WHAT'S THE BETTER BUY???🚨 BOX BATTLE: 2023-24 Donruss Optic Hangers vs Mosaic Blasters

[@huxbux]

Happy Monday! Went out to see what was new on shelves this past week. Picked up a few new items to have a good ole fashioned box battle. Enjoy!

[@carlosherrera-ke1ju]

Cool highlights insert! Only critique would be to speed up the snap shots in between each other is possible..😂 I felt like I was watching in slow motion.

[@huxbux]

Noted. I was thinking about that while editing and wasn't sure. So speed through the first few shots and hold a couple seconds on the last maybe?

[@carlosherrera-ke1ju]

@@huxbux yes, perfect!

[@DanielHarrison1384]

Optic for sure. The mosaic blaster are $40 at my target. They were left on the shelf.

[@huxbux]

Yikes! At Target? Let the world 🔥 🤣

[@RobbingRips]

There is not a single walmart or target within 50 miles of me that is loaded like that. Nice rip! Love the top 5 at the end!

[@huxbux]

I live in a less populated area. Demand isn't that high. Alot of the stuff on the shelves has been sitting for months like the Prizm Draft. You better like the Top 5. Heavy R&D went into that 🤣

[@ERD9988]

Fun unboxing ❤

[@WavyWavy2]

Cool sets 🎉

[@coreygreenwood5985]

Yea I love in haverhill mass and the walmart and target are usually empty

[@Alaey_B11]

Well done!

[@junglegi]

Glad I found your channel today, love the video!

[@huxbux]

Welcome to the channel! Hope to see you around.

[@Kramer7969]

I haven't seen shelves like that since 2019. I went on Thursday which is restock day and literally all that was on the shelves were the basketball tins (no Wemby tins) and Donruss baseball blaster boxes. And I don't mean I'm not mentioning all the hundreds of boxes that were there from before, there were 0 boxes outside of the 8 Donruss blaster boxes and 6 tins.

[@huxbux]

I'm in a more rural area so it doesn't get raided. Downside is we don't get alot of product or a wide variety.

[@ScaryTerryCards]

I got the same stuff as you: Mosaic and Optic. I recommend staying far away from MOSAIC! It was horrible last year and this year too. However, I saw a video last night of someone pulling a Mosaic Silver Wemby.

[@huxbux]

Those exist? Now that you mention it, I haven't seen one vid with a Silver Wemby.

[@jonbradbury87]

Love the channel; your editing and pop-ups are hilarious! I already bought 8 of the Optic hangers and 8 Mosaic blasters and basically pulled nothing. Brandon Miller blue velocity, two useless red tectonics, and one green Wemby city edition. It's sad that we all have to suffer Panini retail together but misery loves company!😅

[@huxbux]

Retail can be a cruel you know what sometimes. With little incentive to make retail good, we're stuck with it. Appreciate ya! Have a safe holiday weekend!

[@jarhead251016]

Let’s get it. Wished my Walmart was stacked!

[@huxbux]

I long for my Walmart of a year ago. They shrunk down the sports cards from 16' to 8'.

[@brandonm508]

I like the optic look!

[@tomchang732]

There's no Walmart here that looks like that...but I guess it's for the best if the boxes are that rough 😅

[@louielozano5534]

Looks like someone was dealing from the bottom for optic with all them Aces over there! Now to see if I can find some hangers around here, lol. Fun rip!

[@huxbux]

Shhh. I had to deal legit on Mosaic to keep up appearances 🤣

[@kevinparkes590]

Same our walmarts are picked by the vendors flipping stuff online

[@huxbux]

That never happens...😐

[@jeffstallard1796]

I agree with you ,decent pulls and as always I enjoyed watching your video.

[@huxbux]

Thanks! We need more Jeff's in here 😉

[@kai1x_]

Damn that walmart's loaded. I like mosaic's art but optic is probably the best

[@j_toledo419]

Would be highly interested to see a breakdown on how or if some of these channels that are able to keep up with all the releases, would be interesting to see how many views, likes, etc they gotta get to pay for some of the products. Sorry if that was alot of words to say what I was getting at lol.

