2018 Topps Heritage "HITS" - NON HOBBY BOXES

Hey all,

I just spent over $200 on 6 Target Blaster Boxes (which included coupons for 6 free single packs) and 8 Hanger Boxes and not one card I could honestly call a "HIT". I did not even pull a single Aaron Judge base card or Ohtani RC, not to mention an auto or a relic. I was wondering if anyone else could share their own experiences of ripping retail today. Is there even an Ohtani RC in retail packs? I couldn't get my hands on any hobby today so I ran over to Target to scratch the itch and man am I disappointed. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Rob

    I ended up buying 9 blasters at Target last night, a couple single packs and a couple of the $9.99 hanger boxes. I should have stopped after my first trip of only spending $100. Had one blaster where every pack had a purple refractor and one had a black refractor. Got a few chrome, including a Judge numbered/999, one relic, Lorenzo Cain jersey and did get one red/magent back card. No color swap, no Ohtani, no name variations. Two base Judge cards besides the chrome. In all of mine I think I ended up with 27 hi# sp's. Really looking forward to getting the hobby boxes.

  • Thanks for the feedback. You definitely had some nicer hits than I did and for half the price. Anyway, I'm guessing there aren't any color or name variations in retail either. If someone can confirm this that would be great!

    Ha! Would have been half the price if I hadn't gone back. Ended up dropping about $250 total. Most of the hits just happen to have come in the first bunch I bought at around $100.

    No ohtani, color swap, in action or throwback in retail . I bought 8 blasters and 6 hangers from target , 2 fat packs to rip tonight. I know hobby is the best but I had the itch too

  • What a gyp not putting an Ohtani base RC in retail.

    How do guys feel about Gold refractors and the potential upside....are they compelling to you?

    Let me know if the Lorenzo Cain is available for sale. Sad that he left my Royals and is a Brewer now. And other Royals?

  • I have always stayed away from refractors but there is definitely a collectors market for them with high upside if you can get them graded PSA 10. Just seems like such a tough card to grade.

    Bought my very first 19.99 box at Target. Pulled this plus a chrome Posey. I think I'll just stop!

    I've opened 4 blasters and no Ohtani?

    That's "not" good business.

    I did pull this Trout out of the stream!

    I also posted it on another heritage thread.
