I feel your pain. I hit 4 Walmarts and 2 Targets. We have guys lining up at the Wallyworld doors at 5am and all 20 megas sold 7 minutes after doors open. The two stores that had restocks both got bought out by a single person. I ended up buying 50 packs and got smashed $700 later. I'm over optic for a minute. Feels like chasing for a willy Wonka golden ticket.

[@PatTheRipper]

I noticed what looks like fraying at the bottom of some cards. Perhaps the cutting blade was going dull.

[@RetailRipper]

Was hoping for better results. Idk why these are selling so high, secondary. People wild.

[@skybcards]

Yeah man I'd rather pay resale for the blasters than these, the mega boxes are just garbage

[@realKevinRichter]

“Chance” at a Downtown! or an Orange Scope CJ Stroud. Gonna be BIG money cards when they’re pulled. But I agree, way overpriced on the secondary market for sure!

[@DC-lu3ii]

It's obviously because people were pulling a ton last year. Panini pulled it back on the hits and rhe price skyrocketed due to the success of last year.

[@cantstopwontstopcards]

Some people who don’t buy as much refer to mega boxes as booster boxes. And I think they actually think there is better odds bc it’s a bigger box.. panini gonna panini

[@ryanmcguire2578]

Bought 4 megas and pulled Stroud downtown

[@chrisjohnson3086]

Downtowns are SIGNIFICANTLY harder this year. I’ve ripped probably 40+ megas, 40+ blasters, and maybe ~20+ value packs and not a single downtown. I’ve pulled four mythicals though and probably 5 CJ holos and 6 CJ color exclusives and several inserts. A gold Jersey patch /10 of Schoonmaker. FWIW

[@R-A-N1988]

Thank you for your breaks!!! I depend on your opinions about so many of these products. I can’t afford may hobby box’s so I buy retail based on your reviews. I have noticed that panini front loads their box’s to be really loaded when the first wave hits and then after a week or two their box’s and packs are weaker. Have you ever thought that?

[@skybcards]

I appreciate that and glad you're enjoying the content bro💪 but yeah that's what topps and Panini has always done in my opinion

[@xavierwren0212]

Amazing cards here! I have really become hooked on hunting for Sam LaPorta Rookie cards and inserts lately, everything about him looks so promising for the future of his career! If he plays like he did in his Rookie season he will definitely be a future hall of famer no doubt!

[@MadeInTheShadeMedia]

Why wouldn’t you just buy a stroud rookie lmao fuckin brain dead

[@mr.rager_the_1st728]

Just go buy his stuff. Don't waste your time and money hunting especially if it's for 1 specific player.

[@jjbutler6828]

Was able to grab 6 of these this week at Walmart. Pulled a Downtown Saquan, CJ holo, AR Blue Hyper, and Russel Wilson rocket.

[@reddboneRIPS]

Same I found 4 megas, 2 were trash but one had namath downtown and the other box had the green pulsar AR and halo cj in same box

[@SupaZzZ]

How do I know if cards ar3 good because I'm getting my first football card pack today

[@Earl_Poole]

Bro, we get it. We've all been there. Positivity is hard to fake man, and you're a real one!

[@derekwebber4083]

Wow. That was a brutal rip. Appreciate you hanging through there B.

[@chrishoffman9621]

I'm almost positive every time you pull a Darnell Washington, CJ usually follows in the very next pack. If the Darnell is base the CJ will be base as well as HOLO and any other other types.

[@chrisjohnson3086]

Yes he follows DW.

[@Noatheboah]

I opened one box and got a Sroud blue hyper that was my biggest pull from retail and I was flipping out

[@EpicD18sportzcards]

Hey man I know you might not see this but I just wanted to thank you for getting me into the hobby of collect sports cards and I also wanted to tell you that your videos are amazing and to keep it up.

[@Ebainbridge26]

Almost spent $20 on an optic fat pack tonight because it was the first optic product that I’ve seen in a while. Went back and looked at your review on optic fat packs… saved myself $20.

[@DudeYourDad]

Man don’t listen to the haters. They’re just trolling you. You do a great job! Only critique would be to somehow cut down on the package noise. Starts to grind ya after that many breaks 😂

[@gggriz9435]

I think it depends on the case. We bought an entire sealed case and did really well. The down town we pulled once graded will pay for the case

[@randalllenoir5853]

It’s so hard to find any boxes in our area. We also have to drive an hour to our closest LCS.

[@bstraw53]

Just saw 20 of these on the shelf at Walmart.. thought long and hard but decided to leave them. Prices are out of control.

[@B1Gr3d.0]

I started collecting a sports cards few years ago but gave up on it it’s to expensive and never get any hits unless you spend

[@omnione12]

Hmmmmmmmmmm, some of those orange scopes shouldnt have been made IMO, but thank you for taking the hit for us.

