If you're talking retail, definitely go for Absolute ... at least you get the one jersey ... I have busted four blasters of Strata and got nothing but base ... though I did get two Lucks, two Wilsons and an RGIII ...

So in that sense, I guess it depends what you're looking for ... but I'm done with Strata.

Never buy Panini retail, Topps retail you have a much better chance for decent hits

I've had a had time pulling anything out of Topps retail, for some reason ... other than Allen & Ginter, I do pretty well with that.

But man, other than A&G, it's been years since I pulled an auto out of Topps retail.

(I don't count Bowman or BC, they tend to seed the autos pretty well in retail.)

Just my two cents, but I just busted a Crown Royale blaster from Walmart and did okay, I think. I got three rcs, 4 inserts(knew them all) and Rookie Paydirt jersey of Robert Turbin. Sorry about your break.
Looking for all types of rookie cards. Only trade with a d/c #. If you have less than 25 trades you must ship first. Thanks.

RE: save your money buy hobby...
Thanks guys I usually buy a blaster of new product when they come out like crown, strata , and absloute then base my decision off those to see what hobby box I will purchase , as far as a promise hit from each box ...I don't do I'd rather loose on a blaster break than get a non numbered jersey card , I'd rather face my odds and get something better or nothing at all..any thoughts on that ? Maybe its just me

When its all said and done if you spend $140 on Blasters over time (7 blasters) you will get more and better hits if you spent that $140 on a hobby box. I know the itch all too well lol I wish I had a LCS nearby so I would quit wasting my time on Blasters lol

Not even 2010 Topps Magic football - retail was loaded with autos? I even pulled a dual auto out of one.

Topps Strata blasters actually have pretty strong odds at an auto (its 1:41 packs which with 8 in a blaster is about 1:5) - unfortuantely they also have a 50% chance of nothing but base (and the sorting is bad as well).
