Repacks are popular because panini boxes are trash 95/100 times
correct, exactly what i said in this video. people are sick of getting hosed by hobby boxes and losing 75% of the money they put into it.
I need to find some good repacks too. I like them for content and fun. Everyone knows you’re not gonna win consistently but after getting hammered on absolute and Prizm ROI consistently it makes these look more rewarding. Ceiling not as high but your a lot more likely to get at least 50% back from the looks of it than any recent panini release 🤷♂️
exactly my point! and of course with these, just like any product, you are paying for the packaging and the time and effort they are putting into making a product like this. It was a fun rip at a solid price I think i would do these again.
If done right, it can be fun, especially if you're looking to just collect random cards for a cheap price. It's really up to us to eliminate the bad repacks though and call them out and help the good repackers to a brighter light. It's the best way to make bad repackers lose money until they do better or just stop.
100% agree. I actually like repacks but they have to be done right and those that dont shouldnt be bought from
I guess if I was to buy a repack I would do some research on who is putting it out. There are so many fly by night cash grabbers out there taking advantage of the hobby.
Very true. Very very true. There are also some good ones though. I have experience with Never Lewz and their Project Enigma line. I have purchased and got into breaks for their Yetis, Krakens, and their new Legends line, and overall, I have been extremely pleased.
If you set up at a sports card show and you put all of the cards from this video on the table for sale and marked them at the current fair market value, how many of these cards would actually sell? Would there be at least one collector looking for anything in this video?
I think the only cards with a chance to sell would be that red ice Tua you got and the Prizm Silver PSA 10 Dak. Everything else would eventually go into your $20 slab box on your table and the first person to offer $15 for each you would sell.
I'm not a fan of the repack sports card product, it's just a way for companies to dump cards that they can't sell.
i honestly disagree. value slabs definitely have their place in the hobby and just because they arent valuable to you doesnt mean they wont be to someone else. but i definitely see youre point
Tbh i kinda agree with him on this no one is actually actively searching for any of these cards outside the dak and tua card the rest are kinda trash cards @AcmePacks
I like repacks because it provides competition on the secondary market. You can sell your stuff at a show and get 90%+ comps rather than 70% lowball offers.
$150 back on avg from opening an absolute hobby box? If you don’t pull a kaboom you’re lucky to recoup $50
If repacks are hot with Backyard Breaks, and they aren’t coming out of loaded boxes, I avoid them.
Also I can make a new company in 20 minutes. It’s very easy to make a bad product, sell it once or twice, and change your company.
its easy to make a bad product but people take notice quickly thats why the good ones stick around. I noticed these boxes sell out quickly which means people must like them
I agree maybe not 20 minutes lol but with the right marketing and sales pitches nice custom boxes I can easily see how being cool will fill companies pockets just as well till the next cool product comes out
Thanks for the rip! I always ask myself if I would spend the money of the box on the card inside usually it’s no! But still better than todays retail boxes
My thoughts too i think this type of product is definitely for the person that wants the thrill of ripping a box but still wanting a high floor return
Nice product way better than Avsolute hobby prices for almost nothing in return
Well the "loss" on these was a lot less than opening most Panini boxes for sure.........pretty good overall. I've also opened quite a bit of Hit Parade from Dave+Adam's and they are pretty good but they're cheapest version is like $130/box and when I buy a case of 10 boxes I usually get like 5 or 6 cards that are only $50-60 cards. People seem to believe you're doing well these days if you make around 1/2 your money back on anything so these met that threshold.
Loved this video! It's great for people like me who struggle to get access to retail boxes.
Would love to see a post edit clip at the end of the video just adding your reaction once you know the more precise values!! Keep up the great work 💚💛🇮🇪🤟🏻
Fun video i enjoy watching repacks, i would like to see some more repacks forsure !
i had a ton of fun opening these, will definitely be doing some more in the future!