[@rickbouse2840]

It's not complaining if it true. To spend that kinda money and get those results is crazy. Panini needs to spread the love a little. Then if yo do happen to hit an autograph it's usually just initials.

[@AsherEngle]

That pull was ok optic is a hard product stay strong brotha 💪 💪💪 🔥🔥🔥

[@FitnessLife247]

Opened a box this morning at Walmart, nothing but print lines on half the cards. CJ Silver Print lines from top to bottom. One and only box I’ll buy lol

[@skybcards]

Yeah don't blame you bro i think they're overrated

[@gregwilliams855]

Damn. That sucks but sounds right on brand for Panini.

[@creekwater576]

Boycott

[@hotjoe817]

Quality Control is brutal, can’t wait for fanatics to take over in a couple yrs, time for a change and hopefully better prices

[@gregwilliams855]

@@hotjoe817 I don't know about the better prices tho. Fanatics is asking for $39.99 for 2024 Topps Chrome Baseball 24 card count blasters and $60.00 for 48 card mega boxes.

[@masontaylor9934]

Pulled a downtown Joe Burrow this morning! Not sure how to find a price on it and am also new to collecting. Love your content!

[@RainStryke]

That Will Levis hyper looks good to grade. That Mahomes and Kelce best tuddys is my favorite of the rip. Hope ya get better luck on the next rip! Feels like the baseball rips have been providing pretty well.

[@joshcoffey5254]

I bought one Walmart mega and pulled a Mahomes downtown, Tyler Scott rookie auto and AR 15 my pose halo. There was no damage on my cards.

[@skybcards]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@skybcards]

That's what it's all about congrats bro

[@LewishamiltonGOAT9]

what days do targets and Walmarts restock usually, I can never find anything

[@That-kidsprods_]

I think Monday and Thursdays

[@LewishamiltonGOAT9]

@@That-kidsprods_ are the cards there right when store opens

[@LewishamiltonGOAT9]

Or should you show up a bit later in the day, sorry new to this lol

[@gagebrosius1319]

I swear those look like every mega box I’ve ever bought. Tough goin out here. Thanks for the rip!

[@LittleGiantscards]

Yo you notice all the hypers have print lines? Every single purple shock and these hypers I pulled have lines… not sure how they will grade… mad annoying. Great rip

[@svang7220]

That was rough to watch. Thanks for sharing though. Will probably stay from mega boxes after watching this lol

[@MadeInTheShadeMedia]

What were you expecting? Him to hit a stroud in every box? Then you could go out and buy boxes and get your own strouds in every box? 🤣

[@M.L.Anobody]

Thank you so much for opening these! Your channel has helped me determine which product lines I’ll like best (mostly the design) since there’s so much!

[@FFMCardsandMore]

That was a painful rip. I have seen some good come out of those, but it is super tough not getting really anything out of 12.

[@urlocalweirdo6664]

The blasters aren’t garbage i”d say they are better than the mega boxes Good vid❤

The blasters are 1,000,000% better than a Mega boxes

Out of curiosity, what do you, or other breakers do with the countless amounts of common cards you pull from all these different boxes/sets?

I also do cheap repacks for kids w mix base parrell and rc's sell them at the bowling alley I manage

[@AsherEngle]

Love you skyb never give up!

[@KyleDeaton-z2d]

Havent seen any megas in a 50 mile radius of where i live. They had blasters at my local Walmart when they first came out but they were gone in 5 seconds cause a guy bought like the 30 they had on the shelf. Luckily he let me get a couple before he took the rest. Havent seen aby of them since.

[@KiwiSolos]

Unlike the football the basketball megas are better in my opinion. I opened one today and pulled a Victor rated rookie, Brandon miller rated rookie, and a green hyper auto.

[@IanGraysonJacob]

Yo, how did you get your hands on optic football I can never go to meijer, target, or Walmart where they had a restock when I went What time does your stores restock? Btw what a video, all I want to rip is optic football and I can’t get my hands on it sadly

[@skybcards]

I put in a ton of time to find these haha it's alll about checking the stores

[@IanGraysonJacob]

@@skybcards k, which store did you find them at? Even the blaster are hard to find

[@chriscanter3882]

Really Appreciate the dedication reviewing everything brother, bad as this sounds I know to stay away from optic megas now thanks to your sacrifice, and it is very appreciated. Its not easy to blow roughly $1,200 up in smoke like that, So I appreciate the Channel and Grind Bro!!!

[@Sagebig34]

I just did my first PSA of Kenny Pickett 2022 Wild Card Matte White what u think be worth if is PSA 10???

[@Deserteagle29]

Just because optic has legacy value and one of the bigger insert chases, doesn't mean wading through all the garbage is fun... especially at these prices. When I drop decent $$$ for retail, then proceed to get skunked, it doesn't make me feel great...

