Who Likes Sports Memorabilia Box Openings??!

I have been a LaytonSportsCards sub on youtube for awhile now, but I have never seen an opening as epic as this before! The user “BV” or Brandon, has always been a big buyer, and this is probably the BIGGEST! Keep in mind each box is around 11-12k, and he bought 5 just in this one video.
Rich from Layton Sports must have had a BLAST opening this one. Enjoy :sunglasses:

I’ve bought a few spots in their pulls. I didn’t get any amazing green bay packers cards but I got some nice ones. Thinking about doing it again.

never seen this before…can someone explain whats happening here?

how did laytonsports get this memorabilia? and how much would it all be worth?

I want answers to these too.

I don’t understand why that kind of product would be desirable, either. Sports people explain.

I didn’t get the broken bat from 2013 at all really… Like its not even old so it’s just a throwaway surely?

That too. I should clarify. I can understand why the items themselves would be desirable, but the sealed case of completely random stuff seems like it wouldn’t be worth the purchase unless you’re getting some mind blowing bargain, and then why not just buy them separately? Especially when it doesn’t even stay within the sports memorabilia field.

A lot of newer sports packs rely on memorabilia and/or the contrived short release 1/1, 1/5, 1/30 cards. The days of, 1-2 rookie cards in a set are over for sports, and are mostly replaced with memorabilia pulls. This looks like a memorabilia pack opening. Basically you buy a box of items that could be a babe ruth signed baseball, or a no name player signed ball. There is a risk involved.

I remember my only and last experience opening these boxes was with the Upper deck, The Cup boxes. I think I paid $400-500, and it contains all signatures/patch cards. The risk is that you will most likely get a no name player, but could get a rookie, star etc. Good old probability won and It was a bust.

Basically these look like memorabilia boxes.

Maybe compare it to getting in one lot a
1st Base Box
A autographed TMB name badge
A PSA 10 MCharizardEX
A valuable plush.

Now few people collect all those different types of collectibles but it would still be fun to open lots with different type items inside.

Now on a side note: These types of deals are a big time overall loser and should be avoided if money matters to you cause not all lots will have a signed George Washington document.

In order to make a profit, the store that made these had to put things that weren’t desirable really, or weren’t selling, or at least were not worth spending the money to acquire in themselves.

So why would someone buy the whole case? I get buying a pack out of a box to see if you can score the ultra rare. Or I get buying a box when you know there’s a chance at something worth more than the box price.

But a completely second-hand case like this has to be a loser financially, no?

The lebron jersey that was pulled would prob be worth around 30-40k and the Tom Brady around 20-30k just by themselves

How is there incentive for them to make such a product then?

You are absolutely overestimating how much those jerseys would go for. There is a Lebron game used jersey on eBay right now from his rookie season at 7k buy it now or best offer.

It’s easier to sell everything at once on those boxes then it would be individually I guess. Not sure really. But the “SuperBreak” is a private company that buys most of its product from collectors and distributes in their own product

I buy into these breaks fairly often. Not from these guys, but moreso from the lower cost players. I usually buy hit drafts or will pick teams I follow. I’ve been lucky with a few big hits (1k+), but overall it’s a losing game. These guys make their money bc they buy below retail usually.

Recent big hit was a 1/1 Marshawn Lynch Patch Auto from Definitive.

For me, there’s the thrill with something other than Pokemon.
