Compared to all the Contenders I've seen prior this was definitely much better! Those Lottery Tickets are beautiful, that Mahomes & Love was fire! I'm biased tho just as you are being from Wisco lol
I wouldn't spend +$500 on it but that sure beats their retail. Its nice they didnt just regular base cards.
dont get me wrong, still a tough product. but i am happy with the changes to it
Thank you for sharing, always appreciate new product reviews!
Not a strong box but did have decent inserts just have to wait and see who gets playing time 🎉 I like that the base will be different than the retail which might influence set builders
Fools gold, with all that glitter! 😂
Yooooo sick rip! Nice Trice and Bigsby!
I think they should make the reds numbered
Of course I’m a homer but Bears fan in general are really high on Gervon Dexter. He’s the guy out of everyone we drafted in 2023 that looks like he’s going to breakout. I don’t know how much of a consolation that is but maybe it’ll end up being worth something if you hold onto it. Appreciate you ripping this for the channel even though Contenders has not been good to you to say the least.
he is looking like a monster
Thank you for your vids
Man for $500 this might actually be the worst product they’ve ever made 😅. Legitimately not sure you can break even unless you open /10 Stroud parallel, or a super low numbered AR auto smh
very tough product, very few cards will get you to that $500 mark
Great video
These are some beautiful looking hobby cards. I’m impressed
Lol im actually going to be buying up the base of these. Such a cool product this year.
will be awesome for singles for sure
I like the base cards and the fact that they varied up some of the other stuff. The cards look nice, but man is ripping Tendies still a recipe to get dusted. Nice rip all the same!
3rd box of this I've seen that has been ripped. I have to say it's a real risk it for the biscuit and no influencers going to make me purchase one of these boxes can't wait for optic
Im ready for optic at $850 to hurt me even worse than this 🤣
It’s crazy how much ppls spend on the card hobby and breaks.. saw on whatnot, the FOTL box being auctioned for $875 +
Hey I got an important question, what’s better?
An ungraded rookie card with an on card auto but not limited or a PSA 8 graded limited /25 rookie auto card but with a sticker?
All personal preference and what product it comes from
Thanks for the rip. Do you know if the sticker autos are always the no name late rounders or if they have sticker autos of the big guys like AR and Puka?
to my knowledge, the good autos will all be on card
Thanks for the video. I got a great box last year but I am still waiting for my redemption to be fulfilled which has left a bad taste in my mouth. I think I am going to buy 5 Goodwin Champions boxes for the price I'd pay for this. At least I will have a chance for an unlicensed CJ Stroud autograph.
Andy great video, cool cards, price is too high for low return
First pack would be a great pack for @SLVRSPORT. One for Brandon, a bear, and a tank!
retail megas have 2 red 1 bronze parallel
Man you got lucky with your box and your autos because I watched the guy open a box this morning and all of his autos were no bodies and we're all plain border no cracked eyes no numbered autos or anything
I would be interested in that Dexter auto. Are you going to throw it up on the bay?
going to ebay! should have it up tomorrow! Monday's are always my days for updatng ebay inventory
I hit a Sean Clifford gold rookie ticket /5 😂 im a magnet of him. He is to me what Michael Wilson is to you.
Those winning tickets are nice, especially the cracked ice Mahomes 🔥
But for $500 I'd rather buy singles. Panini needs to step their game up for Contenders
You get singles buy people opening the product tho.
A much better design finally broke up the monotony of the typical base. Aside from the no name autos this is actually a good value for 5-6 autos. Plus the winning ticket is incredible!
I like the Mahomes cracked ice winning ticket!
that helped salvage the box for sure!
When I saw the Kyler peaking through I immediately thought of 2021 illusions Kyler auto /10
Corey trice could be good soon with Patrick Peterson getting older he could step up in a year or2
What up AP
How much on the Trice auto?
Does stroud sign cards bc I heard he doesn’t at least in packs kind of football cards
@@brettonwayne2109 not in panini products
@@AcmePacks ok thank you
Would you rather buy 1 optic hobby box or a case of optic blasters
hobby
@@AcmePacks thank you.
Hi mate. Are you doing a donruss soccer box opening?
Unfortunately i am not i wont be able to get to making that video
This is the one I recommended
Looks like you found this one on auction
How much is a box of this fotl
These floored at dutch auction at $525
Every Fotl l I've seen opened came with an auto in every pack....
Typical contenders- prices gotta come down soon. Unfortunately people have to leave the hobby in masses before these companies get the hint.
Love the content though!
ive been saying this for 4 years haha it is what it is
Price is driven by demand, not set by Panini
@@dvusr31 Secondary market is set by demand. MSRP is definitely set by panini
You need a recession and this stuff will get nailed.
@@trentbateman i mean im not out here hoping that we go into a recession
All these undrafted free agent AUTOS. Panini should be ashamed of themselves. The others are late draft picks who will never play. Thanks for sharing!
Base design mass8ve upgrade
The disrespect putting Hardy Nickerson in the base pile! My poor bucs
it's an insert, really not much different. lol
Is the Josh Allen for sale?
Sorry that one already sold
About 100 a pack for contenders with hardly any top signers? Gotta be outta your mind
Great video as always!!
Not worth it at all!
tough product for sure, contenders is still contenders. i like the changes though
Dude! That mahomes is nasty! Congrats! Really like how they have upgraded the set… inserts are really nice as well as the base.. less packs and seems to be more numbered cards… can’t forget the chance at case hits! I’m sad they didn’t do this sooner!
quality over quantity in my book!
WR? With number 54😅😅
The nfl lets you choose any number now regardless of position now
What site do you use to get these before they hit hobby?
First off the line is always a panini direct exclusive. They will have it up on their website with a countdown for when it goes live and then the product is on a dutch auction where the price lowers every 5 minutes until it sells out
That Mahomes was cool. Great vid as always
Appreciate it!
First
It looks like Panini ran out of good autos and only had a bunch of no-name autos to stick in Contenders. Having watched several of these Contenders FOTL rips, I have not seen one single notable auto. Just a bunch of guys that no one has heard of. Not worth it at all, IMHO.
WHY are "influencers" here on You Tube promoting this Contenders product in all formats knowingly it is 💯 🗑️. Just buy singles and SAVE your money 🤑🤯
@@chadfrenna3912 if noone ripped product there would be no singles to buy 🤷♂️
@@AcmePacks I get that brother, 🤯 Cracks me up though when people promote "1st off the line" product for so much more money for what there actually worth & in literally weeks value drops 😂 There's clearly only 1 word that sums up the hobby especially to those that are new & green. PATIENCE, it will save you TONS of 🤑
@@chadfrenna3912 i totally get that but there is also a difference between promoting and showing a product off. I said multiple times throughout this video that this is an extremely tough product that relies on the one on card auto.
To your singles comment, i have also been very vocal to anyone who asks where the best value is in the hobby is to buy singles. Rip for fun, not for profit. Just because i make videos on products does not mean i am oblivious to that fact
@@AcmePacks Acme, love your channel & what you do for the hobby 👍. I like to help those as well especially those who are new to the hobby and the kids of course. Have a blessed weekend 😎
Its their job dumbass lmfaooo
Dusted…
Definitely not worth the price with the shit autos
Thats contenders in a nutshell lol
@@AcmePacks glad I didnt buy a contenders hobby box. I bought a Limited and pulled a Zay Flowers RPA /49, DJ Moore Auto /10, and a Hasson Reddick Patch /99
This stuff is pure shit!!!!! Congrats on your $40 worth of cards out that $500 box
Thanks man 🫡
