Hi love your videos

[@benhartart9487]

Neither atm 😂

[@PullSumHeat]

I prefer hobby. Fun extra stuff to pull.

[@dachosenone9352]

I tend to lean hobby but if I’m out and see some blasters I’ll pick them up just for a quick opening

[@NastyCards_Lawks]

My Hobby Box ONLY HITS (Luka presentation, Paolo Auto and James Harden /99) nothing else 😢 so depressing but Atleast my hits were something I actually wanted based on the horrible selections

[@christophervalentin1486]

I was planning to buy hoops, but my hobby shop had them for $225. I saw a hoops box from last year for $130 and brought it. I pulled a rookie ink auto of paolo banchero. I’m happy with that

[@bfootballcards]

That’s Ok I guess 😂

[@flawlesssportscardsandcomics]

And the winner is ….. buying singles of the players you want

[@armyvet8476]

It’s not as fun as ripping packs

[@randypeterson5917]

😂😂😂😂

[@Xxpesky_]

You sound like someone whos never ripped a 1/1 Wemby. Yeah me either

[@hiphopnewsdaily9016]

@@Xxpesky_i have haha what should i set the market at

[@Slamson808]

It’s all about the journey not the destination /s

[@Tkek9]

This is insanely helpful for someone just getting into the hobby. Appreciate the content!

[@buffalorockcards]

My daughter and her boyfriend bought me two retail packs of Hoops for Christmas. I was expecting nothing and got exactly that in the first pack. On the second pack, I was shocked when I saw the Wemby card, knowing that there would be another one right behind it! Love how the Wembys follow a pattern and make it so nice you get it twice!

[@3dmeneses851]

had no such luck, only pulled a base wemby and thats it.

[@fnf.collects]

Those were brutal😂thanks for taking one for the team and entertaining us 🔥

[@mc386106]

I feel like Hoops will be a great thing to rip in 2-3 months. Once everyone is on to the higher end products, Hoops will be cheap enough to be a fun rip with some upside.

[@josephmck12]

Packman needs to hit 1 million subs by march

[@zachi1768]

I love watching this kind of video, shows full spectrum for all levels of collectors.

[@fezyk6609]

In the Hobby vs Retail debate, I've been going with Option C, saving my card budget for Packman's Whatnot Auctions. Looking forward to the next one.

[@AlexHoyt-w9e]

Wish hobby was more affordable!

[@kicksandcollectables]

i'm a very low level collector right now, but I've had the worst luck last year with retail anything. The second I gave it up and started saving more towards hobby and fast break, my luck went way up. I have my 3rd box of Hoops hobby on the way as we speak, hoping for some Wemby inserts or parallels 😭

[@Mbalck1]

My brother told me about you, and i love the way you do this. Not like Any others. - smooth talking, good knowledge, great quality 😊💪🏻

[@motumaximus]

As a retail collector, I love these videos. Thank you as always!

[@LukeHarris-g4x]

That Brandon Miller is tough

[@StephanoJayP]

1 Wemby from that mix is crazy

[@aaronallen405]

That hobby box would be a great belated Christmas gift. Just got back into collecting again since I found my old cards cleaning out my mom’s house after she passed away.

[@armyvet8476]

Always a great day for a Packman video! Can’t wait to see what you get. I hope it’s a banger

[@PackmanCards]

I hope the captain likes it!

[@joemarsh2050]

Im picking retail hoops before i watch the video

[@ausy143iscool]

I was waiting for this love it

[@jonathanthompson1790]

Thanks for all the content!! You’re def helping the card wave more foward with the information and entertainment you’re giving keep it up man!

[@samscarrow5790]

found your page about a month ago and I've been tuning into every video since! can't get enough and always looking forward to what's next

[@MillitasterNP]

Just got into collecting and wish i had seen your videos first. Appreciate the content!

[@vortexgotspeed7512]

Hobby because there is a juristically bigger ceiling

[@t_fitzo9726]

Thanks for the content you make. I’m new to card collecting and your videos help out a lot 🙏

[@landons1971]

been a fan of yours for a while now man love the growth you’ve seen

[@rayniellerivera5261]

Your shows are just fun to watch ! Thank you bro keep makin them vids!

[@E_Chan90]

The Mrs. always pick the hotboxes! My wife bought two mega boxes of mosaic football for me and hit a Razzle Dazzle in one and Stained Glass in the other! Both even came back as PSA 10s!

[@basher3804]

I may have been seeing something else but it looked like one of the base from the blaster box at around the 14:46 minute mark was an auto.

[@merte048]

Love these comparisons, thanks for the help!

