Looks like they are hitting GameStop. If you get them for $30 at least you have a limited loss. Blaster in general are pretty long odds to hit something good. So I guess it’s whatever your risk tolerance is and if you are cool with $30 not yielding anything great.

I'd like to grab a few to rip and one to keep...

I have yet to see any but I hope that changes.

Demographics most likely plays a role in which Gamestops will have these or not.


Hobby boxes are just ridonkulous coming out the gate like 2020 Chrome F1.

Finished off the base set, Icons, Future Stars and Iron Man Gold last night, and closing in on some of the other insert sets as well.

I find that many times anyone is claiming color matches, it is to try and justify high asking prices. Not always, as there are actually some of us collectors still out there, but many times.

Okay, well it was just a guess, take it or leave it. Just quickly checked Beast parallels and an orange /25 goes for less than a blue /299. Seems odd, yeah?

Obviously I said "overvalued" which is why I sold the spiderman web parallel I pulled ... just letting people know what appears to be happening on the secondary market at this moment. Nowhere in my listing title or text did I try to say that this was the parallel match for the card.

I actually just walked into a Walmart while the people were unloading boxes. They gave me stink eye so I’m going to circle back after walking around for a bit. Wish me luck!

Went into my local GameStop, and wow, just shut the company down. What a rat's nest of a store. Nothing organized, just junk everywhere, nothing alphabetized, shut it down.

Bought one blaster from Target. I think the chrome quality is the best I have seen for ANY chrome release since the 1990's. That said, last pack magic yielded a Spiderman 2099 /299 Blue refractor.

What is the lowest numbered cards in the blaster box to pull?

Are blasters a good buy and hold product?

1/1's are in blasters, some are blaster exclusive. Most blaster cases seem to average a /10 at least.

the odds of pulling a card numbered to 10 or less in blasters is 1:1190 packs on average.(I did the summation so you dont have to)
A case is 40 boxs with 7 packs in a box, so on average you get a card numbered to 10 or less in every 4.25 cases

These just restocked online at Target and lasted for a couple minutes at most. I reacted quickly to the text alert and managed to get 2. These will be the first and probably only ones I will ever find.

An absolute steal at the low low price of only $14 per card.

^Agree. Easily hits a grand shortly after release. Box prices are so out of whack compared to singles. It's comical.

Hobby went from $250 -> $600+

Sapphire going from $449 -> $900+

Oh whale, Fanatics gonna feed and breakers gonna eat.

Default 2025 Topps Chrome Marvel

As a Marvel collector, the current marvel card hobby has basically become unrecognizable. It’s mostly about flipping boxes and breaking/gambling, for sets that just aren’t interesting and super generic looking. Prices are nuts. The topps era so far has none of the charm previous eras had.

Even sketches…man…pretty silly when you see the prices some of these topps sketches are going for, and prices being asked. $50 sketches for like $300…$100 sketch for $500 or 600. Saw a maybe $250 quality sketch on a good day go for like $1500. The irony is avg sketch quality is down in the Topps era, yet their prices are higher. Shows people are just paying for the rarity of the hit vs art, or perhaps people from sports etc not in tune with sketches and their valuations paying for the character and set it’s in, vs the art.
