Box & Case Breaks: 3 Cello Boxes and 1 Hobby Case of 2018-19 Optic Basketball

Like I stated yesterday, last week I got a case of 18-19 Optic in, but also happened to get big time sick (still recovering, but better) so I stopped busting 8 boxes in. This week I happened to get 3 Cello Boxes of Optic Retail as well, so I'll combine both breaks into one post. First The Cello Boxes.

150 Panini Points

Overall Thoughts: Yup..sucked. This was terrible. Even with the supposed "production cut" I managed to find 3 pretty mediocre boxes. Very Disappointed. Of course I get 150 Panini Points to add salt to the wound. Just gross. Here's pic of the "better cards" I guess you can say






And now on to the case..unfortunately I am already 8 boxes in and it's been pretty crappy overall (of course it has) I'm hoping to the last 4 boxes can make up for it.

I'm not even gonna show pictures..I'm just wanna finish the post and be done with it. This was LAUGHABLY BAD AND FUCK PANINI FOR THE WORST CASE OF OPTIC I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. SERIOUSLY..THIS WAS A CLOWN SHOW OF EPIC PROPORTIONS. I GOT 1 GOLD BASE CARD (FUCKING TREVOR ARIZA) I GOT ZERO DECENT SILVER ROOKIES..3 DEANDRE JORDAN ORANGE..AND THE TOPPER..A 1/1 OF SOME FUCK WHO WON'T SNIFF THE LEAGUE IN THE VERY LAST BOX I OPENED OF THIS SHIT and he's a rookie for the MAVS LIKE LUKA! AHAHAHHAAH YOU CAN'T WRITE IT....WHAT A FUCKING KICK TO THE NUTS. I'm beyond fucking pissed off. Panini should be ASHAMED for such a crappy ass case. I have nothing else to say...beyond fuming

    1. I don't mind losing on cases,Fuji, not in the least, but there's zero excuse for a case to cost $1,000+ and deliver less than like $250 worth of cards. No excuse for it, when it seems Panini intentionally loads some cases of this stuff and gives other collectors complete bloodbaths. No middle ground. It's things like this, when they are soooo beyond awful that makes me question why I'm in this hobby. Very disappointed, but Panini could care less.

    2. I hear ya. A 25% (or less) return is ridiculous. If Panini intentionally loads certain cases, then the system is flawed from the source.

    3. Yeah..if you go to blowout you'll see multiple posts on how some cases yielded multiple gold and green cards..great color autos and more. Then you get mine where i get one gold crappy vet..one gold crappy vet auto and the WORST #1/1 on the entire checklist. The discrenpancy is ridiculous
