An above average rip with. Nice SSP pulled as well. Still have a hobby that will arrive Friday. Overall, not a bad rip.

Here’s the hits including a nice SSP. Not bad I’d say. The hobby arrives on Friday.

And she's thiccc! A /25 Exquisite Collection I pulled via redemption from 2026 Goodwin Champions. I was lucky enough to find the hobby for $149 at a GameStop when hobby shops were selling the same hobby for $300 plus. Now I've got to pick up a one touch for it.

Pages 1 & 2 came from the Jumbo. 3 & 4 are Hobby. 5 is from the 2 Value Boxes. Not bad I'd say especially with hitting anything from the Value. The Shadow Etch and Ink Strokes are very nice. The Wild Style gives me Topps Finest vibes with 2000's motif which isn't too bad honestly.

Just did a car rip of some pickups from Books-a-million. Found. Revolution Mega and two UCC hangers. This is my second Kaboom this year. I’ve only ever bought a total of three mega boxes of regulation. Pulled a Jayson Tatum Kaboom that graded a 10 and eventually sold. Sometimes I wish I kept it for the portfolio but oh well. It helped get a Trevor Lawrence auto I really wanted so that’s a win. Also ripped a hobby extended series hockey last night and got a young guns acetate which is an SSP along with a young guns canvas.

There was a lone extended series hobby for $149 USD at my local game stop. Managed to these beauties including the clear cut. Also got an acetate of Anthony Mantha.

Bit of a long shot but I'm working on completing rainbow of the 2025-26 Bowman U Best Basketball Robert McCray V Game Graphs patch auto card. I've managed to get most of the set completed (Superfractor, 1/2 Brand Patch, 1/5 Red, 15/25 Orange, 5/50 Gold, and 15/75 Yellow).

I'm down to two more to find not counting the remaining /2 special patches (Brand Tag and Conference) which is the base refractor patch and the /10 Black. I'm currently watching an auction for the refractor so the real hunt at this point is for the /10. So I'm reaching out to the wider community to possibly help find the /10 in either the 1/10 or the 5/10. There's also a chance it hasn't been pulled yet but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. Any leads would be appreciated.

I’ve done extremely well for my hobby pulls. Won the hobby off of an EQL drop on fanatics at the original price when these came out. Got it delivered yesterday and managed these three autos in back-to-back-back packs. Makes up for the high numbered cards I got. Very happy with this box.

Decided to buy the 2025-26 Fleer Ultra Box on e-Pack and hit this beauty.

I've really been enjoying the e-Pack rips. Wish they'd add SP Signature Edition at some point but I don't see that happening.

I mainly get my hocky cards through the occasional break and now lately e-Packs. This might be my best pull yet from this morning.

Used my buy back cards to pick up a couple of hobby boxes from my LCS. Decided on the last exalted they had and 25/26 Bowman’s Best U. I think for my first exalted I did pretty good.

Took 40 business day on an express submission banking on it arriving during the playoffs. May have arrived a little late but happy it's here! Followed general advice and went for an authentication instead of grading. Also edited out the cert and barcode. Mostly because it seems to be a trend even though this will be easy to find lol. This is my first pack pulled 1/1 from the Collector's Kit. Nice little fact, the Topps Chrome packs in it are from value boxes.

Pulled back-to-back golds from back-to-back hangers. This whole set has had some good looking cards.

And decided to try a slightly older set. Went with 24-25 Prizm EPL Choice. I’m really loving the cherry blossom parallels that I managed to get out of back to back boxes. Overall this was a pretty good and fun experience for a soccer hobby box.

Bought 3 boosters on a whim, 1 at a time to rip for fun after opening a mega box of WNBA cards, and pulled these three. Meowth was pack #1. The first Clefairy came out of pack #2. I joked around with the GameStop employee about how funny it would be to pull an another one. Lo and behold, a second Clefairy appeared in pack #3. To add to the twin-sanity, both Clefairies were preceded by twin holo Luxrays. The looked really good alignment-wise on the front with no flaws in the light and no edge damage. Only real kicker was the back be oh so slightly askew on both to the exact same degree. Sent them off to grade right there in the store anyway. Not bad for 3 packs just to see what it was like.
