“Santa” is bringing me a bunch of new boxes to open, but until then, here’s me opening yet another old baseball card themed box because I will not stop until I get a complete set, for reasons.
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.

Panini 2023 WWE Revolution Blaster Box Unboxing
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. . .

Topps 2016 WWE Heritage Blaster Box Break
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.

Panini 2023 WWE Prizm Hobby Box Break
Here I bought a new hobby box of the Panini WWE Prizm cards, which are nearly identical to last years, minus some extra color flair. On the plus side, my autograph is a bonafide government employee.

Topps 2015 WWE Heritage Blaster Box Break
What can I say, I love wrestling cards that look like old baseball cards.
It was nice to get a relic that wasn’t a nondescript piece of canvas for a change, but I don’t think I could have gotten a worse one. No offence, but the Prime Time Players were terrible.
There was a reason they spent all that time on NXT: Redemption and why Titus never wrestlers, besides that one time he almost died slipping in Saudi, and is used mostly for outreach.
While WrestleMania 31 sounded like it should have been a banger on paper, what with Daniel Bryan winning the IC Ladder Match, HHH vs Sting (in pretty much his only WWE match), John Cena vs. Rusev in a tank, no one remembers any of that because the winner of the main event wasn’t even in the damn match.
I particularly loved how since this WrestleMania was so forgettable mostly, they did absolutely no changes to the card design between this year and the prior year, they are identical, minus some different subsets.
