Wow man, that list that you're sending into beckett is very impressive! Did you pull all those hits from retail stuff? I couldn't imagine pulling a jersey card out of retail, more less a beautiful auto of Clowney like that. I never could bring myself to buy retail blasters because every single time I ever have, I've never pulled anything. I see a lot of people that hit some crazy stuff out of them, which is awesome, but I've never seen anything impressive out of a blaster! I always buy Hobby packs, but they're getting harder and harder to find every year, because the card shops are drying up (which breaks my heart like a lonely teenager lol) Makes sense though for Topps to make the blasters have decent chances of hitting, theres a lot of people who have literally zero card shops they can go to in their general area, so they resort to buying retail blasters and stuff from Walmart, Target, Kmart etc. All these sweet retail hits I keep seeing is really making me want to stop at Walmart on my way home and pick up a blaster. I just might!! Awesome stuff though man for sure, love the clowney!

I've had great luck with retail the Walmart blasters have jerseys not auto I've found but target chrome. blasters are blue instead of green and they have autos so I pick up the value packs at Walmart and the blasters and value packs at target and the clowney also came from a retail value pack from Walmart
