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. . .
One last box break redo to go though before I move onto a long stretch of completely new boxes to open. Last time I opened one of these WWE Women’s Division boxes, my autograph wasn’t even a wrestler, so the bar here is pretty low.
Out here trying to finish the Trish and Lita subset only found in these Blaster Boxes. Came up a little short even after two boxes. But I did get a very odd insert. Not as odd as that crazy trophy, but odd none the less. . .
No Pogs this time around, but I take another shot at these baseball styled WWE cards, and get my worst shirt relic yet. Can’t be getting those kiss cards if you aren’t out there trying.
Here I take another stab at one of these hanger packs. Hopefully it’s a little better than the first time, since that was only my second unboxing ever nearly a year ago. Still no inserts since it’s just a pack, but you don’t get those kiss cards if you ain’t our here putting in the work.

Topps Best of WWE 2013 Blaster Box Break
Finally we hit what in my mind was peek modern WWE, in this Best of 2013 set. I’m probably biased since I actually went to WrestleMania 29 in 2013. While this is one of the few sets they were options for that we’ve opened so far, but no insert from either CM Punk or AJ Lee, my two favorite wrestlers. And so the search goes on. . .

Saturday Seven – Modern Christmas Songs
I have been holding onto this list for like 5 years. It’s always been in the hopper, it just never got done. But with Christmas being on a Sunday this year, I don’t think I’m ever going to get a better year to actually pull the trigger and do the damn thing, so here we go. And because I’m indecisive and that’s part of why this took so long, I just went ahead and made it supersized, like an old school episode of The Office, and bumped it up from 6 songs to 7. As you can see, my concept of Christmas was formed watching MTV in about 1987.

Topps Finest 2021 WWE Hobby Box Break
This was one of the very last WWE sets Topps made. Was it their finest? Probably not, but I did get my finest autograph yet besides that 1/1 printing plate. Sure I finally got a multi-autographed card, but they also doubled up and the other autograph in the box was one of those three signatures. It’s like rain, on your wedding day.
