Topps 2012 WWE Heritage Hobby Box Break
Man, I love the aesthetics of these sets themed on old baseball cards. But Jebus, were my insert pulls really bad.
I hope you like not even the Nexus, but the Corre. Who am I kidding, no one liked the Corre.
This event had 16(!) damn matches and was over 7.5 hours long including the pre show. I can really only remember two of them at most, so yeah. I can see why now after this one it’s now split into two nights. Thanks Covid!
Even though this set was based on the 2019 WrestleMania, it has cards going as far back as 2017. That’s a long winding road, indeed.

Topps 2021 WWE Chrome Hobby Box Break
Forgive me for thinking a cardset named WWE Chrome would be filled with Chrome cards. It was not. These are basically the same as the Topps Finest set, but perhaps a bit shinier. I see now why they lost the license.
I don’t know why the Random Number Gods keep giving me Candice LeRae inserts, but I’m not gonna complain.

Topps 2007 WWE Heritage III Box Break
This is the oldest of the WWE card boxes I have I have. Besides the awesome design, I highly recommend this one for watching me stuff my face with 15 year old gum. Because I am nothing if not consistent, if I open a box and it has something edible in it, I eat it. Clearly I didn’t die. Yet.

2022 Panini WWE Impeccable Hobby Box Break
I still don’t understand this set or it’s target audience at all, since getting the base set seems impossible and would cost at minimum over $18000. However, Panini America just released yet another set just like it, but without the bars of silver and focused more on t-shirt and other memorabilia. Regardless, $500 for 5 autographs, a chance at a silver bar, and three other rando basic cards doesn’t seem all that good to me.
I mean, what even am I supposed to do with a 1 once bar of silver glued to a picture of Nikki Bella anyway?
I took a week off because I was sick, but now I’m back with this third go around on the 2019 WWE Women’s Division Cards, but this time with a full Hobby Box, so exclusive subsets and two box hits guaranteed. I may still be angry about the sportsball game yesterday, but I always enjoy me a good set of Diva cards, even if my insert no longer even works there anymore.

Panini 2022 WWE Sticker Collection 3 Box Break
Remember those sticker sets from from when you were a kid? They were about some movie, or more than likely the World Cup? They’re still around, and they just released one for WWE. So how many boxes does of booster packs does it take to complete? Well, I can tell you it’s more than three. But come take a look. I think even 2/3 filled this thing is pretty neat.
But I used their missing sticker service to buy the individual stickers I needed to fill it out directly, and somehow out of 90 stickers I ordered, they fucked up on 3 of them. So now they need to send me two extra parcels, from Italy. For a 40 cent sticker. Someone’s losing money on postage because they don’t have proper quality control. And here I sit more than two months later with an incomplete book waiting on 3 stickers. . .
