Thanks everyone for the advice! I think I'll try to avoid buying retail unless its just a couple packs to open for fun because I definitely have spent much more than the value if the cards buying at wal-mart, target etc...it's just so hard to walk by them in the store! I would love going to a card store but like I said with it being over an hour away it's tough to get to sometimes.

Thanks again everyone...got some good tips!

Keep your eyes open for deals on blasters and rack packs and Walmart. If I see 2010 or newer blasters for less than $12, I usually bite. With rack packs, depending on the product, sometimes you'll find them marked down by 50% (also a good deal).
