Mehhh ok deal at $40 I suppose for 10 retail packs, a box topper of some kind, a crappy pin and a pack of 5 silver foil board cards.

I wonder if these packs replace the foilboards normally found in the retail complete sets or if they are something new.

"1 Exclusive 5 Card Pack Containing Silver Patterned Foilboard Cards (50 to Collect)"

Are these the cards usually packed out in WM Factory Sets? Or is this going to be a different design from Flagship? Guess we will find out soon.

What's the consensus here on this Acuna GU mem? Blood? Boogers? Dirt? Not even numbered but has this special treat.

I wonder if the "25 oversized cards" are just the jumbo box boxtoppers, repackaged. That's 25 oversized cards.

Jolten Joe · 02-26-2023, 12:50 PM

It says " Collect all 25 base cards" so I'm assuming it's different from the hobby box toppers and will be 25 of the best Base cards aka Top Stars and Rookies.

Make sense to have a retail exclusive to get people to buy these. The number of cards to collect are small enough to peak interest. 10 pins and 25 oversized cards.

No gum though, not super.

Bought a blaster just because I wanted to open some cards and get some of the rookies. Zero expectations for any value in the blaster but somehow the value was less than zero. 6 of the 7 packs had 13 cards instead of 14. Also, did not receive a single Stars of MLB card in the blaster. None of the top rookies. Just base and an Altuve 88 insert, Yelich 30/30 insert, and a Ketel Marte manufactured relic. I mean, I wasn’t expecting any monetary value, but I at least wanted to have some fun and get a variety of cards. Really disappointing. I would have been happy with a few more worthless inserts, a parallel or two, and a decent rookie. This is gross.

I ripped one relic box (blaster?). Got a Freddie Freeman Home Field Advantage.

Aces Bieber. Chrome Bregman insert. One rainbow foil. One blue. Two '88 inserts (riley greene & vinnie P). I expected to get what you got, and I actually did much, much better. The relic was javy baez/Tigers...as bad as it gets.

I ripped my Jumbo box (direct from Topps) yesterday and still need about 5 cards for a complete base set

. Two of the needs are league leaders cards, which I believe will all be horizontal cards. Oddly, the blaster box had ZERO horizontal base cards. And provided zero cards I still needed for the base set.

Anyone else rip 7-pack blasters and get all vertical base cards? Wondering if that's a thing, or just random. (Michael Harris base is horizontal...)

towerymt · 02-26-2023, 03:47 PM

Jumbo box highlights:

3x Gold /2023
5x Gold Foil
5x Rainbow Foil
3x Aces insert
3x Greatest Hits (one blue, Freddie Freeman)
3x 30/30 insert
2x one two punch insert
10x 1988 insert
Silver packs all base
1x orange foil (shown above)
1x red foil (shown above)
1x relic ... Tony Gwynn? No way that was worn by Gwynn.
1x auto (/99 black, shown above)

Box was dented but I had decided to rip it before I received it (vs. resell), and the cards were fine on that bottom pack.

So a souped up mega box?

kabe586 · 02-27-2023, 10:33 AM

Does anybody know if fanatics still lets you buy hobby/jumbo boxes using gift cards? At one point I saw somebody mention a 'limit' to how much you can purchase on a gift card

Thanks! I thought it was a $10 limit, 10 gift card limit is much better.

The pins in question

PeteD · 02-27-2023, 11:14 AM

Oddball collectors will love those pins.

Jolten Joe · 02-27-2023, 12:32 PM

I'm not convinced those are what the actual pins look like until we actually see one in hand from a pack. I personally think that photo is a cartoony mock up but we will see.

eastbayak · 02-27-2023, 12:42 PM

I'm interested in knowing more about the silver patterned foilboard print-run.

Let's just say I guarantee you there are more than 700-900 like the complete set ones.

Nobody knows how many super boxes were made yet but if I was a gambling man I'd say upwards of 15,000+. Biggest question will be are they a Walmart exclusive and are they random packs or does every single pack contain the same 5 cards.

DioBrando · 02-27-2023, 12:50 PM

Ugh at the oversized card. As much as I hate any and all mini cards, oversized cards are even worse
