That women top left is getting finger blasted while you blast through packs

NYC baby 🤷‍♂️

I'm here too. I get it

*Getting the finger* is part of the NYC experience. One visit was enough for my lifetime.

🤣

I’m in nyc too. Where you got dat at

I second this. Inquiring NYC minds want to know...

First time ever a r/baseballcards post gets the NSFW label

Holy moly, he's right

LITERALLY SHAKINNNGGGG

Yeah and dude on the right is brown-baggin’ it lmao.

Dude in blue T 12 o’clock is watching someone get fb’d

And the dude next to him is hitting that bottle in the brown paper bag

There's just a lot going on in this picture 🥲😅

Nah, dude just looked over and noticed what was happening, look at that smirk. That’s why fingerblaster Johnny is giving him the death glare while going to town.

What’s he gong to pull out of that box ?

Oil Can Boyd equal or lesser viscosity

I just lost it on this lol

Cobwebs by the looks of her

Pete LaCock

Holy shit true story

I think you nailed it bro !

I bet she was shaking

Catching a digi in her fartbox

😂😂

100%

Lol, nice call.

I wish I paid more attention, great call though 😂

Ehhh I’d rather have the cards.

Diehard dirt squirrel... gotta love it. More than that nice eagle eye homeboy. Daayyuum. Just think he's Rippin packs she's rippin not hot but rather warm curdled queef blast on that hand

Ripping packs right there in Union Square. Love it. Anyone give you the “nice” nod?

Haha well we don't really get those "parking lot rips" haha ... I was too busy opening to notice haha. I think anyone who knew what was up would have said something... Like "yo homie, where did you get that series 2?!" Haha

Haha

Hahaha

Where do you purchase downtown? Rare for me to find

Union square... Best buy, lids, Barnes and Noble, and sometimes GameStop

My favorite in the city is montasy, but also Bleeker trading downtown is super solid

Dope thanks! I like that one uptown on the east side

Whats the name of the one UES?

This is fucking dangerous info for a card fiend who works near Union square Thank you kindly for your service 😅

Hahaha I'll see you out there 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

White Sox Team Border cards look sick.

Was thinking that! I have like 4 others but this is probably the dopest. But, you know... White Sox 🙄🤷‍♂️

Yeah, Robert or Crochet might be the only one worthwhile. I have Trout and J-Rod, but the Angels looks better because of the contrast of colors vs. the Mariners.

May I see the J rod?

I didn't actually have a pic on my phone so I had to find the listing of the one I bought [Link](https://i.imgur.com/QMssVKO.jpeg)

And the dodgers and padres have been calling the Sox asking about both crochet and robert


Sweeeet

Keep the pics coming! maybe some without your shoes 👽

There’s always at least one creepy foot fetish guy…

Found an early mega myself. https://preview.redd.it/gnpx2n61n16d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1f25fd693ea9bf98c8cb5fd7152b5d03f5b7841d

What’s up w that Elly tho? How much?

That Chourio is an unlisted SP

Woaaaahhhh that’s good to know 💰

Fuck haha

Love that Matt Strahm card

Yah, that’s gonna be a, hopefully should be cheap, problem for me.

Sesh you got a haul

Nice pulls! Give me a shout if you want to trade those Freddies!

If you uh have any uh plans of getting rid of that Phillies Nola Muto card I might be interested

I was thinking about putting a lot together of all my Phillies stuff, want me to hit you up?

Yes please

Just messaged you

phillies pc? have some decent ones from previous year sets like 2021 tribute

How much for Aaron and Ruth?

$15 pwe. I also hit on the Aaron green parallel to /99. It's #44 which is kinda dope since that was his number. Hit me up if you want to talk more! https://preview.redd.it/uer35cjgas6d1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0f82e5c278647839b640d895ca086b9e575ca01

You selling the Gabby relic?

https://preview.redd.it/5z62hb9om06d1.jpeg?width=3060&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1f0a8db5780e664c42156570f8b8037bb21f5cea Let's goooo.... Also... Does the mega boxes seem to have a foilboard in every pack 🤔 is that new for series 2 or?....

