Thanks Chris!! I’ve already made every mistake in the book lol so I wanna help people as much as I can

Always great to see a box rip and to make it a challenge is the icing on top. I am still waiting for my pre-ordered Mega Boxes, while I watch everyone else rip open boxes, LOL! I may have to stop by a store to see if there are any left.

I ran into these at target!

The one thing I can say about Megan’s is that they are built like tanks. If the card is centered and no scratches, it’s probably a 10 as the corners are solid. Thanks for sharing!

Appreciate the insight on megas. I did pre-order one and ripped it today. Good to know I’m not missing out leaving it at the one. Did get a Nimmala mojo and a Jenkins chrome out of it though!

Thank you!

I did three megas from Target, and two of the boxes had hits - a Celesten /299 and Max Clark insert /99. Plus an Elly mojo rookie. So, I think I fared pretty well. While I agree the price point is too high ($30-35 would be about right), you are effectively guaranteed 10 parallels in the mega box… though the base mojo’s are a “parallel” to the same extent, maybe less, than the lunar glow. Blasters should be $5-7 less in my opinion. Ultimately, every rip is a gamble, regardless of format, and one shouldn’t expect to get his money back from most boxes. Thanks for ripping and sharing.

Good points man! The one nice thing about mojos is they hold their value for a while, we won’t see a big pricing drop off until series 2 of Topps is in full swing. But yeah I think you did really well with your haul

I got a Paul skeins out of the four packs

I tried one of the bowman mega. 4 solid rookies out of those MOJO packs. Also 1 number 1st prospect

I wish I saw this video earlier. Best card I got out of my mega was a Holliday refractor that Im guessing might be worth a dollar. Megas seem to be a waste in every sport, even hangers are better.

Did Bowman Mega Boxes bc my kid wanted to see them. Got a /199 Power up. Nothing else colored. I just go off lists of who people say is really good. Prospects are not my thing and I just know better. I did really enjoy Platinum Anniversary. Beautiful cards. I mean beautiful. Got a case of 2023 Series 1 hangers. At literally $5 per hanger, I think it's worth it.

I completely agree on blasters over megas for Bowman baseball. Got back in a few years ago and although I had solid luck on megas I would highly recommend blasters over megas mainly because you can't pull numbered or autos in the base packs with megas. The mojos are cool and fun but blasters have the better potential and bang for the buck

Value wise it’s tough to sell mojo autos because they don’t have the 1st logo .. Bowman should correct that .. collectors want the 1st logo for prospects .. blasters are better for prospects and Megas imo are better for rookie cards
