Which of these has been better for you quality-wise. I've heard of people getting some nice colors and autos from each. Please vote and let me know which you prefer!

I bought about 20-25 2012 Topps Chrome rack packs early this year and got exactly 0 color cards (besides the supplemental purples). Haven't bought any '13s, so I can't say either way.

Both have identical cards. Depends if you like purple or orange better and what the rack packs are priced at.

I stick with hobby and buy/trade for color. Blasters and hangers are great for set starting/filling though. Would also rather be opening 1 hobby box verses 4 blasters as the wife notices the quantity of boxes (LOL)

Hmmmm.! Very true! Never thought about the box quantity aspect before. Good point! I've never bought a Topps or Bowman Chrome Hobby before, only retail blasters and hangers. (Rack packs? Same?)

This year, I've picked up at least 8 blasters and 4-5 hangers and got nothing to write home about. My only "hit" was a purple Puig from a blaster. (I've been doing better with Prizm hangers ... Bought 5, got 2 autos and some nice color cards) I'd say, save your money and buy a hobby box with guaranteed hits. I spent $200+ at target and got zippo ... A couple of hobby boxes would have saved me some money.
