2 Abreu RC
1 Tanaka

Yeah, I've had no AUTOs or #s with Platinum either. Bought quite a bit. Lots of nice cards, but no big hits like that. It's a beautiful set of cards, so I'll definitely be buying more.

To be honest, the amount u spent on 6 blasters, u could have bought a hobby box with guarantee 3 hits.
Just saying. I usually buy one or two a month if there r still there. Thanks.

This isn't particularly bad luck, it is just retail. People post their big hits here when they buy retail because they're posting their hits, so that's all you see.
If you are looking for hits, hobby is the way to go.

haven't done badly with platinum 3 blasters and 2 value packs and 2 autos (lesser names) and a few colored parallels.
Retail is very hit and miss but you do get big hits but it's kinda like playing lotto scratchers in that 90% of the time you won't win or if you do it's a small prize or in this case hit.

I know how you feel! Same thing has even happening to me with Prizm ... No autos, no color s/n cards .... But always feel that a hit is just around the corner. I keep buying them because the RW&B cards are very cool.
Now Platinum? Just the opposite. I'm averaging a hit in nearly 1:3 or 1:4
I'd buy a few more ... Law of averages, right? Or like The Mighty Snappy One (SnappyJoe) mentioned, for < $100 per Hobby, you'll get 3 hits!
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.

Remind me (unless you never told us), which auto did you hit?
