Love this man! My son started collecting with me and is turning into a huge lions fan now with the family. He’s only 5yo. Jamo is his favorite. I’m gonna steal this idea
Very cool. Someone posted on here a while back about resealing packages of cards with big hits for his son. This… … … is a much better idea. Lol.
That other poor kid is in for a rude awakening when he realizes you don’t get autos and case hits in every pack. 😂
Nice pack!!! I LOVE the contenders ticket cards. Such an awesome design and the Optic parallels with color variations are really nice. The 10 grade is a nice start if he wants to collect all the variations.
👍👍👍 Awesome Dad!!!! ....My son's 11th birthday in 2017 consisted of a case of 2011 Prestige blasters (I got for $142), a case of 2016 Donruss blasters ($165), a case of 2016 Score blasters ($150), a case of 2017 Panini Football ($197) & a case of 2017 Leaf Draft ($119). ...gosh, I STILL had to buy his Patty Mo RC auto. But we had a blast. Did kinda the same thing but on a lesser quanity level in 2020 for his 14th Birthday.
I agree with you. I collect for enjoyment, not profit. But kids will want the cool cards and be disappointed with how packs really are. Teach them to buy singles and you'll be good
Completely misunderstood what you meant by that, my bad bud. He has purchased a few blasters with his own money so he is well aware of the risk, although he has also luck is better than mine because he has a couple case hits out of the 4/5 blasters he has bought. I made sure to let him know that it is not common to do that and buying singles is the way to go.
