First Buzz: 2023 Donruss Optic football cards

[abovethesink]

I haven't bought into a break in months and months. Does Layton usually not have breaks up for a product three days before release? Nothing for Optic yet. I guess they probably have a presence at the national but I'd think Optic would be a huge one for them.

product now pushed to Friday 8/2

Finally something real to watch regarding the Hobby Mega boxes (not to be confused w/ retail megas)

It's just too bad I can't share the actual vid bc of the user's settings

Downtown pulled @ 52:55:00

Overall not a bad break^^, I guess

Not really sure about the jacked-up cost on these tho.

And it looks like it's a 10% chance of hitting a Stroud base per box.

I'm still on the fence w/ opening mine or just flipping quickly for more marvel platinum

Decisions...

[abovethesink]

I see Blowout and DA still have hobby listed as 7/31. I wonder if they will ship out tomorrow or if they will have to delay. I have a pre-order on Dave and Adam's.

I’m seeing a FOTL case opened that has 20 downtowns in it! Someone posted in the Sports Cards Nonsense on Facebook!

Are downtowns rare?

They used to be rare-ish, at least for Donruss (which i think look much better than Lazer). Say 2-300. Optics were around 2-3x that a couple years ago so say 6-800, not really rare. I guess this is the makeup for no good autos. Optic going to pump out 1k+ this year if what the above said is true.

[Grave252]

Yeah - at least three breakers had cases with 20+ today it looked like. And they weren't all base DT's, plenty of gold, black pandora, etc. Either a huge packout screw up, or by design in a few cases because they knew it would go viral and people would scoop up the product (even though hobby will look nothing like FOTL).

I would bet that this is collation issue and many, many cases that come out in the next few weeks will not have any.

These FOTL boxes are loaded. I'm in a break now for the first time in forever. 6 boxes in, 4 DTs including a Black Pandora. Hype is real.

The top 4 boxes of the case had the DTs. I made out well for. JAGS break but many massive hits I'll be In another because the International DTs are sick. Something went wrong on these boxes though as they are extremely loaded. But I've also seen single loose boxes which are Prizm level bad return. Will update after 2nd case. Only doing because Optic is my favorite set.

Define dusted. You decide to post on this specific thread and yet it's better than most. Pruzm or Select will wreck you worse.

They're all terrible. But hey, we only see the hits so I guess its awesome

That's not true at all. Acknowledge which yield more or less. Always Prizm is the worst. This year it so happens Optic gives more. See the hits? What does that even mean? I signed into a break because it's my favorite set. My 'hits' were numbered lawrence, Holo Bigsby auto, purple stars /15 Harrisoon and various aqua
Not a moneymaker but not the point. Doomsayers corrode everything

[kipgen]

It's cool that the big hits are more common but doesn't that bring their value down a bit outside the serialized versions?

[bryanscs]

VIP Rips just had a 26 Downtown FOTL case.
We The Hobby had 11 Downtowns half case.
Mitch's Box Breaks had 15 Downtowns
LuckBox Sports Cards had 21 Downtowns
