    Just popped open a donrus hobby box. Daughter and I plan on opening them during these ufc fights this weekend. But we decided to open one pack each early. We PULLED a 1 of 1 Auto Stephen wonderboy Thompson. Card is a beauty and our first 1 of 1 for us as new to ufc card collecting

      Congrats! That’s absolutely awesome! It can’t get any better than that. Welcome to the 1/1 club. I pulled my 1st and only from donruss this year. 1/1 Dustin 💎 Poirier Auto.
      Congrats again on the Wonderboy! 🤙

    Both videos (pt1 & pt2) really informative and have helped me understand the different types of boxes and cards. Been buying singles but feel I’ve learnt enough from your videos to try my luck at a hobby box.
    You are right though - Not a hobby to make money from!

    Great advice here bud. "Watch the sport" is the best advice. I knew Conor and izzy were going to be Champs before it happened and went hard on there cards trying to get rookies. Last year was Khamzat. Sometimes u can just see it coming by the style of fighting the fighter has compared to the rest of the division. Great video bro.

    When people say 1/1, or 1/25, what exactly does that mean? 😅 There's only one (or twenty five) of that specific card fighter/color/style combination in existence?

    • @TheGoldenOctagon
      @TheGoldenOctagon  Před 11 měsíci

      Yes that’s correct. Every #ed card will be stamped with a # (ex. 24/25). And those correlate to the color of the card.

    • @TheGoldenOctagon
      @TheGoldenOctagon  Před 11 měsíci

      /25 would mean there’s 25 of them that all look the same. 1/25, 3/25, 15/25, 25/25 are all the same card. Just stamped with a different #

  • @Knightyann
    @Knightyann Před 11 měsíci +1

    What about make a fighter signing his own card? Is it a good idea? The value of the card increase or not?

    • @TheGoldenOctagon
      @TheGoldenOctagon  Před 11 měsíci +1

      It depends. MOST (not all) autographs come on a sticker put on the card by panini already “guaranteed authentic” they so have some sets where they get the fighter to sign on card.
      But if you were to personally meet a fighter to get him/her to sign that’s dope too. It’s all your personal preference. I wouldn’t buy any 2nd hand in person autos without it being authenticated 1st.
      I hope this helps 🙏

    • @TheGoldenOctagon
      @TheGoldenOctagon  Před rokem +1

      Hey man, good question! I made this before optic came out.
      The main difference is the regular Donruss is printed on paper stock. And the Optic is printed on more of a plastic (like prizm and select if you’re familiar with that).
      There’s a few other differences like inserts and such but card design is basically the same.

      No problem Brotha. One thing to keep in mind is every set has different parallels. And every set will have a “retail exclusive” parallel.
      From what it sounds like you’ve got a Blue Velocity from a optic hanger pack. There should be 3-4 of them per pack. No # or anything just a cooler version of the base card. It’s tricky but you’ll eventually get the hang of it the more you open.
      Also every box/ pack will tell you what you’re looking for on the back/side.
      Good luck man 👊🤙
