A Little Carried Away on Blasters

[BenDenham]

Man, these things really are great to open. I stopped at Wally World this morning to pick up a few things and, as always, checked the card area to see what they had. Jackpot! 2 boxes each of Donruss, Prestige, Threads and R&S (all 10-11)... so naturally I bought them all... for 11.98 a piece! Then after work, I stopped by my other Wal-Mart thinking they may have re-stocked at the same time and picked up a few more Prestige, another Donruss and another R&S. Hits and notable cards below. Nothing too earth shattering, but I am pretty pleased. The way I look at it is that I spent as much as it would have cost for 2 boxes of Hoops, and I think I did way better than I would have there!

Prestige 1:
Hit: Greg Monroe Draft Patch Auto #d 074/299

Prestige 2:
Hit: Prestigious Pros Materials Green Kevin Love #d 101/499

These were my least favorite boxes, only the hits and nothing else fun

...a Ruby in every Blaster plus the hit and decent inserts and some other Die Cut parallels for 11.98? Can't beat that! Pretty much all FT/FS.

Definately made the right choice. I would say you got the same value as about 8 boxes of hoops. That stuff is horrible. I'm interested in buying the nash craftsmem proof /100 and all of the rubies. Shoot me a pm w/ prices thanks

[whalechaser]

Looks like you had lots of fun!

[Dunndeal]

If you look on blowout cards they are selling those blasters for over $40.00 a box. Great hits from your blasters.....Dan

You did pretty good, man. Great you see you had a "blast."

Ha.

Yeah, I'm lame.

Nice break, I can use this if its available.

I do wish they would sell them for $9.97. I remember when blasters used to be 50% off at Wal-Mart and Target.

They haven't made it here to Houston/Pearland yet. I've always had good luck with Donruss blasters too.

Nice hits in your blasters! Congrats!

[Qwasian]

looks like some solid breaks, especially at that price........ my walmarts sold out, lol

[BigAl_83]

I would say great hits with the Prestige, Cousins and Monroe auto would even be very decent hits in a hobby box let alone blasters!

Good choice!