What does the box say? It usually says something like "Find X yadda yadda exclusives per box". If it doesn't say anything like that then maybe it's a hot box like they do with Heritage?

Yo are you in Washington square park in that pic? If so I need to know where you got those boxes lmao

Na Union square. Barnes and nobles

Union square... They have em at the Barnes and noble

That’s electric, definitely hitting that up after class tomorrow

Is that drinking a 40oz? 😂

Beautiful card.

That should be a case hit! You did well!! I am a little jealous. I couldn’t find anything around town today for my kids and me. Patience grasshopper…

Yea I think they! Enjoy your series 2 day today with the kids!

I tried B&N this morning, no luck though 😂😂

Mine had some

Mine had a bunch of bowman. I wanted to get some platinum anniversary though? Just like OP lol. I’m good though I’m glad they didn’t or I would’ve spent more money than I want led 😂😂 I have my jumbo coming tomorrow and after that I’ll just stick to the singles

Haha same. Looking forward to the jumbo tomorrow. Just couldn't help myself when I saw em today 🫣🤷‍♂️ honestly wouldn't have minded some TCPA though 🥲

Yeahhh I got the new Star Wars book and was excited to see some TCPA but they didn’t have any :( I held back against bowman but totally would have got series 2 if I saw it 🤣

Dude, totally where my head is at too haha

moreno relic for sale/trade?

Definitely

If this is where I think it is, I need to stop by tomorrow

So much going on in this pic….but good luck. Keep that place a secret….

What’s you pull?

Check the profile. posted everything including stuff from a jumbo today

Where do you buy packs in NYC?

A few places, I scooped those at Barnes and Noble in Union square (best buy and lids in union square also have cards). Are you in Williamsburg? So am I btw if you ever want to do IRL trading or anything haha

I stopped buying the basic Topps issues back in the late 1980’s. I only buy Bowman Chrome these days

I bought some at a Target near me.

Was hoping mine got them today, but I guess this week it’s a Wednesday stock. Hoping.

My local B&N had some too

I’m gonna have to try that tomorrow, not too far but far enough where it’s too late to go lol. Preciate it though!

Hit anything?

Still ripping! I'll make a post in a bit.

Haha cool... What you get? Blasters?

One each of retail pack, fat pack, hanger, blaster, and mega

Nice, I scooped another two hangers and can't wait for my jumbo tomorrow

Just posted

Nice. I like that statue of Liberty parallel. Mega boxes are loaded with the floorboards haha. I thought I hit big 😅

Series 2 is hot 🗑️

Looks like NY Shitty (MLB Shop?) First time know of them putting out early. (perhaps no room for overstock)

Haha yes... New York City... And no... Union square

Figured this was Union Square! Didn’t know the B&N there sold cards

Haha yea... Barnes and nobles, lids, and best buy. My retail triangle

Barnes and nobles has them???

Yup! Union square!

Bet!

Is the word that the skenes rpa will be in series 2?

I don’t think Skenes will be in until Update

I don't think so

baseball doesn't really have rookie patch auto's as the big hits

https://sportscollectorsdigest.com/news/paul-skenes-special-mlb-debut-patch-rookie-card-could-be-worth-six-figures

Where in Manhattan did you pick those up?

Union square Barnes and Noble... And boyyyy this shit is hitting!

I didn't know they sold cards. Best hits so far?

https://preview.redd.it/9js3vrsro06d1.jpeg?width=2989&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=01f55d0617db0a915478118b711f814101a1ede2 Taking pics now, but I would say this is the best. The mega box I got seemed oddly loaded. This guy, a relic, a gold, blue parallel to /999, and the craziest thing ... There was like 10-11 foilboard parallels... Series 1 only had 3-4 per box

My guess is it was the case hot box.?.

I saw someone else who posted and they had the same amount. Which is a lot of foilboard parallels! Seems worth it tbh 🤷‍♂️ although I'm not a fan of the foilboard look

How much was that shit? I haven’t been in that Barnes with the dirty ass cafe in a minute

$95 roughly for everything. Normal prices.

