I obviously have too much free time as I have been watching YouTube videos about the subscription card crates, Colectors Club, Dugout Crate et al.

I am curious whether any of our esteemed members have had any experiences, good or bad, with these. Some of the videos are entertaing enough and it seems there may be some decent packs in them. With the number of choices and price points available I am just wondering...might try it this fall. Any thoughts could be entertaining. Thanks.

I’ve only tried the Boombox baseball and high-end football Boombox. Baseball isn’t bad for only $30. Nothing crazy high end but decent hobby packs. High end football i really enjoy. I’ve also thought about trying the others

You're not the lone wolf, I watch videos of card crate and card shark club. Maybe tax time I'll try one, fun to watch!

I've opened a few Card Crates myself. I actually got the Home Run bonus twice. One on baseball and once on basketball. I think the Card Crate ones are a decent value overall. Also I upload videos of ripping packs almost daily. I have been slack the past two days though.

I did one a year of two ago...wasn't too happy, as it was mostly college which I have zero interest in. I have not done any since...I found out afterwards you can see what will be in the box before you commit. Had I known that I would have waited. But as it is, the box itself ended up being the most useful to me.

Seems to be a sport card thing. Do they offer these for Non-Sport somewhere? (Just wondering)

I haven't seen a Non-Sports card crate. I've seen plenty of comic, fantasy and Sci-Fi type general merchandise boxes that might sometimes include cards but I haven't seen one specifically for cards.

As to the general topic of this thread I have not tried any of these box services. I have thought about them but am not ready to pull the trigger on one. They are similar to some of those repack boxes, but with a guaranteed "bonus" card or two.

And what about WWE/Wrestling crates. I've seen some videos on youtube, but no sellers online.

Card Crate did a Star Wars card crate early on. I got one and did a video on it. Not sure if they have done it since then. 

I checked out the site and it's too pricey for my taste. But that's the price of cards these days. Besides I'm more apt to pay $25 for a box of commons and see what I find. Or even like the commons that Grote15 just gave me the other day with thousands of cards. I was able to secure about 70-80 for my personal collection, and increased my trade bait to get others. 

I did get a kick out of one of the sites, though, as they consider vintage pre-2000.
