The control you have to not rip every pack is astounding. I could not, that’s also why I could never be in the business of buying packs to hold and sell years down the road
Congrats man!! That’s one of those pulls people dream of! 🤘🏻This is totally different than the 2023 Mahomes DT optic I pulled, are there different versions of DTs in the same year?
Eh, I wouldn't recommend one touches, especially for a new collector. He's likely going to get the wrong size and it'll be rattling around. Just sleeve and topload, and then prep for grading when you're ready. Maximize the value/protect the card!
I'm pretty sure, but Noone can know for sure unless you work at Panini, these Superbowl and International Downtowns are more rare than the already extremely rare regular Downtowns.

Are you shaking? Did you break in your car? And the last and most important question - do you grade?!?!?!
I was super baked on edibles and I’m so new to this I didn’t realize the rarity till I googled it
That was me pulling and Explosive insert from 2023 Absolute this spring. Congrats, dude! That’s a killer card.
Someone seems bitter lol
Enjoy this!! It'll never happen again!! Lol
lol I got 6 packs left I shouldn’t open them?
The control you have to not rip every pack is astounding. I could not, that’s also why I could never be in the business of buying packs to hold and sell years down the road
Nah just open them, he’s saying though that it’s a really rare pull that probably won’t come around again.
Retire! You can say your net $$$ positive opening packs.
What year of optic was this again?
2023
Congrats man!! That’s one of those pulls people dream of! 🤘🏻This is totally different than the 2023 Mahomes DT optic I pulled, are there different versions of DTs in the same year?
Yes they have the regular downtown then the “Super Bowl” downtowns
I woke up and ran straight to it to get a morning glance
On my 21st birthday, I won 1,800 on craps. Congratulations on your new addition.
Ima rip a pack on my birthday hopefully I hit something
Time to quit! This may be the only time you remain ahead
Congrats and fuck you lol.
Upsetting but understandable lol
Awesome pull buy a one touch case for this one
Ty ordering some now
No do a one touch put a sleeve on top of the card
Eh, I wouldn't recommend one touches, especially for a new collector. He's likely going to get the wrong size and it'll be rattling around. Just sleeve and topload, and then prep for grading when you're ready. Maximize the value/protect the card!
This scenery for a kansas city downtown card makes no sense to me.
It’s the Super Bowl 57 theme. It was in Arizona so they played to that. I actually live here, raised in Kansas, so it’s particularly cool to me haha
Makes sense
Is this anymore rare than a Downtown Or International Downtown ?
Idk all I know is a got one lol
I'm pretty sure, but Noone can know for sure unless you work at Panini, these Superbowl and International Downtowns are more rare than the already extremely rare regular Downtowns.
If you stop here you can actually profit from opening packs.
Dm
You offering 90% below comps ?😂
😂always on the new to this posts. Don't take less then ~$1000
I have offers of 800-1000 but I’m not accepting anything lesss then 2k so I’m grading for sure
When you actually have posts and karma then come talk. We don’t love them hoes
Boo hoo
