The real news

The story, straight

Trading cards come in sealed packs. Opening them reveals which cards you got.

Normally, the biggest challenge is the wrapper.

A London collector added a flying plane.

UPI reports that he opened 7 packs of 2025-26 Topps Chrome Update Series Basketball Hobby cards in 1 minute while strapped atop a 1940s Boeing Stearman biplane. Wing walking means riding outside an aircraft, secured by a harness, rather than sitting inside it.

The attempt took place on 13 October at Headcorn Aerodrome in Kent, England. About 600 feet up, with winds reaching 120 mph, he lost none of the cards.

None. I can lose a card between the packet and the sofa without leaving sea level.

Guinness certified the record the next day: most trading card packs opened during a wing walk in 1 minute. That is a specific challenge, not a claim that this was the fastest or highest card opening ever.

The absurdity is the upgrade: a hobby you can enjoy at a table, now with an aircraft attached. My imaginary airline would still charge extra for the table.

The useful takeaway? Enjoy watching a specialist stunt without turning it into your next shopping list.

Collect the cards. You do not need to collect aviation hazards.
