    Pretty strong first case, especially considering that it would of been 5 hobby boxes (would of actually cost you twice for that many hobby
    packs). Very interested to see if the trend continues in the second! Good Luck

    I just picked up 8 BLISTER packs at Wal*Mart.

    1 Team Orange
    1 Black Mini
    4 Base minis (1 sp)
    1 World Leader
    1 Auto (Jeff Francis)
    1 A&G Back Mini

    I've opened 6 hobby, 13 blasters, and now 8 Blisters and I'd say that the blisters are by far the best.

    Oh, and EVERY pack had a base SP!

    Sorry Bill. Cut luck on the next.

    Mine s/b here tomorrow, wish now that I had ordered all blasters instead of 1 case of each. I've never much luck with blasters though.

    My dear wife did buy me a Walmart blaster yesterday which yielded 4 SP's; 3 minis, 3 AG backs, 1 WL & 1 AI

    Good Luck, Nick! I hope you pull a cut signature! I have a feeling they are all in the Retail product since only 2 surfaced on ebay from the Hobby product so far!

    I got another hobby case that should be in tomorrow. Looking forward to that break too, but I still gotta get through 2 retail cases! My stomach hurts - I opened too much Allen and Ginter image

    All these posts with new product almost have me wanting to buy some more, but after spending the better part of the last few nights sorting base cards while watching mostly crummy Olympic events on TV, I think I'll just live vicariously through you guys (and hope you get some more of my wantlist cards...) Let's see some cuts!
