Second Box added 2013 Elite Extra What's the Better Deal
Okay...listed first four packs and then the hobby box. Then I saw the breaks that were being pulled from the blasters, and decided to break one. Not as good as others I have seen, but I still got three autos and a USA Jersey.
So...
Bloodlines Lee and Jacob Mays
Elite 19 Hunter Harvey
Aspiration 73 d. J. Baxendale 132/200
Status 109 D. J. Peterson 71/100
15U USA Daniel Cabrera 3
Autos Ohio
26 Dace Kime 249/669 Indians
41 Cory Thompson 283/600 Reds
135 Tom Windle 235/671 Dodgers
So, Blasters are $30 plus tax at Target and Walmart and averaging 3 autos or Hobby Boxes around $95 and Averaging 6 autos...

RE: 2013 Elite Extra What's the Better Deal
I pre ordered 2 hobby boxes of this last year and I was kind of disappointed. My lowest auto was numbered 100 and no inserts worth noting. I have ripped 5 blasters now and am totally addicted, have 3 autos /50, a couple SPs, and a new look on Extra Edition. Blasters all the way!

RE: 2013 Elite Extra What's the Better Deal
I did significantly better with my blasters than Rentzington .... Got 3 autos and a bunch of die-cuts in each box. My yield of low number autos were better than many hobby box breaks that I witnessed.
I got 1 red ink /10, 1 green ink /25, 4 die cut autos /50 (2 live, 2 redemption ) and a bunch of base auto.
I also had 2 non auto die cuts /25. Every blaster had a GU USA relic card, too.
The hobby boxes have some items exclusive, like signed Bloodlines and signed 'chrome' elites, and 2color patch GU USA relics.

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.
