Download the Target app, if don't have it, and allow notifications. The notifications from the app come well before the emails do. I have been able to score so many drops this way. That is how I scored the megas online when they originally dropped. This week, I have been able to score Prizm football megas a couple times because of the app notification.

That’s a good idea on having notifications set, I do have the app. I just know I’ll get spammed on other crap though. That’s why I have had it turned off, but I’ll deal with that if I get the chance to pick up a few more.

Got 8 of my 15 boxes today and I had to rip and glad I did. Pulled my 3rd Tiffany Stratton Gold.



The other two...

Nice hits!!!

Picked up a blaster at Target. I hit this red throwback Taker out of /99.

[RedLabelRecords]

Blaster at Target scored me a /49 Tiffy.

Singles prices are dropping. Watch those auctions if you’re looking at picking anything up.

I'd suggest waiting until the end of the month when Chrome drops as they probably get a lot lower between people moving on to the shiny new thing and people that bought a ton o of blasters/megas needing to recoup to pay for their Chrome boxes lol

This! Been keeping an eye on a couple of cards I want to grab for the PC.

[TXRunner]

Holy cow! This past Saturday I redeemed the Kiana James redemption that I pulled in a break. I received an email from Panini this morning that it shipped. UPS then sent me an email that the delivery is scheduled for tomorrow. A redemption turnaround that fast is unheard of.

Was out looking for cards today. Found nothing, until my last stop at a Target. The regular card section was picked over. I went to the toy section where they have the Pokémon overflow as they started putting value packs and old blasters there. I lifted up one of the trays and found a Select blaster. Figured what the heck, the last time I did that, I pulled the gold Rhea auto.

Well glad I did. These two cards came out of that blaster. Gold flash Jade Cargill ringside 8/10 and base flash auto of Kelani Jordan.

Lucky stuff. Always trust your gut instinct!

[TXRunner]

Was out with my son last night looking for cards. Found three Select blasters. My son decided to grab them. He pulled a gold /10 Maxxine Dupri, orange flash ringside Giulia, and a base flash auto of Bob Orton. Not too shabby.

[ssilva872]

Great stuff indeed.

No joke even in the break section I'd love to see your haul of top hits when you are (finally lol) done with Select. Ive been in and out of here but almost every time it feels you have picked up some retail and got a great hit with your son. Your luck has been incredible lol and would be cool to see all in one place so I can cry at the possibilities I never hit lol jk

LOL. I will have to put all my select hits together one of these days. My son has sold off some of his bigger hits (tiger ringside Punk, gold Cora Jade /10) so that he could buy some of the bigger cards of his PC, Trick Williams and Cody.

I pretty much have all of my big hits still. I am actually contemplating on sending off a bunch to get graded.

I was out hunting yesterday and found a couple of of Select blasters over a couple of stores. I am now contemplating on going back and getting them.

Blaster have been popping up online. Bought a few since I recalled retail for this being good, opened 2 and boy howdy they were hot hot garbage.

Sorry dude it was Megas mostly producing fire, some blasters were good but some people are just Select lucky. Blasters have always been garbage for me.

Not sure price diff currently but I’d rather open a select mega than Topps Chrome which is likely more expensive

[thenightman]

Fire, you say? Why, yes, the mega boxes absolutely produced fire.

Well if I didn't feel bad about my pulls before I do now haha. If you ever decide you don't want that Evans please let me know.

I do have it listed on eBay, but I’m just seeing what the market is right now.

They absolutely have been good QC. I previously subbed some autos and those also came back as 10’s. 2023 is really good too. Surfaces and edges are really good, it’s the centering you gotta watch out for, but even that’s been really good.

Very nice! I need to get off my butt and get my Select submitted to PSA. I am really on the fence about sending the /5 gold Rhea auto.

Is that the gold auto or the green prizm? If it's the green, is it concourse, premier, or ringside? I always compare the non-autos to PSA 10s to see if the centering is close. If it is, I pull the trigger. I've put my hands on somewhere around 1k cards of this set and the surface has been excellent throughout, so for me it's all about centering. That does extend to autos, as well, especially the Legendary and Signature Selections. The centering on ringside autos is a little more of a crapshoot, but, fingers crossed, I have yet to get anything less than a 10 on those. Suffice to say, I've been overly strict on what I pick up when it comes to Ringside autos.

It's the gold ringside auto. I also have a Jey Uso ringside auto I am considering sending in.

Have you graded any Firestorm? I have a Taker that I was going to send in.

Agree about the surface. I have a ton of 2024 Select. One of my favorite sets ever. Between all the breaks I bought into, the megas, and all the blasters I found on shelves, it piled up really fast. LOL.
