2014 Elite Extra Edition retail blasters
|
Bought a few ... Probably would have been better buying a hobby box, but didn't do that badly.

![[Image: Ch4Mt.png]](http://i.imgur.com/Ch4Mt.png) 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. 
Not too shabby when you can walk away from retail with some color. Definitely not as kind as last year's blasters were though.

Probably going to buy a hobby box instead. Might be cheaper in the long run ... Or just wait a year and pick up 80% of these prospects for a buck each Here's something interesting .... Look at the Victor Arano cards. The /100 card is on card auto while the /799 appears to be a sticker auto .... But it looks a little faded .... That's because it's actually an on card auto and they put a clear sticker over the auto!?!?!? WTF? Thinking about peeling it off. I have a duplicate that's just the same... I wonder how many have that .... And why? Error or 'on purpose'?

I was looking at those at Target. You get a lot of auto's for the money, but I do miss those 2013 blasters discounted to 12.99!

yeah, ive just skipped the blasters. I'll grab em next year discounted hah.
last year had great guaranteed hits and was nearly better than buying a box. (02-22-2015, 10:51 AM)rentzington Wrote: yeah, ive just skipped the blasters. I'll grab em next year discounted hah.... And was getting low numbered on-card autos with frequency! 2 blasters were cheaper and better than Hobby. ... Thus the reconfiguration this year, I'd guess.

I bought the one blaster and I think that'll be it (until they go clearance). In the meantime, I've just been picking up the autos I want. Maybe if there were some better base cards (and parallels), I'd be a little more willing.
But then again, after last year, it's pretty hard to go back.
Beautiful cards good doctor!
