Good Morning Everyone! Retail Donruss Football Blaster boxes actually have more value than I initially expected. They seem to have a high floor with the amount of rated rookies you get per box and a very high ceiling with the Crunch Times, Rated Rookie Optic Previews, and of course the Downtowns!
Would be nice if they started adding Isiah Pacheco, the rookie RB on the Chiefs. 7th rounder that took the starting job and had some great plays during the Super Bowl. Only RC he has are from Xr, Rookie & Stars and Elite.
Think I’m passing on Donruss even though I was initially excited for it. Seems like more quantity than quality. Ordered a couple Zenith blasters with guaranteed hits and am looking forward to Phoenix Wednesday!
i dont blame you at all, these are like absolute retail but a higher floor. fun rip if you are looking for something cheap! i have only heard awesome things about the zenith blasters. Im really excited for those! I have the break scheduled for Thursday, I wanted to make sure the boxes got here in time so im going to do it the day after release day
I've been really fortunate opening these blaster boxes I've probably opened about fourteen of them and I got to downtown's one Kurt Warner and one Russell Wilson
i agree with you on the santa downtown.. if for a holiday season set, wouldve been a cooler concept to have players in a uniform that resembled santas suit but in their team colors that wouldve kept the football concept. thats just my take on what wouldve been cool to see
I had some of the 90 pro set Santa’s as a kid. Wouldn’t mind getting a Santa downtown. I got some of these from target as well. Not bad for the price, much better than the hobby box price.
Exactly these blasters are much easier to stomach price wise than the hobby box. And to be honest i got more value out of my boxes at $100 less than a hobby box
donruss zenith and rookies and stars blasters all dropped recently. got my donruss blasters coming in soon but walmart delayed my zenith boxes until further notice
The inserts are great but too much base in my opinion. Will probably stay away from blasters but may pick up some value packs if they release them. Thanks for sharing with us!
Do you guys think I should buy some 2022 donruss or stick with 21? I feel like 21 has the higher ceiling for rookie qbs but please correct me if I’m wrong
2021 is great but its already starting to get pricey with Tlaw emerging as the talent he was promised to be. 2022 is at least still lower cost right now
I think a good way to entice people into newer sets is also traded players in updated uniforms. Christian McCaffrey for example. Most sets have him in the Panthers uniform, but I've seen him in Zenith and Rookies & Stars in a 49ers uniform which many 49ers fans will be excited to get their hands on. Then maybe having Purdy game photos instead of practice jersey too. Good vid. Have a couple blasters of Donruss on the way as well but not expecting to get rich on these lol.
i agree, the good thing about these sets coming out a little later is that panini now has the freedom to swap jersey photographs or add different pictures to the print run!
💯 agree about Absolute. Our wal mart here usually has zero cards on the shelf, but I left Absolute sitting the other day even though it was the only product because it’s just not good lol Even with Donruss having so much base, the inserts are so much better and of course Rated Rookies are always hot!
I ordered 1 blaster Donruss box to try my luck on Downtown . :-) That is it. I bought 1 Absolute Box 25$ before for Kaboom. Very much like Lottery Ticket :-)
People are sleeping on Donruss retail, but I think it’s a great product. I like the inserts, rated rookies, and downtowns of course. I’m thinking my box was pretty good with the crunch time and optic rated rookies preview. You had some solid blasters too with the points and some good rookie inserts. It’s a fun rip, and pretty good value wise in my opinion.
Given that I was collecting back in 91/92 and do remember the Santa SPs fondly, I'm ok with the Downtown version. However, if I pulled one I'd likely sell or trade it for an actual NFL player I PC. Thanks for a nice review as always. I've got 3 of these that were delivered yesterday I'm looking forward to opening 😀
@@AcmePacks I opened a few donrus packs recently pulled a purple optic 14/50 Desmond ridder is the best I got out of them. But I will try the mosaic box, recommend the hangers too?
Santa downtown is kind of like a Pokémon to me investment wise. The big risk with buying sports rookie cards is they can get hurt. Santa can’t get hurt. Only way value goes down is if it loses popularity which doesn’t look like will happen. The Santa DT is the only reason I’ll buy some Donruss for the very first time in my life.
that's actually a great way of thinking about it, great input! This is why i always ask for everyone's thoughts because i get comments like this that make me look at it a different way than how I would approach something!
I had very mixed emotions about these, but I did pull a crunch time Drew Brees. Overall for $25 it’s solid, looking forward to seeing more about zenith though.
I think these are much better than people give them credit for. A fun rip at the same price as absolute and illusions with a higher floor and comparable ceiling. Im still waiting for my zenith to come in they got delayed
@@AcmePacks Mine also got delayed, but for the price Donruss is still a pretty enjoyable rip. I just wish I had more rookies I was looking for, I opened three blasters and pulled everyone I really wanted beside Watson. But still enjoyable nonetheless
Absolutely nuts haha 😂 im telling you it has to be nostalgia collectors of the old 90’s pro set santa. Cool card but if i ever pulled one im selling it immediately to fund other cards
$150 haha not $1500. And some times you do sometimes you dont. If i sold every single card that i pulled here today thought i would most likely get my money back. But thats not the case with every set

