I bought 3 blasters and got an auto but I got lucky... it's 1:187 packs. Blue refractors are 1:300 packs. go with hobby.

I always say if you like minor league players, go with Bowman. Otherwise go with Topps.
Bowman: home of the pre-rookie card.

RE: 2012 Topps Chrome
I like this year's Chrome....quality looks good, and they're the flattest chromes I've ever seen....I always expect the natural bowing with chromes, but these are almost perfectly flat. I'd rather have Topps Chrome myself over Bowman, just because the odds are you'll get a prospect that in 2 years will be working at the local McDonalds. I'm just not a prospect guy.

RE: 2012 Topps Chrome
I just got a blaster and 1 rack pack. 3 or 4refractors. 1 xfractor. rack packs have 3 orange cards. I got a few base I know people will want to trade for or I'll gift them. I knew going in it's not looking too hot this year but can't resist trying. The few autos on ebay aren't going that high. I'll probably not buy any more retail chrome. The 2011 update blaster at 40% off was more fun and more hits.

Rack pack of each. Less chance of getting who you want but the retail colors are a form of guarantee 'hit'
