    Thanks for the breakdown. Sounds like you got a pretty good box. I have opened a blaster and a hobby box in the past and I thought both came through pretty well. I really like the inserts in the box. I bought a hobby box for my son last Christmas and I enjoyed watching him open it. He really doesn't watch baseball so he largely didn't know any of the players other than the Giants. He still had a good time. The inserts were really fun and I liked the looks of the cards so I bought a box for myself too just a couple weeks ago. I haven't had time to open it, but I will probably do that in the next couple weeks. I will post my results.

    I don't collect baseball, but it's nice to see someone getting good results from retail material. Way to go image

    Glad to see interest in these types of threads. Will post on these types of box opening results in future threads.

    I love it when things are on sale at Wal-Mart and Target. Rarely are they on sale at Meijer. I usually buy these and throw them in the end of the year box. Then on New Year's Eve I rip everything open. The box is the cardboard that our microwave came in. Tons of fun and at a really great price.

    The 2012 and 2013 Archives product is one of the funner rips out there, and not at all expensive.

    I do prefer the hobby boxes of these...I've heard people grumble about the value obtained, but I like getting Auto's of guys that were star players when I was growing up, even if they aren't worth money. Theres two autos per hobby box. I pulled Eric Davis and Bob Welch on my 2013 hobby box, and John Kruk on my 2012 and I was really happy to get those...

    The inserts are fantastic IMO too.