I don't really know what to think about repacks, they are interesting but it seems more likely that people are just happy taking minimal losses when it comes to cards, ceiling doesn't seem that high and the floor isn't too low, its sort of like you know that you are going to lose but you are ok because you won't get totally skunked
im fine with repacks but yeah i totally agree with you these were definitely fun but still not as cost effective as just buying singles. but just like regular boxes you are paying extra to have that thrill of the chase
I found that place (chasing the hobby) like a few months ago. Every time I try to get the high end boxes they are always sold out. Goes to show how much people like this company
I was surprised at how quickly these sold out when i was buying some
Love your variety of content! You should figure out a way to implement re-packs into a break. I'm not sure if it could be done or how, but I'd hop in one.
I don’t do pack or repacks or hobby boxes, cause I don’t want cards I don’t want so I chase the cards I do want so I know what money is getting
My thoughts repacks are algorithm ways to rehash collections that have been sitting around.. seems like another hustle . scammers come in many shapes and forms..Good luck tho..
Buy singles - if you MUST rip something either grab some cheap retail or know you're only going to get roughly 33% in value.
But if everyone buys singles and noone rips then there will be no singles left 😅 but yes i agree if you are trying to collect affordably just buy the cards you want
I like the way Arena Club does repacks because they keep track of what is hit and what is left.
Was a fun different break. I bought two prizm blasters and did quite well. A Cj Stroud silver premier jersey card, base puka nacua and a disco of bijan
At the end of the day, you’re almost guaranteed to do better if you keep buying these than sealed right now. The amount of times I’ve bought 4-5 blasters or one hobby box and the best value is a $10 card is too often.
I was wondering the exact same thing with the floor/average/ceiling of these repacks. Like the warmup one you said the floor=$40, average=$50, ceiling=$200. I didn’t hear if you said there was a total number of each price level made. But if there was 100 warmup level options made (just for an example) is there only like 1 or 2 ceiling boxes, 10 land somewhere between the average and the ceiling, 60 boxes hit the average and around 30 of them are the floor. So your chances of hitting the floor or average is like 90%
Love the mystery box videos, you should try Dave and Adams hit parade, no rc logo on that select dak?
Repacks are a second chance of getting something good which is affordable and great for the hobby
Love the vid man! What do you mean by your boxes are going to be different than someone else’s? Like you’re getting them at a different price?
No not at all haha like im going to have different results so kinda make your own judgement on these kinds of products lol
The only time I thought you had a fixed box was 2021 bowman u, when you pulled the braelon Allen auto
I’d buy the 50.00 boxes
I've never done a repack
Try couple hit parades
this was so fun i want to see more of this i want more!!!!!
I’m not mad at it at all but I do believe the “chase” is more gaslighting than fact. A good value comparable to a hobby box for the most parts. They seem to be comped by a Beckett magazine more than real comps when they packaged them. Great presentation. Overall 7.9-8.5 imo
i think thats a very fair rating. The "chase" cards were my biggest gripe about this. in my mind a chase card is something that far exceeds the value of what you paid for and not just a cool looking card lol
@@AcmePacks absolutely
Their values are messed up especially for the floors and the chases, but Panini's ROI is so terrible that it's probably a good product.
I will give them the benefit of the doubt that the football market does rapidly change and the prizm silver dak was worth $250 in mid december so if he had made a playoff run it wouldve been a lot more
@@AcmePacks that's a very good point!
I made my own re-packs and opened them, and all I got was trash.
lollll
Thanks for doing these reviews
yeah man i would love to watch content where you dive into the hobbys state
Great rip and review! Their chase cards weren't great tbh. I would prefer a chance at a $1000 card per say if I'm spending $200 and have the floor be a little lower, but I'm a gambler at heart. The Value in these is fine but they are someone else's random stuff they don't want/need. For $700 you could have got some real nice Packers autos🤷♂️ Go Pack Go!👊🍻
Honestly i have gotten smoked worse on repacks than panini hobby.
About even on hobby boxes other than two fotl contenders i bought....never again on contenders, only singles or breaks to hunt rookie ticket autos.
i have the same thoughts on contenders haha and this year is going to be terrible. A product that is centered around rookie autos without 3 of the top autos to pull. I will not be touching that with a 10' pole
These were definitely not bad, and definitely a better value than Absolute at $700. I’d say maybe it makes sense to go to repacks during times like now when box prices make zero sense. Otherwise, I’d prefer to rip.
in my opinion repacks only gained traction with box prices being what they are in the current state of the hobby. it was a fun rip and i got a bunch of cards I wouldnt normally look at getting
Love the Dak's. That silver RC is nasty!
