*BRAND NEW!🚨 2023 SELECT FOOTBALL BLASTER BOX REVIEW!🏈

[@petesinacore3265]

Pro tip. Use a 2nd base (stacked)card to sleeve diecuts and then slide the base out of sleeve .. ✌🏼✊🏼

[@skybcards]

Appreciate the advice bro🙏🙏

[@VietNguyen-zv3hy]

This!

[@modernlegend_gaming]

Then you stretch the sleeve...

[@autograph415]

@@modernlegend_gaming and possibly damage the die cut

[@BigT42l994]

@@autograph415yeah if you’re an idiot

[@krmpacks7985]

I just cut the corner with a exacto knife and the die cuts fit in way better with zero issues!

[@Kramer7969]

I seen a ton of boxes broken, they are definitely not numbered cards in every box and a lot of the numbered cards will be 499 which is definitely not short print. I like the look of the cards especially the club level.

[@How_r-u]

When did it come out

[@ThatsHellBoy]

/499 is literally the definition of a short printed card. There are millions of the base cards/inserts and half as many of the unnumbered parallels. /499 is a whole lot less than a million plus.

[@diesel33333ful]

I hit a nasty burrow rookie zebra die cut that had terrible printing lines all across the back

[@zac_attack236]

After wathcing all of your videos I am starting to range out into other sports instead of just Basketball!! So just for a bit of advice are the chase rookies C.J. Stroud, Bryce Young and Anthony Richardson???

[@richardharden6811]

Bro the hits in these are insane

[@breakinballers]

Hey homie. Sandwich those die cut cards between 2 regular cards to start the feed into a sleeve. Then, push the die cut card down and pull out the outer cards. I was working on a plastic piece to accomplish the same thing, but since I won't be doing much Select football this year, I nixed that project.

[@skybcards]

Appreciate the advice!🙏 I'll try that next video

[@jetpack369]

When you go to sleeve a card that's hard or a die cut cut the from the corner down about 2 centimeters vertical they go in perfect

[@th3_tok3n_on3-5]

They actually sell cut corner penny sleeves that make sleeving die cuts and oddly shaped cards WAY easier. There’s a couple different brands out there.

[@xff4djb]

You have to cut the corner of the sleeve it will go in a little smoother

[@skybcards]

Yeah that's the move for sure

[@ericlinscomb688]

I think I will buy this product. 😊 And that is definitely a roller mark.

[@bluberryjay2410]

Yooo yo😅 love it! Thank you for the content bout to rip a few boxes myself

[@RainStryke]

I would suggest ultra pro easy grip sleeves. Makes it easier to sleeve that type of card and even better if you decide to grade.

[@skybcards]

Not all heroes wear capes🙏

[@briansbootpage]

Topps Chrome is 40 a blaster,so definitely possible. Awesome video...I love your content.

[@averybighoss135]

I’ve been waiting for this so long

[@crispee5265]

You are not the only one I’ve seen struggle with this concourse die cuts. Couple of people have recommended using a base card to help slide in the die cut or snip the top sides of the sleeves. Select has always been a fun product to rip but I’m not feeling this year Select. I don’t think Panini cares anymore about their product. What about those 8 cases of optic hobby that had over 20 DTs. Something definitely is going on with Panini 🤷🏽‍♂️! Great video and thanks for sharing as always!

[@michaelhutchison4963]

🎉🎉 I'm with you on the die-cuts. I don’t like the gray/ silver backgrounds. Too busy. This product has high ceiling with tie dye and zebra and what not. But good luck hittong that. Always love the review.

[@DudeYourDadCollects]

Thank you so much for doing these types of videos. The Hoops one made me sad as heck cause I can’t get any but seeing this stuff helps us consumers decide what may be worth it and what’s not. Cheers! 🎉

[@JrRips915]

Cant wait to get me some of these for my son and myself of course lol my son has been getting into the hobby thanks to you. He loves your content. Every morning after he tells me good morning he asks if we can watch Sky B's video. Thanks brotha!!

