Preferred retail format? Blaster, Hanger, Mega, cello/fat pack?

[Campbelljh3]

Is there a consensus on preferred retail format or does it depend on release?

What is the most commonly produced form....would think blasters. Most uncommon hangers?

Seems each SKU nowadays has exclusives so trying to determine which format to purchase typically and which would have the most uncommon inserts in aftermarket.

Would love to hear some thoughts.

It depends on the price per card. Usually ends up being fat packs or Hangers for me

Same.. Loved hangers and fatties for chronicles basketball.

Optic cellos/fatties nice w/ blue velocity packs. Loved the cellos of Topps chrome baseball too w/ the pinks.

Hoops packs from Dollar Tree for a buck are a great bang for the buck :)!

Price per card more important than content?

For instance chronicles had

Jumbo - score & bronze parallels
Hanger - classics & green parallels
Blaster - rookies and stars & pink parallels

I'm not sure if it was just my results but I also only pulled autos out of hangers for chronicles, which is another reason I thought hangers were the best. A few hangers where I pulled an RC auto+ #'d classics in the same box. Being that classics is my favorite subset in the product it doesn't get much better than hangers for me.

If you find any format of Chronicles in the wild, buy them all!
Especially when discounted.

I like hangers, because they can’t really be searched and you can get two for the price of one blaster usually.

What you get for hits depends on the release, though. Some are better than others.

This year I like Cello's. Hangers are cool too. Blasters I find fun for whatever reason. The one I actually dislike are mega's.

All of 'em. #ThanksZion

I prefer to open multiple packs. But would rather not pull a memorabilia card.

So for me, a cello w/ a couple of packs and a bonus exclusive pack (blue velocity for optic, rwb for prizm, etc) is the way to go.

Starting to come around to gravity feed packs as well, but there's a greater risk of searched packs.