[@huxbux]

I've thought about doing a revenue breakdown video. I can tell you personally that for my channel, I get about $10-11 per 1k views on new release products. My Mosaic blaster video did well helping cover the costs. Opening a hobby box barely makes a dent. Opening product that's been out for months or longer, half the revenue.

[@SpiderAssault]

is there no mega boxes coming for Mosaic?

[@huxbux]

I don't think so. I haven't seen any preorders or even a peep about Megas. But I could be wrong.

[@jamessimonii2777]

Love it Brother💪🏼 pop ups are great

[@huxbux]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for tuning in.

[@bigbomberstacker9321]

Optic 3 Whemby's I think wins 😂😂 I like the top 5 format

[@huxbux]

In a runaway. Glad you liked it. Needs a little tweaking I think.

[@JBonancA]

Optic’s Aces were the kings of the court for sure! Tough to beat 3 Wembys. Love the segment.

[@huxbux]

Glad you like it. Wemby always wins. Undefeated.

[@jontellc4427]

I’ll take the Optic all day 🔥

[@simonsuh7822]

Walmarts got the mosaic blasters for 30 rn

[@thesoonerstatediggers1262]

I think I gotta go with the Wembys and the holo Grady.

[@huxbux]

Wemby always takes the day. Thanks for watching!

[@HighLifeHobby]

Optic for the win. The more videos I watch of Mosaic being ripped, I feel increases my odds of pulling greatness out of the 3 blasters I have sitting here. Just gotta watch a few more to know my boxes will be chock full of Wembys and micro mosaics and stained glass and Thompson twins numbered to 1 and Grady D autos and so much more! Thanks for having poo boxes! I appreciate it!

[@huxbux]

Might I make a bold suggestion? Wait until the year 2030 to rip 'em. Treat them like a fine wine. Let it ferment. I promise they'll be Red Seismic Genesis Micro Stained Mosaic Glass in there. 🫠

[@HighLifeHobby]

@@huxbux Ohhhh…you might be on to sumthin. Sofa king romantic! 🍷 🍽️ 🛌 these boxes

[@donnyleonard8576]

Fun idea of the top 5 voting. Saw someone already mentioned speeding up the snap shot part and it makes sense. Great video overall and I have to vote for Optic and the Wembanyama holo. GL on your next rip!

[@huxbux]

Yea ill do some tweaking on the next box battle. Love the feedback!

[@Ringdingsandmilk]

I like the look of Optic, but I’ve never seen Mosaic in person.

[@huxbux]

Optic = Clean. Mosaic = Busy

[@AITKEOVR]

I pulled a /88 victor out of a fastbreak. Then pulled 2 golds in the same box!

[@huxbux]

That would be the best fast break box I've seen. 🫨

[@ryanblaze932]

Hangers for the win❌👍👍👍

[@desiremico1497]

How is your Walmart always stocked. Mine is always empty :(

[@huxbux]

Maybe bc I live in the boonies 😑

[@txbs6107]

Is topps chrome basketball worth it? Coming out in 2 days in stores i think,.... niceee American dad watcher

[@huxbux]

If you can get it at the $299 price. Maybe. Definitely not at the resale prices of $500+.

[@BigBoyHobbys]

Love the content. Retail is so tough

[@huxbux]

Thanks! It's all tough. Retail always feels like your just scrapping by.

[@bretpatterson6736]

Nice rip

[@huxbux]

As always...thank you sir!

[@dwtn4life]

Not a fan of mosaic this year but appreciate the video!

[@huxbux]

I dig Mosaic. Do every year. I don't like that at checkout it thinks it's a box of Prizm.

[@dwtn4life]

@@huxbux Hard facts ✊

[@jeffpruitt5528]

Optic for the win. Trying to understand the thought process of releasing the new Mosaic with last year product still on the shelves and raising the price. It’s getting ridiculous.

[@huxbux]

Wemby = 💰 It's a simple formula.

[@danmelvin5369]

I love the mosaic look but think I am the only one lol

[@huxbux]

I dig it too. There are others...we shall find them!🤣

[@jeffmcdonald269]

Good video. Optic on top for sure.

[@huxbux]

Agreed! BTW...Jeff...great name 😉👍

[@jeffmcdonald269]

@@huxbux Lol they just gave it to me I didn't pick it and hadn't noticed before.

