I've now opened two hobby boxes since I first watched your video, and you couldn't be more wrong about this. This product is lit. I've gotten so many great hits from it that I'm now loaded with great cards to be graded AND for my PC. DE LA CRUZ patch, HOLLIDAY in MARVELS, a WHAMMY OF Jordan Walker, some amazing autos, and that's just a drop in the bucket of some of the great cards I got. I bought the last hobby box from my nearby hobby store, so I'm gonna have to find some online now instead. This is worth buying for sure❤❤👍
I agree, target has been sold out online for 3 weeks and big online card stores are charging 200$ a hobby box whereas they were 100$ in April. Elly cards were through the roof in price when he got called up.
I have been saying this since Fanatics got in the licenses. People will regret ever saying Fanatics was good for the hobby. I hope the NHL holds strong.
@Josh Kaufman you do realize Topps still has redemptions right? Over a year later since fanatics bought them and they still have redemptions. Not sure why you think that'll change. Players just aren't signing when they should.
I really appreciate you pointing that out. Errors and little wrinkles like this use to be really cool. Donruss baseball has does a million different image variations and faux-errors throughout the years that I just don't bother to seek them out anymore because their value isn't much more than teh base.
I actually like this box. I love getting prospects, and since I'm old, I love old legends as well lol. As long as they bring down the price a bit, I'll buy this for sure!
We ripped a half a case...it was a lot of fun but NO Hall of Famer autos. Still have half a case...we will sprinkle it in with other things...but I think it could have been worse. Now CBC has the full checklist...some HOFers but I haven't seen them.
I would like more videos like this. I starting watching a few ripper youtubers during covid after not buying sports cards for almost twenty years and was wondering why i wasnt seeing the sets that i remwmbered like topps finest and what not.
Sucks because I switched to Optic instead of Chrome a couple years ago, when Topps decided to start gouging people. Now no Optic...I guess will get a couple Chrome blasters, hope they have the $20 MVP redemption again and call it a day for that.
I honestly like the new set its different and awesome to rip seeing old hall of fame players plus the new kids that might take over MLB someday. I know a lot of people don't like Donruss but this season's is cool
It's a great product. Lots of hits for the price, prospect autos and retired guys. Lots of potential. I know not every hobby is created equal, but so far mine have been more than worth the $100 for the box. Now for other products, Prizm, Select etc. I'm sad about the loss of the player license.
My guy I usually like you but you carried on way,way,way too much about how terrible this product was and is going to be. You pulled almost box value on a $100 box. I've seen boxes of 2023 Topps Heritage and Series 1 and 2 that are around the same price point produce far less value.
I love the set. I picked up a hobby box and got a Frank Thomas auto and a Ichiro Whammy. Of course it sucks that current players are not in the set, but there's nothing they can do about that at this point. We know who holds the cards (pun intended). For someone who is a collector and not a seller like myself, I think it's a good buy for about 100 bucks for a hobby box. We can all agree to disagree.
I agree 100% with you. I actually enjoyed opening this box, and it had a ton of numbered cards, and bunch of parallels and inserts. I think it’s good value for the price too. I hit a numbered Elly De La Cruz Unleashed which was awesome.
The one thing I did hate was the super thick multiple spacer packs. I thought I had a couple nice relics that turned out to be 2 and 3 spacers in the pack.
They didn’t have the MLB license to begin with, they recently lost the MLBPA license, so now all they can make is sets with retired players and prospects. As if Panini baseball wasn’t already bad enough.
Once you get past the fact that there are no active players it is a really fun box to rip. I think they did a good job with what they had to work with. Also a great product for new collectors i.e. Kids. The price point should be lower as you said.
Thanks for the vid! I am (was) a HUGE panini baseball fan just as you are RGL. If you are the number one advocate (which I confirm lol)..then I'm on the podium somewhere alongside you for sure. Nothing more fun than ripping Chronicles or Absolute..or last year's Immaculate. The older Donruss and Diamond Kings...Optic Choice...Prizm..they will be missed!
I agree completely with you. Flawless and Fotl optic baseball last year were fun products to open. Hope future 2023 Panini baseball products improve but not holding my breath.
