WHICH IS BETTER? HOBBY vs. RETAIL! 2024-25 Hoops Basketball Review

[@Tootallflyhigh6]

A dude who breaks cards who doesn’t seem like a total goofy. Finally

[@Coolectable]

😂

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Nice one!! Excited for this one :D

[@taylortottanner691]

Love the videos been trying to find a good sports card youtuber!!!

[@Coolectable]

Thanks! Welcome to the channel!

[@nyx8282]

Thank you for sharing getting into the hobby of sports card.

[@Coolectable]

No problem at all. Welcome to the hobby!

[@lecherousjester]

Been a long time coming for this release! As a Thunder fan it's been a tough wait for the first Ajay Mitchell cards and you pulled a good one. Clicked on a few other breaks of this first and clicked off pretty quickly, really like the quality of your review compared to what else is out there. Some really nice pulls - retail looks pretty good all things considered but I might snag a hobby box hunting the Presentations

[@Coolectable]

Hey I appreciate that! Yeah retail ain’t so bad. Definitely a bit more variety than last year. Good luck on the hobby box if you do decide to get one! Haven’t seen any gold presentations yet but I bet those are 🔥

[@seyha1863]

The way you said Jakob I knew you were a hoops head, really enjoy your content I’m wanting to rip some nba now

[@Coolectable]

haha appreciate it! I'm happy we're finally getting some new nba season products

[@TrevTheGinger]

even if you dont get the greatest auto, the hobby box feels so much more valuable than the retail boxes

[@donnyleonard8576]

Bro you're still doing it! Another terrific review with so much detail! I think the Hobby box is the way to go after this video. Nice hits in your Hobby and especially for your PC with the Sarr cards and the Risacher card is so sick if you want to sell it for neat the price of your comp hit me up LOL that guy prob got that steal cancelled on him. Yeah I had a great time watching this vid and GL on your next rip!

[@Coolectable]

Appreciate ya as always man and haha yeah idk what that was about. I’m seeing another recent sale in the Risacher for $63 so they definitely could have gotten more for it. Guess that other person got a steal 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@donnyleonard8576]

@@Coolectable Got your wish bro Kuzma a Bucks player now! With Jonas being traded as well you guys are going for a hard reset! GL on you next rip and your Wizards rebuild!

[@Coolectable]

@ thank god lmao. Needed him out but it’s gonna be a long rebuild. Gotta get some lucky ping pong ball bounces in the draft lottery this year

[@louielozano5534]

Awesome rip, definitely gonna be going the hobby route on this set, especially since it’s affordable lol

[@Coolectable]

Yeah definitely won’t break the bank. Hopefully some of the other bigger sets end up being reasonably priced

[@DudeYourDadCollects]

I was hoping you’d review these, thanks for this!! I think they did a really nice job with the photography for the cards. Can’t say I’m in love with the overall design but not bad. Of course love the Presentation inserts..always my favorite. Wonder if they’ll do premium stock too before their licenses runs out.

[@Coolectable]

No problem bro. Having the chrome cards in here makes me think probably not on the premium stock this year, but guess we'll see. Would think they don't print as many sets this year with the class being less popular

[@CheddahRipps]

This is one of my fav sets, thanks for the review. Can’t wait to pick up some blasters. Unfortunately the LCS’s never carry this in hobby format

[@Coolectable]

No problem man! The blasters aren’t so bad this year so I think a couple of those will get you some nice rookies with the potential to still hit a big parallel unlike last year

[@ObiesCards]

Impressed with your quality of video making nice job and fun rip!

[@Coolectable]

Appreciate ya! 😎

[@Gladtheripper]

Dang bro, sick rip!

[@Broncoscountry1]

Love the vids 🎉🎉

[@Coolectable]

Appreciate it! 😎

[@JacksonChristmas2011]

Great video!! Love the comparisons

[@gee_m]

Nice! Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@BobTheCardCollector]

That Antony Edwards had me too for a sec.

[@Coolectable]

That color haha. Thought I got the 1/1 😅

[@XKKollects]

Looks like everyone is getting their 24-25 except for Australia. Awesome rip as always and looks like some nice hits for your PC. Since Bob is reserving the Dutch player, I’ll do the same with Furphy! if you pull his auto this year, please let us know for a trade! 😂

[@Magical_Oreo93]

Whatchu talkin bout willis... but nah some breakers and shops have em.. MJtrading did some breaks yesterday and MintCollectables should have in stock, maybe more so in store

[@Coolectable]

I got you man. Will be on the lookout for Furphy autos!

[@XKKollects]

@ Cheers mate!

