Yeah that's a complete scam. The fact that the piece of newspaper could have been on the desk of a shop that Emily Dickinson could have possibly shopped, reminds me of the Spaceballs quote. "I Am Your Father's Brother's Nephew's Cousin's Former Roommate." "So what does that make us?" "Absolutely NOTHING."

[@PackAddictCards]

Ha! Correct!

[@Freethecommons]

Not from any specific event or game player worn jerseys are just as scammy. A pro athlete putting on a mass produced replica jersey for 5 seconds and then it gets chopped up and glued to cardboard is probably even less cool than an old timey newspaper clipping.

The newspaper “relic” could even be clippings from a newspaper about her, a newspaper that printed one of her poems, etc., and have no real in-person connection to her, as well. Think about that word “attributed”. Very, VERY broad. I have stayed clear of this product since I first heard about it.

[@gametimegallery7661]

Exactly right. The document relic was not owned by the person. The document relic is about the person.

Agree. Many are predicting panini cards (all sports). Will be worth pennies in not so long future. Topps I believe will maintain some value. Panini 👎🏻👎🏻 many many hustled

[@mrcatchingup]

It bewilders me that you purchased a second box. I suspect the store guy lied about having a regular that buys the product and he got cool stuff. He was probably desperate to make unload it and clear it off his shelf space and just try to get his original investment back.

[@brentbanks8021]

Magical words in sales - "As far as I know"... 🤣🤣🤣

[@PackAddictCards]

Yep!

[@INHUMANENATION]

It's not a scam so much as just a catch net for bad consumers. There is nothing inherently relevant about any of those cards. If they used actual pieces of history and cut them up just to put them only vanilla backed boards with the same blurb that would be a crime. It's like the pottery salesman that only sells two pots. One for 10 and one for 100. He makes the pots the exact same and yet tourists continue to show up and buy the more expensive pot.

[@huerosapo]

I cant believe you didn't know who Emily Dickenson was. wow.🤓

[@24dewey]

Got a stack (20) of them for free from one of my friends who busted a bunch of packs. I like history themed cards and knew who all these people were, but yeah it's definitely junk. The "relics" are pretty much cut from old newspapers or books that can be bought at any flea market or antique shop for a couple bucks. Not worth the $30 pack price. You're doing a good service calling this product out.

[@im_andrewtodd]

The only guy I could see buying this crap would be Rick from Pawn Stars 🤣😂

[@marcdavidgarcia2448]

Hook, line, and sinker or is that stinker. These companies live off the P.T. Barnum effect. The thrill of the overpriced chase is the scam. You're better off buying vintage cards that have a better chance of appreciating in value as long as there's an audience. Not so for this nonsense - here today gone tomorrow.

[@PackAddictCards]

That’s a very intriguing statement

[@kennybaker1026]

We sell a lot of these boxes in our shop. The guy that pitched them to us was a museum curator. He said they have 1000s of pieces that they've rotated through museums. They created the cards to help pay for the museums. We can't keep them in stock.

[@Loafbeef]

Who are these for? They have like zero secondary value so typical card collectors don't want them, and if you collect historical artifacts you probably want actual authentic intact pieces.

[@PackAddictCards]

All good points

[@oldmangamer76]

Stick to sports cards. These types of cards are crap. Honestly, Panini is getting caught using patches from other players in cards.

[@nathandowns1359]

FWIW, the books and newspapers are lesser hits. The newspaper wouldn't have been "read" by her, it would have had an article about her. Many times they buy a book signed my someone and take the auto for a 1/1, then cut up the book for the "relics". The original runs were much better because they would scan the full document and you could see where your little square came from. Some of those older series, at least, are totally legit historical articles. But I think your impression that she may have touched the newspaper based on other things in the hobby at large makes it feel like a scam if you dive in without looking into it all first. We have fun with them, for sure. Our favorite is a Ben Franklin from a land allotment document. It was signed by him, but it list all sorts of other names and property. Did he sign the document? Yes. is our sliver his handwriting... maybe... but it's still pretty fun to have in the collection.

If you're looking to make money, you lost once you bought the box. If you're looking to complete a set or you enjoy opening packs, you scored!

[@michaell6645]

First off.. Did you ever pay attention in history or literature class? I think what they do is buy old 100 page journals for like $2k then cut it into 5,000 pieces. Not any more of a scam than buying a $60 blaster box of topps at Target and getting a bunch of .30 cards.

[@PackAddictCards]

Reminds me of those junk jersey fusion cards they had during the card boom a few years ago. They just used old cards from years ago and glued squares of jerseys to them and claimed they had value. Biggest trash I've ever seen. people in trailers were probably assembling them in their living room.

The word "attributed" is a lawyer word........ that means stay away and save your money, or spend it on something else. Thanks for the video, I don't plan on ever purchasing anything even remotely close to these types of "cards". Liked and subbed, I hope it helps offset the money spent on this mess.

[@The_Wampy]

Those packs were pretty sad. The figures chosen to represent were not exciting or particularly interesting. I'd personally be more interested in a presidental themed card or something. The relic gimmick was awful, too. I did really enjoy watching you open such an obscure product though, its like a little time capsule. No one is ever going to review or showcase these cards, but I just got a peek inside the packs.

[@K3mbusm]

100% not a scam. You just didn't hit the cards you wanted, even though you acted impressed when you initially pulled them.

Glad you’re here

[@rickyhousewright5588]

You're misunderstanding the relics. The newspaper relics aren't newspapers the person owned or read, but they are newspapers from their time. Like if they have a JFK newspaper relic it might be from a newspaper story about his death. That's a relic of the past.. The autographs are not cut up, you get the whole autograph, but they take letters the person wrote and cut them up, so you may get a Abe Lincoln card with just the word "the" on it. That's a word he wrote in the letter, so it is his handwriting.

[@Batmite66]

Pokemon & Magic, etc. are not generally considered non-sports cards. They are collectable card games. CCG for short.

[@smbmostfamous1432]

[@scottstuber5857]

Emily Dickinson... The relic could be a piece of a page cut from a printed book, or poem she wrote. SMH

[@user-hm5zb1qn6g]

She's not even the greatest Dickinson in American history.

[@garylee3893]

Kinda cool. But don’t really believe any value. Might be wrong. Spidey senses say. Creators of cards are hoping. Doubting actual writings. Key they start off with newspaper clippings. ??? Still fun though. But I say. No value

[@fredzang2402]

If every relic card companies printed was worth tons of money, there would be more and more companies popping up essentially just printing money. The true purpose is educational. For example you didn’t even know who our 23rd U.S. president was. If a kid opens up a product like this, they will most likely be intrigued by the figure more so than the relic and research that person. Also you pay for the hunt, the thrill and the gamble. If you hit a 1/1 George Washington cut auto, you do actually make money from those cards and have a pretty cool piece of history in my opinion, which most people will never get to see or touch in person. Maybe you can call it a waste of money if you’re not into that sort of thing, but it’s not a scam!

[@EmeraldHill-vo1cs]

Kids cant afford this tripe.

[@fredzang2402]

@ kids can’t afford the clothes they wear, the food they eat or even the gadgets that keep them entertained such as the phone or tablet that allow them to watch KZbin. I speak as a parent who invest in my child’s hobbies. Just because I sign my kid up to play little league baseball doesn’t mean that 15 years down the line, I expect that investment to turn into a big MLB contract. It’s an activity you share and enjoy to pass time and create memories. It is however possible to hit the jackpot, just shouldn’t call buying a lottery ticket a scam!
