"UNLICENSED TRASH" THEY SAID... | 2023 Topps Composite Football Megabox & Blaster Review

[@soopacee]

RGL is one of the very few influencers who cannot be influenced.....that's why you need to love him.

[@joshuafigueroa7276]

wish they made topps chrome basketball cards look this good.

[@JamesNpersonal]

Instead of looking like the uniforms for a D league rec league game lol😅

[@DanRoerickphotographer]

I ripped 4 blasters last week, and managed to get super lucky and in pack #2 of the first blaster I hit a Stroud Auto /175

[@jamescox1538]

As a fan of your content I don't see any problem with your reaction to the comment section on the last video, it was toxic and you called it out and gave your opinion...You are a real breaker who loves the hobby for the hobby, keep on doing what you do and ignore the haters

[@seankately4411]

Ya. Keep doing you. F the hate. If you don't got 40 or 50 haters you better get some more before summer hits

[@brandorips8261]

What?!?!?! Is not a real breaker! He is fair and honest, but most of all entertaining. No other breaker is in his stratosphere!!

[@wheeler2816]

100%

[@Earl_Poole]

RGL, you're one of the voices the hobby needs, even if they don't realize it.

[@matthewcarson340]

Dude you’re the best. People on the internet are just negative for the sake of being negative. Keep doing what you do.

[@Cablev94]

People saying they don't like non-licensed cards isn't being " just negative for the sake of being negative", the cards do look weird with no logos and some people don't like that. IMO the cards look bad, even if they had the logos and where licensed.

[@milo073]

I don’t mind unlicensed, but I just feel like you should get more out of a box with numbered cards and autos if it’s unlicensed

[@keithstueven]

I picked up a retail box from walmart for $25 and it's been my favorite budget rip. I should have bought the last few because they were gone when I went back the next day. The 90's kid in me loved pulling Bo Jacksons and Joe Montanas. The entire blaster box made my football binder. Beautiful cards even without the logos.

[@RussDahl]

I’ll be completely honest with you. I think your content is fantastic. I love how you speak the truth. I love how you called those trolls out. I think it’s great and keep doing what you’re doing, man I really enjoy your content. I learned a lot from it honestly being a card collector not just for the money so I appreciate you man.

[@erik814u2]

RGL, I’ve been watching you for 2 years now and I gotta say that I consider you to be one of the most honest reviewers and most genuine card “influencers” on YT. With that said, please don’t lose those traits. Everyone has an opinion and that’s not a bad thing. But to be so toxic in the comments section is just unnecessary. If you like something in particular that may not be popular amongst most collectors, there’s nothing wrong with that. As a fellow collector myself, I agree that if unlicensed cards are done right, I could consider them more valuable to me personally than what they may bring on the secondary market and honestly…those numbers won’t mean a thing to me when they are beautiful eye candy images and part of my PC. Don’t be drawn in by those commentators that seek to be nothing but negative. Their opinions may very well be genuine, but the path they take to make it known is a toxic one you don’t need to travel on. 👍🏻

[@leowitherow2531]

Absolutely love this set! Have constantly been picking up singles of my guy Herman Moore and I personally don't give a second thought about buying these unlicensed cards. Keep up the quality content RGL!

[@gregwilliams855]

Thanks for the video! Well said take. 2023 Allen & Ginter had Wemby and the Fanatics exclusive NFL rookies in it too.

[@crazyredbeard99]

I'm about midway through my first blaster and I've gotten 4 Strouds in 3 packs, one of which was a sky blue/pink shock parallel. Not terrible at all.

[@watsontv4727]

Don’t let the Haters get you down RGL! You keep it real and as a collector that’s all we can ask for! One more thing your intro is my favorite out of all the “Card Influencer’s” on the tube!!

[@garrettgordon6539]

These cards are gorgeous. I caught a Target restock today and bought a couple boxes just because I wanted the cards. Even hit a couple autos. But I just wanted the cards for the art. Got a topps black of Vick that looks unbelievable.