[@derekbell9610]

Do you think collectors prefer the blue or green parallel?

[@masonmatthews1226]

Just got lucky and ordered some optic basketball on target website. Still haven’t found football in the wild or on website. 😢

[@PatTheRipper]

i just found 4 at target. Im happy I found some but I'm nervous to rip 😂

[@josesantiago9723]

I am a great fan when I see you doing this I think you're an awesome person and this is the couple time I see you here

[@davidwarren5530]

This just makes me look forward to select retail even more, at least those give us numbered card potential including those gold die cuts /10

[@skybcards]

I need to pull a CJ jersey number Gold die cut just like Kenny Pickett last year

[@huntermurdock6885]

I've found two boxes all year. Definitely rare to find

[@joecaplan739]

I did win a Will Levis downtown in a break but that was super lucky. Every optic I’ve opened I’ve gotten junk!!

[@skybcards]

Congrats bro!!🔥

[@XylonGaravito]

Brutal wax pull for the $. Always fun watching you pull and go through all the emotions. Your a glutton for punishment with those optic mega boxes. Thanks for the entertainment sorry you didn’t get any huge bangers.

[@RNG_Brosive]

i opened one optic blaster and got an autograph

[@lavishdragoon4291]

I’ve opened up many optic blasters and haven’t gotten anything :(

[@rickschramski548]

Feel for you Sir...... But thank you for creating great content. Look forward to your next video, and especially you pulling some 🔥

[@Prtxsports]

The mark up on these are insane

[@jwredsfan]

Thank you so much for this awesome rip CW! The ava Gardner relic was nice. But was hoping for a wally moon unibrow relic!

[@jacobmueller6030]

Also, Packer fan here. They (HOPEFULLY) plan on running 12 personnel with the tight end group. Definitely scary with all the weapons they already have!

[@skybcards]

So many young weapons... all on rookie contracts to, the packers will be good for at least 5 more years sadly🤣 (lions fan here)

[@Josh-hm4pj]

Ive pulled more hits out of 4 blasters than the 4 Megas I ripped.All jersey cards of course lmao.Should say "1 mem or 2 mems on average"on the box lol,I had 2 mems in a mega.The mark at the bottom is from the rollers when they print them,great QC as always.Thanks for the rip Sky,better pulls ahead hommie!

[@Collectibles4Sale2Day]

Rough beats brotha. For almost an $800 rip you probably got $300 back in cards. Blue Hypers much nicer than the greens, but the megaboxes are dusty af. Thanks as always for the rip!👊🍻

[@skybcards]

$300 is being supppper generous hahah

[@derekkilduff1631]

Wow, what a beating!! This is exactly what you DON'T DO!! You see a full stock of Megas, buy 1 or 2!! Don' clear them!! Spent over $720 and best card is a $10 card Brutal.

[@GHOSTDOG504]

Facts 🫨🫨🫨🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

[@skybcards]

Can't win em all🤷‍♂️

[@s.macintosh-jc9rf]

Hi Sky, Thanks for your rip of the Optic Megaboxes. I must say that I was very disappointed in this product. In the past the Megas have been such a blessing but this time not so much. Lazing away in Marguaritaville here. I think that you would like it here. I know you have the National coming up and I will live vicariously through you! The resale value of these Megas is indecent! Take care my friend and keep cool 😎! Much love, Peter

[@Ron-H30]

Is it possible that your buying left over boxes after people crack cases for the case hit & bigger blue RC's ??? Maybe they buy full cases .... Open until a couple big cards pop out & sell the remaining cards.... Real painful to watch - but thanks for sharing -im better off waiting for a single hobby box, I think this year.

[@skybcards]

I bought them in store so it would have to be the distributors doing that sort of dirty thing if it is happening

[@skybcards]

You could be right though

[@jamessiposii6094]

Ive been lucky I've found megas and blasters in the wild i bought 1 if each 1 DT Sequon Barkley and a Herbert Blazers

[@gullomic]

Does your shop have a huge selection of singles im guessing

[@skybcards]

Tons

[@SLLCards]

MAN..... for the resale price these folks are charging it make the rips very difficult to do and stomach the results. I am hoping for better results going into the new season.

All right, you have the luck. It was nice. I had a little too had a downtown from last year‘s optic.

I would definitely go with the blasters

[@TombradygronkutopicBucca-tl2zl]

I managed to find 2 of these I’m so blessed

if you sell your cards, its better to have duplicates than to have only one of each card. then someone buys one, and a few hours later another person buys the second one.

[@alexshoudy9189]

I still haven't found optic in the wild yet this year.

[@charliesolis8681]

Dude. Absolutely brutal rip. The 3 megas I’ve found were equally as bad. Bijan holo was my best pull. I did pull a Quentin Johnston holo auto in one of the 3 blasters I found. Yay 🙄
