That's sweet! I've heard about the hot boxes. I got the same box last night got a Mesoraco base auto in it.

I just got back from Walmart - a trip for Greek yogurt and milk also ended with me picking up a blaster and landing a hot box.

I ended up with Trout, ARod and Smyly refractors. Ethier Xfractor. And the purple highlights are Kemp, Pedroia, Trumbo, Lincecum and King Felix. Also got rookies of Adams, Cespedes, Chambers, Pomeranz, Avery, Pill and Hague.

Nothing overly fantastic, but like the OP said, it's fun to get a box full of "hits."

that would be a fun break!


RE: 2012 Topps Chrome Retail Blaster Hot Box - skeen2 - 08-31-2012

its so weird coz purple refractors arent displayed on the odds meaning they are just basically retail exclusive freebies. i wish when topps load them up for hotboxes thye should have given some more color to it Smile

are they doing the $9.98 value packs for chrome this year ? I know in past years that's where the exclusive color refractors would come from. You'd get 3 of them along with the 3 packs of cards. Maybe they aren't doing those this year and just threw the refractors into hot boxes instead.


RE: 2012 Topps Chrome Retail Blaster Hot Box - jaredhuizenga - 08-31-2012

Yep they're doing that as well. They're orange refractors for those. Actually, they're pretty sharp looking. I haven't got anything too good from the couple I've bought so far, but I did get a Hosmer and a Pujols.
