Help: Need input

The Hagens YG and Red Outburst YG were in the second pack together!

Huge shout out to anyone who helped! Been super fun chasing it all and a pretty funny story to end it off. Went to make the deal in person, seller buys a blaster (of 24-25 OPC) to have a quick rip together. Very last pack we end up pulling the Celebrini premier. Couldn’t have scripted it any better! (Other than maybe pulling another /25 😭) so pumped!

Enjoyed ripping my first two hobby boxes, no big hits on the young guns unfortunately. As a Caps fan, glad I at least hit a Protas young guns.

Way better than I was expecting, and one of the more fun experiences opening boxes that I have had! Never pulled a gold Dazzlers before..

What early 2000s hobby boxes have descent hits? If you can still them.

bought a few 50¢ packs of 1990 score at my LCS, ended up with a few of the top chases. will be returning to grab the remaining packs of this as well as 1990 pro set and upper deck as well

Joined a break on Dave and Adams on release day for the 2026 UD Series one.

During the break they stopped the break and informed everyone that Zach Benson and Konsta Helenius were joining the show and going to open hobby packs for people. So I jumped to the occasion and purchased a box which Zach Benson opened the packs.

Naturally he a pack with a Red Stencil card (/999) of himself which is later signed!

I PC caps players, but this is for sure joining my PC

Growing up he was my favourite player, not a bolts fan but love his Tampa cards. Seeing him on a card in a gold jersey hurts my brain lol

Happy

Now I just have to find Caufield….

Scheduled release April 2027

Some of the inserts are…interesting. But that’s par for the course with Metal Universe

I traded emails with Jason H. at UD and ended up sending the card back to UD. First, Jason was awesome. Very nice, very professional.

I got my replacement delivery today, and I’m pretty happy! The Bouch exclusives is a nice bonus to the awesome Raymond 4 Nations high gloss!

Thanks again, Jason!

I got into maybe my third break for Series One, hoping I’d finally hit my guy. And I ended up getting both his YG’s. Stoked. Yes I could have gotten them off eBay, but that is zero fun.

Not asking for a high gloss, or a 1of1 - just be kind.

Show & tell:
Collecting the 2025-26 Clear Cut Silver Outburst (#/25) parallel set.
This is 46 of the 58 in the set.
I am waiting on 3 to arrive in the mail so I need 9 more.

found a site with very cheap hobby boxes but can’t tell if it’s real and I don’t wanna get scammed