Nothing better in the morning than crunch time cereal
Prolly will get some
Just bought two boxes tonight ima hope to get a downtown
Just got a Garrett Wilson RC Downtown with my first ever donruss blaster box purchased!!
@@cocosic4660 nice I didnt get anything but kyler murray patch and sauce gardner canvas rated rookie
Don’t forget to look on the back for Aqueous Test cards, and the players middle names are also on the front of the card. Thanks for the great videos.
yessir! i'm looking through them all right now!
Would be nice if they started adding Isiah Pacheco, the rookie RB on the Chiefs. 7th rounder that took the starting job and had some great plays during the Super Bowl. Only RC he has are from Xr, Rookie & Stars and Elite.
They need too. Hes not in enough sets for how good he was this season
@@AcmePacksI actually see it as a good thing should keep his card values up.

I've been really fortunate opening these blaster boxes I've probably opened about fourteen of them and I got to downtown's one Kurt Warner and one Russell Wilson
Thats awesome! Congrats!!
Got a crunch time, and Sean Taylor downtown in the same box.
Wow thats awesome! Congrats!!

Im fine with those types of cards but if im opening football i want football cards haha not a santa 😂
I bought 3 Blaster Boxes and pulled a Downtown in the 2nd box.
thats awesome! congrats!
The fact that you give estimates value makes me instantly subscribe to you ! Love the content
Thank you! doing my best to give you guys the most accurate information on these cards!
Grabbed 2 off target I love donruss because of how iconic it is and the downtown hunt! The broncos have 2 downtowns in this set very excited!
Lets gooo!! I hope you pull some fire!

my zenith blasters got delayed too, i was really hoping to rip those this weekend
I pulled a downtown out a hanger pack
Thats awesome! Congrats!!

Youre welcome! I was be careful with value packs though! Last year they were brutal

Do you have any idea of what the odds are for pulling a downtown out of a blaster? Are they posted anywhere?
The only thing i could go off of would be a that its a case hit and a case of blasters in normally 20 so i would have to say 1/20 boxes
💯 agree about Absolute. Our wal mart here usually has zero cards on the shelf, but I left Absolute sitting the other day even though it was the only product because it’s just not good lol Even with Donruss having so much base, the inserts are so much better and of course Rated Rookies are always hot!
agreed! pick these up over absolute every time and it's not even close
I was on the cusp of getting a case of these but now idk thanks for the review
i had really poor luck with these but a case should net you a downtown!
My 3 blasters from target yielded a optic preview, not a big name that I can recall right now, and a production line patty mahommes #’d to 50!
Sounds like you did pretty well! Congrats!
I ordered 1 blaster Donruss box to try my luck on Downtown . :-) That is it. I bought 1 Absolute Box 25$ before for Kaboom. Very much like Lottery Ticket :-)
love that! goodluck!
Are you going to do zenith blasters? I’m really looking forward to those.
Yessir!! They were supposed to be delivered yesterday but got delayed 😭 i really wanted those to be todays video
@@AcmePacks what’s the price point on those?
Love the Crunch Times cards! Thanks for the review as always!
im sad i didnt hit one! they look awesome!
Enjoyed this & subscribed. Went ahead & picked some up on the Target app. What kind of penny sleeve are you using here? Really like them!
Thank you! and I use Cardshellz for my sleeves and toploaders! If you use the code ACMEPACKS it will give you $10 off your first order of $50 or more!
What is the three card stacks and how much money did you spend and how much did you make back??
$25 per blast dont remember what i sold everything for
some of this year's inserts look nice! But still I feel I like last year's base design more than this year's. Thanks for sharing as always.
i agree with you im not sold on the whole 3D look yet
Opened 3 blasters and wish the base was not included
yeah theres way too much base in my opinion but donruss has always been that way
On my way to check my local Walmart and target now :). Thanks again for the content man!
goodluck!!!! I hope you are able to score some!
These blasters remind me of the 2023 Topps series 1 baseball, alot of commons but really nothing else.
Too many commons in these!
15:20 Sauce Gardner has left the chat
oh my god haha i had a total lapse there 😅
But the greatest but I always like getting the top rookies in their Donruss base. I’m all for the Santa Downtown. I’d be happy to pull any Downtown.
downtowns seem extremely hard to pull, i've only seen 1 hit so far
People are sleeping on Donruss retail, but I think it’s a great product. I like the inserts, rated rookies, and downtowns of course. I’m thinking my box was pretty good with the crunch time and optic rated rookies preview. You had some solid blasters too with the points and some good rookie inserts. It’s a fun rip, and pretty good value wise in my opinion.
Also, I think I’ll grab the Lions in that break if I’m quick enough!
its a fun rip at a decent cost with a higher floor and ceiling than most other products! totally agree with you
the break spots are going live tonight at 7pm CT!
Given that I was collecting back in 91/92 and do remember the Santa SPs fondly, I'm ok with the Downtown version. However, if I pulled one I'd likely sell or trade it for an actual NFL player I PC. Thanks for a nice review as always. I've got 3 of these that were delivered yesterday I'm looking forward to opening 😀
Totally agree with you if i pulled that i would immediately sell it for players i want to collect. Goodluck on your boxes!
Really love donruss and am excited for the phoenix break! Do you think it will happen soon because I am very hyped!
i have it scheduled for next thursday night! spots go on sale tonight at 7pm ct!
I went to your website and was unable to figure out how to get into the new break. Could you help me out please.
It is going for sale at 7pm tonight!
I'm just getting back into the hobby what is the best blaster to buy in your opinion?
I would say mosaic football or donruss football right now! I have also heard Zenith retail is really good!
@@AcmePacks I opened a few donrus packs recently pulled a purple optic 14/50 Desmond ridder is the best I got out of them. But I will try the mosaic box, recommend the hangers too?
@@joshmurphy9198 i had my best luck out of the blasters this year but i know others swear by the hangers being the best
I pulled a aaron rodgers crunch time is that worth anything
Probably a good amount! Those crunch times are rare! If you go to ebay and check sold items you can find out what its worth!
Hahaha, you pulled more Commanders and Hutchinson rookies! Maybe in Michigan I'll pull a bunch of Christian Watson and a random cross-country team. 😉
Hahahhaa i just keep hitting them!
I need the Picket 🤣,
I still haven't sent anything...
Shyts been f..... Up n buzy.
Haha crazy busy on my end too!
Really enjoyed the Product, like the set, may pick it up
at a lower price than other blasters too!
Nice rip bro ! Congrats and thanks for sharing ✌️
Thanks for watching!
Nice rip as always! Love to see al the Rated Rookies!
these have a much higher floor because of those rated rookies! they will always hold their value or appreciate!

