Has anyone ever pulled a Kris Bryant Auto from 2013 Elite Blaster box

And if so do you remember if it was a redemption or not. I like redemptions better because I don't trust how much the Blaster boxes have been banged around and the condition of the cards inside. Thinking about maybe picking up a few of those from the March Madness promo

Just an FYI all the redemptions in there are expired.

I know Panini is normally pretty good at filling them you can't always count on them.

No, I redeemed a few online recently and all was good. I actually sent in an old 1998 Donruss (who they own now) Hockey Eric Lindros puck redemption card to see what would happen. They checked for me, didn't have one, but asked me who I liked. I thought about a good RC Auto they may have and said Tyler Seguin. They then sent me a 2011-12 (not an RC but I'll take it!) #/25 Autograph of Seguin. So, even though I can't stand what they're doing to the football and basketball hobbies-their good with redemptions!!

So, nobody's pulled one at all on here?

They were live. Collation wasn't the best in retail for 2013 and 2014. A lot of the same autos in boxes and a lot of redemptions. I remember opening a bunch of 2013 and 2 out of 3 times the auto was a redemption.

I opened a blaster during the Super Bowl promotion. Nothing of significant value but was a very fun break for $15. Got 2 live autos, a redemption for another auto, a jersey card, and a die-cut #/200.

Panini has a tendency to put the big names in their hobby boxes and of course, redemptions and lesser named players in blasters (unless a big name-like for instance: you will NEVER pull a Cam or Julio Jones out of a 2011 football blaster-only possible #/99 SP's). But for minor league baseball players in 2013, I don't know if Kris Bryant and Jose Abreu had as much hype to do that. Just too many autographs and I have bought some prior and was pulling green or red auto's/10, and even a "Back to the Future" one. So, may grab some more. So many guys that nobody knows yet that could be great. Thanks for letting me know Kris Bryant is live. I assume Jose Abreu is as well (#/799).


And speaking of 2011 Contenders Football, can you believe that Julio Jones' redemption still hasn't ever been fulfilled? That's the dumbest thing. My brother redeemed his years ago and is still waiting. None on ebay, and I wrote them and got some incoherent answer. Simple solution, next autos you get out of the players (from your massive deal with the NFLPA)-Julio Jones signs his 2011 Contenders first! Or I should say signs his sticker sheet of autos.