I bought 5 card back's for a dollar. (30) got good old cards. black an white. Looking for babe an Garret, cob . Shoeless Joe Jackson that will be nice......
I was looking this up today after watching your video and am surprised to see that it is STILL way overpriced. Is there something that has saved it from the predicted price drop?
No interest in this version. If they switched to Choice only style products it would be ok. I'm only interested in legends or prospects if it's an auto, sp, or numbered card.
If you had any doubts about this product then fear not, you get reassured 73 times that this product sucks. I don't think its that bad. Some decent prospects and 3 hits for 130 bucks.
I opened a box yesterday, got 3 autos and 2 relics. Got Jacob Berry optic orange auto. #d 85 . You get ton of #d cards . It was a fun rip. We can't all afford $600 boxes
At 7:09 why is Nolan Ryan throwing left handed haha.
Done on purpose. 2 variations of the card, reverse and non reverse

I pulled a Druw Jones auto out of 25 sold it for $100 in minutes.
I really like the parallels and inserts. Thanks for sharing
it's the pack spacers for me
They do that so people cant search for packs based on what ones heavier than the other indicating that relics are heavier than the other cards.
OMG I had no idea @@Jake-tc9he
One of the best sets for value this year. Regardless of the vets! Sold out everywhere!!!!
I agree, target has been sold out online for 3 weeks and big online card stores are charging 200$ a hobby box whereas they were 100$ in April. Elly cards were through the roof in price when he got called up.
This is the review I’ve been waiting for
This set is better than previous years
Monopolies aren't good for this hobby at all. The end.
The outlook is bleak I fear
The alternative to a non monopoly doesn't have to be panini.
I have been saying this since Fanatics got in the licenses. People will regret ever saying Fanatics was good for the hobby. I hope the NHL holds strong.
@Josh Kaufman you do realize Topps still has redemptions right? Over a year later since fanatics bought them and they still have redemptions. Not sure why you think that'll change. Players just aren't signing when they should.
Wish more companies had licenses
I don't care, I like it. The auto's have been generally good too
Man you hit a Jackson holiday auto you got something for sure!
Nice James wood auto he’s killing it in the minors future star
Prizm Colorblast baseball was a great insert set. RIP 🪦 panini
I got an Awsome 2023 Donruss box it was such a fun rip
jirdan walker towards the end was a reverse negative
I really appreciate you pointing that out. Errors and little wrinkles like this use to be really cool. Donruss baseball has does a million different image variations and faux-errors throughout the years that I just don't bother to seek them out anymore because their value isn't much more than teh base.
Noticed 2 of the Griffeys were reversed too. Weird seeing him as a righty haha.
I got one of these boxes off Amazon before watching this hopefully won’t regret it😢
I ripped one box and pulled a 1/1 black unleashed of Elly de la Cruz. Box was worth every penny! It is sad that it doesn’t have active players though
I listed all my De La Cruz before bed and woke up to it all being sold lol
Did the same. His Base cards were going for 10$+
That was hard to watch. I'll miss panini
I actually like this box. I love getting prospects, and since I'm old, I love old legends as well lol. As long as they bring down the price a bit, I'll buy this for sure!
Prospectors will buy it still, good autos
I bought a case and pulled a gold 1/1 auto Elijah Green
Keep up the great videos 🎉
I SURVIVED THE WHOLE VIDIO. 😊😊😊😊😊
We ripped a half a case...it was a lot of fun but NO Hall of Famer autos. Still have half a case...we will sprinkle it in with other things...but I think it could have been worse. Now CBC has the full checklist...some HOFers but I haven't seen them.
I think its a fun box. Its probably the most fun ive had on a while
RIP but I will always remember Panini Immaculate Baseball for giving me my Elly!!!
Ripped one of these , 3 autos and 1 jersey card , not a baseball guy at all so to me was an awesome rip idk who Al I pulled lol but was decent for me
Tatis has a Superstar Skylines card in this
I would like more videos like this. I starting watching a few ripper youtubers during covid after not buying sports cards for almost twenty years and was wondering why i wasnt seeing the sets that i remwmbered like topps finest and what not.
