WHAT A DISASTER! THANKS PANINI! | 2023-24 Prizm NBA Hobby Box Review ($1000 Per Box)

We've seen a lot of nonsense on this channel, but I don't think we've seen any thing quite like this. Today we're ripping a box of 2023-24 Panini Prizm NBA Hobby Box, which cost $900+ and feature 22 parallels and 2 autos. We're chasing Victor Wembanyama, Brandon Miller, and more from the 23/24 rookie class. This product is the most popular basketball set of the year, but as we all know popular doesn't always mean best.

[@gregwilliams855]

That was beyond brutal. You mentioned what happened in your Wednesday night break, but you truly can't believe it until you see it. That was the worst box of Prizm Basketball hobby that I have ever seen ripped. You didn't even get big names on the color/numbered cards. I'm impressed by the composure that you showed during the video. You are a true professional in the hobby. After the NFL & NBA licenses are gone, Panini is going to be last place in the US trading card industry. How hard is it to create good will with customers in the hope that you can retain them after Fanatics acquires NFL & NBA cards by at least providing a decent product? I think once Panini lost the Fanatics deal, the powers that be just decided on a massive cash grab until they can't keep the printers running anymore.

[@pJ-us2vl]

Prizm has always been really bad with nothing in most of the boxes but this year they really messed them up missing cards, damaged cards, I did an FOTL break and 1 of the FOTL boxes had 0 FOTL in it .

[@gregwilliams855]

@@pJ-us2vl I think I saw a FOTL break with 0 FOTL too. The "find 2 auto graphs" wording is also pathetic. If you are running short on autos because guys signed with Fanatics, just release the unsigned signature as SSPs like they did with Donruss Basketball. What the heck is going on with dirty cards in Prizm breaks too? Embarrassing.

[@stacky54]

Nah if anything, sealed boxes will go up. Especially if the players pan out

[@TrongNguyen-dc8kq]

It looked that way to me. You got ripped off by Panini.

[@vancitygrizzly2993]

I've been watching lots of Prizm basketball hobby and FOTL rips, and people are getting screwed left and right. Missing autos, missing FOTL numbered cards, and lots of damaged cards. It's insane. Thanks very much for ripping these terrible hobby boxes so the average collector doesn't have to. We appreciate it.

[@pJ-us2vl]

I just said the same thing and I did a 3 box FOTL break and 1 of the boxes had 0 FOTL in it lol

[@peternguyen7962]

Everyone is getting panini’d, I almost brought a FOTL but glad I didn’t…. Would have just resell the sealed box.

[@slowroc]

@@pJ-us2vl😮 this is frightening

[@boldon]

Same with me - fotl with no fotl exclusive inserts. I called panini and they offered me 150 points ridiculous!

[@BigWillyScott7]

Nevermind my RPA Tank Dell to 10 that if I'm lucky may get in 2026. No one can logically if trying to make money recommend a single Panini product moving forward at this point. This is 100% just raking in as much dough as humanly possible with the time remaining. Its Bullshit that they put out a Checklist of EXACTLY Stating what is available and yet they are not and never will be. I'm not sure what the recourse should actually be but only way they'd get hit is with a class action lawsuit across all of their products. They should but for all of us customers, not getting a fair compensation regardless. The redemptions is mind blowing. How can there not be a time limit of the 6 months or you get cash back for the running FMV of that card at the time of opening? i don't get it how they aren't getting massive pressure for this BS.

[@AcmePacks]

Ive seen so many boxes missing autos. Absolutely ridiculous in a $1k box.

[@mrbob8618]

You can blame that 1 on topps fanatics. They're the one that print the cards and their factory. Set the packs up for panini.

[@BigWillyScott7]

I haven't seen one have 2 autos yet. Thats just effed up. Has to be false advertising or something

[@BigWillyScott7]

Acme, your blaster Boxes were better by a mile that this!! One blaster box compares to that box

[@mattgohlke8216]

It says 2 autos per box, it's false advertising and they are legally obligated to make good on it.

[@djmedo17]

i think panini it going to made much money as thy can till 2026 ,, than is TOPPs the hero with the licence !!

That was so bad my dog even said "Rough"

It’s 2025 am so happy they losing the license they are totally stealing from hard workers and kid

[@MrWheezyE420]

If you think they are going to do any better then I have a bridge to sell you. Fanatics ruined the collectable merchandise market, they are going to do the same with trading cards.

[@peralta2912]

So your ok with cards being stolen and back doored, sold on eBay, having dub 1 of 1 Topps is so great lmao

[@marioblaauw5760]

And you are okay with paying $1000 for nothing..okay to each there own@@peralta2912

[@Apillow_]

I’ve seen like 20 boxes of this product opened now and none of them have returned more than like $150. Straight robbery 😢

[@chasejackson7248]

You can't get robbed of you let them do it.

[@benzosbreaks-bam]

I definitely wasn't buying prizm hobby for $1000, but jeez, that is brutal.

[@softaco3088]

I've seen multiple videos of missing autos in these boxes. Panini fudged up with this release

[@DrPepperPat611]

Same! I don't know if I've seen a video yet where two autos are pulled! Fucking rip off

[@kintarooe4539]

I always saw two autographs, but they were trash.

Yes the box was brutal, but your video editing had me laughing out loud several times🤣. The clips you added, and the timing of it all was spot on 👌 pure genius if you ask me

[@Knockoutsportscardz]

I'm not a fan of prizm , but that's disgusting at the highest level. A hobby box should never be that expensive unless your guaranteed 3 autos atleast!! Just a kick in the nuts!!

