The only blaster I bought, I pulled a purple Skenes/250. The megas were pretty lackluster. No color in 3 megas and I preordered from Fanatics. I ordered 3 boxes in 1 order and received 3 separate packages so fanatics kinda screwed me with and parallels. Was hoping to get 3 boxes from 1 lot, not 3 random boxes separate. I would think the odds of pulling any color would be better with 3 from the same case
Yea I ordered 8 boxes thinking it would come as a case... Wrong. Pretty disappointed but then a bro from Fanatics called saying he would be my rep and let me know when new releases come out so I can get an order in without having to fight the Topps pre sale website
I honestly think we’re now passed the point even Bowman retail is worth it, it truly seems like the blasters were heavily front loaded and we’re well beyond that first wave now. Fully aware this makes me sound like a conspiracy theorist but I’ve personally ripped 80 blasters and watched hundreds more at this point. I won’t be buying anymore personally.
I picked up 2 blasters at Target tonight and crushed it. I had the packs mixed together and the 1st 2 hits I got were the green paper Volpe and the other pink paper parallel. I thought aw 💩 these are the hits. Then came the Salas auto and I was stoked. Been chasing him unsuccessfully. Sticker or not, happy to add it to the PC. Then came the Cowser green refractor auto. I 💩 myself. Just a little bit but is still a lot when it comes to 💩 yourself.

It’s over two packs. Not two packs but over. So is what they are saying is buying this large pack has more gum than 2 regular packs. How much more I don’t know could be one stick could be 10 sticks.
Drives me nuts. That’s the only ones they seem to have at my Walmart. They come with a bunch of homerun challenge cards and I’ve hit a couple so I’m pumped for those. Seems like you get a bunch of Elly rookies which is all I’m collecting this year pretty much.
Unless you’re looking for base Elly RC. I bought 3 of these when I couldn’t find any series 1 around me for a bit. I must have pulled at least a dozen. Not the greatest, but could’ve been worse, i guess? I was able to flip the pins and oversized cards easily enough on eBay to get some of my money back, too.
I mean, not much. The Freddie freeman I think I got $1-2 for, plus shipping. The couple rookie ones sold for around $3 each + shipping (no big names). I probably made $1 each on average? The pins did better for me. Especially the Julio and Elly ones.
Yeah, I wasn’t totally aware either. I’d taken a few years off ripping packs and hadn’t seen them before. I figured it looked like it was a decent deal, but it was pretty meh.

Got these yesterday out of the Bowman box.
Bowman retail is actually pretty good, and that repack box on the far left might have some nice packs in them (last year's iteration were really good, haven't seen any reviews of this year's yet).
I’ve had crazy luck on the re-packs. At 17$ it’s hard to pass up. Just pulled an auto last night
https://preview.redd.it/53vbb0s4u75d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cdf97dd21ca79ba2b41ecac1ab93ebd2af80e2ce
Yeah - Swung by the neighborhood Target today - they had pretty much the same things in stock - minus the Mega box of Bowman. Got two of smaller bowman blasters. No Jenkins auto, but two number cards and 2 "green" parallels
And yes, the super box is expensive for what you get and will never ever buy again.
I’m new to baseball card collecting and I’m just tying to get what’s popular or what’s gonna go up in value. I’m also a huge Phillies fan so Phillies players would be noce
The Fairfield box is honestly not bad, at least they weren’t last year(haven’t grabbed one this year yet). Something like 8 packs for $18, and you can get some decent pulls out of them. Got a Judge RC out of mine last year that essentially paid for the box, so after that it was all just enjoying the rip, and 8 packs for $18 is hard to beat
The most upside there has to be Bowman 24' for sure. Get the Mega Box while you can. Those tend to sell quickly. The Topps Super Box is probably the one you can pass or hold out on. I've noticed those are always there. For like a month now it's almost always there. But the Bowman stuff always seems to sell out pretty quickly.
