Wemby Hunting! 🔥 2023-24 NBA Hoops Hobby Box

I'm late to the Wembanyama party, but better late than never! I picked up a hobby box for the "low, low" price of $185, which is insanely high for Hoops. But we all have to pay the Wemby tax this year I guess. How many Wembys can I pull?

Yessss...I finally grabbed one of your surprise packs before they sold out! Gotta pick up a little Christmas for myself every once in a while. Thanks Sage!

[@SageTheCollector]

Nice! Thanks! 🙌🏻

[@joemarsh2050]

They love Walsh in Boston

[@THENEWMrYungT1992]

16:28 fun fact: you can look on the back of the box to see all of what is possible to get 😅

[@SageTheCollector]

Sure, but no one wants to see me stop opening packs and look at the back of the box to look something up 😉

[@THENEWMrYungT1992]

@@SageTheCollector packman has done it plenty of times before he opens the box…all you have to do is show the back and tell your fans to pause to see what it contained…also reading the boxes yourself before filming might give you a better understanding of what’s inside…just advice

[@SageTheCollector]

@@THENEWMrYungT1992 Ha. Don’t worry. I’ve been doing this for years, and I always read the back of the boxes first. I just don’t always remember everything. Figuring out if Hoop-las are always holos did not warrant stopping the break to look at the box.

[@RippinPacks4you]

I've joined the club 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉, love your videos, gonna watch this to its entirety as usual💪💪💪🙏..i like the per player lil tid bits the best❤.. beautiful photographer, reminds me of stadium club..nice last pack 1/1

[@SageTheCollector]

Thanks! I appreciate it! 🙌🏻

[@leossportscards8267]

Thanks for the preview

[@CardManic]

SAGE!!!! awesome hobby box, love the presentation inserts! box was super solid! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!🦃🦃🦃

[@SageTheCollector]

Same to you! 🦃

[@7LEVELCards]

I would say that was a pretty decent box. The presentation and the high voltage are sets I'm going after this year. They look so good.

[@SageTheCollector]

Agreed

[@gamedaylegends515]

Fun box opening! Congrats on the hits

[@SageTheCollector]

Thanks, Jeff! 🤛🏻

[@chrismoore7287]

Yeah, I got a back to back wimby.

[@user-ew8fo1od9h]

Once again great video sage. FYI as a blazers fan. Toumani has been playing pretty decent in portland. Though he struggles with his shooting, he's pretty athletic. He has already got a couple cool dunks (there was one over chet lol), and he can lock ppl up on defensive side.

[@cloudsey420sufccards]

Fun rip bud 👍

[@shanelee3349]

Maxwell Lewis tattoo is a VL for Victory Lap, for Nipsey Hussle and his brand, definitely an LA thing.

[@SageTheCollector]

Ah. Gotcha. Thanks. 👍🏻

[@chrismoore7287]

Same thing as in '92 with the shaq craze....i pulled the topps shaq gold and i was fine after that.

[@SageTheCollector]

That would have been huge back in the day. It'd still be pretty damn cool.

[@Crownjewelcardz]

Hey what do you use to get that overhead angle ? I love the camera angle

[@SageTheCollector]

It's just my iPhone pointed straight down

[@Crownjewelcardz]

@SageTheCollector whats holding the iPhone, though ? Ypur iPhone doesn't bounce like my phone does when i press record.

[@SageTheCollector]

@@Crownjewelcardz Mine bounces, too. I just edit that part out.

[@ami_collectables]

Was in a hoops hobby case break,we definitely had the back to back wemby cards in a few packs, and the presentations inserts I don't think are that rare unfortunately we had 9 in 1 case fyi

[@SageTheCollector]

Interesting! And, yeah, those Presentation cards seem to be pretty common.

[@Bangpaulxu]

Kris Murray presentation, nice! Wemby presentations been selling for 200-280 usd on CH. this year I am staying away from hobby boxes. Just might rip one or two blaster just for fun. Thanks for the rip Safe!

[@SageTheCollector]

I'd be ripping nothing but 2022 Tmall stuff if I were you

[@Bangpaulxu]

@@SageTheCollector will do haha

[@FrankyDup12]

Nice to see this year’s NBA Hoops!

[@SageTheCollector]

I agree!

[@marcbarrington1897]

You get a Noah Clowney auto just at the same time he makes his NBA debut against Miami. It was just meant to be with the pair of you!

[@SageTheCollector]

Stuffin' the stat sheet with that one rebound! 😄

[@shawracingcollects6624]

Hey Sage, Been to long brother. Had to take hiatus but back and ready to go. Great Rip brother. Nice bookend auto. Lets hope he doesnt play like a Clown, LOL. But the Murray was SICK. Thansk for sharing. Jeff

[@SageTheCollector]

Welcome back! I, too, hope he doesn't play like a 🤡! 😄

[@shawracingcollects6624]

LOL@@SageTheCollector

[@BigJBasketball]

Definitely an above average box from what I’ve seen! I’m guessing those Presentations cards are not SSP, but still more rare than all the other insert sets in Hoops, because I’ve seen some breaks without one.

[@SageTheCollector]

Yeah. I looked up that Kris Murray Presentations on eBay, and there are a bunch. Definitely not SSP. Maybe not even SP.

