My best friend said Meijer has 20% off baseball this week, so he got 6 blasters for $15.99 each. They apparently get the walmart ones too, as he had THREE SPs out of 48 packs, 4 or 5 chromes.... However, he was spared from complete doom by pulling Gil McDougald Flashback Auto 20/25. So if you were wondering whether good stuff could be found in the blasters this year, the answer is yes. There's also a chance you get one like he did where the top 5-7 cards of each pack were all orange rookies.... Back to work now.
Topps must have a beef with Walmart.....I also opened a blaster with no SPs.............statistically is that possible? Four packs had no inserts....I glad I only bought one. I guess it's more of a gamble to get the big pull......but not to build the set.
Well I really should be sorting, but decided to make a Target run instead. They had 10 blasters and 2 retail boxes...I actually exhibited a little self control and only bought 3 blasters and one sealed retail box. Rip report coming up.
I'm missing out on all the great trading......my blaster cases will probably be here tomorrow or Monday but we'll be on our way to sunny FL. When I return, which is not for 2 weeks, I'll be ripping & posting & then hoping to trade so will be picking up the slack from other burnt out addicts like Kevin, Doran, & Mike. Best of luck guys. Dave
I've still got a bunch of refractors. I'll get a list up at some point.
On another note, my 4 blasters showed up today from ebay
Thinking they wouldn't show up and having a need to rip something, I picked up a box of Leaf Certified Materials football and a box of Upper Deck Hockey Champs at lunch today too
Thanks guys for the endorsements, I think I've received all my trades. This time of year is sooooo busy for me, (being a tax accountant isn't always as glamourous as its portrayed in the movies ), so if I am couple days late on mailing please be patient. I was planning on checking everything off tonight and getting it in a binder, but sleep may take priority. <----Thats sad I'm only 25!
Well I was proud of my self control earlier when I left blasters on the shelf, but my wife just called and said Target still had 5 blasters and 23 retail packs (guess somebody snagged the hit), and of course I told her to buy it all. So much for updating my list for awhile.
Like several others around here, thanks to some great traders I'm about to put this set to rest. Thanks go out to Mike, Kevin, Stoney, Chris, Jason and JimR for the trades and help!!!
I've whittled it down to a card or two, and I'm sure I'll find those soon, so bring on the high numbers!! Now, back to finishing up the 2008 High Numbers insert sets...
Had to goto a meeting today for work about 40 miles from here, they have a Target and 2 Walmarts, but I've sworn off Walmarts for awhile, so I just hit the Target. Apparently no one is buying cards there, 'cause the 2 boxes my friend said were there this weekend were basically intact. Picked up 37 packs of 09, and 11 packs of 08 Hi-nums, and 3 A&G blasters, left the 9 08 Hi Num blasters behind. They didn't have any 09 blasters, probably would have passed on those too. Results:
37 Retail packs from Target 11 SPs 1 Refractor 3 Chrome 3 NAP 3 BF 3 NF 3 T&N 10 Mayos (which makes up nicely for the 2 in 14 packs the first time): Chipperx2, Hanleyx3, Ichirox2, Pedroiax2, Braun
So now I just need to update the wantlists for remaining Mayos and other stuff.
Stopped by Target and picked up 5 packs for poops and grins.
Did I win yet?
So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
I just heard over on the other boards that Whitey Lockman died. He has multiple redemptions out in 09 heritage, I wonder what topps will replace them with?
ok, how about 5000 packs? I can't even name a huge pull that someone has had on here, certainly we are due? Who is going to get us out of this slump and hit one off the wall for multiple bases?

<< <i> think I'll start another set just so I can keep trading! >>
hmm maybe I'll do that too. Just got the last SP for set 2 today from Sean
anyone got variations for trade, LMK. Having 2 now makes me want to get them all
Wonder what a master set with all variations, chromes, refractors, black ref., GU and autographs would go for
Also, had great trades with zep and Doran, but everyone already knows that those guys are rock solid.
not so bad yourself Nick
i have a friend who has one for trade.
pm with offers.
thx, jim.
