Best Retail Products

johncday85 · 08-10-2014, 11:57 AM

I'm sure that this has been previously discussed at some point, but I was just wondering; Which retail products have you found the most success with? Personally, I have pulled autos from the Bowman Chrome rack packs a couple of times, notably; a nick castellanos auto. Anybody else have any retail luck?

2013 bowman football I got a tavon Austin ssp auto in a blaster for 11.99 at Walmart

Kinda off-topic but are the autos in platinum on chrome card stock? or are they the same foil card stock as the base set?

Nice! Yeah I definitely go for the blasters or some configuration which isn't searchable. The bowman chrome stuff with the extra pack of refractors usually prevents this from what I can tell.

Anyone ever buy those retail buyback products? The ones from the fairfield company or whatever? I bought one for 9.99 and the planted auto was a pete rose from the leaf pete rose product. One of the topps chrome packs included also yielded a scrub red sox auto (ryan lavarnway maybe?).

I actually got more than my 9.99 on the local cardshop bidboard for these (someone actually paid like 9 bucks for the pete rose). I tried another and got a highly forgettable auto and packs of the oldest most irrelevant products ever. I was impressed the first one had chrome packs but after the second one I tried I would highly advise against these (as if you already didn't figure these were kinda lame).

Anyway just looking to share retail experiences. Thanks for the replies.

Um....how's this for retail blaster luck?

I think platinum is best bang for your buck. Autos are like 1:37; have a legit shot at good prospects too. Go with blasters or rack packs though. Stay away from loosies.

I've done one blaster ...
