Are there differences between the Walmart and Target Megas? Aside from the Bellinger inserts I'm assuming.

Just that the walmarts have the exclusive blue border cards, think that's it.

Just pulled the Dylan Carlson SSP from my first of two Target boxes

Anyone have a sense for good pricing on blasters? Seeing a range between ~27 and ~40, and trying to figure out how where I should be settling.

okumeister · 03-24-2021, 03:24 PM

The tins from Topps.com purchase have finally shipped.

cj828282 · 03-24-2021, 09:38 PM

Looks like some of the exclusive tin chrome cards have hit the bay. So far Clemente, Molina and Clark.

$20. They’re retail blasters of Series 1. There will be a ferocious amount of this out there. And the flippers will eventually have to move their stock.

Finally found some Walgreen hangers

nothing amazing but hit my first auto

Well, that is what SHOULD happen, in a normal world. Instead though, I think anytime you can get these for $30 or less total (including shipping, tax, etc), that's the best you can realistically hope for. These will continue to be stocked for a period of time at retail outlets, but that will stop being regular probably in the next month or two. Then, these likely begin to move upwards if ANY of the Series 1 Rookies start off hot.

The guys with retail contracts (like me) likely sold the amount of this that they wanted to already (or sold all their inventory) and won't begin to put more out until prices rise. There are big players in the wax market actively paying $22-24 for these in quantity, so don't expect these to ever get to $20 regularly in quantity.

To buy or to sell? If you're a retail flipper....

If you're buying from these scalpers...don't (everyone who keeps buying from these people just perpetuates the cycle)

Dunno what happened @ the big 2 (Wally & the Bullseye), but at my local regional Big Box (the purples), S1 blasters are $25 this year. They have already been 1-2 dollars higher going back several years now.

Their special blister pack product remained $3.50, though I didn’t see any till Meijers cut the MJ rep out of the chain completely about a month after release.

Slickhits89 · 03-25-2021, 02:51 PM

Local target and Walmart had full stock today. Blasters hangers fat packs and cellos. I wouldn’t pay over msrp on this. I even had to turn away cause I’ve already spent too much money on series 1 ��

bpc3qh · 03-25-2021, 03:02 PM

I appreciate this, thanks. It appears I've been overpaying on Blasters, since I've been paying 35-40 all-in.

cj828282 · 03-25-2021, 03:58 PM

And we have a live tin. Here is a picture of the odds. With the odds of 1:5,378 per 70 years of Topps chrome superfractor would calculate to 376,460 total tin production. Also, about 5,000 copies of each of the base 70 years of Topps chrome cards.

Couple of tins on ebay right now. Also, purchasers of tins from tins on Topps.com have started to receive shipping notifications. So slowly being released almost 2 months after the main release.

Ah, okay thanks. I have a case coming that I pre-ordered a while back. I'll see what I can find in the wild tomorrow. But, not expecting to see these.

I am thinking tins may not be in the wild until next week or the week after. But should be plenty once live.

glassofwater · 03-25-2021, 05:44 PM

Are we getting 2 tins again? target and walmart? odds are different on each one last year.

ATeamHasNoName · 03-25-2021, 06:37 PM

I’ve cracked $150+ retail (i know that’s paltry) but have yet to sniff an SP. Is that normal?

This year, yes, that is very normal.

The abnormal part is that retail seems hotter than hobby.
