If you only watch one of my unboxing videos, I highly recommend it being this one. I finally get a truly rare insert, and I do not handle it well. At all.

Still bummed I didn’t get the Ultra Rare this time, which commemorated probably the most insane instance of vertical integration ever: That time Dwayne The Rock Johnson showed up on an episode of Star Trek: Voyager to cross promote WWE SmackDown on UPN by delivering a Rock Bottom to Seven of Nine. I swear that all makes sense in context.

Would anyone like to get together and play a twenty year old card game based entirely on one episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine? Anyone? Bueller? I didn’t think there would be any takers.

Grab your felt goatees and jump into the darkest timeline, as our next Star Trek CCG unboxing is all about the Mirror Universe, but back in the days of DS9, so it hadn’t run off the rails yet after that Enterprise two-parter or that whole dumb half season of Discovery.

This will be the fastest CCG unboxing yet, since it has the fewest packs and less cards per pack, but also really nothing special to search for. All around I think I got some pretty good rares, but there are some obvious misses that would have been nice. Maybe if I didn’t get so many duplicate rares, but what are you gonna do? That’s what happens when you open 30 year old boxes. There’s no one to complain to but yourself.

This is the box that made me go and edit Memory Alpha, because none of my research online indicated that there was anything but the standard three rarities of Common, Uncommon, and Rare. But according to the rules supplement in the box, both the Q-Flash and Mortal Q are 4/3 as frequent as other cards in their tier. I however can’t tell if that means they are more rare or less rare than a standard card, since the language is ambiguous. I did get more than 1 Mortal Q, so maybe less rare? If only it was 30 years ago and I could write them an email. But at least now it’s notated.

I begin at least a solid month and a half of Star Trek CCG unboxings with this box of The Borg.

For the first time, I manage to pull the mega rare while people are actually watching. Is it any good? Not really.

Also, yes, I got a haircut. Big whoop, wanna fight about it?

How is it possible to pull an autograph from a pack of wrestling cards of someone who isn’t event a wrestler? I don’t know, but to quote Michael Scott, “Somehow I Manage.”
