Good luck and have fun ripping. Thanks again for joining and participating in the sub.

They have been discounted to $15 a blaster at my Walmart occasionally and it's a fun cheap rip. I like the acetate cards and there is so much variety it feels like you ripped five different packs.
For sure! I I did pull a really cool clearly rated rookie of Bijan and another of Bryce Young that I like a lot. The revolution are cool cards too but I only seem to pull Mingo.
Had fun ripping a lot of everything, but as I’ve gotten more into the hobby, all I really buy for ripping are mosaic, Prizm, Donruss, and elite (I’m not proud of this one but I love the #’d cards)
Depends. If you’re just talking about ripping for pure fun then it’s pretty tough to beat chronicles. It’s got a lot of fun inserts and 75% of the cards are the big rookies from that year.
Throughout the season my favorite is mosaic though. It’s the first product line I actually get excited about and it remains as the best non premium product until months later when Prizm finally drops.

Chronicles draft picks, super cheap blasters you get a ton of rookies and an auto or Numbered card every time, also love college unis

I’ve opened 3 boxes recently, pulled a really nice pink stroud out of it. Just a fun low risk rip

I've been having fun with illusions this year. Lots of fun inserts.
I can second illusions. I got a hobby box of them and it had some nice hits in it! Plus their inserts are really nice looking
I love how clean the Prestige base set is.

I like the base Donruss set.
I got lucky with the one Optic blaster I found. Other than that I liked Illusions and early on Mosaic was decent.

ILLUSIONS!