[@XKKollects]

@ Heya, thanks for the response. I have a few on pre-order from Aus shops but no dates on when these will be delivered, unfortunately mint collectables do not currently have these on their site and we're not in Queensland to visit their store. As to breakers I can't comment as we would prefer to open our own product.

[@-chungus]

@@XKKollectsThis is normally the case when pre-ordering from larger retailers in Australia … SJay2k and other merchants have stock. If you pre-order from a bigger retailer domestically … be ready for delays. I pre ordered 3 boxes locally and won’t be getting those for another week - I did an order from the states on Friday and it’s arriving today. I assume you’re newish to the hobby, so take it as a bit of a learning curve 😅- Good luck when you get the boxes, eventually …

[@red0332]

Nice one sir😊

[@cloudsey420sufccards]

Good stuff bud 👍

[@johnoh7520]

I personally like the design of the base cards. I might start hoops next once I complete my prestige base set

[@Coolectable]

Yeah they’re pretty clean designs. Also a fan. Good luck with your sets!

[@sca3744]

I like the hobby more than blaster.. awesome presentation hit..

[@Coolectable]

Thanks yeah that was a nice one to pull. Gonna be holding it for now and see how Risacher pans out

[@ChristopherHeinrich]

Bro! Great Hobby box

[@jsdewer6021]

Thanks for the good video👍

[@Coolectable]

No problem 🫡

[@BobTheCardCollector]

Holy Cow that Hobbby Box was perfect for you! Congrats my man. Please save your future Quinten Post pulls for me, I will save your wizards players ;)

[@Coolectable]

I got you brother! I will save all of those. And yeah this box was perfect for me haha

[@BobTheCardCollector]

@ NICE!

[@DudeYourDadCollects]

Everytime I see a Quinten Post card it reminds me of the dude Van der sloot. Bad vibes. But man Quinten has so much upside with his height and handles. Good luck to him!!

[@ChasoBaby]

i pulled that same ja from a 2.99$ pack from target yesterday... thats so funny

[@Coolectable]

Haha nice that is funny

[@ipuckyTTV]

so do the cards carry value or is it considered a just collectors thing i’m new to this

[@Coolectable]

@@ipuckyTTV Depends on the set. Hoops doesn’t carry that much long term value compared to sets like Prizm or Optic that come out later in the year

[@bretpatterson6736]

Thanks for the cool 😎 video. Thanks for the content.

[@Coolectable]

No problem man 😎

[@mattmaitcase13.15]

Man I swear, you’re bigger hits are always for Washington! Haha whether it’s Commanders or Wizards! I’m never pulling decent Washington cards haha

[@Coolectable]

Haha yeah my Washington luck has been pretty crazy! It’s coming man I see a big Jayden or Sarr in your future 🤞🏼

[@DisbgenRips]

Awesome content

[@davefellers]

I only collect Fball cards, but is Hoops the Score equivalent of basketball cards?

[@Coolectable]

Yes, but score was college uniforms for rookies which is the major difference. They are however both one of the first widely available releases for their respective sports.

[@CardAddict23]

Hobby is better but these new designs I don't care for. I like the 2024 nba hoops better.

[@thatguyronwaiters6485]

Hobby

[@thebestneverrest]

another banger video

[@Coolectable]

🔥🔥🔥

[@michaelmercado6680]

I’ll be saving my money and laying off ripping 24-25 nba products. Class looks complete trash

[@Coolectable]

Don’t blame ya if you’re not invested in any particular players. It’s a pretty weak one

[@pezscards3859]

Yeah hobby a bit better, but that's usually the case. But nice to get 90 cards for $25, rare these days. Wonder if the chromes mean no Premium Stock this year??

[@Coolectable]

That's what I was thinking. Quite a bit of chrome coming out of these boxes with 1 per pack so not sure if they'll end up doing a whole separate set this year

[@sfwisdom6673]

That Ja is sick. How much you want for it?

[@Coolectable]

Not really married to it or anything. Think the $7 comp is fine if you want it

[@sfwisdom6673]

@ that’s perfect, where can I contact you.

[@ELBOXGiV3R]

Haven't seen many wemby cards.

[@Coolectable]

Yeah me neither. I just got the one base card from all these boxes

[@DelbertLaviolette]

Ripping my blaster today Let’s see what we can get

[@Coolectable]

Good luck! Hopefully a nice numbered card in there

[@emmanuelruizleon4866]

Niooo Wembanyama???

[@Coolectable]

Pretty tough pull still even in his second year haha

[@kingbobi9949]

These look meh. Love the rip!

[@thecrutch9]

Weaker class and they have to rush everything since they lose the license soon and won’t make it to get everything out.
