Not kidding when I say I’ll buy a pack of cards for every like this gets! Will make a video after 3 days 🔥

[@jaxonbearhollis4475]

What about dislikes ?

[@TripleLwithfriends]

Every like i will buy a pack of cards

[@skybcards]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@PhillyFan_RetailRips_AndMore]

I opened a couple blasters yesterday and I felt like I was opening a can of pringles. Couldn't even stack them. I'm just buying everything Select this year on the shelves. That product has been absolute fire for me.

[@skybcards]

Yeah man they can be tough forsure, sorry bout the bad luck!

[@danieloakland5416]

Pulled a Silver Wemby rated rookie and a case hit Phazes of Lebron today. It was one of my better days of ripping for sure in a long time

[@cadenhill3451]

Pulled a silver wemby as well today, you know how much a PSA 10 would go for?

[@danieloakland5416]

@@cadenhill3451prob around $800. Mine is mint for sure

[@xavierwren0212]

To me the Inserts are sometimes the best parts of rippin into brands like this! Thanks for sharing another fun rip with us!

[@danefuller2664]

You're so right about the auto's for Panini, never seen anyone pull a decent one from a Panini retail product. Hence why I had to pull the trigger on a Prizm Paolo Banchero rookie auto card the other day! Appreciate the video as always

[@chrisyohe305]

Watch you video today. Get my blaster from target delivered and end up pulling a Klay Thompson red glitter to 75! Got the Sky-B Klay effect! Also pulled a purple Brandon Miller! Keep up the quality videos. One of the best KZbin rippers! And I still want one of those Kodak Black autos!!!! Cheers!

[@rudyestrada5286]

Ordered 2 boxes of these optic basketball. Hope I get a least a few nice hits like your video. Thanks for sharing.

[@kdtrey5isabeast]

I usually stay away from optic basketball retail but because it’s wembys year I decided to rip 3 blasters and a mega. The blasters were ok. Got a Matisse thybulle red glitter /75 and tyus jones auto and a bunch of decent base rookies. Then in the mega box I got a wemby express lane holo in the second to last pack so I took that as a win and then last pack I pulled a wemby rated rookie holo! I couldn’t believe it. Wemby has loved me so far this year 😂

[@skybcards]

Bangggg🔥🔥🔥🔥 my boy couldn't miss, congrats on the hits especially holo Wemby!

[@adrianmartin7439]

Gregg Maddux had best pinpoint precision of any pitcher ever.

[@skybcards]

Agreed and he had an insane run during the greatest offensive stretch in baseball history. He was amazing

[@lightbox_collectives]

So true. I hated him so much when he used to play against my Dodgers back in the 90's.

[@dylangenschaw]

Nice video as always my man! I opened up 7 blasters and got 1 victor express lane. I did get Jalen Hood blue sparkle /15 which was nice. I swear any box that has a sparkle has an auto. I do really enjoy ripping them!

[@OutlawedOutlier]

I told myself I wouldn’t go deep into optic bball this year. Bought 2 blasters and waiting on 1 retail box from DSG. Pulled a purple wemby rated rookie and a purple Brandon miller express lane in the same blaster, and an purple Ausar rated rookie in the other. After watching you and a bunch of other vids opening this product, it’s safe to say I got very lucky with hitting that purple wemby. Interested to see how the exclusive black parallels that come out of the retail boxes will look.

[@godisgreat8462]

Hello from the rising sun Japan 🇯🇵. Another awesome video and rip. Kids said hello. They love the baseball. Keep rocking it. #dont forget to Shohei Ohtani strike the like button guys 👍👍👍☝️🙏

[@skybcards]

Yo yo yoooo thank you my brother I hope you and the Kids are doing amazing, I'm going to be opening a lot more baseball 🔥🔥

[@gagebrosius1319]

Curious, what is your pile sorting method you have going there? Rarity from left to right?

[@gregwilliams855]

Thanks for the video! Nice Wemby pulls! I ripped 2 Target Optic blasters and pulled a holo Victor and a Jayson Tatum Phazes SSP. I'm not allowed to bad talk Panini for a few days. 🤣🤣🤣

[@Duuuval23]

I pulled an Ausar Thompson purple auto from this product. I agree when it comes to the Topps and Bowman product. They definitely offer more. I pulled a sick gold shimmer of Paul Skenes numbered to 50 out of the Bowman blaster.

[@pamn1220]

I hit the checkerboard jordan hawkins Rc but not the 1/1 signature 😢 hit a red glitter Anthony black RC too and an auto but tyus jones but fun rip for 4 blasters! Keep up the good work sky!