[@jingtianzhao3961]

But autos is not the chase in this set anyways, should guarantee 20 numbered cards imo

[@streetreps6837]

autos arent the chase, theres like 3-4 chase autos lmao the only way im buying this is if its 250 per box NO MORE

[@Knockoutsportscardz]

I was generalizing hobby to price to autos. It makes it worse when the big chase has no auto!! Just a lackluster product IMO

[@pJ-us2vl]

Prizm is always a couple junk autos, some numbered cards of nobodies and a ton of base. Even the good base autos like Paolo last year are some of the cheapest autos to buy and this year no good rookies even have autos.

[@Mutedx0331]

People keep buying, Panini keeps scamming lol

[@DarrenFerguson-mw1tk]

Thank fuck Upper Deck hockey has thier shit together this is bullshit

[@Mutedx0331]

@@DarrenFerguson-mw1tk yeah and the crazy thing is, this isn’t the only situation where this has happened, 2 on avg I would still think you’d at least get one auto card.

[@michaelhobbs3924]

@@Mutedx0331 Exactly, and I honestly don't know they can even say two on average, ton of boxes with zero autos, and I'm yet to see a single box with 3 or more.... so its not even on average, its more like "up to 2 auto's"

[@jeffmcdonald269]

I've watched several of these being opened and none of them have been good but that was brutal.

[@djwatts44]

Finally someone who agrees. I watched so many breaks on what not and laughed at how bad the pulls were. What a ripoff of a box.

[@nickmartinez2945]

Run Good has the funniest comedian in the hobby!!! Deprived sleep for 72 hrs with a diminished bank acct. But we always come back for more. Lol😂

[@MrMlev123]

RGL please do a follow up video to document if Panini reimbursed you or offered to replace the autos in this box. I’d love to know.

[@TheAbsentMinded1]

Thanks. I’ll definitely not be opening this in Hobby. Definitely contact them FAST

[@itradingcardscollectibles8595]

You deserve an 👍 and a medal 🏅 for just ripping this box and sharing with the community. Thanks for sharing

[@pJ-us2vl]

Less than $50 in cards for $1000 box looks like every Prizm box I've seen the last 3 years besides the missing autos they usually gave you atleast 2 junk autos.

[@polishmasterjay]

Was having a terrible Friday, I can see I’m not alone unfortunately…speechless Run speechless!!! You’re so entertaining and hilarious about it, but man that hurt even me my man…🤦‍♂️💔

[@vincegarcia914]

i was cracking the whole time man your funny well played panini the last part tho did you get 4 auto? man thanks you made me laugh so hard new subscriber here more power man keep ripping

[@digitalkel83]

Brutal... I am so sorry... but you can depost the Base into my PO BOX lol.. 🤣🤣

[@droach1985]

I saw a comment somewhere and the poster said he saw a break that had 4 autos in 1 box. So many reports of no auto boxes its crazy.

[@howievision]

That is brutal. I saw another box that was shorted an auto. I think it was Pacman s FOTL?

[@antmancards]

With Panini's price inflation, that very rarely produce a positive ROI, no wonder Topps is taking over. I would not be surprised to see a class action lawsuit at some point.

[@LogansRunningMouth]

You are 100% right. Unacceptable Panini. The box I ripped on my YT channel wasn't much better but at least I did get 2 Autos. You can have them because that was stupid. Can we all just band together and boycott Panini??

[@infamouson3157]

That's some crazy $hit man, I have only seen this happen maybe once. Side note I ripped 4 Monopoly so far, and really enjoyed them. I have a good feeling you're going to hit a monster Wemby when you rip them.

[@masterjiraiya224]

I work at a local lcs, and a gentleman that comes in at least 3 times a month maybe more. Bought the new recon hobby boxes. And he said he didn’t get any autos in his either.

[@4BrothersCollectibles]

This is the 5th Prizm Retail Box video opening I've seen today and I don't think any of them would get back 25% of the cost of the box. Hobby from Prizm has been brutal this year, but people keep overpaying, so the prices stay sky high.

[@RogerGabbe]

They should start reinbursing people for boxes like this, that's just crazy

[@cristobaldelacruz142]

Not just reimburse them, but send the 2 autos with that check.

[@theeasterbunny8308]

Don't think I've seen anyone pull anything decent yet. $900 is a rip off. No decent rookie autos in the set.

[@2broscollectibles]

id take one monopoly blaster over that hobby box now that we know what was in it... sounds like youll be contacting panini support on this

[@jeffersonjohnson]

Why people still open Prizm is mind boggling to me. Did we really think they care about the customer when they are going to be irrelevant very soon?

[@bizzigieboysbreaks]

That's crazy! I took my kid to the LSC and we domed one box yesterday. We got 0 autos also! I didn't think anyone would believe me. I checked 5 times, then counted cards and there were 144 there. We did get a blue Wemby /199 so I am far from complaining, but I thought the auto thing was crazy.

[@pJ-us2vl]

You should open a quality control complaint with Panini. You will need your receipt and the part of the box stamped with the number.

[@bizzigieboysbreaks]

@@pJ-us2vl Thanks for the info. They can tell by the box number? I didn't record it, so it's just my word. I'm not too beat up about it since the autos aren't great and I'm over the moon with the Wemby, but I will look into it. Thank you!

[@pJ-us2vl]

@@bizzigieboysbreaks I don't know it's just what they require for the complaint. I had to do a complaint for a bad case and that's everything they wanted plus the UPC from the case. If you file the complaint and have the receipt and stamp from box or everything they ask you to send in they have to take it seriously. What they will do or how they will compensate you I don't know but as you just saw this is common in Prizm this year. If you don't have a Panini account you will have to create 1 which is easy and then go to account and create ticket they have a choice for damaged card, box or case just choose box and they will tell you what to send in.
