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.

LOL
Thanks.
BTW: The Mega Box price was raised to $19.99 instead of the usual $14.99, but its 7 packs of Chrome instead of the 2 packs of Chrome + 5 other packs ... IMO, a much better deal.

Good Luck. Hope you find them. Not sure if they're exclusive to Target. 2 out of my 3 nearby targets had them. I Never checked WalMart yesterday ... so they might be there, too.
In my 3 boxes, besides the Benintendi redemption, I pullled a Judge RC, A Bellinger RC and ASG, a Kershaw refractor /250 and a Domingo German /50 gold.

RE: 2017 Update Chrome Mega boxes are out at Target!!
Wow you did really good so far. I will be buying a ton of these as soon as I can find them, and plan to put together at least 1 complete set if not more. They are Chrome only packs and only supposed to be available at Target. The odds on autos actually aren't that bad, but refractors are actually pretty tough. So to get an auto, refractor, and gold out of a few boxes is really good.

My wife told me she was at target, and sent me a picture of the card aisle. Boom! Chrome mega boxes. I told her that's what I'm looking for. Then she asked, "How many do you want?" After picking my jaw up off the floor, I sent back the obvious answer.... "All of them." We'll see what she actually brings home.

RE: 2017 Update Chrome Mega boxes are out at Target!!
Wow, they are hard to find. I bought an uneventful box yesterday. It was the only one on the shelf, and it could have stayed there, for what it was worth. Almost all duplicates and nothing to write home about. BUT, today, I found a Target that has been untouched by collectors and grabbed 3 boxes (regrettably leaving 7 boxes behind) and as luck would have it, pulled a redemption for a Gold Auto of Cody Bellinger!!!
I think I'll quit while I'm ahead. Benintendi Red Auto and Bellinger Gold Auto redemptions out of 7 boxes... that is waaaaaay ahead of the odds.
Once I find a pic host that works well with my iPad or iPhone, I'll post'em when I get'em.