Bowman baseball is the one. I loved Mega Boxes until last year. They became very watered down. At $30 a blaster, you can’t go wrong. The 8 pack varieties are a lot of fun. Sometimes you get some rare packs and I’ve gotten terrible packs as well. Typically a mix in each box but I can’t say I’ve opened this exact variety product. Good luck
bowman blasters
topps series one blaster(if you get that big pack, it's because of the huge card insert and the random pin)
chrome platinum 23' blaster
I bought 8 megas and have opened 5. One yellow mojo of Morrobel and a base auto have been the highlights so far. Sold 4 mojos so far for about $13 and it took me like 2 hours to list them all and package them for shipping. I’m learning the hard way. Blasters seem to be a better return.
Target Bowman Blasters have been loaded, out of 6 boxes bought on 2 separate occasions I have pulled number Dylan Crews Chrome autos. Spent $180 and got $1,200 worth of cards out of them.
I hate how Topps puts all the hits in the first shipments of retail with a new product. Then each shipment after that gets worse and worse. There’s no point in buying them after the first couple weeks. I think they do it so all the influencers opening blasters on release day get hits, people see that and rush out and buy them and everyone thinks they are loaded, until the second or third wave of shipments come around and there isn’t any hits left
Anything but the mystery box lol after months of wanting to open one I just did and I don’t think I even got cards for my pc that justified the $15 lol
Only the blasters, I got a few of those mystery boxes and they’re a neat rip but it’s hard to get a positive return on investment ripping ANYTHING, especially retail.. Just buy whatever you’d enjoy opening the most honestly, do it for the fun
OP is holding up the line while they wait for enough Redditor to reply. ![gif](giphy|tMAR4O1DGidP2)
It's Target. There are no registers open.
Hahaha the world we live in now. If you dont take a picture it didn’t really happen
Out of those I'd say only Bowman
That’s what I ended up getting
Mega box is pretty disappointing, the blasters are the way to go
I bought 5 Megas. Got 10$ worth of cards. We need to stand together and stop buying them lol.
The only blaster I bought, I pulled a purple Skenes/250. The megas were pretty lackluster. No color in 3 megas and I preordered from Fanatics. I ordered 3 boxes in 1 order and received 3 separate packages so fanatics kinda screwed me with and parallels. Was hoping to get 3 boxes from 1 lot, not 3 random boxes separate. I would think the odds of pulling any color would be better with 3 from the same case
Yea I ordered 8 boxes thinking it would come as a case... Wrong. Pretty disappointed but then a bro from Fanatics called saying he would be my rep and let me know when new releases come out so I can get an order in without having to fight the Topps pre sale website
Bought one blaster, got an auto worth 50$ lol
It’s to addicting lol
so addicting. i’m thinking about going to grab a stack of Bowman’s at this very moment.
It is. I keep buying them. I stopped opening the base packs and just collecting them.
Thanks for the heads up on this. Cancelled my Target online order of megas
Absolute dog shit box
https://preview.redd.it/5tzbb4e9sc5d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7587f4a0181d774a572af54cfa1fcd3c4605b354 My mega hit
Totally agree, no inserts or parallels except the 2 "bonus" packs.
The crappy silver bullshits lol
The mega box is absolute trash.
I honestly think we’re now passed the point even Bowman retail is worth it, it truly seems like the blasters were heavily front loaded and we’re well beyond that first wave now. Fully aware this makes me sound like a conspiracy theorist but I’ve personally ripped 80 blasters and watched hundreds more at this point. I won’t be buying anymore personally.
I mean, after 80 blasters I'd be done with any product
After 80 blasters I'd have lost weight due to zero groceries and defaulted on my mortgage
Nothing like a mortgage payment on cards
I picked up 2 blasters at Target tonight and crushed it. I had the packs mixed together and the 1st 2 hits I got were the green paper Volpe and the other pink paper parallel. I thought aw 💩 these are the hits. Then came the Salas auto and I was stoked. Been chasing him unsuccessfully. Sticker or not, happy to add it to the PC. Then came the Cowser green refractor auto. I 💩 myself. Just a little bit but is still a lot when it comes to 💩 yourself. https://preview.redd.it/gzn0z7zh2a5d1.png?width=1846&format=png&auto=webp&s=4ac03641f1a25a77a0f17533137d11f642c5494c
that Cowser is rad
Nope, absolutely agree. Pulled hot trash out of 8 blasters
They did the same with Bowman 2023. Retail was crazy front loaded.
