Just out of curiosity, what is it that folks don't like about him? My son and I watch some of his videos. He doesn't seem to know a lot about vintage and is more into modern. He seems to get super excited about low grade vintage stuff that is more or less common.

Same. I have just watched his vintage breaks. Doesn�t seem to be any more annoying than a lot of the other guys 🤣

I�ve never watched nor do I watch any of these influencers but I do hear stories. I think it�s ethical with this guy Is to why people don�t like him. He had a big public divorce, said he had cancer etc. I heard he tries to use these things for monetary advantages. He wanted money back on that box from the video and cried until he got. These are just the commonly known stories. If the man is really sick and down I feel bad for him but I haven�t heard much positive things. I just don�t watch those things. I guess I�m too old for that kinda stuff.

No clue about 90% of this re this guy. But from what I remember from the video, he bought it from BBCE, set up a break and sold spots. He gave all the people their money back. No idea what that wax box must have cost, but if I paid bbce pricing for that and it came back water/moisture damaged that bad, I�d probably bitch too.

Beautiful pack. Seems almost a crime to rip it.

If you're ripping it, you gotta be filming it!! Nothing else will do. Get it on tape for posterity (and, of course, for your fellow members to totally enjoy). Please.

I've heard the stories, but in terms of actually watching his breaks, they can be fun - but I only watch the vintage stuff. He gets a little too excitable for my tastes some times.

A low point was when he busted a box of 1979 Topps from BBCE. After the first dozen or so packs, it was clear that he got a lemon - all the cards are from a single printing sheet that had only Robin Yount, no other starts, or even any team cards, checklists, leaders, record breakers, etc. And it was clear from printing defects that all 500+ cards came from the same few sheets.

His viewers whined about it obviously being a searched box, when it obviously wasn't. They were up in arms about his right to a refund, searched box or not, and he did eventually get something.

I commented on the video that had he gotten a box consisting only of cards from the Ozzie Smith sheet, and wound up with 5 or 6 mint Ozzies, no one would be suggesting he owed BBCE exchange anything, but it didn't seem to dim peoples' sense (including his own) that he was somehow entitled to something.

I will admit these sorts of videos do irritate me in the sense they help turn the hobby into a lottery. I watched him break a 2011 Topps Update looking for the Trout. Having opened a number of Topps jumbo boxes I knew for a fact he would be getting the whole set, including the Trout, but it took him until the the second half of the final pack - I have to say I was rooting for him to come away empty handed. Was that bad of me?

Hi Ryan, if I were in your shoes, I would not open it. There is a chance that 3-5 of the 8 cards could be damaged by the gum soaking through the cards. Jabs broke a 2nd Series wax box and all of those packs had the gum bleed through half of the cards.

I would guess that your pack is a "2nd Series" pack with cards #264-525. This is the series that has the Clemente and Aaron. If you do decide to open it, I would be interested in buying the singles because I am actively working on this set.
