looking like only thing worth ripping for basketball right now.

[@skybcards]

Yupp, totally agree! Honestly pretty disappointing

[@tobiasmares2975]

You selling the Jokic 75 anniversary if so very interested. Thanks

[@skybcards]

Make a offer

[@lionslucksportscards9835]

Thanks for sharing this. These are pretty rough. I ordered a few from target, but I think I’ll take them back.

[@skybcards]

Of course man, and honesty don’t blame you! Haha

[@Kramer7969]

At my walmart today there was an entire case of select blaster boxes and not one was gone. The card section is condensed to about 2 feet wide now though. I think retail is dead ( like it used to be, nobody used to care about retail).

[@Aaron_2330]

At least your area is how it should be! No reason at all these should be flying off the shelves. Went to my local Walmart last night at 10pm, there had to be 35-40 boxes on the shelf and over retail price at $35 per box …. Went back at 8pm tonight not even 24 hours later and shit was cleaned out not 1 box left …. Feel bad for whoever cleaned it out thinking times are like 2020. Couldn’t believe it with my own eyes. Zero reason to buy these at retail price of $30 per let alone $35 at Walmart …. My wallet left happy tho

[@thefrugalmonk]

Ripped 7 blasters, 8 hangers, no numbered nor autos. Rough start to Select retail. Keep up the great content brother!

[@skybcards]

Yeah I’m in the same boat, very brutal haha. We’ll get them next time 🙏🤞

[@thefrugalmonk]

@@skybcards Gotta keep ripping!

[@Moskiesoskie357]

Caught a restock and had these, my first time ripping this new product. Bought two blasters. First box second pack rookie auto! Then a silver Suggs and silver Barnes club level….. not bad box at all, but second was a dud

[@skybcards]

Niceee🔥🔥 who was the auto?

[@TyronneRatcliff]

What auto did you pull?

[@ablank2648]

Man after watching this it seems like Select basketball is a skip for me this year... Maybe I'll just open a couple hangers or something on the cheaper side. 35 per blaster is pretty high considering what you get.

[@skybcards]

It’s very very expensive for the lack of pulls, i probably will review the hangers/megas and call it quits

[@drewhoselton8980]

That's what I'm saying. Reminds me too much of UFC Select. No hits at all really.

[@jasonking971]

It's always the same for prizm, optic and select. Minimum amount of cards in a minimum amount of packs....and with so many parallels and a decent sized checklist, you're way more likely to strike out then you are to get your money's worth.

[@Noahski6012]

Pulled an orange flash courtside cade from mine!

[@skybcards]

Can't complain with that!

[@joeljarvis711]

Don’t talk bad about the select die cuts 😅the blue checker boards where clean ty for the vids

[@fischerrobinson]

Lol, was that your target review I saw?😂

[@Apillow_]

Thanks for the review, rough pulls! Better luck next time. At least with Select retail there’s chase cards like Elephants and Tigers. Prizm just has no ceiling, complete waste

[@williewoodall8305]

I feel your pain Boss, with Mr. Sims. I yanked his frigging AUTO..BUT I'll take one of them CUNNINGHAMS.. They should pitch all the Primos...That's what I do! On a lighter note thanks for posting boss...I like your style Dude...within it's brevity. Best yank: Orange Flash Court Side...Jalen Suggs....

[@DadStrength81]

This stuff is so mass produced that you will be lucky pull 1 Courtside parallel and 1 numbered card per 20 box case of blasters.. You had a below average 8 boxes for sure! Great video like always though.

[@unifive10]

You should try to put the set together

[@Lopopsshop]

How do you know what’s good and what’s not I’m new to the hobby

[@skybcards]

It’s all personal preference

[@uclasuperfan]

Dang, your title attracted a lotta fellow cardhunters, lol

[@uclasuperfan]

I haven't bought any personally, but from what I've seen on the 'tube, Select hangers may be the way to go. Thnx for the break!

[@BigDirtDawg]

i like the blue boarder. I mean the silver is better but the blue is needed to differentiate from hobby imo

[@billyworks3702]

Base hobby has very little value over the blue, but this is a better approach than what Select did with football removing the Field Level completely from retail

[@skybcards]

Yeah you are right on that, at least they left us with court sides 🙏🙏

[@EraSills]

I opened wwe select blaster 6 boxes, out of those 6 blasters I pulled 2 elephants one mez, and one ringside
