Ok, I get that this are sport cards....I think. But what are "review boxes" and "rips/ripping/rip cards"?

so glad I don't collect anymore.

I assume "review boxes" are boxes given to Jim by the company to review (awesome) and ripping = opening the box - oblique Aug 1, 10:09 13
- Companies give boxes away for review? Don't get me wrong, that's great for Jim, but that sounds kinda dumb. - musubi Aug 1, 10:11 1
  - Well, I'm a Moderator/Manager on a card trading site...and the review discusses - Jim Aug 1, 10:13
- Wow...it's like you know. That's exactly what it is. These are free boxes sent to me by Topps and Press Pass... - Jim Aug 1, 10:10 10
  - Wouldn't it be in their best interest to load your boxes with primo primes, to secure a good review? -- nm - Mr. Havens Aug 1, 10:12 1
    - Shit dude...I'm getting free product, I do what I can to find the good angle on what they send me. - Jim Aug 1, 10:16
  - I'm baffled by this. What is there to review? - musubi Aug 1, 10:12 7
    - other card collectors out there are super anal about sets, so if they get bad reviews they won't buy it at all. - Remlik Aug 1, 10:19

      - Yep. Card collectors are actually interested in this stuff. Are the autos On-Card or are they stickers? - Jim Aug 1, 10:14 3
        
        That's great for you, but I have to wonder how giving away a box is any different than the pictures on the box itself. - musubi Aug 1, 10:17 2
        
        Honestly, I have no idea. There are a handful of trading sites out there and Topps will hit us all with boxes. - Jim Aug 1, 10:19
        
        Not exactly....cardboard thickness...gloss type.....none of that shows on the photos off the boxes. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 10:19
    - This is why I am confused. -- nm - MDH Aug 1, 10:13
