RISKING IT ALL! 🤯 | Opening a $9000+ Box of 2021 Panini Flawless NFL Football Cards

[@esotericnightmares]

i love it how you have to hit 'big' to only lose 60% of your investment. products like this, whilst amazing quality is HUGELY out of alignment with return on investment. not saying they need to guarantee ROI value, but 9k for that, wow. and it could have easily been worse without the Lance. It's fun to see it ripped - but honestly, it's a horrible use of $ when 99% of the time you can buy all the cards aftermarket and keep 5-6k

Well, they lost their ASSES on licensing, so come 2026 there won’t be shit for panini whatsoever unless you like soccer, UFC, or the WWE.

$9000 for a couple of signed cards? Who is going to pay $'s for patches that aren't game worn? The jig is up with non game worn patches - I see more and more people turning the cards over at shows and simply walking away when its not game worn (as they should). Those cards are soon to simply be nice autographed cards - worth basically whatever the value of a guy's autograph is. Better off taking a weekend trip to Vegas and at least enjoying yourself for a weekend.

[@Novastar6]

This QB class is also very weak and those cards are extremely overpriced. Zack Wilson, Lance, Fields....haven't done jack yet. Would be dumping those cards immediately.

@@raidersacdc4892 And that's the thing.... playing against house odds. Best to sell immediately especially with the market today. There's a chance some of these QB's will have solid careers but nobody really stood out last year enough to take that risk besides maybe Jones.

[@LJA46]

Two of my best pulls were in the 90's when we stopped at a K-Mart and I bought some .50 cent packs. I pulled a Marino jersey and a Barry Sanders auto. This was at a time when those cards were hard to pull. Heck, a rookie card was hard to pull. This is too insane for me.

[@esmart31]

Now you have to hope these grade well. Also, hope the players play well and continue and upward trend. Panini is making suckers out of everyone.

[@____Silver___]

Baffles me people pay 9k for the opportunity to pull 4k worth of product. Awesome video but I just don't understand pricing on products nowadays

[@paulharkabus4148]

Pricing is easily understood. They basically take what they think is the value of the 20th best card or so snd charge that per box lol. That way 95% of people are losing huge snd only 5% of people are actually making money. Then they send those really loaded boxes to the channels who break live to the biggest audiences that they've worked out deals with so people watch them and think they can pull that good stuff too

[@____Silver___]

@@paulharkabus4148 that's only a percentage of the pricing issue. They've gone up tenfold since this hobby exploded during the pandemic. Retail is up 20%+ per box as hit rates have gone down. Panini is diluting their own product and serving garbage left and right. So again I say; it baffles me that people pay $9k for a box with near certainty of pulling garbage and if you do it's a sticker auto with a patch that has no association to the player whose card it is.

[@brentwalker5726]

This was fun to watch. Love to live vicariously through people with WAY more money to spend on cards than I do. The sad thing is this was a pretty good box, (2 rookie QBs, a Moore RPA & a sweet Micah Parsons) but if you sold all the cards it wouldn't even bring back half of the 9K.

[@roccorainn]

Honestly I think the Micah is definitely a lot more