You should never lose value/money getting a "chase" card. That is an absolute joke to me.
i thought that was extremely odd too tbh. that was my only complaint about this product
Enjoyed your thoughts on these. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
That Dak patch is a chase card? Did they pack this 3 years ago lolol
I think they would be good to mix into a break.
I'd rather lose $25 than $600. those werent bad at all
Sweet video! I’m gonna have to grab some
Definitely not bad I would purchase them
Excellent 👍 job on the product review.
Thank you!
They’re probably better than panini hobby boxes based on Average ROI. Obviously you can’t go into them expecting to make money. I’d say not too bad considering the wide variety of somewhat sought after players you can pull
i made 80% of my purchase price back and i got 2 below average black boxes which is what made me go negative. not a bad product at all when you could open a box of absolute and get $150 back for the same price.
Repacks are no good for 9/10 people in every case. 90% chance to start with a loss. If you're not interested in opening hobby boxes, great but don't expect a hit worth your money most times
Singles over hobby boxes is way to go
but if noone rips boxes there will be less singles to go around
@AcmePacks I get it..but $700 box for 150- 200 in value..till the market resets I just pick up who I pc
@@genebaranowski2327 oh 100% im not saying your wrong because your completely right haha
Would you ever add repacks to a group break? Or is that too whatnot-ish for your liking 😅
haha i actually thought about it after opening a few of these. Would be a cheap way to add a few extra hits
how much for the Dak I’ve been trying to find one of his for years
which one? the silver or the orange?
@@AcmePacks silver
@@cowboysfanforlife88 i would be looking for $150 for that
Nothing like spending $700 to get $400 worth of cards.
the cowboys losing was the best possible thing to happen for my PC unfortunately. but now i can buy some cool daks for cheaper
i still believe in dak, he just needs to figure out his playoff woes
@@AcmePacks ill always have faith in the boys, just heart breaking year after year
SGC is way better than PSA!
love sgc!
Fun watch
Great video!
Thanks!
Are you a packer fan because I am
yes i am!
cmon man that last card is not no chase card in any world
agreed, i was thrown off by that being a chase card. like yeah it was alright but as a chase card im looking for something a little better
Great rundown on these - seems that they have reported their floor value a little high, but overall pretty decent value. IMO there should be a concrete checklist available like RGL does. Without that it is very hard to actually know what the percentage of lower end cards to actual hits really is.
I like the video, thanks but repacks are just not for me. I want from the source, Topps, Panini, leaf, etc.... These seem like b or c level cards.
Totally understandable. I understand these are not for everyone but i wanted to make a video where i could talk about them a little bit!
Basically nobody would buy the cards you get out of these otherwise. Well I can’t wait to get my videos edited to show my mystery box. 50 boxes total with a chance at Steph Curry Rookie Ticket, Kobe Game Worn Patch On Card Auto/25, Lebron SSP Auto, Steph Curry Triple RC Auto /49, BGS 9.5/10 KD RC Auto, and more thats 10% chance you get one of those cards but hey erybody would rather buy a Donruss Basketball for $300 to get an undrafted FA RC Auto 🤣
value slabs definitely have their place in the hobby and clearly people are buying them if i was able to get recent comps on literally all of them lol
@@AcmePacks obviously they bought them so there are comps right? 🤷🏽♂️ thought that didn’t need to be pointed out 🤦🏽
I could hear your Packer fanhood trembling through your voice every time you said Dak Prescott, lol.
YEAHHH HERE WE GOOO 😅
Not bad repacks worth the purchase
Not a fan of
Honestly not bad, definitely would prefer ripping the lower end packs imo
i still like doing both but these are a solid alternative being $50 for the blue warm up ones. You cant expect much but your always getting some value out of them
Nice review! Fun rip! I personally would have a problem with receiving 2 cards in a pack with one of them being a PSA 8, just to bump the value up to the “floor.” Most people rip packs to review products/pc their favorite players. With the extremely low possibility of hitting a PC Card in these packs, receiving a PSA 8 of a card you do not necessarily want makes it difficult to resell to recoup some of the money spent on said packs. Otherwise, looks like fun!
