Sorry for the lack of updates. Got all caught up in sportsball there for a bit, but we’re back.

Here’s me opening two boxes of a crazy Canadian set that has autographs from pretty much the entire universe of wrestling. These boxes are both very odd, in that they are 99% the same from box to box, and very cool, in that the options for autographs are just an insane mix of people.

So what are the All Elite Wrestling and Upper Deck versions of Panini’s higher ends lines like? Well, much like AEW itself, pretty much just a cheaper copy without all the shine and polish.

It should be illegal to include memorabilia relics without stating when and where they actually come from. Guess I’ll enjoy a piece of canvas from some random ass Jacksonville era Dynamite.

Bench Warmers 1992 Trading Card Box Break

Unboxing on September 25, 2023 at 2:48 pm by

I’m not even sure who this is targeted at, but I find it funny, so here it is. Here’s the NEW dumbest thing I’ve ever bought for the site. Watch me opening yet another box of softcore bikini cards from the early 90’s, because reasons.

It’s so 90’s, I’m surprised it didn’t come with a pair of jams and some pogs, but I think they sold both in their merch store, if one was so inclined.

Eh, this is another Rittenhouse Star Trek: Discovery box for another season. They’re all pretty much the same, but for some reason the packaging and randomization on this set was WAY off.

I got the best insert I ever had in one of these Rittenhouse Star Trek sets that only maybe 13 year old me can truly appreciate. Plus it was one of six I got, which is was more than I should have.

Panini 2023 WWE Revolution Blaster Box Unboxing

Unboxing, Wrestling on September 11, 2023 at 3:22 pm by

This year’s Panini WWE Revolution set is pretty much exactly the same as last years, in that it is a crazy Lisa Frank fever dream of sparkles and colors. But I did finally get an insert in one of these smaller hobby boxes for once, so I got that going for me.

I finally get a redemption card I can actually redeem, but here I am two months later, still waiting for Mami to show up at my door. . .

This is a very strange set, with each card having at minimum 9 different variants, but the cost to autograph ratio was so good, I just couldn’t pass it up.

It’s always nice when I do slightly better than advertised in my pulls, even if they generally were not all that great, and one is a personal duplicate from someone I met at a Creation Star Trek con 5 minutes from my house.

Topps 2016 WWE Heritage Blaster Box Break

Unboxing, Wrestling on August 28, 2023 at 5:19 pm by

More baseball themed Topps WWE Heritage sets because I can’t stop until I catch them all. Does it still count as an insert if it’s not even from a Premium Live Event? Looks like the answer is yes, yes it does.

I wasn’t even aware this 25th anniversary set from Impel had a second series, but I managed to pick this box up for about what I paid for that box of Series I at a Kmart in 1994 for.

Because this was from the 90’s of course there were holograms involved. I would have loved to have shown them to you, but they were very rare, and my box didn’t have any.
