1st retail purchase 2014 ... Nice megabox
Was in Target and had some extra $$$$. Picked up my first retail box of the year.
The card-gods welcomed me back with this:

Koji Topps update Boston Strong /50
Wilson Topps Chrome update Gold /250.
Not too shabby!

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

Nice megabox, Doc! The best thing we pulled out of the megaboxes we opened was a Mariano Rivera Black refractor. Not too bad but considering how many of those megaboxes we opened, not too good either!

Thanks!
Your Mariano Refractor black, is one sweet card to pull!!!
But yeah, I've been lucky. Seems that I, on average, find something good in 1:3 boxes. Today, I followed the last box rule, and it was the first time that rule ever paid off. I didn't even know those Boston Strong cards existed. I thought there was only the David Ortiz SSP Boston Strong.
I'm certain that my next 2 boxes, if I find them, will be clunkers. But I"ll report my findings either way.

Thanks, RJ!
If only I could market that title somehow

Sorry about that, Eric! Glad you're not shopping at my Target, otherwise I'd feel like I was taking cards away from you. I've been lucky ... for now.
