whats a blaster box??

[GoDucks]

i here you guys say blaster box a lot, is that just a retail box or something?

[garnett_21]

It's a retail box that you see at Walmarts or Targets for $10 or $20....usually 6-22 packs, depending on brand

do people just buy these to maybe help complete a base set?? correct me if im wrong, but they are just all base cards in there, right? If thats the case then i don't know why people would waste their money (i know its "their" money and they can do whatever they want) on something like this

just gives people something to do, my cuz broke a box of dp & s blaster recently and pulled an auto and some nice refractors. cheap, affordable, and cool to open.

[garnett_21]

well, it's like retail packs....mostly base, but inserts, and occassionly autos/GU....I've pulled GU before from them

Alot of blasters now guarantee a GU - I just bought a Luxury Box blaster recently - 1 pack, $19.99, and I pulled a 7 piece GU numbered 8/10.

Mainly the stuff is used when your bored. I'm sure a lot of us have gone to Target, Wal-MArt or our local grocery store and bought some stuff.

Best I ever had was I pulled a refractor auto of Acie Law IV and a /199 Oden RC from blaster boxes. You don't expect a lot when you buy this stuff, mainly its just for fun.

And I suppose if I actually did sets I'd buy this stuff more often, I just give all my base to the boy scouts.

like others have said, some blasters guarantee a GU. i have also pulled an auto and some nice parallels from the bowman blasters. i'd actually say i pulled nicer cards from my bowman blaster than i did from the bowman hobby box i bought. you never know! i guess it can be hit or miss.

I just bought a couple more blasters this weekend - 08 Chrome Baseball and 08 Artifacts baseball. Pulled a Jimmy Rollins GU from the Artifacts, and pulled 2 auto's, 2 xfractors, and a blue refractor from the Chome.