[@lawrencegonzales9407]

Pretty sweet pulls, thanks Sky.

[@LitLizardCards]

Great vid! Gave me a good sense of this year's product. Glad I only bought one box, the floor seems pretty low. I would have expected more hits for $400

[@joshwarner5304]

I've opened 2 blasters pulled 3 Victors. 1 base 1 white hot rookies silver holo 1 splash. I bought into a Wemby Rated Rookie holo razz for $7 and won it !!! I'm way up on optic !

[@jessicahewtty9990]

I got 2 blasters from Walmart and was able to pull an auto in each, red glitter in each one being Amen Thompson and I pulled a silver optic Victor. Super stoked that I got the Victor. Totally got lucky on those 2 boxes.

[@user-rw1sv6sv5j]

Fire video, and thanks for being consistant on your uploads.

[@skybcards]

Ayeee thanks bro, appreciate it💪🔥

[@meldoradotrickshots]

Love the vid as always🎉

[@skybcards]

Appreciate it fam🔥💪

[@wc1225]

Love this years Optic. Much better than the atrocious 2022-23 boxes. My first box was 🔥 Wemby, Scoot Splash insert, Brandon Miller and an auto (Jose Alvarado lol) always nice to pull an auto from retail though. Thanks for the vid Sky!

[@bradmccubbin1569]

Tuff product this year. I agree that the inserts are much improved, thank you!

[@skybcards]

Panini never does retail basketball correctly, it's frustrating sometimes haha

[@Helden_Daddy]

Randomly found a few in my mom’s tiny rural town Walmart. Got a Wemby My House, Curry Splash! and a Maxey red glitter 30/75. Not bad!

[@MasonPereda-dp4xx]

I pulled a Yoshinibu Yamamoto /150 from Bowman retail yesterday

[@skybcards]

Danggg🔥🔥🔥 nice pull bro!!

[@NFL-NBA-edits]

Those victors are really cool! I like the splashes

[@BHMUSTANG11]

Great opening SkyB 💯 🔥

[@shannonyoast6906]

As always great video 👍

[@ScaryTerryCards]

Great video! Thanks for the share!

[@TheNich29]

What do you do for your job

[@jzn5664]

Is there only checkerboards for autos? Or is there for bases too like the thumbnail?

[@ighoutdoorssports1492]

I just pulled a my house green holo 141/149 of Victor in a blaster box 2 days ago! This year optic basketball is killing it!

[@skybcards]

🔥🔥🔥 that's amazing, nice pull bro

[@bhdemoreel]

Got a couple coming from Target this week, hopefully they're 🔥🔥🙏. Don't know if you have access to these boxes but it would be cool if you were to do a Tatum and JB rookie hunt since the Celtics are the champs 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@stfu9159]

Love your videos never give up

[@robertmiles6805]

Enjoyed the review Skyb. Appreciate ya brother!

[@skybcards]

Ayeee thanks brotha, I appreciate you more💪

[@MasonPereda-dp4xx]

Quick Question Should I grade my Donruss base CJ cuz I know the base Donruss one doesn’t go for that much

[@skybcards]

Only if it looks like a 10!

[@richardharden6811]

Lets goo this set has been fun!

[@FFMCardsandMore]

"Victor carries this product." So true! It seems tough to have such a star that raises the prices of everything so that if you don't hit him it makes it harder to justify. That being said, it is still a thrill to have something like that to chase and to hit is even better!

[@s.macintosh-jc9rf]

Hi Sky, Thanks for your rip of Optic Basketball blasters. Beautiful cards for sure but no Downtowns. An oversight by Panini for sure. Hope that you have a fantastic day. It’s beautiful up here but we are going to run into rain ☔️ for the weekend. Good for the gardens and grass. Take care my friend and you have really come along with your card business! I admire your work ethic! Much love brother 😎, Peter

[@skybcards]

Panini just doesn't care when it comes to basketball cards it's always been pretty upsetting and disappointing to rip them open... But regardless I'm sorry to hear about the bad weather, it's been miserable here. 90-100 degrees every day this week and I don't have AC in my house, sleeping has been impossible hahah. Let's try to weather the storm together and get through all the bad weather💪 much love bro I hope you have a great day

[@CeoGLFC]

Fire video 🔥🔥🔥🔥that juan Soto yesterday was crazy fam

[@skybcards]

Man that was the craziest pull of the year so far

[@CeoGLFC]

@@skybcards facts fam !!!! Basketball our favorite tho

[@victormaldonado4591]

Damn crazy i randomly chose 2 blasters the other day leaving Walmart and in the 2 boxes was 5 victors and a numbers Jordan Hawkins splash. Sliver victor express lane and sliver my house. A base, splash, and white hot rookies. Guess being named victor has its perks lol

[@SportsnationProdz]

I absolutely love your vids Im a Celtics fan so got to be happy from the Championship

[@DustinCrafton]

Awesome video bro!! Some really nice pulls!!!