How much for the mirrored Griffey?
Sucks because I switched to Optic instead of Chrome a couple years ago, when Topps decided to start gouging people. Now no Optic...I guess will get a couple Chrome blasters, hope they have the $20 MVP redemption again and call it a day for that.
Yea I couldnt believe the retail price for a blaster of chrome, $35
He missed a nolan ryan reverse image short print and a griffey jr reverse image
I Survived RGLs 2023 Panini Donruss Baseball Hobby Box Review
I honestly like the new set its different and awesome to rip seeing old hall of fame players plus the new kids that might take over MLB someday. I know a lot of people don't like Donruss but this season's is cool
Can't do this and it is truly sad the Fanatics has the monopoly locked down on the 3 majors.
An unlicensed product I did like is Leaf In the game used. I got some sweet autos from a box of that.
Cry flippers Cry....Great video....A product a true collector will be able to buy...Flippers dont want them...Money RUINED the hobby!
LOL at this comment. No one is making ANY money holding and/or flipping Panini hobby baseball unless it's FOTL or Flawless. Clueless.
I dumped all my panini baseball in one swoop. Didn’t look back. I still collect basketball and football tho
If only they numbered the spacers! Can you imagine, a black 1/1! 😂😂😂
No Cal Raleigh that's a deal breaker.
I love the old guys- going to get these for sure👍🏻😁
Thanks for the rip. Ripped a box and sold an auto for $85 in 10 minutes. Made a decent amount from my hobby box.
It's a great product. Lots of hits for the price, prospect autos and retired guys. Lots of potential. I know not every hobby is created equal, but so far mine have been more than worth the $100 for the box.
Now for other products, Prizm, Select etc. I'm sad about the loss of the player license.
An auto to 25 in Donruss is good
So is this the new don Russ design that will trinkle into other sports
Panini baseball has always been rough.
My guy I usually like you but you carried on way,way,way too much about how terrible this product was and is going to be. You pulled almost box value on a $100 box. I've seen boxes of 2023 Topps Heritage and Series 1 and 2 that are around the same price point produce far less value.
Im sure they will have contracts saying No free public signings. Got to protect their interest. Which will include kids at games.
I’d bet you have never got a Donruss box with this many hits before
Ichiro is who got me into baseball as a kid and back into collecting as an adult
I love the set. I picked up a hobby box and got a Frank Thomas auto and a Ichiro Whammy. Of course it sucks that current players are not in the set, but there's nothing they can do about that at this point. We know who holds the cards (pun intended). For someone who is a collector and not a seller like myself, I think it's a good buy for about 100 bucks for a hobby box. We can all agree to disagree.
I think $100 is way too much for this. $60 maybe.
I agree 100% with you. I actually enjoyed opening this box, and it had a ton of numbered cards, and bunch of parallels and inserts. I think it’s good value for the price too. I hit a numbered Elly De La Cruz Unleashed which was awesome.
The one thing I did hate was the super thick multiple spacer packs. I thought I had a couple nice relics that turned out to be 2 and 3 spacers in the pack.
The@@TitleTownSportsCards They add spacers so the pack searchers dont pick out the packs with just the relic.
Select baseball cereal boxes is one of the best products I’ve ever opened. IYKYK
Ichiro was only good at things that caught attention without creating actual oroduction
Can you get an anthony volpe?
I have opened 3 boxes of this, and I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. Sorry your box was terrible...
They didn’t have the MLB license to begin with, they recently lost the MLBPA license, so now all they can make is sets with retired players and prospects. As if Panini baseball wasn’t already bad enough.
I luv Flawless, National Treasures, Optic, Prizm. Honestly they do a good job for a fraction of the price compared to football and basketball.
Once you get past the fact that there are no active players it is a really fun box to rip. I think they did a good job with what they had to work with. Also a great product for new collectors i.e. Kids. The price point should be lower as you said.
