Blasters: Which ones to buy?
I've been lurking the forums and finally joined. I've just barely decided to pick up the hobby of collecting cards 25 years later from my childhood days when I bought packs at the corner store (now I'm 38). Sadly, my city (El Paso) only has 1 LCS, so I've been buying online and at local retail stores. I haven't invested in any Hobby boxes yet, so I've been buying rack packs and blasters.
Can anyone give me advice to which particular Rack Packs and Blasters to pick from?

Yeah, I've already bought 4 Blasters of Chrome. The LCS guy recommended Topps Platinum. IMO, I think the Chrome is a better looking card.

Stick with Chrome and get some rack packs too. If you want some variety I pulled a pretty nice card from a Topps Legends Blaster last Saturday.

To be honest whatever is the newest product out which at this point is Topps Chrome. Alot of folks are hitting it pretty good with Chrome right now but I have a sneaky suspicion that later shipments won't be so lucky.

Chrome all the way, maybe some platinum thrown in for flavour. I read a post somewhere, a guy bought a case of them and somehow managed to get a cam auto

To be honest, I think you would be much better off sticking with hobby boxes if you are looking for hits. Just my 2 cents.
