All times depending on time zones: 8:30 PM EST, 7:30 PM CST, 6:30 PM MST, 5:30 PM PST, 4:30 PM AST, 2:30 PM HST

Virtual Rip Night

Show up on the scheduled date and time with whatever you'd like to rip! Each round, everyone opens one pack, and then we take turns showing off our hits. We've seen everything from autographs and numbered cards to image variations and other awesome pulls. Some people bring boxes to rip, others just a few packs, and we've even had members join just to hang out and chat. The member who rips the best card is assigned the special user flair "Hit of the Night" These nights usually last around 2 hours, but you're welcome to come and go whenever you need.

October 11, 2026 @ 8:30PM EST

October 25, 2026 @ 8:30PM EST (Retro rip night)

Pack War Night (Bowman Chrome Mega)

Pack Wars are a little more structured but just as much fun! Everyone buys the same product ahead of time. Each round, everyone opens one pack and chooses the card they think will earn the most points based on our scoring sheet. At the end, everyone reveals their picks, adds up their scores, and the highest total wins! The winner will be given the specially assigned user flair "Reigning Pack War Champion". We also sometime give away prizes, which adds a little extra excitement. Pack Wars usually run just under 2 hours.

October 18, 2026 @ 8:30PM EST

Show-N-Tell Night

This is something new we're trying! Bring some of your favorite cards to share with the group. We'll have themed nights like Vintage, Grail Cards, and more, but our first event will be an open format where you can bring whatever you'd like to show off. We're guessing these will last 1–2 hours.

October 07, 2026 @ 8:30PM EST (Rare/Grail theme night)

October 21, 2026 @ 8:30PM EST (Team/Players who made it to the World Series theme night)

Were very laid-back and welcoming—you definitely do not need to be an expert to join in! We usually have 4-12 people attend, which makes for a fun, relaxed atmosphere where everyone gets a chance to participate.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out! Please DM one of the moderators with any questions or issues using Discord! We also have two group chats that new attendees are added to so you can receive reminders, stay up to date on future events and chat with other regular attendees in between live events!

I really hope you'll join us! These events are always a lot of fun, and we love seeing new faces in the group

Pulled the auto from a hanger and the green foil from a fat pack. Who needs a hobby with this kind of luck? Who am I kidding I’ll still end up getting one to set build lol.

❓ Question What did baseball card shop owners and collectors do when the MLB made it so Topps was the only card company that could show MLB logos?

Pretty happy with the first box, nothing too crazy, but a fun rip. I still have another box, but I’m not sure if I’ll open it today or tomorrow. I’ll post the rest when I open them.
