4 reduced Target Blasters (I think retail is kinder to me)
Picked up:
2013 Topps Series 1 & 2 blasters
2013 Elite hanger
2013 Bowman
I think I did better with retail than all my hobby store purchases.
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.

Yeah, was pretty happy with the Trout and Clemente Manu Patches. Didn't have any of these. Picking up PC stuff from reduced blasters ... Priceless.
Max White and Schoenrock are FT. Everything else is PC.
Here are some more (minor) hits from the reduced blasters..

Thanks. Not bad at all (I was about to qualify 'for retail', but that's the point of the thread )
2013 retail was much nicer to me than 2014, IIRC ... Unless my memory is just 'waxing' nostalgic.

Thanks. Rarely do I ever pull something like that ... Usually need to trade, or troll eBay for a Casey Kelly variant.
In a few more days, I'll open more stuff ... If I get that Lucroy 2010 RC I'll send it along with the others. I was looking at Topps Supreme (picked up some beautiful cards .. Posting them soon) and found some Lucroy autos in that product. Prices seemed reasonable, but with the current Holiday expenses, it might be better to wait for the mid-winter baseball doldrums

That's the same for us with Lucroy parallels usually. Really dig the Topps Supreme cards, both this year and last. We only need 3 more Luc autos from this year's Supreme set and are eyeing one of them on the bay right now. They are beautiful cards, in my opinion.
