I try to put a video up daily on YouTube of opening at least a pack of cards a day. I am currently up to #129. I do on occasion miss a day here and there. If you guys don't mind I'll share the links to the video in this thread. I open vintage and new stuff from most sports and some non sport as well. 

Here is video #129

Here is the playlist for all my pack opening videos for this year so far.

I thought it was "a pack a day", not a blaster a day! Decent break. I'd much rather see a blaster break than a single pack anyway.

I'm going to Target in about 16 hours to spend my b-day gift cards so I'll definitely have at least one blaster to bust Saturday night. I don't know what it will be though. Just depends on what's in stock.

Good to see you here Ben!

Sometimes you can't just open one. LOL

Thanks man

Today I open a Bowman Platinum Mega box. Got some nice ones here.

I can NEVER just open one pack! Even if I buy a blaster that is only one pack, I'll buy something else to open too.

I had a bit of a dilemma at Target last night. Since they re-did almost the entire store, it took me forever to find most of the things I went in there to get. Cards were still in the same place, but they replaced half of the aisle with gift cards for other stores! Sports cards got cut down to a single 4-foot section. The TCG card section stayed the same size but moved to the other side of sports cards. So the selection of sports cards pretty much sucked. No Racing cards at all (or NHL). NBA had one brand of blasters and a few re-packs. MLB only had 2 choices that weren't repacks. NFL had Prestige blasters and mega boxes, Classics blasters, and 1 other brand of blasters. All of the hanger packs were the same as the blasters. I was tempted by the single blaster of Stadium Club MLB cards, but went with a Prestige NFL blaster instead. That was mostly b/c I picked up a re-pack of MLB cards that was 250 cards plus 2 packs of Topps flagship cards. They didn't have those re-packs for football. Target did have several MLB complete sets, but I never buy those anyway.

In the end, I opened 2 MLB packs and went through another 250 single cards tonight (from 1982-2016). Plus, I also opened all 8 packs of the NFL 2018 Prestige blaster. It was fun and I still have a way to go with them. Everything is opened, viewed and sorted, but I still have to catalogue all of the cards. More fun left to have now.

I'm going to stop now to watch your break video.

Another nice break. I've liked the Platinum cards (Bowman and Topps) for many years now. I'd love to acquire those STL Cardinals you pulled, but I have none of your missing McGriff cards. What else do you collect, if anything? You should add some Favorites to your Profile page.

I'm sure we can do something. I am still getting my collection and what I need listed on here. Besides McGriff I collect a few other guys. Orel Hershiser, Heath Bell, Deion Sanders and Jim McMahon. I have my wantlists and all done for these now. I also have a side collection of guys with Martin for the last name. Lastly I work on Cubs team sets. So I guess I cover a lot of ground.