Wats up AP
Hey pick six!!
@@AcmePacksI dropped Part 1 of my Derek Stingley Jr collection. Part 2 was Mosaic and Leaf
Well, one of those seen better, seen worse deals.
Thanks for sharing!
🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
Take Care/Stay Safe ✌
Can't believe the put a mem card in there.
I certainly wouldn't call that an above average card.😅😅
that was my biggest problem with this product is when i think of a "chase" card I think of a card that everyone wants because it far exceeds the value of what you paid. Otherwise i think the $50 warm ups were a decent value. My losses all came from the black boxes
Most of these cards I would never buy for myself but now that I have them I love them
First one
Let me get this straight. This is a video about people who gambled buying pictures of men on cardboard, who then gambled again by having their cards subjectively graded, who then sold their cards to someone else, who then sorted and repackaged them all in such a way so as to play house (guaranteed profit off the top) to people like you - who gamble playing their game? LMAO 😂
Exactly!
Awesome review bro! We'll done! I do like these kind of information videos. 🤘🏾
I appreciate it!
Love the Walker!
These look a lot better than other stuff out there. I like that they included a lot of stars and current players. Might have to try these out!!
i was extremely happy with this product other than the "chase card" in the black box. That should not have been labeled as that
@@AcmePacks yeah I’m thinking maybe those were made when Dak was a MVP favorite or something.
@@tonywarner4056 thats exactly what i was thinking. The dake silver was going for $250 about a month ago before the playoffs so i really cant blame them. Gotta keep that in perspective as well
@@AcmePacks spot on. Market changes so quickly so it’s understandable. That’s why including current players in these repacks is better in my opinion because at least some of these guys can grow in value. Including vets and non desirable players doesn’t really get you anywhere. Awesome video though man, appreciate the work you put in for the hobby!
@@tonywarner4056 i really appreciate that man! 🤝
very cool review man
Scam alert. Just buy singles.
Thats the beauty of the hobby people can chose how they want to collect whether its buying singles, opening wax, getting into breaks, trading, ect. Theres something for everyone
What a waste of money, and not just because you didn't make your money back in this specific video. You could straight up just pick a random graded card from ebay, pay market value, and you would achieve the exact same result without losing any value at the point of sale.
Panini charging $800 per pox isn't the entire problem either, they're just a symptom on the problem. The real problem are the people actually paying that price. Panini are only charging that much for product because people are actually paying it. Stop paying top dollar for the new releases as soon as they come out. You don't NEED the new hotness at any price, I promise you.
I know it isn't as fun as ripping packs, but the singles market is GREAT right now. You can get 95% of the cards you want at great prices. You shouldn't be paying anyone (Panini, re-pack sellers, etc.) hundreds of dollars in premium just for the privilege to spin the slot machine and see what cards come out of your pack.
Look, if this is your cup of tea, more power to you I guess. I only ask that you at least take a moment and consider the power your spending has on the bigger picture.
Also, when I say "you" in my comment above, I don't specifically mean Acme Packs. I mean anyone, if it isn't obvious. Just wanted to clear that up.
all good haha i understood what your were saying! and all very fair points! but im also not here to tell people how to spend their money haha i just like to make videos and show products i find! My personal opinion on the current state of the hobby is do whatever makes you happy! yes the box prices are frustrating right now and i totally understand that but whether you collect singles, open boxes, join breaks, or trade there is something for everyone at every price point to collect!
@@AcmePacks Yep no worries. I think videos like this can definitely be important because they show different avenues that the hobby can be enjoyed, and they provide opportunity for conversations like this. I love your videos where you essentially create your own hobby boxes from singles you purchase. I think more people should really consider doing things like that because you can get some great cards that you actually want and pay a fair price for them.
@@RyanOnTheInternet thats great feedback! I never knew if people liked those types of videos or not so thank you for that!