[@pappypepper]

You are my favorite breaker on KZbin! Keep being you bro!

[@gmaclastname6666]

I don't care if it's unlicensed as long as it has nice inserts,legends and superstars...im in it for collecting my favorite players

[@bradenhofmeister2851]

Xfractor indeed. Checkerboard pffff. Love the honesty on all of it

[@ManJim]

Love the commentary. That is why I am a fan, you always say how you feel and keep it raw. Thanks for the rip and review.

[@eschur38]

Your input on leaf has helped me to collect more of it RGL! Great vid man!

[@Dj_________]

Well said RGL👍. I’ve been watching all your videos since you pulled the one of one Zion, and I can say without a doubt you’re one of the most honest content creators on KZbin. In fact, KZbin is lucky to have someone like you posting content. Thank you for all that you do, coming sincerely from one of your OG supporters:)

[@TornZilla_pewpew]

Good talk. Always keeping it 💯. They did a fantastic job of giving lots of little wins with a high ceiling. I'd be less salty on my personal rip results had I not invested $2k into resale prices. But, like you said, lack of supply and I had a demand. 😂 And 3 hobbies, 6 mega, 8 blasters VS. 2 optic hobby boxes were definitely more appealing. The draw for Topps Motif is this Friday. I stuck out x2 on composite, so 🤞🏻 EQL shows me some luv this time around.

[@lansman22]

To be fair, even if you hit that Montana /10 patch auto at the Topps pre-sale price, assuming you are getting two other autos which are 'meh' you are still not breaking even on your box at $300 after taxes and shipping. Understand the product needed to be out there to get RC autos of these guys out on the market and there is likely some longer term value for the top stuff, as with any product. It is what it is, just not for everyone at these prices.

[@stradgaming4625]

Cards look awesome. My issue is trying to find a blaster box that's not double the original price....

[@SpunkyWeirdo]

Got blasters for $30 and hangers for $15

[@markduckworth9470]

You are the main man in breaks. I was a fan of Chris (card infinity) who just retired. You are the best out there. Great work! Mark from Vancouver, WA.

[@historyrevisited1803]

Honestly, they did a great job with this set. I wish Chrome basketball looked this good.

[@zjoyce1730]

Seems crazy to think they were made by the same company with how bad the basketball version looked.

[@ArrowoodsHobbyShop-Ebay]

RGL Thank ya brother for the consistent content. It really helps with the day.

[@FrankOG314]

I love your videos! I really appreciate that you also make videos about unlicensed products and retail products! these Videos are very important💯. Greetings from Austria✌️

[@AcmePacks]

there is a reason composite continues to rise on the secondary market and licensed products like Select continue to drop. If it is a good product, the market will respond in kind

[@slimrock]

I love the look of this and think it is very smart of Topps to release these. They are marketed it to get people used to Topps lines of cards. Sure it is not licensed but in a year they will be and I am not a license snob. Also the sale prices are competitive but I am a hobbyist and a long time fan of football first so I am really liking they are mostly HOFs. Tell me I can get an auto of one of my favorite players and I am sold. I just wish I had gotten in on the hobby box on Fanatics/Topps before it was doubled by the middlemen sellers. They had them for sale for quite a while at $250 or $260, cant remember now but I did get some blasters and hangers.

[@JonnyCards]

Hey RGL Great Video! 👍 Solid points with your take on non licensed products.

[@TheNich29]

No matter what they say you brighten my day every time I get to watch one of your videos you're so real that's what makes you so good keep up the good work go dolphins

[@wheeler2816]

As a legends collector I absolutely love this product. They all look amazing in hand. I don't chase rookies. It's a losing proposition.

[@RobertT-hu8ec]

I always enjoy your content whether I personally like the product or not. Keep doing you man!