[@DRobSports_Rips]

Iv watched several of the select reviews and so far your cards are the only ones iv seen with the roller marks

[@tonypatriot8585]

Bro buy the easy glide precut sleeves for die cuts and jersey cards. Or you can make a little cut down one corner of your pack of sleeves.

[@MCamp-ll9mf]

Select has always been my favorite!! I’m a sucker for die cuts.

[@derekwebber4083]

As usual, great content B. Loved following you along your National trip. You ripping any Optic hobby anytime soon?

[@rudyestrada5286]

That’s for the video. Die cuts look hard to sleeve, but look pretty nice. Thanks

[@GrantACCchamp]

I’m very excited for this product! I’m going to try to pick it up at my local target or local card store!

[@zayValhalla]

do you know when it will come out or an estimate of when it will?

[@troykoontz]

Stack base card with the die-cut to sleeve easier. I'm sure I'm probably not the first to comment this but I don't feel like checking. Last year select was better imo.

[@garciaderek]

Sleeving die cuts is brutal. I've collected Select die-cuts for the last several years and still struggle with them.

[@skybcards]

Love to hear I'm not the only one

[@raremetalrecords8810]

Always a great vid! Any word if they will have Mega Box Select?

[@skybcards]

Yes they do have mega boxes!

[@dennism5209]

Great rip! The die cuts do seem annoying. I've seen some videos where they cut the sleeves at both sides of the opening. Just a small slit at the top. I don't have any die cuts to try it on though

[@skybcards]

Yeah that's the way to do it for sure

[@maurosudati453]

They seem a good and fun rip but quality control seems off. Sleeving die cuts aint easy lol

[@jeffstallard1796]

Congratulations on the great pulls. I really like the die cut cards. Enjoyed watching your videos.

[@robbedbycards]

Funny part is tried that and when u put it in the top loader the penny sleeve hangs over the top of the card

[@truckwheat]

Hey, i’m trying to get into football cards and i had a few questions 1. What is the difference between hobby and retail? 2. What boxes should I buy that would give me the best chance to pull some nice cards?

[@B-RanBreaks]

I can’t wait to get my hands on these. Quick tip, I’m sure there are other great pointers and sorry if someone has said this, but take scissors and cut the corner of the corner on one edge of the penny sleeve. It helps me get die-cuts and cards that just don’t slide in for some reason into my sleeves. Nice rip as always!

[@elijahveihl-x7u]

what do you do with all the base cards

[@kenduty-nj7hs]

With that scuff mark at the bottom, its almost like they need to clean or change out the rollers on their machines more often

[@scottieclark2401]

You can put a normal card behind the diecut to slide it in better.

[@avidatlantafan7802]

Ripped 2 $40 blaster myself and those concourse die cuts are a pain in the butt

[@williamknox7655]

Be glad you can rip them. I can't afford to pay secondary market prices and in my area, no one has good cards. They never make it to the shelves. Great videos anyway. Sorry for venting. Just wish I could rip some packs myself.

[@zhoneygaming2718]

The die cuts were definitely difficult to sleeve but with that being said, I didn’t mind taking 5 minutes to sleeve the J Jettas neon green die cut /499 lol

[@pamn1220]

Not really feeling the select football and all the die cuts :( i watched breaks all day yesterday of optic fotl have you seen how insanely loaded they are? Watched multiple breaks w 20+ downtown in a case

[@ALMIGHTYY_B]

Loving the content fam!🔥

[@eloos4607]

2020 select retail remains undefeated in style look of the cards. And at least we could have pulled field level in 2020

[@skybcards]

Major facts. Without field level, select is pointless...

[@terryshaffer-h4z]

Nice pulls but its just hard for me to get excited this year after all the disappointments I've had i know every box isn't going to be good but after spending the money there asking its very disappointing in what we are getting i think and there's so many now that when you pull a card and comps is say 25 then five days later its like half that idk just getting over produced i think but anyway as always great video and thanks for sharing.