Not much different than Topps Pro Debut so it’s really not that bad.
liked donruss better than series 2 topps. 3 good hits vs 1 crap topps auto. donruss is kinda like a new bowman.. like the legends as well
If you’re selling the James wood I’m a buyer
Don't touch the Heinie 😂😅
Thanks for the vid! I am (was) a HUGE panini baseball fan just as you are RGL. If you are the number one advocate (which I confirm lol)..then I'm on the podium somewhere alongside you for sure. Nothing more fun than ripping Chronicles or Absolute..or last year's Immaculate. The older Donruss and Diamond Kings...Optic Choice...Prizm..they will be missed!
is this the donruss design that the other sports will look like later?
I agree completely with you. Flawless and Fotl optic baseball last year were fun products to open. Hope future 2023 Panini baseball products improve but not holding my breath.
Pretty sure that James woods is 50 by itself
Panini can still put out a nice set of HOFers like Leaf does.
So they can really do some awesome stuff with a legends and hall of famer sets. Just focus the product on those legends. I would definitely buy that!
Honestly I’m pretty sure I got a hot box numbwred cards I’m every pack some had 2 or 3
Going to Double my money off of 5 cards
Elly de la Cruz auto
Hoping Fanatics buys Donruss, Upper Deck, Pinnacle names among others. I don’t wanna see the panini name I don’t care for their designs.
Will this product have any value in prospecting?
I think it will be the budget alternative to Bowman autos for sure. The optic autos really look nice, but they'll sell for far less than they should.
A good product to get all the juicers, gamblers, and HOF snubs. 😂
Sounds like a monopoly going on
90 donruss is one of the first cards i ever remember getting. will always enjoy the design. autos were good, but yes, still over priced.
I bought 5 card back's for a dollar. (30) got good old cards. black an white. Looking for babe an Garret, cob . Shoeless Joe Jackson that will be nice......
Nice rip on the De La Cruz. Probably got the only hit most people are chasing.
Fanatics is in process of buying out HGA Grading and have hired several Panini employees and JSA employees away! Their taking over in small steps!
If you still have the pete rose cards... hit me up XD
I was looking this up today after watching your video and am surprised to see that it is STILL way overpriced. Is there something that has saved it from the predicted price drop?
Mostly the fact it's easier to hit prospect autos from this product than anything else.
i was wondering if prospecting was going to save this product.
Didn’t fanatics already buy panini?
It is a sad day... this product is horrid. I think we just heard the death rattle from Panini Baseball
Dang that’s crazy the Woods auto /25 is only worth $50 considering his prospect pedigree. Agree should be like $50-$60 box at most
panini has always been 🗑️🚮 idk why people still buy that product
No interest in this version.
If they switched to Choice only style products it would be ok. I'm only interested in legends or prospects if it's an auto, sp, or numbered card.
Im not a baseball fan and THIS hurts me... its not the same if you dont have current players that you can hit. No logos makes it even worst.
Ouch man I used to love panini baseball loved the inserts but now wow definitely not buying this
If you had any doubts about this product then fear not, you get reassured 73 times that this product sucks. I don't think its that bad. Some decent prospects and 3 hits for 130 bucks.
This pretty much sums up the box - "I don't need Tim Wakefield cards in 2023"
Ummm did you just say Tim Sal-eehh-mahn? 😂😂 Salmon....like the fish 🤦♂️
It’s actually not super terrible I got a 1 of 1 in the box I ordered. Granted I wouldn’t buy another box I was okay with the 1 of 1 lol
I opened a box yesterday, got 3 autos and 2 relics. Got Jacob Berry optic orange auto. #d 85 . You get ton of #d cards . It was a fun rip. We can't all afford $600 boxes
Panini should have loaded this up with Barry Bonds cards since he hasn't had any in years. Make it over the top
This set ain't even that bad... its kinda like bowman but not the 1st cards
Donruss makes some Fun cards all things considered.
I’m also a fan of Donruss….It was sad to see….truly disappointed
Bought 5 card back's for a dollar (30). Nice black a white old timers. (10) . Looking for babe an Garret,cobs, shoeless Jackson.. ¶:)
Names are awful but those card designs are amazing
It will sell. People collect prospects and Vets more than current players.
So will there be a possible comeback to the active major players for panini baseball?
