Can You Make Money Buying Retail Sports Cards? 

The expected return from retail boxes is quite literally somewhere around -90% lol

The best part of collecting/hunting is how much fun you have while ripping/doing it.

Not ONE Female has ever entered that House 100%

That is exactly how all the stores around me look like when I check for boxes.

Rips like these are fun. Do more guys. 🙌🙌🙌

The answer is yes but only if you buy One Piece at retail.

I live in Oakland and you need to check the Barnes & Noble stores. They usually have their boxes behind the cash register.

When I was using Fetty. I would boost baseball cards for this dude that would buy each box for 20$ . I started wondering how he was able to pay me so good. So here I am now , clean trying to learn the ways....

Exciting hunt! Hope you had fun uncovering those retail boxes. Rips like these are a blast. Keep it up, guys!

Family Dollar has 5 card Panini Hoops packs with Yellow parallel guaranteed. Pulled a Wembie base tribute rookie, a bunch of relevant yellow RCs and a yellow Curry base off roughly $25. Should have just bought the whole gravity feed.

the uplifting music when you found the 2 monopolys was hilarious

Did you try the Walmart in American Canyon? The last time I was there was several months ago, but at the time it was mostly baseball and football...so it's been a while.

Back in 2020 during COVID boom and when retail was cheaper. You could make profit ripping because even base lamelo rookie was selling for like a $25 for donruss and $100+ prizm.

Awesome genuine reactions from everyone. Great idea for a video!

Gotta hit Barnes and nobles, but sometimes they only allow one pack or box per customer. They’re pretty stocked on all sports though

A breaker on Tik Tok opened like ten cases and the pattern to look for in finding the Wemby rookie is that Klay Thompson will always appear first

Can’t wait 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Great video man

Hey will this be available on whatnot?

will everything be available on whatnot? j/k, fun vid

I watched a lot of unpacking, it seems like everyone is pulling Wemby RC including me. How many did Panini printed?

I bought 2 topps retail boxes 2024. I pulled foil Domingues, foil acuna and multiple Henry David. Second box was acuna 2024, volpe, Corbin carrol trophy and trout /999 So I ended up up +$55 lol. I’m going to see if I can trade those for Kobe, charizard, or jordan cards. Maybe some cash on top.

Last month, I pulled a wenby deep space prizm. I feel like you have better chances with baseball.

Love the energy on the 15 dollar card 😂

From what I hear is that monopoly prizm had its last cycle so good luck when finding it because the actual board game is where you’ll find the packs at

The we r home honey got me laughing 😂

Thanks for the Whatnot credit cant wait to watch yall. Your vids have helped me navigate selling cards, best in the game you are!

Target sometimes puts cards in the toys section most my targets have them in the toy section in the back

My best retail pull was from a degen rip from walgrens 7.99 baseball packs, i end up pulling vladdy gurrero jr rookie auto prizm /100!😂 i was losing my mind 😂

Is center stage good because sometimes base cards have more than one value and also un updated comps

Great video! 🤩👌🏼 I gotta try out those Monopoly Prizm next time! 🔥🔥🔥

Don’t forget Barnes & Noble bookstore too for boxes

Super fun video, Troy. Love it.

We to walmart yesterday it was stocked bought 2 megas and 4 blasters of prizm basketball pulled a wemby ice wemby silver and amen thompson silver

Wow, the excitement.

That first box of Prizm was crazy. You would have made better profit if that was the only box you had bought.

I just got off of work... From Target and now I'm here lmao 🤣

Check Barnes and Nobles

The hollering was interesting. If there were a mouse, shut it down. Let's go!

Same as playing lottery but at least with cards you get some sort of return back even if it’s a few $, lotto you lose you lose

Bro that’s how it looks at all the targets and Walmarts in L.A 😢😂😂

Me - that sold over 4,000 Topps Series 1 cards on Ebay - laughing at what you think those cards were going to sell for. The Heavy Lumber was the only card you'd make over $1 on. Stars of the MLB are inserts we give away to kids for free. Interesting on the Monopoly cards though. We have STACKS of them at Target here and no one buys them, but no baseball cards.

Have you? Tried flying into Canada. They're Meyers, has a 1000 foot long card area in Ontario. They sell all boxes for $5.I went up there and got ten thousand blaster boxes from one store

I just use the scales in self checkout at Walmart.

Pull an ebay listing at 45 with free shipping means about 35 after fees. Dont listen to that BS folks. They would make about $5 on these if they sold just the boxes.

