Today we are reviewing 6 2023 Panini Select Football Blaster Boxes from Target. BUT these have increased in price from $30 to $35. Are they still worth the rip or can we leave this one on the shelf?

I appreciate folks like AP ripping wax so I can buy singles

[@paydayjay]

@@chasinwhitetail9426 overpriced!!!

[@KevinMcClelland81]

💯

[@carramrod8232]

Who else has given up on trying to even find retail cards? Everywhere I go in Dallas/Fort Worth the shelves are bare or have some crap product on it.

[@holdentuma1399]

I swear it's the same for me but then I see some people's stores loaded with Optic, Select, etc

[@ChuckNorris69-420]

I talked to a vendor up north in Michigan and she's not even getting any of the new releases of football product. 😒

[@the_traveling_texan]

Same, in the metroplex as well and it’s impossible to find anything

[@jonathannichols196]

Same in Metro Atlanta! I’ve given up on it

[@Talin54]

Yup

[@lionslucksportscards9835]

Holy Puka! These are fun, but I’m with you on the die cuts. Select retail is about 5th or 6th for me. I don’t understand how these are selling out so quick at $35. You definitely did well here, and awesome rip as always though!

[@LitLizardCards]

Walmarts in MA have been selling blaster boxes of NBA select and optic at $35. Just noticed Mosaic at Target also going for $35. $35 is unfortunately now the norm

[@briannovak7651]

I worked at target for a short period of time. It’s usually unloading the truck, or the trucks ride that smashes a lot tbh. lol

[@broncosbreaks]

I am bowing out. The retail market pushed me out like the hobby market did. There’s just no room for pure collectors anymore

[@modernlegend_gaming]

Right!!

[@JohnQ-Public-n8o]

Yep, that's exactly how i's gonna go moving forward. Most people are going to dip out and there will only be resellers and breakers left and they'll have no customers to sell to except between themselves but the problem there is that there won't be any profit to be had between them so it'll eventually cause them all to go out of business. And those who quit real jobs to break or start youtube channels etc. will be left in the dust... possibly losing their houses, family etc. All because of greed. Retail is bad enough at the prices they're getting to and if people think the average collector is gonna buy several boxes of hobby boxes each month they're out of the their minds. Hardly ANYONE has that type of disposable income, especially in today's economy and with Bidenomics in full effect. Our only hope is that Fanatics gets it right and brings things back to an even keel.

[@shannonjensen9754]

The priceless comp cracked me up 😆 thanks for the video 👍🏻

[@RetailRipper]

i agree on the higher floor. nice start to your unexpected new puka pc from that rip lol.

[@ScaryTerryCards]

You have cornered the market on PUKA! Congrats!

[@jles]

"priceless" 😂 That's how I feel whenever I pull a Sean Clifford 😍

[@AcmePacks]

🤣🤣🤣

[@kurth7581]

I had some huge hits, and I got 3 blasters at wallmart

[@wyeung24]

Looks like your cards arrived as they should from Target: crushed and bent. My favorite experience was when I received 3 blasters from Target shipped in a used Panini case box with no stuffing to protect the blasters.

[@thurston4hits]

Puka has been tougher to pull this year, but it looks like you made up some ground! Thanks for sharing!

[@Cwheeler4545cw]

NICE review!! Thanks Acme 🙏

[@ryanblaze932]

I'm happy with the price increase. I have a better chance of getting at least one box from the scalpers every time I go to Target and they're restocking.

[@QuickNFLRips]

I've ripped about 80 boxes so far hit 3 zebras. The cost of boxes is insane. And the value of singles is going down, so it's starting to not make a ton of sense (not that it ever did, haha). In some cases, the case hit is worth less than the case (many cases). Making the chase less appealing for people like me. Wonder when it'll hit a breaking point. Wild. Nice video. I hit the like button.

[@trentbateman]

If we have any sort of recession, these cards will all sit on shelves indefinitely. It’s been nothing but expanded credit and government spending the past 4 years

[@thekernal0318]

The Puka whisperer! Decent hits thanks Andy. Can you hit Snakeskin in retail? I can’t remember

[@jcbuckeye]

Worth it he says lol. They wasn't "worth" it when they was 19 bucks 5,6 years ago.

[@AcmePacks]

🤷‍♂️

[@KevinMcClelland81]

These packs are jacked.