[@skybcards]

Ayeee thanks bro, appreciate it💪🔥

[@Daf3704]

Just saw these on the Target website so I wanted to check the reviews first lol

[@gabrielrd767]

Great video 🔥🔥

[@LyndyTrimble]

Love ur vids keep up the work also can u open a bunch of nba hoops winter boxes chasing after wimpy sweater card

[@youngmula04]

Ive said it before and ill say it again. Best sports card channel on youtube. Love watching these box opening vids! Keep up the great content sky-b

[@zootdgplus1618]

great rip and video as usual; can't say I am a huge fan of optic basketball blasters though

[@cardaddict5637]

Saw these at target yesterday going to check after work to see if still there

[@skybcards]

Best of luck on the hunt!

[@Splashbrorha-vy9ek3]

Bro you. Be pulling the best things I just want to say that you are the best KZbin with card content no body better till I found you. You are my go to guy when I watch your videos you will reach a

[@CllgeProdz]

Victor Is the best 1st year rookie chase of all time

[@rugdoctor7816]

Bought 14 blasters & pulled a base Wemby RR, holo Wemby RR & a checkerboard Wemby RR. Plus a Curry Phazes. Definitely lucked out! 😎

[@PenguinPacksVA]

No series 2 here but grabbed 3 chrome platinum

[@L3tsFnGoDumDuM]

Almost tried my luck on these the other day but backed out lol

[@BBFCards]

Optic football is so much more fun to open. So much more to chase in it. Not bad results for you though

[@chriss19827]

Always enjoy the rip shall see what I find in the wild today😊😊😊

[@skybcards]

Best of luck out there!

[@alvinaddison8718]

What do you do with all those base cards? I have tons but don't know what to do with them

[@ashtoncov]

I would give them to any kids you know who might be interested in collecting

[@asdhaslf]

Dumb Q, but are optic just nicer, glossier versions of regular donruss?

[@drecena6253]

Yes

[@RuggedRunnerOverland]

Poor Scoot getting no respect...I was yelling at my monitor when you blew right past his base rookie in that last pack of the second to last blaster. 😅

[@huntawakens4]

W man love the optic design this year

[@skybcards]

Same all day🔥

[@187kdub]

Ended up rippin same thing as I watched this. Hit huge. Halo Victor Wembanyama.

[@sca3744]

Optic 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.. awesome hits

[@autograph415]

i had a nice pul last night bought 1 bkaster last pack got a wemby express lane at first i thought it was a base so wasnt thrilled but wasnt upset at the box, a wemby is a wemby, got home a coupe hours later then as i pulled it out i saw the holo ahhaah

[@christopherwebster8353]

Pulled a pink velocity wemby out of the one hobby box I bought!! Not buying anymore I’m more than happy and up some good money

[@rickbouse2840]

Nice rip, not sure I want to invest much into it. Thankfull you do the reviews

[@skybcards]

Yeah I'd buy mmaaaaaybe a box or two at most outside of the review

[@kialoliver4325]

It’s are rippin time with the goat I love it 😻 so much fun

[@skybcards]

My brotha always shows love💯💪💪💪 I appreciate you bro!!

[@clauspage]

Not horrible, it would have been interesting to see a case, but we appreciate what you do! Demand is high.

[@bsfootballcards4663]

Saw a restocked restocking but only had baseball

[@skybcards]

Hmmm.... there should be more than just baseball

[@tree_city_gaming3056]

Actually enjoy the Victor splash better then the base . Rough pulls but sweet vid bud .

[@3RiversRips]

Nice pulls man! I know its a ways away, but are you planning on going to the Shipshewana show in September later this year!? I missed ya last time I was there!

[@skybcards]

I can try but that's pretty close to the national, going to card shows is hard for me with everything else going on

[@skybcards]

[@mattmortier8201]

If you grade I think they are absolutely worth it. QC is very good this year.

[@Puckluck09]

Man tobad there was no more parallels for the rookies this product seems chincy a tad, but great rip you got some nice cards for sure 👍 thanks for sharing bud !!

