I received a 10 blaster shipment from Fanatics, highlights were a Miguel Cabrera camo, Nico Hoerner rainbow foil and a Bo Bichette SP. There was also a black Vlad insert in the Bichette pack (/299). By comparison, I had a similarly priced 2 hobby box shipment that hit a Judge sketch, a manufactured relic and some non chase parallels. Both had a similar mix of desired rookie cards. I see those as about equal in price and odds.

I think discounted retail is a better value than overpriced hobby, especially when the desired hits can certainly miss.

The current Fanatics sale and Costco gift certificate combo mentioned earlier lead me to order 7 more blasters, with the GC's essentially paying for shipping and tax.
