2 2011 Contenders Blasters
Had to run into Target and pick up a few things and picked up the last two Contenders blasters they had and got two pretty decent pulls.
Redemtions auto's of Julius Thomas and Charles Clay, both numbered /99. I might just buy a few more blasters in hopes of pulling some more short prints.

Do all of the blasters have autos?

$30 a box and you get an auto that would sell for $2.

$29.99 ...one auto per box. If you wanna toss money away, its a good option. I'm sure there is the occasional nice hit but when they make you drop $30 and give you a guy like Charles Clay they might as well hold you up and take your money.

If you know where I can get the rest of the short prints for 2 bucks please tell me. I'd love to put that set together.

That is where you are wrong, not all contain $2 autographs. I ended up with 2 respectable $100 cards out of the two blasters I pulled.
BTW nice pulls!! The Julius Thomas has gone live now just so you know.

Yeah do an ebay search of the 2 he pulled. Both SP's and Clay can bring in $100 and Thomas almost $200 easily.

According to Panini almost all of the short print of 99 redemptions were "retail only" - two of the 4 retail boxes I have picked up have had SP redemptions (specifically Nathan Enderly and Aaron Williams) in them (compared to zero short prints from my 2 hobby boxes).
