if you are just looking to finish sets, I can do a retail box (not a blaster) for $50 dlvd.....but for some reason a hobby box is $20 over Ebay prices (FOR MY COST!) - so I obviously would not recommend that

whats the difference between blaster and retail bowes?

whats the name of the ones you can buy at wal-mart,target?retail or blaster?

thanks

The boxes that are (usually) 9.99 or 19.99 are the blasters

You can usually buy single packs, those come out of a retail box.

Retail box vs. hobby box = Hobby has better odds for inserts/GUs/Autos ; Retail often have "retail only" parallels and while you sill have a chance to pull an auto/GU the odds are lower....usually if a hobby box has odds of 1:6 for a GU it will be 1:30 in a retail box (these are just example odds)

The pack sizes are also different. In the 2007 Ultra - the hobby boxes have 5 packs with 15 cards where as the retail boxes have 5 packs with 25 cards in each
