Blaster Boxes or Rack Packs?

What have you guys had better luck with? Also share some of the cards youve pulled from either.
I havent had any luck with either but always wonder which to get when at my local Target or Walmart

Blasters for me because pack searchers can't search them. I've never had a big hit out of either but I always get blasters.

I've NEVER had luck with blasters. In rack packs I've pulled some nice cards that couldn't have been searched like on-card heritage autos, a David Wright redemption and I've gotten a few jerseys in the hanger packs, too.

It depends look at the odds, some blasters like the Walmart Chrome football do not have any autos, while the Target blasters do. There is often a trade off like that so you just have to do look and see.

For the record my biggest retail hit came from a blaster.

Blasters can't be searched but I've never pulled anything good out of them. Racks I've done pretty well. Even pulled a 2012 Harper Chrome auto (redemption) out of a rack that had clearly been fanned and searched. I guess they weren't good at it. Just this year I pulled a BC orange auto Mondesi out of a rack. It isn't like I buy a lot of retail either.

Blasters are good, blisters are good, rack packs can be good. For most Topps products the blasters are the best deal, but sometimes rack packs and blister packs are cheaper than blasters of Panini products. Since Panini won't list odds on their packs, it's tough to tell if it's a better deal or not.
