I experienced that firsthand today! Better than most of my hobby boxes! A card numbered out of 5 from retail! It's crazy loaded!

[death2redemptions]

Yeah they are listed to have two autos per box but most breaks I have seen have four. Lots of parallels as well.

I got 3 and a relic in mine! Most I have seen have 2-3 and a relic. I haven't seen one without a relic to be honest! I've always not liked EEE hobby but I've always been a sucker for retail!

I opened 4 boxes tonight. 120 dollars. Pulled two green autographs /25 and about 4 on card autographs RC's. I have been averaging 3 autographs, one jersey and 3 parallels per 30 dollar box. I have also hit about 4 base SP's

Where can I find EEE blasters? I've never seen them at any retail location.

[Reverend Ghost]

Yup, bought two today, had six autos including a Gold Die Cut Auto 5/5 as well as an SP variation and two relics. USA Baseball Champions was like this too, bought a couple of 24 pack retail boxes, pulled more autos than I should have, two of them numbered to 25. Too bad Prizm Baseball didn't get the memo...

Target has them. I've found one box out of two stores, pulled three autos. Going to hunt again tomorrow.

[HeritageKing]

Each of my targets had 4 blasters of EEE. They came in with contenders football. I don't know if they have these at walmart or not.

[pdxprospect]

After reading this thread, headed down to the local Target, picked up a blaster, and... all true!
3 Autos (1 to /100 and 2 redemptions:()
Every pack (whether planned or not) had an auto or an insert which included 1 to /100 and another blue to /50.
Not bad for a cool thirty.

[cruiserdaddy7]

Any big name autos or just common but low numbered stuff?

[90sbaseballfan]

I bought 6 blasters and did well myself. Of course, I got 9 redemptions and 2 of them are of the same player.

I have pulled two Chris Andersons in just 5 blasters

[jeffmagley]

the packs are still hobby packs right? or is there a different check list for who you can pull from these?

[90sbaseballfan]

No, they are RETAIL packs.

[HeritageKing]

well, in contenders hobby vs retail there are groups of guys who didn't show up in hobby but appear to be showing up in retail. EEE could be the same. I have pulled doubles already in just a few blasters.

As for the autographs for the most part I have seen mostly common or 2nd tier players pulled from retail. However, this year even in hobby boxes you end up pulling tons of junk autos because there is a huge autograph checklist with about 80% of them being common or unknown names. On top of that, most all the good names (Frazier, Bryant, Meadows, Appel, etc.) are #d to around 324 or less and the majority of the rest are numbered to 700-900.

But back to the question, from what I have seen, the majority of autos pulled in retail generally are $2-$5 cards.

Was curious as it seems Panini rarely puts any value into retail.

How much do theses boxes go for?

[messier2]

$30 :cool:

[shortstopguy12]

I wish I could find some... Nothing here in Canada... I would probably take 3 blasters over a hobby box

[mattpoin]

I grabbed a blaster yesterday. Three autos and one GU.

I also got two commons out of cards 1-10, when are supposed to have variations. Does anyone know the difference between 1-10 standard and the 1-10 SPs?

If you look at the background, it is a different foil. It is easiest to tell where the name is as the color behind the name is different. I think they also have a closer shot with the back of the jersey showing on the variations. I opened 2 blasters today and hit 7 Autographs, 1 Game Used USA, 1 SP Variation and 3 die cut. Sadly, with all of that, probably only about $30 in resale, but still very fun to open.

Thanks. I don't think I'd be able to recoup my $30 unless someone had a surprise breakout, but the amount of variations from the base definitely make it a fun product to open.

[crazy4kinsler]

I opened 4 blasters ($120). I got 12 autos, 5 of which were on-card, including 1 #d/10. I also got 4 GUd, 8 #d die-cuts, 7 inserts and 1 variation. Will be posting everything soon in the Box Break Section and a little later in the BST section.

I was with my wife, brother in law and his girlfriend when we bought them after lunch today. Sat in the car and opened them. My brother-in-law's girlfriend opened 1 and said cool, it's got writing on it. It was the auto #d/10. Didn't have any clue. But it was still fun.

In a normal box ($90), you get 6 autos, 2 #d cards and a couple of inserts. The way I figure, it's worth the extra $30 to double the autos, quadruple the #d die-cut inserts and get 4 GUd. Def. worth it to go retail in my opinion.

[HeritageKing]

The only way I would say these blasters are NOT worth it over hobby is if you can't get the great players in them. Anyone seen autographs of the top players in blasters?

[toddhead]

We busted a box tonight from Target and got 3 Autos, 1 USA Jersey, and two die cuts. Not too shabby!

[Big_Pete1000]

Agreed. I bought one even though I dont care for prospects. Got 3 autos (one a die cut /25 green ink), 1 usa jersey, 2 die cut numbered (1 out of /10). Very fun break. so many numbered cards and autos even if they aren't worth a ton it was only $30.

[HeritageKing]

I remember back when Mike Trout was only a 25 dollar card.

[Reverend Ghost]

Nailed it.

I bought 2 boxes of Hobby and pulled a Meadows from the first box and a Polanco in the second box. Similar scattering of base autos/die cut autos/die cuts/gu.

I bought 2 blasters at Target, pulled the 3 auto/1 GU per blaster. Each Blaster had a low numbered die cut auto (Ward/50, Trae Arbet /5).

The glaring difference is the lack of SP autos coming out of retail. There are a lot of low numbered parallels coming out of the blasters, true, but not of any 1st Rounders or Top Prospects.

I haven't seen a big name auto come out of the retail blasters. I haven't seen another Gold Die Cut Auto from the retail breaks on here other than mine.

[Reverend Ghost]

I think your Manea is probably the best base auto I've seen pulled so far from retail.