[@GabeTheCollector]

I agree completely that the laser shocks are just absolutely gorgeous. People truly are to worried about market value of everything, the cards themselves look great and it’s a fun product and even as stated in the beginning the ROI is much better than most products on shelves they just don’t want to look

[@JeremyMcKinney1979]

I love unlicensed too I love the Leaf Lumber and a lot of the panini baseball and I like this product I wonder if this is just showing what their designs are gonna look like when they get the license

[@Pop1Collection]

Resurgence looks amazing. Ripped a mega and got a vet auto /75 of resurgence

[@leobetonio6483]

Nothing but love for you and your love for unlicensed products I am a big fan of them too I have a lot of videos and shorts of me breaking unlicensed products period I am behind u 💯🤙

[@kellyginter3393]

Those Allen & Ginter cards are fire

[@coolguy367g]

Sorry if people were giving you a hard time. I really enjoy your vids and always felt you have been authentic. Keep up the hard work!

[@BarkinGoodStuff]

I love composite. Don't collect football so hoping they make a basketball version.

[@markchinery387]

I got a monster and hobby from topps uk, totally agree this is a really fun rip - good looking cards and good quality. I can’t buy $1000 boxes so this is a fun chase

[@seankately4411]

I botched it on release night because I didn't remember him lol

[@hotjoe817]

Sell your Bryce young cards fast,,,,,,,,,,,,Anyways, lol,,,,, I support unlicensed cards btw, the prices should be lower though. RGL, I thought you were AI. Lol, thanks for all you do, go bills

[@entropysmith6965]

No point in even selling them now. Better to just hold and hope for the best, since they’ve dropped in value so much already.

[@hotjoe817]

@@entropysmith6965 I think he’s toast especially with that team

[@King_Immanuel]

I’d hold just a bit. Only one week in. By mid season you’ll be able to tell though

[@BoringReviews]

People are jerks. Plain and simple. I like your videos. Always have. Like your personality and the fact that you show us all of this stuff. I don’t get why people have to be so negative. Miserable people who think trashing others will make them feel better. It obviously doesn’t as they are toxic in all the comment sections they enter. Losers

[@Hoosierdaddyjones812]

Just pulled anthony richardson retro TV case hit out of a mega from Walmart. Only picked up 2.

[@altonT]

Found 3 megas at $50 each. At that price this is a great set. Hit a Farve Urban Legend. At the "I'm going to gouge you price of $100 a mega". No, just no.

[@papakuv7249]

What size top loaders do you use? The cards slide in so nice

[@jacobconat108]

Keep doing you bro!!!!!! I am a big collector and seller and you are 1 of 3 I watch consistently. Keep telling them the truth!!!!❤❤❤

[@ericflynn6541]

Based on what we're seeing from this and the chrome basketball release it looks like the Hobby doesn't care AT ALL about the lack of license

[@Mung82]

They care about the licenses but they also know that people with more money than brains will buy into the hype of big rookie lottery ticket pulls. The hobby is just degenerate gambling these days. Sucks for collectors.

[@wildnwetkitty64]

No logo products are useless to me. It does show that the companies are just about making money. They could care less about the card collector now adays.

[@stevyboycards]

You the man RGL!! Let the haters hate! Love your stuff, keep it up! :)

[@matthewschrier7522]

Love your videos. People need to just relax and if they don't like unlicensed products then don't buy em and just wait until fanatics gets the license. Keep doing you. GO RANGERS! LOL

[@b516uck]

If unlicensed cards are truly supported in the hobby, then we should be supporting indie printed cards and custom created cards. Topps already has a lion's share of the market. I'm not a fan of spending money on unlicensed cards when the rich keep getting richer.

[@Teengenerate77]

I couldn’t agree more.

[@michaelosborne1063]

Pulled 1 of 1 Chris Johnson superfractor any offers?

[@LetsStormTheTeaCupRide]

Singles sell for big bucks NOW because for some reason people NEED to get them NOW instead of waiting and getting them for far less when the next product comes out. Unlicensed are custom cards, IMO.

[@andrewpreis2764]

Bro your content is awesome! Haters always gonna hate, you keep doin you bud! Some of us out here love it no matter what!!!❤❤❤

[@kevinjeffrey8449]

Off all the product reviewers I enjoy this channel the most

[@aarongallegos3420]

Great video man I love the product by the way keep making banger videos brother!!!!

