Topps Olympic Blaster Question?! Help please

[dwighthoward]

Hello, we all know the olympics are now and most graphers probably already purchased most or all the blasters at the stores. I was wondering if anyone knows or thinks the blasters are still on the shelves around? Is it around in your area?

plenty still in Targets in Buffalo, NY i know, and in D&A Card Worlds around here yeah

Cool. and you know hows the selling market on these cards? ive read that the base set is going for a low cost right now and it's hard to get autos in the blaster breaks. you have to get lucky. the autos arent even selling much either i heard

It's a crap shoot when it comes to hits in the blasters. I have broke about 9 of them and only had 3 that didn't have hits. Lately, there have been people getting three hits in blasters. As for the autos, they are not as tough a pull in blasters as you might think. Of the six I got hits, 2-3 of my hits were autos (one of which was Missy Franklin). The market is hot for the autos in upcoming events. now that gymnastics and swimming are coming to a conclusion, the market should cool down in a couple of weeks. Track and Field. along with Soccer, is going to be the big seller for the next week/week and a half. Relics of popular Olympians are not a bad seller either.

Just an idea, this is what I'm doing personally, I bought a base set from a member on here for pretty cheap, and I am going to get most of them signed TTM. I have heard that most Olympians are wonderful TTM signers, I'm going to wait a few months before sending them out cause I'm sure they are getting bombarded with fan mail, but there are a lot in the TTMM here, and many of them list addresses on their personal websites