[@TurkeyFarmerTTV]

Optic is hard. If you are just buying a box or two, it’s pretty rough if you don’t pull a base wemby.

[@skybcards]

Yup agreed, the juice isn't worth the squeeze

[@shannonharris2016]

Great vid, who else is waiting for June 26, but Sky, I gotta ask who is your favorite draft prospect personally. I would say Cody williams

[@skybcards]

What else is June 26?

[@shannonharris2016]

@skybcards June 26 is just the draft I was just really looking forward to it

[@PackAPunchCards]

Love optic this year

[@skybcards]

You pull anything nice yet?

[@garciaderek]

I can never convince myself to invest in Optic retail. The floor is so low. Those first couple blasters were stinkers. Seems to be what I always grab off the shelf. Love some of the inserts and parallels, but I think I'll just buy singles for Optic.

[@skybcards]

Yeah bro stay away from optic basketball retail, it's night and day with football. No clue why they disrespect basketball cards so hard

[@jonathanhaston2562]

That was bad you gave it a 8.1 meaning it's a buy, im confused? Panini and topps is going to print wemby to the moon no way base cards hold up.

[@BrianColeman-ki1jt]

Hi sky b card good afternoon how are you doing today love the video 😊

[@dakotarutherford6758]

I bought a box over the weekend and pulled an auto on my third pack

[@davidknetter7134]

I pulled a Derek Jeter auto out of Platinum, absolutely love that product.

[@masonmatthews1226]

Got 3 boxes waiting on me when I get off work. Atleast they should be 🤣🤣

[@packman4206]

I love optic anything!

[@skybcards]

Man I feel that

[@adrianmartin7439]

Great video as always

[@user-rw1sv6sv5j]

you cant watch a 26 min video in 51 seconda 😂

[@skybcards]

Thank you my brother💪🔥💪🔥

[@ajtucker8098]

Honestly I have started chasing the inserts in basketball rather than the cards and the some of the “rarer” cards you can get in retail

[@j_toledo419]

I need that Mitchell My House!! 22:19

[@avidatlantafan7802]

Pretty decent rip

[@georgelittle7063]

Pretty decent pulls

[@skybcards]

Agreed can't be mad

[@trixboomin9247]

Glitters look nice

[@scottjohnson2382]

This man never misses

[@skybcards]

💪💪💪

[@urlocalweirdo6664]

Firee🔥 but not better than football optic. good vid bro❤

[@skybcards]

Agreed forsure, nowhere near the same level as optic football but thanks bro🔥

[@richardharden6811]

Pretty good for retail and wemby carries every nba set lol

[@Collectibles4Sale2Day]

Not alot of meat on the bones in these. They do have the new Phazes case hits that are pretty sick. Thanks as always for the rip bro!🍻👊

[@T-mansportscards]

Day 2. Any chance your willing to part with that Brandon williamson card ya pulled in the last video?

[@skybcards]

Which Brandon Williamson?

[@T-mansportscards]

@@skybcards just a base rookie i believe. You pulled it in your last topps vid

[@T-mansportscards]

Not actually a rookie. Just a regular base pitcher for the Reds

[@PatCollx]

Everyone is so thirsty for likes, just enjoy this banger video from our boy skyB!!

[@skybcards]

Appreciate that a ton bro💪

[@WackySports-go6tm]

Not a terrible rip but still I’ll probably stay away from optic but as always great vid ❤

[@skybcards]

I wouldn't buy more personally either

[@christcantdrown1165]

I pulled a Cason Wallace blue glitter

[@tocards7184]

The #d glitter Wembys are way bigger cards than anything you can pull in platinum or bowman retail no?

[@skybcards]

Heck no lol

[@skybcards]

#'d glitter wembys are big cards but baseball retail offers 1/1's, 1/1 autos, all kinds of crazy stuff. Topps also has rights to Wemby autos which can be pulled in Series 2 baseball

[@tocards7184]

@@skybcards “anything you can pull” was poor wording. I agree Topps usually clears when it comes to chances at big hits but I think Panini did what they could to close that gap this year specifically with retail basketball. The red glitters out of these do $2,500 plus the green/purple pulsars, white ice, etc. Hate to defend them but I think they earned it for once 😂

[@alfredsviews7242]

Morning brother hope all is well 🙏

[@ighoutdoorssports1492]

Oh and loved the video! Kept the complaining at a minimum! It makes for such an enjoyable and fun video to watch