Great view of the product. Nice vid!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video as always! I think I wouldn't be too upset if I hit the Santa Downtown after you mentioned he price 😂
its at $2k now haha 😂 i would sell that in a heartbeat to fund some Rodgers autos
What penny sleeves are you using in this video? It's not the ones you have linked in the bio.
The penny sleeves are cardshellz! I have a link for $10 off a $50 purchaese in the details!
I think the Santa Downtown would be cool to hit but there is no way in hell i'm paying for one let alone a G for one . Thanks for the preview .
apparently they are up to $2k now haha thats crazy!
What in ur opinion is the best blaster of 2022?
Mosaic!
I had very mixed emotions about these, but I did pull a crunch time Drew Brees. Overall for $25 it’s solid, looking forward to seeing more about zenith though.

Absolutely nuts haha 😂 im telling you it has to be nostalgia collectors of the old 90’s pro set santa. Cool card but if i ever pulled one im selling it immediately to fund other cards
First, thanks for sharing. I know people get these to do Downtown Hunting! Good Luck and watching video now!
the DT chase is fun!
I agree Absolute rookies are a dime a dozen. It's actually hard to pull a good Rated Rookie. Look at Mahomes and Allen comps. Donruss is a good hold.
yessir like you said rated rookies actually hold their value and increase over time. gotta love the classics
Allen and Mahomes were pre-boom. It’s hard to imagine any current base cards coming even close to sniffing that value with current production rates.
I think I’m going to let this one pass looks very dry especially for 6 boxes, more excited for the phoenix blaster
Phoenix is normally hobby exclusive
damn, seven months ago it’s $25 apiece now they’re like $50 that’s crazy
Where is everyone picking these blasters from?
Online from target!
thanks! this helped aton!
youre welcome!
Wasn’t DROY sauce?
Yes it was i had a total lapse on that comment 😅
@@AcmePacks it’s ok your good I thought I missed something
I’m still waiting for optic and prizm.
Prizm supposedly comes out in like 2 weeks!
Do you make your money back cuz it’s like 1500 bucks for 6 boxes?
$150 haha not $1500. And some times you do sometimes you dont. If i sold every single card that i pulled here today thought i would most likely get my money back. But thats not the case with every set

Just opened 2 boxes for the fun of it and got 1 Brock purdy base rookie card 😐 paid 40$ each. Terrible lol
it can be tough some times
Hang on to all those Kenneth walkers !
he's going to be a star!! he would have won OROY if not for the few games he had to miss
In my opinion buying these are stupid might as well wait for optic
hey to each their own! personally i like them but others can always feel differently!
@@AcmePacks ya I think donruss has always been good but this year I just don’t reallly like it so I’m just waiting for optic

Jesus is coming back soon!
Not a fan of Donruss this year. Opened 4 retail blasters and its just a card collection of bases.
I dont blame you. I think its better than absolute football but not by much. At least the rated rookies hold their value better

Unfortunately feels like another case hit or bust type of product 😢
yes and no. The DT's are what you are looking for but the crunch times among other things can alsso pay for multipled boxes