[@Jeffs8247]

Another great review RGL, keep it up bro. These cards look great, just a shame Topps missed the mark with the basketball set.

[@ericflynn6541]

What we could do about the product prices from panini and tops is genuinely get a bunch of artists together and produce unlicensed art cards that woild blow anything these companies produce out of the water visually

[@TheNich29]

It seems to be the megabox is pretty good blaster boxes are pretty hard😅😊😊😊😊😊

[@jf7513]

RGL tells it like it is and i like it that way. my favorite are the topps chrome base and parallels.

[@King_Immanuel]

I was a baseball guy and I loved optic baseball because even though it was unlicensed it was a great value and I feel the same for cosmic. If any of you don’t want those “unlicensed trash” Strouds I’ll collect em!😂

You are the best. Hands down - genuine content and fun

Yes, there is 2023 Allen & Ginter. Wemby and Stroud autos can be hunted in those.

Just bought two megas, they are going to be delivered today. Hopefully I hit an auto or two

Keep doing what you’re doing. Nothing wrong with enjoying the hobby. Some of the products you rip that are unlicensed look amazing so therefore bring out some more Pro Set. 😎

Finally a breaker calling out the comment section on videos… people in the comments are just ignorant and solely believe there opinion is the only one that matters… well they can sit on a bag of butt plug… Hats off to you. Great video again as always.

[@jtlanders7479]

ALWAYS GREAT CONTENT!!!

[@brettcb471]

I just hope any future RGL influencer cards are fully licensed!

[@JamesCabral-h5z]

The cards look alright but as you said price is too high. I do like that they have only 4 rookies that basically everyone is chasing. Some big autos as well. Can be fun to rip but for value long term don’t think it will be there.

[@Holyboxbreaker]

I was a whiner in your last vid. Mad respect for this vid. I don’t think the prices are high just not nuts about topps dropping unlicensed a year before they have licensed. I love leaf love. Just don’t understand topps move here. Anyway love the channel, love you read the comments. Gained a fan 😘

[@itradingcardscollectibles8595]

I noticed a lot of the estimate have $5+. Is the market all of the place for the value ? Thanks for sharing 🎉

[@RunGoodLife]

Market is really tough for a lot of stuff, and sometimes we need to extrapolate from other colors because a specific #'d hasn't sold yet.

[@itradingcardscollectibles8595]

[@duncanmoss8786]

Please Pin This One: RGL this product is the best with one small issue. Team Cards, some had 15 players and some were limited to a single player maybe with a second player as an autograph. If TOPP's actually made base for at least 3 players per team . . . the product would have not been just good, but totally "SENSATIONAL" Okay TOPP's there's your only complaint. Please spread the love just a little more. 👍👍👍

[@scootert]

composite Hobby was great plenty of variety Topps bringing their products to new collectors only issue teams like TB & NO only l or 2 cards so totally agree with your point 🛵

[@durfeecoach1]

Sorry I will get more excited getting some autos of a bunch of team all time greats and HOFers rather than a bunch of non name guys or super overhyped QBs. Crazy that people rather pay $$$$ for Bryce Young rather than a nice Joe Montana rc, crazy.

[@Pccpy]

Do you know if PSA or BGS will grade these?

[@RunGoodLife]

Yes they will.

[@1AZ.-.]

I found the Megas hit autos more often than not.

[@JamesNpersonal]

I agree 100%. I also would rather get a legend auto from their hobby than a random lineman or non helmet rookie. My biggest worry is if we are paying $600 for unlicensed basketball and the guys looking like they are playing at the rec center, then how much will they charge once they have the license? Would have been nice to have a refreshing step back in the hobby on prices so maybe younger kids can participate

[@sneakyshorts11]

Pushing 60k for a reason.

[@huxbux]

Quite enjoy this set. I think it was well done for an unlicensed product. And the Megas possibly thr best retail release this year. P.S. I couldnt help but feel like a mannequin while watching this one 😉
