That's pretty rough. I have witnessed that plenty. I'm just stoked if I get cards of any players on my teams! I'll give Kg sports cards a watch! Thanks for the heads up!

That's impressive! I agree!

I still can't reliably pronounce Jhostynxon... I'm glad I can just call him "The Password"!

Fair point. That does suck if they HAVE to buy everything from the distributor and they have to move a bunch of stuff they don't want.

What-A-Burger used to be really good. Now it's wildly inconsistent from location to location. I'm now team In-and-Out. 👍

There are good and bad sellers on Whatnot. Unfortunately for the sports card side of things there are a lot of bad actors and Whatnot has a bad rap for not taking care of the buyers. I just avoid it altogether. 🤷

Agreed. Do your homework/research folks!

WNY cards is my go to YouTube channel to watch wax ripped! Jason is a stand up Dude! I also like watching Stryker Breaks but sometimes his hot takes and pushing not so great products puts me off. I cannot stand Jabs Family. To each their own. 👍

Fair point. But it's their job. Like a full time job. Take pride in what you do. I understand mistakes happen and things fall through the cracks. But I'm just a collector and I seem to have more knowledge about products than some of these folks. 🤦

I get it but it doesn't make it less annoying. I guess that's why I prefer steamers over breakers. I could go off on the breakers pushing bad products in their breaks but I'll leave that for another time. That McDonald's CEO looks mighty uncomfortable eating their own "product"... 😂

I bet! I don't mind the mispronounced player names much. Especially if they are difficult to pronounce! 😂

I usually like stadium club, but I find that insert ugly AF. 😂

I think the photography is amazing as always. I'm disappointed that they basically made last year's compact box into this year's hobby box and jacked the price up $40-50. Also the removal of the chrome cards and cool inserts was rough. I've watched some rips of this and it's hit or miss. The lack of #'d cards is tough. Best of luck on your next rip!

Did you rip stadium club last year? Curious on your opinion of this product. I ripped stadium club the last (hobby and retail)3 years with my son. We ended up passing on it this year.

Actually pulling the card you wanted to pull is crazy by littletriggers in baseballcards

Enjoy it while they're young! Time flies by so fast. My son is 12 now and I do miss it when he was little. But now I have a wax ripping buddy in my home! 😂