[@j_toledo419]

What area are you in? Just like with the kid Skyb shows on his videos, my local stores shelves have only stuff like older wnba blasters, some baseball, and plenty of magic/Pokémon/yadda yadda yadda but finding anything with even the smallest chance of pulling Wemby or Stroud is just never available. I even spent 2 months going almost daily to both my Walmart and Meijers. During that whole time I scored some Prizm Basketball hangers. Once lol.

[@huxbux]

I'm about an hour and a half northeast of Pittsburgh in a town you've never heard of. When I lived in Pittsburgh I can tell you, shelves there were picked clean as a dentists teeth. I think Sky-B travels far and wide for his cards. I also think he knows or is informed when restocks happen. His restock vids are pristine every single time. I could be wrong tho.

[@j_toledo419]

@@huxbux no your probably right lol

[@jarhead251016]

This is insane. My shelves are never loaded

[@sca3744]

Optic is the best.. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@huxbux]

It's a close 2nd for me next to Seleft this year.

[@CharlesCalvin-l6f]

#nice vid

[@huxbux]

Thanks and thanks for watching!

[@MrMacadapable]

Let's go

[@lockinglegacy9234]

Ahhh should of select

[@kimtieka5645]

Option c don't waste money on retail wax its always always a loss!

[@huxbux]

My KZbin channel doesn't give me that option 😐

[@lawrenceliebhard]

Optic is great

[@huxbux]

Agreed. My 2nd favorite retail basketball product just behind Select.

[@PrinceSlap]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏼

[@ez001]

Go optic!

[@mattkramer1838]

Don’t know why but I found myself rooting for Mosaic, lol

[@huxbux]

Everyone loves a good underdog story

[@j_toledo419]

Hey man ive said it before ill say it again, I LOVE the information and extra editing. Looks great brother. Your subs and view's will come if you continue to stick to this formula you have brewing here. I watch a ton of card videos and have been gravitating more and more to your channel and now when I see you drop a video I usually click right away. Aside from my normal faves (Vikings95 and SLVRsport) most of the card channels are the same recycled bs over and over. Some of them start strong and for whatever reason they end up forgetting what got them where they are and now most of thier videos are about them as opposed to the cards. Maybe they get a taste of success and feel like they are celebs idk. Anyway keep rolling brother, ill definitely join as well. 💪👍

[@huxbux]

I really appreciate that. I just try to give something you're not going to find on any other rip channel. I'm here plugging away, and thanks to you and everyone else that supports the channel, it's at where it's at.

[@kevinlum8279]

Optic any day over mosaic!

[@FFMCardsandMore]

Interesting top 5 format. I think that Optic did edge it out only due to getting those Wembys. #iamawarrior (See thought bubble telling me so)

[@huxbux]

You're a good solider 🤣 Mosaic was not on the Wemby train. Thankfully Optic was.

[@FFMCardsandMore]

@@huxbux I think the hangers produced more than the Mega box I got if you haven't seen it. Thanks again for that! It was fun to open!

[@huxbux]

​@FFMCardsandMore I haven't but I def will. Sorry it came so best up. I'll talk to the people 😅

[@BullieBreaks]

Optic all the way

[@72mgonzales]

I like optic more

[@huxbux]

Me too. Thanks for watching!

[@scottieclark2401]

Watched this late was on the road headed to casino so I could win money for cards. Lol😂

[@huxbux]

A sound strategy 😉🤣

[@adamthatoneguy8221]

Optic took that for sure

[@huxbux]

Wemby FTW!

[@PickSixCards]

What up Joe

[@huxbux]

All good brotha! Hope you're well.

[@SmartCard67]

Well Wemby win for sure

[@huxbux]

From one side at least 🤣

[@CardCollectors15-u5c]

I’m winning

[@Bojii777]

Optic won this time!

[@huxbux]

Wemby's rule the day!

[@lockinglegacy9234]

All seismics are off center!!

[@huxbux]

I didn't notice, but didn't look at mine. I'll have to take a second look.

[@michaeldominguez2960]

Mosaic sucks

[@huxbux]

It's not the greatest that's for sure.
