2012 Prizm retail break
Took a chance on a retail box ($30). No guaranteed hits. Long shot to get an auto. Nothing great, but a fun box of great cards. It was a great rookie year and Derek was still around, so there are some PC hits that I was happy to get.
I'm not sure, but there were zero refractors, except for the green.

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.

I'd say you did pretty well there. Bottom row alone should "pay" for the box. Looks like Streaky's enjoying his time with you.

Not sure if Streaky was around when I opened this box, but he's been popping in when I'm picking up Bowman, as of late.
This box wasn't bad, but for 50% more than the cost of a blaster, you can't lose. Besides, there's a slight chance of several great autos that can show up in retail. But even without the guaranteed hit, all those great rookie cards, Jeter cards, and second year Trout cards. Can't lose.

I just ordered 2 24 pack retail boxes from Dacard today, but they are on clearance for $16.99, so I couldn't pass that up! Also, ordered 2 2013 Panini Prizm 24 pack retail boxes also on clearance but a bit more. Since I pulled the Biggio base auto last time, I figured they all have to be good right? hahahah
Looking for all cards from these guys I don't have!

I did! I just bought 3 boxes. Anytime a box is priced less than a blaster, it seems like a bargain to me.

Yes it does! I also picked up 2 boxes of the 2013 Pinnacle. I'd love to order Tier 1, but I'm on a Tier 50 budget.
