BLASTERS OR HOBBY???

[@Zoarex]

Birthday in 3 days for me. Hobbby!!!!!!!

[@masont2008]

Hobby!!

[@amirpapa6078]

Both. Newbie question though, does blaster box have any chances of auto?

[@keahong84]

@@amirpapa6078 really low chance

[@michaelisdub]

hobby personally

[@calicardrips301]

To be honest, I’d rather spend 700$ on single graded cards than either a hobby box or retail blaster boxes. I think hobby won this battle only because retail was very underwhelming. Love these kind of series. More please. Thank you Ryan.

7 blasters, no doubt, more cards...one expensive hobby box is just a huge risk, autos of base players are not valuable

[@koberino4872]

11:50 lmaooo the 🐐

[@BengalBuckeye]

Dude you need to get the Elite Wax Box Football Club Box. It's twice as good as.boom box. It's $200 for 7 packs all hobby and you get a gauruntee separate hit card auto. The box right now comes with a 2019 Optic, 2X 2021 Contenders, 2019 Elite, 2021 Playoff, 2021 Prizm Draft H2, and a 2011 Panini Threads. You can also get a 2021 Elite instead of one of the two 2021 Contenders. The gauruntee auto cards I've seen have been really decent too like a minimum of $12-$15 value some more. No junk for sure. Definitely check it out. They offer a $90 version too but it's 1 hobby pack and like 5 or 6 retail packs plus 1 junk wax pack. Not worth it really except the 2020 and 2021 Mosaic packs but way risky for $90 and the retail game is going way down value wise for all products except Prizm and Mosaic of course. Nico Sportscards got a crazy 1/1 in his box.

[@evan_2911]

I would spend my money on hobby box. I think hobby won! Always in a good mood when Ryan posts a new fire vid!!🔥🔥🔥love your vids keep up the good work! :)

[@PackmanCards]

Thanks!!

[@No2Technition]

I love hobby vs blasters. I think it would be cool if they were all the same blasters and the same hobby box to see the direct value

[@angellamyers9758]

I think so too

[@angellamyers9758]

Yes sounds the same amount of money on blasters vs hobby more fair I believe

[@Hossyboy420]

Dang retail was pretty bad (what a surprise). Optic hobby on the other hand is one of the best boxes I've seen of the product I think! Also I feel like if you pay resell for all those retail blasters it could equal out to a hobby box anyways haha

[@cmorrow0231]

The only winner here .... is Panini - so many products underwhelming these past couple years - and somehow the prices continue to rise...if you can get retail, at retail pricing, I'd say that's the way to go. But on the resale market, has to be hobby.

[@trevorduncan9580]

that... is tough. That box of optic started promising... but Cj auto ... sad trombone. HOWEVER i LOVED the concept my man! Lately i've had MUCH better luck with singles lol Although I pulled a hoops case hit 70th anniversary Ja the other day ! Prolly my largest retail pull ever. BEAUTIFUL card. Thinking about grading since its in great shape and nicely centered...

[@nbadimes7804]

Always know Hobby is better - just can’t justify the price, especially in NZ Dollars 😵‍💫

[@birdhovno]

You are wrong, you overpay that stuff terribly. In a hobby box you get all the same base useless cards and one autograph. Usually its auto of some noname player, value around 10 bucks. So eventually you will lose a lot of money. Its a huge risk.

[@nbadimes7804]

@@birdhovno it’s subjective mate, so no I’m not wrong. Cheers

[@machotsingcards5131]

hobby won this round.. lots of rookie holos. Sometimes it depends on the product and my budget.. usually go for hobby. Congrats on the hits!

[@kglewis1071]

blasters Im too poor for Hobby!! Plus I love ripping packs loll

[@brendanmoore2143]

I like opening? So retail is fun even though it’s a real tough go. And I also like building sets of some better product. That’s where I get one or two hobby boxes and then just randomly get retail when I see it out. Select is a good example…

[@theslickrips5904]

Isn’t select a bad example since it’s different colors for hobby and retail or do you still combine them?

