I was watching his videos for quite some time, but I got a little bored and haven't watched them as often. He really seems to know his baseball. I enjoy that part. I also started going to buying some of those repacks because of his videos. For what I collect, I have found moderate success with them too. I don't buy into his breaks, but I don't get into many breaks at all in general. I don't know anything about that end, but he seems to be on the level.

I thought BenG76 had a YouTube channel, but I don't see any mention of one on his profile page.

I saw the best cards of my generation destroyed by creases, soft cornered hysterical edge wear, dragging themselves through the hobby shops at dawn looking for a top loader... |

Ben does have one. I don't know why it isn't linked on his Profile, but if you go to his recent posts you'll find his thread.

He hasn't posted a break in a while, but I'd guess it's due to the holidays. I don't spend much time on YouTube, but I usually watch Ben's breaks.

I used to watch them daily, but haven't recently. I am sure I will watch again when the new years releases start. He is very baseball saavy and his videos are entertaining. There are a few other channels with moderately successful break videos or daily entries. Former NY Yankee and MN Twin Phil Hughes has a card channel "Phils Pulls" I believe. I really enjoy his channel as there are more high end boxes he opens, since I will never afford the top end stuff. He does a lot of Hockey and Pokemon along with Baseball.

I watch him some but since baseball is my 3rd favorite sport to collect it's not a top priority. My favorite break to watch is Packers87 because he is an all football guy. I watch Smiddle a fair amount too.

I don't collect baseball but I watch his from time to time but only for the excellent John Wathan coverage.
Hearing him talk about coming home from card hunting with his brother to find his wife and kids had moved out was pretty rough though. I wondered how he could spend so much time focusing on baseball cards and maintain a family balance.

There are a ton of great card related YouTube channels that are way better than Jabs.
pepino man
Silverjackify
Bluejacket 66
Those are just to name a few. I have my own channel with my son: Dustin & Blake

I didn't hear about that but it isn't too surprising. He did seem to spend way too much time card hunting with his brother and going to baseball games than a guy with a young family should.

I am a patreon of his and he has always sent good stuff to me. However the last three months he has been behind in his commitments. His family life seems to be suffering. I enjoy his videos very much but I think he needs to put the camera down for a while and concentrate on what should be his main focus, his family.