[@miamibreaker3053]

Ur the man sky b!!! Love ur channel great product thanks for sharing

[@huntawakens4]

Love the look of select but its always a ruff rip lol😂

[@MrUcdat]

Where you finding these? I can't locate any...

[@Brady-yh5bv]

Love the vids bro

[@emirkulovic713]

Select Football is my favorite retail product 🔥

[@82mprosen]

You should always slit the edge of the penny sleeves before putting cards in. The corners can get damaged otherwise. Die cuts are just that much worse

[@shannonyoast6906]

As always great video 👍

[@JTrain1118]

Where’d you get these? September release I thought?

[@drewzzy07]

Stick die cuts between 2 base to get them sleeved

[@PhillyFan_RetailRips_AndMore]

Select Basketball was killer for me this year. I'll give football a chance if I see it here locally. That's a big if though.

[@Jamba-_-]

those fieldlevel die cuts are gorgeous, it seems like the base rookies are printed to the max which is a good and bad thing

[@i3etelgeuse84]

they do it before hobby now knowing it will help retail sales... they have limited time left to squeeze out as much sales as possible before they cant sell or make this stuff any longer

[@chriscanter3882]

Hey bro I open a lot of product like you do, I got to where ill take my safety cutter I use to open boxes and slice the penny sleeve on the side every time I sleeve anything fatter, Die Cut, or big hit I wanna possibly grade. It adds a second to it for picking up the blade and slicing the right corner down but well worth it and you will never have penny sleeve issues again bro! Iv noticed people that buy my cards thank me for slicing the penny sleeve too bc they said it lets them know I took extra care of the card while sleeving! Hop that helps brotha, and keep it up!!!

[@BooneSwepston-gu6sq]

Sky im going to my first card show any tips

[@skybcards]

Just have as much fun as possible bro!

[@BooneSwepston-gu6sq]

Thanks

[@SteveALea]

Awesome content as always

[@jed21]

That made my decision to stay away easy. Select is tough, it never holds its value and prices on singles go down super fast, it doesnt hold a candle to optic and prizm. 39.99 is too high, hopefully in store will be 24.99 or 29.99.

[@beliedat2457]

No 😂

[@LtNova21]

Where do you get these? eBay has very little

[@cs_caprae]

I think stroud and Clayton tune follow off each other again like they did in optic

[@maniak69881]

Where are people getting select from? I haven't seen any in stores or online.

[@skybcards]

Was like the first thing i said brother

[@ChristopherDavid-uu3qg]

Another banger video! Not sure I love the product but its something different to rip!

[@RamonTheMexican]

The base I’m stationed at never has Optic Football or these Football Select! They do have Select for soccer but who rips those?

[@Kybone]

Mexicans

[@RamonTheMexican]

@@Kybone lol! we must not have many Mexicans. Those boxes have been sitting there for months!

Appreciate it my brother🔥💪 hope you have a great day!!

[@davidtrimble2275]

Hey Sky-B my son (8) and I just open 2 select blaster boxes tonight. Hey pulled his first case hit ever. Hey pull a premier level zebra die cut. Could have been a better player he pulled Emari Demercado (RC). He also pulled a CJ Stroud premier level silver prizm die cut. He was so excited. We enjoy watching your channel.

[@Kybone]

Nice hit! You looking to sell?

[@davidtrimble2275]

​@Kybone thanks for asking but my son wants to keep them both. I appreciate th ask

[@shanegreene5149]

Amazing RIP SKY B can't wait to get some of these 🎉

[@ConnorFalcon]

im going to a card show next Saturday with almost 600 dollars what should I look for

[@bretpatterson6736]

Fun rip. Keep up with the cool 😎 videos.

[@robertcheney9759]

thanks fer the rip. not to sure about buying to many of these.the diecuts are cool.