[@josephshackelford6166]

Hobby boxes are probably my favorite of the two.... It's all a gamble though if you're doing it for money.... I just love the excitement of opening packs.... You are the man as always and love the content

[@michaelphillips6991]

Hobby won! But Hobby is too expensive! It’s all too expensive to me. If not breaking or you tubing, hard to justify $1,000 to $2000 a box

[@rubenavila2274]

Blasters are more a chase and better than hobby boxes.

[@greedgaming7238]

Ohhh lala. I just got my fix. Packman vid, iz lit! You know, you know!!!

[@marzpackcracks]

hey mate, just bought my first pack in almost 30 years. Been binge watching your channel. Love your work. As a newbie I'd go retail as it about the fun of cracking packs.

[@marzpackcracks]

that said hobby won the battle

[@PackmanCards]

Thanks! GL with your rips!

[@miggles7197]

I just have to get blasters and small hobby under 80 ish I would prefer hobby though watching you makes me fell like I got these hobby’s great vid

[@miggles7197]

I wish it was wiseman

[@kennydunbar7684]

I think Hobby won this one even though neither was mindblowing. I usually prefer Hobby over Retail just because of the guarantees and ceiling but because of the cost I haven't bought much of anything.

[@JoshamungasRex]

You might want to consider using BCW modular trays to help with the issue of the cards sliding over when they’re stacked up too high. I use them in my shop and they’re great!

[@koletonnoblin4444]

You should do like 1 chronicles 2019-2020 hobby box or like 5 chronicles vs 1 hobby box

[@Jannik8000]

as a collector i would still prefer the 4 Retail boxes!

Awesome my friend yeah boy awesome

[@charlesmay1570]

Why da heck did u not open any optic blasters? It's hard to compare when all the products are different.

Hey Packman keep up your 🔥🔥🔥🔥vids and 🔥🔥🔥 cards lol keep it up

[@DusheyPhotagraphy]

POV: Packman: NOT A FRIEND OF MINE. PRIZM DOESN’T LIKE ME Prizm: WE DON’T LIKE ANYBODY

[@michaelphillips6991]

Wiseman and Haliburton may be the best in that class. Lamelo showed out one season. Edwards had a good rookie year too.

[@DNorbs7]

I don't think that hobby box was worth anywhere near the price of admission. That being said, I'd still take that blue Quickley Parallel over the entire stack of retail 💩. :)

[@randykellerhuis9115]

I really think if you're going to compare hobby to retail you should have used all the same product. How can you really compare if it's different? Just a thought for next time.

[@angellamyers9758]

I agree

[@Day61908]

Pack man!! Go to more card shows G!! We love them!

[@michaelzornes4179]

Nice openings you have much better luck than I do. You looking to part with that blue Quickley optic if so let me know. Thanks and good luck

[@Js-mm1jdjwc]

Where can you get court kings blasters from?

[@adamlitwin8863]

I agree retail's floor and ceiling are rough and especially it seems, blasters. It seems like blasters are the worst retail format, at least by Panini. I usually get retail because it is cheaper on a per box rate, and I'm usually not wanting to spend too much at any given time, but over time, I really should have just saved up for hobby and passed on the retail.

[@pickleduck5679]

If you want something that packs a hit for retail get hangers they always have better luck then blasters for me

[@adamlitwin8863]

@@pickleduck5679 Thanks! That's interesting. I'll have to try more hangers. I have tried some, and they seem a bit hit or miss just like blasters, but I have not tried a ton of them. Cellos have been pretty good for retail in my experience, but I also think for each of the formats, it depends on the set.

[@joshuawarren2618]

Mexican pizza comes back and a packman upload. Life’s good

[@EdAnde]

Yeaaaa it’s the optic hobby for me 😂 honestly I feel better just comparing court kings and chronicles vs the optic hobby box lol

[@jonsboxbreaks]

Hobby should always have the biggest card but as we've seen recently, sometimes retail has the huge hits. Like the Franco 1/1 pulled in retail.

[@akivasdrivewayrepair7349]

What would be really cool to see is you chase a Johny manzel auto

[@johnw2254]

Generally hobby is the way to go, better autos & inserts, but the odd product like Select or Mosaic is definitely worth getting an amount of retail because of the variety which can be found.

