More Platinum craziness

[PatG]

My wife picked me up two packs of Bowman Platinum and a rack pack of Bowman Draft at Target. Nothing too substantial in the draft (one refractor), but snagged a Miguel Sano auto out of one of the two packs.
Crazy. My second Sano out of a retail product (got one in a Wal-Mart rack pack last week).
I don't think I've ever seen so many hits in retail products. I was going to buy a hobby box, but what's the point? I've pulled two $50 autos out of $15 of retail.

I've purchased around 6 rack packs and 1 blaster and haven't pulled any autos. I did pull one from my first and only hobby platinum pack though. I guess my luck hasn't been too good on the retail considering how many people seem to be getting autos out of their blasters.

You know what, Don? I broke two blasters and got no autos. Then, I got the rack pack and these loose packs and hit two autos. Bizarre.

The retail run of this stuff has been loaded. I pulled a Jesus Montero auto redemption from my first rack pack. Nothing since in 3 other rack packs but every pack isn't a winner. I'm thinking of picking up a hobby box today when I go to the LCS.

Mice Montero, Mike. I've been really surprised with the stuff coming out of retail. I was going to get a hobby box, but figured I can't do that much better (aside from hitting a sick booklet). Good luck if you get one, though. Let us know what you get.

nice hit on the sano pat. your right the retail platinum for the money is better than hobby. out of 4 blasters and four rack. i pulled four autos. plus some very nice refractors. i say buy the retail while you can, ;]

[jhise777]

Agreed and it doesn't hurt to have a little UTA luck =)

I ended up getting that Platinum hobby box. The box loader is a "bonus autograph refractor" (that should be interesting). The hits are:

Jose Bautista GU/auto #'d 456/700
Jordan Henry refractor auto (Indians)
Aroldis Chapman green refractor auto #'d 34/199

There are also some other refractors but they're still in the box. I'm going to list them on the thread I start for the break.