[@jasoncuster6119]

Cool rip. Luv the product but damn, not sure if I want any because of the lines ?! I give them an 8. Would’ve been a 9 🤷‍♂️

[@ighoutdoorssports1492]

You need the sleeves that have the corners trimmed on them for those die cuts. The square sleeves will definitely ruin those cards

[@urlocalweirdo6664]

thesse aren’t stacked as well they were kinda late on making the product but still they good this vid was funny with the diecuts and i can’t believe u gave it a rating lower than contenders 2023

[@bradmccubbin1569]

You might want to sleeve the die cuts in the thick card sleeves. I am disappointed with the die cuts.

[@skybcards]

Smart move forsure, and same!! Usually I enjoy them but these are annoying 😂

[@IanGraysonJacob]

Yooo I’ve been waiting so long to c u open select Where the actual heck did u find doss😊

[@AaronX3-rg9um]

I'm going to the card market this weekend any players u think I should look for or get?

[@speedy-jay]

Will Grier

[@FrankBeingFrank]

Yeah please either sandwich the diecuts between two cards to help guide them until your past the cuts or precut the sleeves I use precut the sleeves for regular cards just at the top on the side just so the corners don’t catch and for crazy diecuts I would cut the sleeves down the side at learn half way but usually to the point where I could easily slide the card and it’s cuts into the sleeve but you have to at least leave some of the sleeve attached at the bottom to help hold the card in it but it works just like any sleeve would and my die cuts would go into the top loader in the same conditions they came out of the pack

[@DustinCrafton]

Very nice pulls bro!!! I was excited for these to come out but I'll have to agree they were pretty blah in the blaster format. Still great review video bro!!!!

[@skybcards]

Appreciate it a ton bro🔥💪 perfectly said, was definitely a "blah" review

[@PureEville1]

Those scuff marks at the bottom of the cards are prolly from the rubber rollers that pull the cards down the factory line, looks like they need to clean their rollers.

[@skybcards]

It's been going on with all the panini products lately

[@carramrod8232]

That’s the wheel from one of the machines from panini. That’s their top notch quality control. Someone had to see it. They don’t care.

[@austinkelly5059]

You got to cut both sides of the sleeve or it will get bent or catch

[@austinkelly5059]

Or one side atleast

[@chrisjarrett4547]

Good luck man!! Pull some fire🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@skybcards]

Appreciate it bro🔥💪

[@jamescromwell1793]

Those die-cuts and center roller marks will make getting PSA 10s damn near impossible. I may save my $$$

[@skybcards]

You ain't lying bro. Hopefully the mega boxes don't have the same issue

[@82mprosen]

Are they really 40 per box? Is that retail price? What retailer? I really liked select basketball, my favorite of the year. Are they really following Topps for the new crazy high process?

[@ryanfitzmaurice2926]

Panini gotta chill with these prices. Die cuts are pretty sweet tho. Underrated in my opinion

[@madgaming1193]

Bro this is gonna be so lit, appreciate what you do brother, keep it up 🫡

[@HunterMahnke]

I love these vids

[@dylangenschaw]

I wanna get my hands on these but I think ima wait til they're $30. Great vid!

[@skybcards]

Smart choice for sure, hopefully the target boxes don't have the quality issues

[@Kybone]

Yeah good luck with that

[@retrokidd420]

Love your vids Sky. Target taking forever to drop these!

[@skybcards]

Man you are not lying!

[@flippingfreddiegang8411]

Not a fan of this years select , thanks for the review 😊

[@Nowthats]

I bought one box at target. Pulled a back to back stroud die cut one was neon green ofher green/yellow. Never buying packs at retail again. 2 packs and both bent up bad. I assume people pack searching. Just a shame to spend money and get a destroyed product with no returns.

[@lawrencegonzales9407]

This should be a fun one. Good luck Sky

[@skybcards]

Appreciate it bro🔥💪

[@chubzkickz]

im super interested in the puka jersey card do you sell these?

[@cardiaccards216]

It’s the same set it’s just there’s 900 cards in the set lol you either hit or you don’t! Cards are sweet tho!😁