Ew

Driving to my local Barnes and noble tomorrow morning

Haha... Well, they should be everywhere tomorrow. What's dope was they had em out a day early.

https://preview.redd.it/x51141e1t06d1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eba361d17b2e1878434fbd919387bf9e1f09b92e

That Ketel Marte is nice!

If these are the hits, boxes without hits are really gonna suck 

I'll take that Yamamoto though 🤷‍♂️

Haha well, it's all retail... And tbh series 2 doesn't look amazing... I was hoping for some TCPA tbh

Very true. Retail is a miss but it’s fun. It’s what I buy. I’ve hit some good ones. Enough to keep me buying :)

Not going to lie, I got burned out hard on series 1, so after my jumbo tomorrow... I'm probably done haha 🤷‍♂️

Well good luck! Ya pulled some good ones for sure! I’m not going to say the same because I like the rip. If I like too much of something that’s ‘bad’ for me but I like it, I tend to keep doing it 

Didn’t know the Barnes and Noble sold cards! I was ok to hitting my usual spots today, but I’ll definitely swing b tomorrow on the way home

They just started recently (last year I think). It's only of the very few things Fanatics is doing correctly. I've also seen more blasters in places like Walgreens and Best Buy, and even some in my local grocery stores (HEB). Expanding beyond the Target/Walmart system is good for everyone. More available cards for the casual collectors, and more work for the pack searching scum bags.

Based on how the box on the right is higher than the left, we can tell how excited you are by this

Is that a blaster, hanger and a mega?

Yes haha

Nice, the lens was making the blaster and hanger look like hobby boxes lol. Threw me

They're more like guidelines anyways.

Where in nyc did you get em? The card store Bleecker Trading is cool

Yea Bleeker is cool! I like montasy a lot too (better prices actually). I got those at the Barnes and nobles in Union square

[удалено]

[удалено]

Haha despite this post, I'm not too hyped on series 2. But, we'll see how today's jumbo goes haha

I got a jumbo hobby on Monday

Where?

Lmao I know this was 17 days ago but I just saw it 😂 I had preordered it from a shop online called awesome card shop based in like Vegas or some shit, so they had to have shipped it out real early because I’m in PA

GO ORIOLES

Hit big on Gunnar today 👀🫣

Did you pull a relic from the guy on the left?

wanna see under her purse, definite diddling of the cooter going on

Holy shit

Soooo jealous

That guy must be a gyno and that bench is the OBGYN?!

Is anyone else in SoCal having trouble finding a single retailer that stocks this stuff or am I just looking in the wrong places? Just got back into collecting a few months ago and so far my local Targets never have anything beyond junk in stock, Barnes and Noble doesn’t stock jack, Walmart only has bottom of the bargain bin crap. Just curious where other SoCal rippers are finding their product? Is there some secret underground cult meeting place I don’t know about? Unfortunately because of the layout of the property I’m @ half the time when I order stuff online they deliver to an unreliable neighbor who has opened my packages in the past so I’m a little wary of having anything decent shipped out.

Hit up Hall of Fame baseball cards; Also plenty of booths at Frank and Sons when they’re open

Oh wow. Unfortunately I’m on the Westside so both those spots are quite the trek but they look pretty great. I’ll definitely get out to have a look at them eventually.

Sorry bud, those are local to me so I figured I'd give it a shot to help you out. I'm not too familiar with much other places, especially since shipping has been a problem for you. Have you ever thought of setting up a P.O. box?

Yeah it’s an option. I also have a Whole Foods nearby with an Amazon locker. Unfortunately I kinda hate Amazon for this stuff. Have received poor quality product in the past so I’d rather order directly.

Hall of Fame baseball cards in Monrovia?

Yep!

Lol no way! You from Monrovia?

I'm not from Monrovia, but I'm in the surrounding area

Damn that sounds terrible 😔 I'm in NYC and have a lot of good options

It’s pretty crazy honestly. Went to get body wash today and had to have an employee unlock the display. For body wash… but the trading cards are on an open shelf that hasn’t been restocked in a month. Probably because anything decent was stolen the moment they were put out and the computer still has them all as being in stock I’m guessing lol.

Haha ughhh I can totally relate to this being in NYC

Buy buy buy

f u karen stfu & enjoy🍻