[@TNpl84]

Def not worth the price I’m just gonna buy singles of what I want

[@SmartCard67]

Blaster got back to back Wemby

[@SageTheCollector]

I've heard several reports of hobby packs having them, too, but every blaster I've seen has them back-to-back.

[@joemarsh2050]

The Back to back Wembys have been in Blasters i think

[@SageTheCollector]

That would make sense. I guess I'll find out soon when I rip my blasters.

[@jonathandavid9389]

My box came today & we both pulled the Giannis & Kyle kuzma city edition, the kyrie & jarace walker sheesh, Zion anti gravity. I got the back to back wembys pack, & the cade high voltage & my auto was hot ink christian braun

[@SageTheCollector]

Nice

[@jonathandavid9389]

I will get more hoping to at least pull an presentation before donruss is released I know origins will be be released but at the price & only 7 cards usually I'm not a fan so I rather try my luck with hoops@@SageTheCollector

[@cenogotkicks5269]

I think his tattoo means victory lap VL

[@BobTheCardCollector]

That was not a bad box. The presentation cards looks really good, curious what they will do overtime. Great rip Sage, as always :D

[@SageTheCollector]

The Presentations seem to be fairly common, unfortunately. Still a cool looking card though.

[@BobTheCardCollector]

@@SageTheCollector really? Hmm I must have been unlucky haha. Haven't pulled one yet

[@user-ni8bl7dz1n]

Ausar reminds me of Jimmy back on the bulls.

[@SageTheCollector]

Nice comparison 👍🏻

[@robertkeenan7530]

Gotta feel pretty good about how coby is playing lately. I picked him up on my fantasy team as a backup pg.

[@SageTheCollector]

I have him on my fantasy league, too. He sat on the bench a couple times early on, but he's been in my starting line-up lately for sure. 💪🏻

[@amigopuerco]

I pulled a 99/99 derrick lively. My camera fell over and dinged it 😢. Only numbered card. Lesson learned

[@SageTheCollector]

Oh no! 😥

[@mihiraminsportscards9143]

Oh man you got clowned (Clowney’d?). Not a terrible box though considering some of them have no Wemby’s and horrible autos. Love the presentations inserts and I might try to go after that set once the prices go down.

[@SageTheCollector]

I definitely got Clowned! 😄 It could have been worse I guess, but at $185, it's almost impossible not to get clowned on these.

[@jvkicktensai]

Got Wemby 😊

[@SageTheCollector]

Thankfully. Sold 'm both already. 😁

[@dennis4544]

New to cards why would the price of Wemby cards keep going down by next year wouldn’t it increase in value ?

[@SageTheCollector]

Sadly, no. Almost all players go down in value over time. Even good players. But in this case, these Wemby's are his first NBA-license cards in a Spurs uniform, so people are paying INSANE prices for low-end base cards. People were paying $40-$50 for the first Hoops base cards to hit eBay. Those cards will be $1-$2 next year, because by then there will be tens of thousands of them in circulation.

[@adamdankson448]

As a nets fan awesome auto pull, ngl he looked rough in summer league tho and hasn’t gotten any mins yet in nba

[@SageTheCollector]

Yeah, I looked him up afterwards, and I was not impressed with his 1 rebound. 😂

[@adamdankson448]

@@SageTheCollector def a project player probably

[@wayoflife9248]

Where did you get this for $185? Everywhere else is charging $200 up

[@hahaha-fy9ky]

Last year hoops hobby were half the price of this year, yet pack odds and design are fairly the same, not worth at all

I remember my first time opening a pack

In the Philippines it's $300 a hobby box

[@SageTheCollector]

Ouch! Stay far, far away! 😁

[@SpursCards21]

Color blind! Not a weird pack when it comes with a purple

[@SageTheCollector]

Why do you hate purple?

[@RBoy12Gamer]

ONLY $185! In Australia it’s over $300

[@SageTheCollector]

They're down to $150 now

[@RBoy12Gamer]

@@SageTheCollector I think they don’t sell them in any stores here which is annoying, and inflation has made them double the price

[@SpursCards21]

How Dare You only ever mention Big J! I don’t see him buying any surprise packs!

[@SageTheCollector]

Next time I pull a Timmy D, I'll mention you to even the score

[@user-ni8bl7dz1n]

$185 meanwhile in Canada it’s over $300 😢

[@SageTheCollector]

Good lord. Stay away from those! 😄

[@Kramer7969]

This would be a great box if it only cost about $75. Another basketball product with no true "case hit".

[@SageTheCollector]

Absolutely. These really should not be over $100.

[@BobbyHo2022]

these are way overpriced. most of the time i get crap after 400 dollars down.

[@SageTheCollector]

Way overpriced

[@MLthereal96]

Im gonna sound like a hater. But since im a magic fan I can’t help but not be invested in Wemby. All the shine spurs have been taking away as their 3- 14 in the Magic second in the east.

[@MLthereal96]

So I won’t be collecting wemby

[@SageTheCollector]

The Magic are way more fun to watch this year than the Spurs, that's for sure!

[@MLthereal96]

@@SageTheCollector yeah its been a while since we had a winning team so its fun. Even more fun for collecting the yound boys who are building a dynasty like Paolo ofc Franz, Suggs, Cole and Black
