Somehow I’ve done 100 of these unboxing videos. You would think I would plan something big, but no, just another boring box of old as shit cards, and a redo at that. Still out here chasing the AJ Lee inserts. . .
More All Elite Wrestling boxes this week, even if I don’t really watch the product anymore, I can certainly still appreciate a good hit when I get one.
I may have paid full Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price for this box, but it was well worth it. This is definitely the best box of AEW I’ve gotten so far, but that’s not exactly saying a whole lot.
This week it’s a second box of Upper Deck All Elite Wrestling 2022 cards, because they were cheap, and I still haven’t completed the base set.
I’ll keep buying more of these until either I manage to complete that base set and/or I get some CM Punk memorabilia. Struck out on both fronts this time.
Short and sweet this week. This is just a 10 card ultra super mega exclusive rare pack of cards that was given away as swag at a Wrestlemania 35 Topps Transcendent VIP party. Cost of admission: $13k.
Did I spend 13K on this? Absolutely not. Now that this year Wrestlemania is in my backyard, I won’t even spend money for that. Old man can’t sit still for 30+ hours of wrestling content across 4 days without easy and private bathroom access. But I did get this on the secondary market for about what I would pay for nosebleeds for a single day.
I missed last week because of the holiday, so here is an extra long video of me opening an entire damn case of Panini America WWE Chronicle cards because they we were on sale.
I got 17x the amount of cards in an entire case than I could get in just a singular Hobby Box, for about the same price at the time. That’s just pure economy of scale I can’t pass up. Still didn’t complete the base set though.

Panini 2023 WWE Select 2 Hobby Boxes Break
This week is a twofer, with not one but two WWE Select Hobby Boxes, but one is an asian exclusive that I can’t really see a difference between them, except it was half the price. Whatever, I’ll take it.
While I got a Stone Cold Steve Austin in one of those higher tier boxes once, I think this is my best Attitude Era hit yet. Even so, too many duplicates between these boxes for my tastes.
We move on from weird music card sets these week, back to wrestling themed, but still somewhat 90’s related, as Upper Deck pulled out the Skybox label on this box of All Elite Wrestling cards that shouldn’t be allowed to call itself a hobby box if it didn’t contain a hit.
Is it a good idea to name your card set “Universe” when that term is pretty heavily used by your competition? Probably not, but that didn’t stop them.
Back by popular demand, and the fact that I don’t have cable and my favorite OTA channel just changed formats to a clone of UPN circa 2005, it’s more Episode stories!
As in my schtick with these, I play as a lesbian, while always picking the premium gem choices when they come up. This time it’s “The Soulmate Game”, a clone of The Bachelor, but with a team of scientists picking matches, and if the contestants pick the same person as the scientists, they win a million dollars. But can true love be determined by an algorithm? If you have 5 hours to spare, sit down and find out.
