I think you're better off with the blasters ... and there's still a chance of auto and relic cards besides the patches in the blasters.
Actually Doc, I'm pretty sure there are no autos or relics in the blasters with the patches ... I remember checking that specifically a product or two ago.
I think Topps' thinking is, hey we gave you a free patch, what else could you possibly want, LOL
I could be wrong, but make sure to consult the small print on the side of the blaster first ... if you're looking for hits, that is.
But base, yeah, blasters are the way to go.
Actually, I recommend the $10 "blisters" or whatever they're called ... the 72-card cello packs inside the flatter cardboard boxes ... it's about six packs worth of base cards, no dupes, and they do have relics/autos ... I pulled a Buster Posey All-Star jersey out of an Update one last year, and a McCutchen jersey out of Series 1 this year.