[@okxxt]

loving the vids.. just go back into cards and i’m addicted again!! keep up the good work

[@mystictyph00n]

I don't think I could ever get tired of watching this clip. ❤️

[@zacharywalters8139]

An NBA Hoops unaffiliated Zion jersey card was "Big" 😂 That's crazy to think about now

[@BennyWhiteside]

I do have to say the sweater cards are better looking this year.

[@elifreund8960]

Love watching the retail vs hobby.

[@Onejayg]

loves these need more

[@tommyhaynes5017]

Packman, you’re actually killing me and my OCD every video with those chaotic stacks😩😂

[@sththegoat]

i open 2022-23 hoops and i used center stage and it said i have 70 bucks but i bought it for 33 bucks

[@mikepatch24]

Love the retail vs hobby vids pac! I honestly love hoops. Bought 1 winter 2 normal blasters and pulled Wemby sweater, an auto, and a red /75 😂 so I got pretty lucky

[@TheoKimYCW]

New year, more 🔥

[@Tac0maAr0ma]

Love the comparison vids, more retail products please!

[@grantwalker849]

Love seeing the retail vs hobby videos!

[@calicardrips301]

Retail with the easy win. That blue wemby is money. Got your money back with that one card. Congrats Ryan. Thank you as always.

[@Cardcitysports]

Those holiday blasters were pretty fire! Lets get some givi luck this time for that prizm box! lets goo :)

[@TheDinsoo]

Fun rip. I like those winter retail blasters, might have to give it a try. Hobby is nice because you get the auto and the presentations card, but that blue wemby was a nice pull

[@BlaneKampman]

Always love to see the underdog win. Looking that hobby box. Your videos always hit.

[@kevinscott1940]

The return of retail vs hobby!

[@PackmanCards]

It’s back!!!

[@colinsanbrook889]

Hi packman! I love your relatability vs hobby videos you are definitely my favourite KZbinr because you spend so much money to inform us of the new boxes coming out. I’m a big fan of collecting cards and a free box of nfl prizms sounds bloody awesome. Keep up the fantastic work and happy new year 🎉

[@Auston1033]

Love the retail vs hobby boxes vids!

[@Buckets_solos]

I love the 2023 basketball pack openings. Keep up the good work man. 1 mil in 2024👌

[@PackmanCards]

Thanks a lot! ❤🤞🏼

[@Buckets_solos]

​@@PackmanCardsyou deserve it bro. One of the most hardworking card channels out there

[@Sportskid1531]

You know it’s a good day when Packman posts😊

[@LionsChamps2025]

Enjoy watching you packman. First breaker I ever started watching and still my favorite!

[@cookiemonsternumnum]

you got me into cards! i love watching your videos as they have given me insight on what i should watch out for or maybe what i should go buy! love the videos and keep it up!

[@vahanhovannisian9255]

Simply the best content creator around, thanks for your commitment!

[@ssirvengu]

Good luck everyone and love these videos to see where the value is at especially when ur not trying to drop a grand on a box cough cough prizm

[@charleslangdon]

As a mainly retail buyer, I like these comparisons. Great vid! I can say from experience that its better to go for hobby over retail if you are going to spend serious money. I know exactly how it hurts to buy 8 donruss optic football blasters and not hit anything at all...

[@zacharyswarts4200]

I've had really good luck with Wemby rookies in the retail blasters . The sweater is kinda cool.

[@Mikel2Hi]

huge fan been watching u for quite a bit. U got me back in the hobby!

[@gushie22]

I love these types of videos! thank you packman!

[@huxbux]

Unintended consequences...if your heating unit takes a dump, you have plenty of fuel to keep the fireplace going. Thanks for the comparison!

[@billyfeltz2622]

I like the mix. As a budget collector, it helps me determine which product to spend my money on. Much appreciated 👍

[@r_eaglebk]

Honestly I think it’s the blaster since you get more pack which is the main fun thing

[@danhackney]

Hoops is so underrated!

[@rexwettengel1355]

Thanks pack man! Bought a hoops blaster because of this and pulled a wemby rookie! Couldn’t have done it without you hahaha

[@stnicksportscards]

I like the holiday hoops because the parallels and the sweaters are simple but cool

[@Bluedevilvallejo]

I like the hobby vs retail videos

[@bigboy9706]

Nice rip I like the holiday Blaster because they have a hit in each Blaster

[@MikeMan001]

That wemby was crazyyyyyy

[@bsbsbdbdb3350]

ive ripped 5 hobbies, around 30 blasters, and 16 fat packs, if youre chasing wemby, buy retail, you wont get the cool inserts that hobby has but often times if you pull a wemby base they put a hoops tribute wemby right behind it, blasters also have 3-4 rookies every pack compared to hobbys 2-3, if youre looking for autographs and all around dope cards, hobby is the way to go, i pulled a numbered joakim noah auto, a few rookie autos, a 1/25 (jersey match) amen thompson city edition, a bunch of other cool stuff, ive got 2 more hobbys to rip and 5 asia boxes, first time ive seriously gotten into ripping packs and tbh i love this year's hoops

[@letmediecast]

Retail vs Hobby Returns! Love this vs that. Honestly, kind of enjoy not knowing when it comes back.