I just recently got into sports cards, why are retail boxes so frowned upon? do you just not get crazy hits or something? If I shouldn't get retail boxes then what should I get?

Feels like UFC cards at the moment have the best odds at making your money back.

Great vid , keep it up!

Multiple stores and no sports cards, welcome to every day of my life. If you don’t catch it the day of the restock you are done.

Ripping retail is fun, but absolutely the easiest way to LOSE money, not make money.

Barnes and nobles is a sleeper for cards they have them behind the counter

Nice pulls!

Interesting all the RCs were in the same monopoly box

I love how you pull a card worth $25 and go crazy... bro you get better returns out if polemon cards than that 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

I pulled 3 purple wave wimbys out of 5 boxes

That textured card is a case hit I believe

my targets and walmarts are stocked with boxes of sports cards.. they just sit… dont move.. there are even boxes from like 2022 on the shelf… I do not see any modern retail boxes worth the retail price.. i check ebay.. the last sold is like the price os the store price.. which means a 10 percent loss with ebay fees… I think card manufactures have a big problem with retail going forward unless they make some changes...

I always go to my local fred myers ! Always got the stuff

Good stuff, I guess retail does pay. Lol

Ask target if they have them in back I do and they have them alot

Retail card hunting in CA - ruff

Heavy Lumber is technically a Case Hit

Obviously ripping is all about luck, and you guys had Leprechauns falling out your butts. Congrats. Because retail tends not to have guaranteed hits like hobby, which products you choose matter a lot if you are trying to maximize ROI.

Nice rip! 👍

Are the cards you ripped gonna be on sale in your whatnot?

I like this squad lol good bros

Most interesting 🎉

This rip is lit lol the homies! The video is over!! Lmao

great show

please help 2024 topps need 20 base cards to complete set

Welcome to my world of retail hunting! If you don't know the restockers schedule you won't find anything good. Resellers hoard it all!

Try the WWE Chronicles blaster

My stores are mostly stocked but I rip for fun , not really to make cash.

You will get $10 for those monopoly cards

Your better off opening the boxes or just buying the cards you want

You failed to answer the question you posed in the title within this video. That's a big fail.

I hope the guy who hid those 2 Monopoly blasters sees this video. Punk! Lol

LETS GO!!!!

griddy mojo

You guyys are joking right ??? These Walmart's and target stores always got regular reseller come to buy. They know exactly what time and date vendor stock these sporting cards....If you are not lucky you come to exact date they stock their inventories. Mostly you guys have no chance to buy good boxes

Talk about a horseshoe lol .. I've bought 5 boxes of monopoly, not even a wemby base, and no cards worth more than $2.. i think this product is an L.. Much cheaper just to buy the parallel you want

Why the hell are they screaming over a 5$ lebron😂

Bro how tall are you? Real question lol

These guys all future 40 year old virgins for certain!

Dam my guy to much lol 🐐🏆😎

I'm so glad you guys are teaming up. This is quality content. 'it's like the smallest target'... bigger than the biggest store we have in Belgium

💯✌🏾

Its like gambling

Strong virgin vibes going on here.

I went to target and they didn’t have them on shelf’s so I asked a guy and he looked in the back and brought me boxes I asked for 5 and got them

You're part of the problem. Only buying that stuff to make money instead of actually enjoying the hobby.

Rather buy crypto

Yeah you can make money selling cards but honestly you make way more money when you can cook rock. Not enough? Wrangle some lizards...some lot lizards that is. You ever heard the saying "anything easy is not worth doing" well I counter that saying with one of my own "Pimpin ain't easy" because it ain't G but it's worth it you'll be financially secure and hey when the time comes Rose will show you how to trade rollies for Ramen because county food can be a mf....Also first dude over 6'5 you see just clock that mf closed fist that'll let everyone know you don't F around and believe me bro you don't want people thinking you F around they'll try to get your butt.

MOST DEFINITELY WILL NOT MAKE A PROFIT. RETAIL SUCKS ASS!

Striking out is obviously something you guys are used to. Nerds

My god no LOL

Just to sum up, you lost money 3 out of 4 times

Cmon meng too much editing with this sheeet bruh. Feel scripted AF. 🤦‍♂️

First

Bro the whole point of your video was to see if there was profit in retai? You guys didn't even stay on topic throughout the video your off ice no one cares about! You never mentioned how much you spent or in end how much was made??? In your own word and I quote, "I wanna break down the math and see what we actually do!" Waste of 13 mins of my life 😂😅

Manipulation at its finest..buy singles people
