First Buzz: 2023 Topps Chrome MLB cards (will update) ... TacoFractors on the way! - Page 30

MotorboatJones · 07-31-2023, 05:43 PM

Has anyone seen Topps Chrome Blasters at Walmart at all yet ?

yodastories · 07-31-2023, 08:14 PM

Finally got my jumbo from Topps, it only had 2 autos. Am I pis*ing into the wind filling out the missing hit forms on their site? Anyone ever get anything but a $4 pitcher auto back a year later?

Funkster · 07-31-2023, 08:42 PM

Have opened about 7 or so blasters, pulled a green Yoshida auto out of one today. Should probably quit while im ahead.

I would think this week or next at the latest. I'd guess most vendors had already visited stores when it released last week or didn't have it yet. $35 a box though it steep for a bunch of base and maybe a #'d card in every 3-4 boxes. The guy who pulled the Jung Super got a 1:200,000 box most likely if not higher although I haven't looked at exact odds.

Still time to do some kind of Barbie movie tie-in. "Give us all your Ken's (Waldichuk)!"

That is definitely a bad box / case and not indicative of the overall QC for the product.

yeah i bought 10 boxes from target while waiting on my hobby box , the store stocked them last friday a whole case.
probably best hits where the 2 ohtani and 1 acuna and 1 negative image trevor story

Whats odd is based on postings here which is small sample it almost seems like the buyback players hit more in blasters

the price on these blasters is too high though so i'm done

ouch, that looks exactly like a box of finest i bought in 2012. the entire box was mis cut with 1/8 of the previous player on each card
Topps wasnt much help at all I think they ended up sending me like 1 packs worth of cards

Luckily you're one of very few people who seems to have hit a bad box - it's seemed like almost universal praise so far for the QC on this one. Though I do recognize that in part that may be because we were all worried for a repeat of last year's Update Chrome set, so "pretty good" ends up feeling like "almost perfect"...

In a total of 7 or so blasters I’ve hit one base Acuna, two base SO, and a pink SO.

Indeed. Have a couple of preorder hobby boxes and a jumbo I haven’t gotten to open yet so will be interesting to see how they compare. I’ve done pretty well with the half dozen retail boxes.

Seems like a sneaky way to get retail collectors to go to their local hobby shops - wouldn’t be surprised if fanatics did this on purpose.

Chrominator · 08-01-2023, 06:03 PM

So I just saw some Tacofractors, and they're even worse than they sound. WTF?

Digitaljordan · 08-01-2023, 06:12 PM

Breakers Delight boxes have completely watered down jumbo and hobby boxes.