[@Jorden_2525]

Awesome video again Packman! Glad that Honeyman is sending a better auto, you cut him deep!

[@kennethpcc]

those holiday sweaters are pretty cool. but got to risk it for the biscuit for that hoops art sig go hobby

[@jeremymontgomery8821]

Love the Retail vs. Hobby!

[@LoganSharland]

Love the vids!

[@PackmanCards]

Thanks!

[@pengu4932]

That one you didn't touch 😂 4 colors man. Dark stripe through the middle too

[@hiphophippie4159]

I pulled a red wemby to 75 out of a target blaster.

[@PackmanCards]

🤯🔥

[@Pokeopener99]

This is one of the products that I haven’t opened yet. I want to open this product one day retail or hobby

[@victornguyen3802]

Hoops is a box I get at the retailers when I just wanna open some. But agreed hoops inserts a few years ago were crazy

[@okxxt]

wemby was niceeeeee! love the vids

[@bobbylight5165]

I like retail more honestly lol

[@Zara.1.1.]

Great video! I opened 1 normal hoops blaster and got 3 wembys! The back to back ones and then a arriving now one!

[@blakgotti]

I went Wemby hunting last week bought two retail hoops one was winter and pulled Wemby sweater, base rookie, and tribute

[@TySimily]

What’s up packman! Love the video’s! Hoping you’re blessed with the biggest hit you’ve ever had this year!

[@DoseOfMaurice]

Started my year off buying a Select 21-22 Basketball Blaster ,A Value Pack Nba Hoops 22-23 , And A 21-22 Nba Hoops DG pack finally pulled Double Rook Victor , Slam Jayson Tatum , orange rook cade , rookie signature Keyontae 🔥

[@mickeyw6088]

I bought a few boxes of retail hoops and pulled 5 Wemby’s. One box had 3 including the blue Wemby from the video. I thought I should try playing the lottery next! I’ve only purchased retail hoops so I can’t speak on honby personally, but retail was a lot of fun.

[@cardsunlimited]

I recenty got into this hobby and also started uploading my box breaks to my channel as i am inspired bcoz of your awesome vids. i could say i personally prefer ripping or box breaking as the experience and excitement is different. anyways keep making great comparison vids. hope you could give me few box as givvy 😅

[@MikeMan001]

I am so exited for this!!!!!!

[@madisonprince4995]

loveee the inserts in the holiday blaster omg

[@hollywood_homer5424]

I kinda liked what both had to offer 🤔 the sweaters look really cool too

[@BigBabbaB-ng6hm]

Really nice channel, feels almost as opening the packs by myself, without the costs 😉 keep going and have a blessed 2024!

[@Lagoat11]

I LOVE HOOPS SWEATSHIRTS THEY ARE THE BEST

[@PackmanCards]

They’re tons of fun!

[@VTKoozies]

just started my journey, bought a prizm box at wally world and pulled a purple wave Gronk and green CJ Stroud in the same box. Small potatoes but Now im hooked. Thanks Packman

[@adamshepherd-tp6jl]

Thanks for another great video your advice has been great during my comeback to card collecting and definitely love opening packs but prefer hobby most of the time more chance of betyer cards but blasters can be fun to rip as well

[@johnniemi2194]

Holiday blasters went CRAZY

[@stumpyscards]

I brought 5 hoops blasters and pulled 4 Wembys and virtually every rookie under the sun. Low floor but definitely good value for money

[@telmore117]

Keep the great content coming. My son absolutely loves opening packs.

[@kingdeuce7873]

Hobby boxes do have an upside but it also comes at an extreme cost. Like $800 for prizm football hobby box! So I personally pull a lot of retail. Going in-store and competing/chasing for the product also has a fun side in my opinion. Best card I pulled was a flux shadeon sharpe rookie auto to 10 from a target mega box.

[@jasonhathaway763]

I just got a 2023 prizm football mega box what are your thoughts on this product?

[@MankysCardsandGames]

Hey Packman, I love your videos! I would love to see a comparison between 1 Prizm football hobby box vs blasters. That would be interesting!

[@sethward7020]

I’ve bought hoops fat packs and they were pretty good. Some Wemby pulls and the teal parallels were cool.
