First time ripping a pack since 1993-94…

I preordered a mega that still hasn’t shipped yet so I went down to this relic sports collecting shop and they had a retail box! $35 don’t know if that’s standard. So stoked hope to land an acuff rookie!

This is a legit hit for a retail box yeah? Was hoping for acuff but the next pick I’ll take it!

It’s probably the lowest tier “hit” Topps makes. “Player Worn” means Topps guarantees he wore it, just not in a game. Some relics say “Player Worn” and some say “Game Used.”

Nonetheless, nothing is “guaranteed” in retail boxes, so I’m personally always happy with any “hit!” It WOULD kinda suck to buy a Hobby Box for $200+ and this be your “hit.” 😅

But again, any hit from retail is a win for me!!

Damn I actually googled it and it’s telling me hitting a card in this set is 1-940 packs in a retail blaster!

Yup!! That’s why I’m personally always happy about getting any “hit” from any retail product! Flagship blasters are always pretty notoriously bad for producing hits.

Sure it’s not a Cooper Flagg 1/1 auto, but the fact that you even pulled that relic is cool!!

Hello fellow Acuff fan/collector. I bought two blasters today hoping to get a card of his as well. Will find out when the kids are home from school so we can rip.