[@Jagermanjenson]

Value packs might be a better choice, financially speaking, for retail. $1(ish) per card and you still get the die-cuts and parrallels etc. Im sure hitting #'d or case hits is really tough but so is any retail format. I opened 9 value packs and had a similar result as your 6 boxes minus the #d cards.

[@AcmePacks]

Thats what ive heard from a bunch of people

[@GabeTheCollector]

Banged up boxes aren’t carrying bangers anymore. That is left in the past with $25 blasters

[@clauspage]

Not bad really thanks for the rip

[@stanleyfishburne2990]

Those blaster boxes was pretty decent I like the die-cuts even though it's a lot work to top load but it did look like fun to rip Great video Andy!😅

[@Talin54]

Like what value packs?

[@shannonyoast6906]

As always great video 👍

[@robertwilson2007]

What are the best sleeves and top loaders to buy? But not crazy money though. I got some descent hits on two retail boxes at Walmart of the 2024 Topps Chrome U.S. Olympics and I want to keep them looking good.

[@AcmePacks]

Ultra pro is a go to for a lot of collectors

[@joshl2188]

17:37 he is the only D3 QB to ever start in the NFL, I think he deserves a rookie card!😮 probably not a 3rd year card but definitely a rookie

Very true

[@RobbingRips]

Puka mania! Nice rip!

[@dackron]

Whats the best football/basketball box for under $300

[@AcmePacks]

Its hard to find any hobby under 300 but for retail prizm select and optic

[@hotjoe817]

Do you know how we can lower the prices, stop buying them or not as much!!!

[@AcmePacks]

But then i cant rip!

[@hotjoe817]

@@AcmePacks I know. I would just buy less, for example, instead of 6, you buy 3. Etc

Which sleeves do you use ? Cause these are not the classic UP standard ones

I use cardshellz

@@AcmePacks thanks

[@rogermoore9115]

Was curious if you put your cards on a website if so which one and under what name I was looking to see what you were selling

[@AcmePacks]

I sell on ebay under acmepacksllc

[@SmartCard67]

Panini smart!!! Increase the price from 30 to 35$ . The blaster boxes still sold out !!!! Customers who are ripping retails boxes always addicted to this kind of gambling. If I was panini I would increase from 35-40 next year , people ripping details are insane- they addicted to gambling .

[@robmiller5841]

Think there called field level?

[@AcmePacks]

Not in retail. No field level in retail only in hobby

Anyone know the top loader size for mem cards? I heard 100 pt but I just want clarification

[@AcmePacks]

@@xngscout5357 100-130 pt

[@mikeshuey]

I love to rip packs, but it's getting to the point that I'll watch other people do it. Just hard to justify the cost.

Your awesome bro

Where do I sell cards I got a btyce young 15/15 mosaic

Singles are the way to go to make sure you get your moneys worth

[@pezscards3859]

Pretty soon all blasters will be $50.....Topps Chrome is $45 in store.....horrible!!

[@Apillow_]

Forget the price, why are we getting a premium set for 2023 season, 3 weeks away from the start of the 2024 season 😂😅

[@AcmePacks]

Panini is still so far behind lol

[@thebreakinggillboys]

This is their model until They lose the license….let people go crazy and gouge on retail

[@AtkinsAtelier]

Price gouging, call it what it is, and its easy to get away with it when the secondary market covers the extra costs.

[@JohnQ-Public-n8o]

How are you getting yours from Target when the bots are literally swiping them within milliseconds of their drop? There's no way you were able to check out... at least without some sort of trick you know of.

[@AcmePacks]

I follow a person on twitter that sends out notifications when boxes go live and i just happened to be awake feeding my twins when these went live. Got lucky with this one considering i got zero optic from target this year

[@JohnQ-Public-n8o]

@@AcmePacks yeah but you got 6 boxes.... Target only lets you checkout 3 at a time with their limit. There's absolutely no way you were able to check out not just once with a full cart of 3 boxes but TWICE at checkout when it's literally almost completely impossible to get the first order of 3 in.... I'm not buying your story dude.

[@Buckhunter10]

You haven’t pulled a zebra because @skybcards pulled them all😂

Am I tripping or did you open 3 straight packs with 3 cards in it, 3rd blaster?