[@colinmccabe2632]

What is your biggest pull ever from prizm any year?

[@qtjimmy]

i pulled a ja morant young dolph rc in a hobby so id go with hobby

[@jeffstenstrom197]

About 50.00 in resale value in 600 hobby box lol. Retail maybe 40 . But if both were current boxes the blasters would be 25-35 , so a comparison should be 20 ish blasters VS hobby box. Be cool to see 2021 prizm draft bkb hobby box vs 10 megas, 10 blasters and 10 jumbo packs. (or whatever ratio would be for same $$) I'm guessing retail wins doing the same amount and same product. I've opened soo much retail flux, prizm and optic it's hard to justify the rediculous prices on hobby , hobby prices are 4-8x what they should be but retail is kinda same as always 20-35 blaster, 45-60 mega. Alot of megas have guarantee hits too like playbook football, 50 per mega and 500+ hobby. So 10 megas I'm getting ten auto/jsy vs 1 in hobby. Granted less ceiling in retail but I've pulled several good rc autos and few booklet rcs in retail.

[@ChillpillGamingNZ]

Love the pack battle vids. So good to get an idea based on similar value

[@TheJiGenius]

Whey better players in the blaster boxes. But the Hobby wins💯

[@trianglecardcollectors6318]

would love to see this as a regular series!

[@lousolano8805]

Definitely retail. I have pulled a 1/1 and a 24/25 autograph card from a 25 retail box

[@BroBroBro-dz8uo]

Love these box battle videos❤️

[@Bangpaulxu]

Great video man, honestly with Hobby it is better most of the time. Prizm blasters make me sad as I got a bunch of Grant Riller rookies, so yeah if he becomes famous I am golden. I have opened up like ten Prizm blasters, forty fat packs and it was all underwhelming.

[@nblion5]

Don't think that's 600 worth of retail. More like 450

[@domcraftable]

Hobby killed retail but overall it just depends what your budget it on which one you’d rather buy

[@connoradams8637]

depends on the product because prizm mega boxes and other retail products can be really solid

[@ceottolino]

Retail for Value if not bought through resellers, at resale price its almost better to go Hobby for the hits. So retail may have won for quantity but Hobby for Quality

[@gavrieee1188]

I think hobby won because retail was underwhelming this time

[@BigJBasketball]

Retail didn’t do too badly, got a few nice numbered cards and decent rookies, but I think Optic hobby took the W in this battle!

[@jonathandavid9389]

blasters for the win

[@iliyanmoloo4609]

How much does the optic box cost and where can I get one?

[@xiongchingla]

Always wondered about this. For example, So like a contenders hobby box for $700 or $700 worth of Contenders Mega boxes or $700 worth of Contenders Blaster boxes.

[@armyatc22]

I’d say if you do this again it needs to be the same product in retail as hobby to show the difference

[@Sighhhh]

Great vid Pack. Curious if u could offer me some advice. I really wanna get back into the hobby. Regarding football cards, what's a good product in a modest price range for starting. Not looking to start a business or anything but do you have a favorite set with a cheaper price that still has a chance at getting some unique cards. Thanks for any help you can offer and love your content!

[@jeffstenstrom197]

Same amount in blasters? Aren't they 25-40 per blaster? X 7 would be 280 ...oh some are older nevermind. Still be nice to see current year brand like prizm football mega , blasters VS hobby. Price is 1,300 for hobby. Blasters are 30.00 . I think it's hard to spend 1,300 on hobby when I could get almost 45 blasters for same price.

[@jordandillon7114]

I’d rather get nothing but base out of a $25 blaster than spend 20 times as much and get a benchwarmer’s auto out of a hobby box. With the price Panini charges for a hobby box, you’d have to hit one of the better cards out of the set to even have a prayer of breaking even. At least with a blaster I don’t sweat not getting back any value and can just enjoy opening packs.

[@jordandillon7114]

Also, just my 2 cents, I fear Panini holds back the “good cards” for hobby boxes often which to me is not right. Retail odds can be drastically worse but at least throw some better stuff in there. That is why Topps retail is so much better than Panini
