So yesterday I grabbed four blasters of Topps Chrome ... hit a Puig RC, Nick Franklin auto redemption, and a hot box of purple refractors.
Had a feeling I should leave the remaining four blasters at the store, but I went ahead and picked them up today.
Should have stayed with my gut — best card (by far) was a Wil Myers purple refractor.
I did pull the base cards of Trout and Harper (same pack!), so it was not a total loss ... but for the price of the blasters, I could have had a hobby box!
I did much better on four blasters of Prizm ... first Prizm product (to my knowledge) to actually be released in blaster configuration!
(Last year's football or basketball would have been SWEET!)
Pulled a green prizm "Band of Brothers" of the Nats (Harper!), a Trout USA card, a Peter Bourjos auto (if you squint you can pretend it's Trout, LOL), and ...
A Rookie Challengers Yasiel Puig insert, in the last blaster!
Now, I checked Panini's website, and there are 18 cards in that set ... and I only pulled two (Gyorko was the other) in four blasters, so that's a reasonably tough pull for retail.
So yeah, could have done better, but could have done much worse, too.
