Rookie Phenom Jersey
Baker Mayfield

The McCaffrey Pink is definitely a cool card, but I was more pleasantly surprised with the 2018 Optic Blaster. Relics aren't guaranteed in these blasters so if you're going to get one, might as well be Baker Mayfield. Also got a cool Baker insert. Remember the 17 Optic Blaster were $10 a piece so really wasn't expecting much. Definitely a fun little rip.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok so here comes the first "big break" so to speak. 12 Blasters and 24 Value Packs of 2017 Prizm Football. This might take a while. Time to go Mahomes hunting!

About what was expected from retail. Value wise not the greatest, but still a fun rip. Pulled a nice looking Mahomes rookie insert, and pulled base rookies of Watson, McCaffrey and Kamara along with a Green Parallel of Kamara.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alright since we're on the subject of Prizm, might as well rip the 2018 Mega Box Prizms from Wal Mart. I have four of them. Obviously I'm expecting points here, wouldn't be surprised if it's a 50/50 split. So here we go

Very pleasantly surprised that I didn't get any Panini Points. The Vander Esch is a SUPER solid card. Dude is a beast and I'm a HUGE Cowboys fan so very thrilled to pull it. It's the best pull so far in the early going of Cardfest. The other 3 autos aren't the greatest, but still, rather have them than points!

 

 

 

So we did the 2018 Optic Blaster earlier in the day, now we go to the Collector's Boxes. Again, hoping for nooooo Points.

Pretty Solid Break, couple more Bakers, a Saquon Dual Jersey and the Jersey Auto's weren't that bad. Mason Rudolph is intriguing as he may be next in line when Big Ben retires. All in all fun break and I'm happy with the cards.

 

 

 

 

 

I'm going to busy tonight, so that's actually going to wrap up Day 2. I felt like I knocked out a ton and although nothing mind blowing was pulled, still think I did decently overall considering we are still in the retail phase of the Cardfest. I'll be back with some more ripping tomorrow!
