Finally retail luck, Prizm style
Thought I'd check if target had any series 2 or archives in and nothing but they had one lone Prizm blaster so I figure why not.
Got a /199 camo fresh faces Robert Stephenson auto
Griffey fireworks
Buxton fresh faces
/60 orange spangenberg
Couple of prizms and then a few nice hits from the red pack like Jose Fernandez
All in all as usual Prizm makes you feel like you didn't totally waste $20

Well, it's about flippin' time you hit something! Congrats! Now you can let out a sigh of relief!
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 had a feeling when I saw that lonely blaster sitting there
And Prizm is always good

Having retail luck and having a retail streak are 2 totally different animals.
But I'm sure that the laws of probability will turn things around. You've been down so long, your retail luck should kick into high gear soon .... I hope.

I don't really buy much anymore now anyway, usually a blaster here or there when a new product comes out....then quit.
last year i was buying up every blaster of a new product i'd see and realized how much worthless crud piled up.

I remember last year I bought a box of prizm and it was the last one too, but was a pretty decent box as well. Congrats on your good luck today!