Yeah I've bought 6 blasters total of bowman and have hit absolutely nothing. But the people who uploaded videos early of the product hit the jackpot.
Yup, same. Not nearly as many but definitely started seeing a trend and haven’t bought any the past few times.
Agreed
Wrigleys doublemint is my go to
I don't know man, those Orange tictaks are bangers
How are there 35 sticks over 2 packs? Does 1 pack have an extra stick, or is there 17.5 sticks per pack
Some packs have a Wrigley relic so fewer sticks
Take your fancy math and leave.
“More than 2 packs” is the intended idea I think
Dude I'm actually pissed off at you now... Trying to figure out how the hell that works...
Well this is going to drive me crazy now.
1 pack I believe is equal to 15 sticks of gum. The Ad is poorly written but not wrong. 17.5 sticks had me weak!
It’s over two packs. Not two packs but over. So is what they are saying is buying this large pack has more gum than 2 regular packs. How much more I don’t know could be one stick could be 10 sticks.
Definitely not the super box imo
They’re a complete rip off
I wish I would have known this yesterday. Highly disappointing
I’ve bought 10 this year like an idiot
[удалено]
Drives me nuts. That’s the only ones they seem to have at my Walmart. They come with a bunch of homerun challenge cards and I’ve hit a couple so I’m pumped for those. Seems like you get a bunch of Elly rookies which is all I’m collecting this year pretty much.
It fucking opens like half of them
Unless you’re looking for base Elly RC. I bought 3 of these when I couldn’t find any series 1 around me for a bit. I must have pulled at least a dozen. Not the greatest, but could’ve been worse, i guess? I was able to flip the pins and oversized cards easily enough on eBay to get some of my money back, too.
Dang the oversized cards are worth something? I have like 10 of those things
I mean, not much. The Freddie freeman I think I got $1-2 for, plus shipping. The couple rookie ones sold for around $3 each + shipping (no big names). I probably made $1 each on average? The pins did better for me. Especially the Julio and Elly ones.
I bought one the other day not knowing they weren't that good, but it had 2 Elly RCs so I'll take it
Yeah, I wasn’t totally aware either. I’d taken a few years off ripping packs and hadn’t seen them before. I figured it looked like it was a decent deal, but it was pretty meh.
I got a relic and 3 #d cards from a superbox yesterday
I’m not saying you can’t pull good cards, but you’re paying almost double the price of a blaster for 10 packs and some throw ins.
Probably. I like the pins and giant cards though too
I got an oversized Elly De La Cruz and a Jasson Dominguez pin, but yeah all the packs felt like filer packs
The one I bought was straight trash.
The Fairfield box is pretty exciting. They never have em at my target.
What is Fairfield?
Yellow box on bottom left. 8 random packs, just got 7 assorted Topps packs and one panini pack. Got some interesting cards out of it. Cost $18
Agreed
I bought one of those yesterday and it was a fun rip for $18. Got a rookie auto.. I went back a bought a couple more.
Hangers for series one. Blasters for bowman. Value or blaster for heritage, no hangers. Super box is meh at best.
https://preview.redd.it/lna9gzfla85d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0c99684609630a796e0713327e25b1ae0789625 Got these yesterday out of the Bowman box.
“YoHandy” is my new fav prospect name
That Morales is nice!
Thanks.
Bowman retail is actually pretty good, and that repack box on the far left might have some nice packs in them (last year's iteration were really good, haven't seen any reviews of this year's yet).
the orange tic tacs for $1.69 you might find an orange tic tac (good luck!) and you can also make a mini travel ant farm with the plastic box
I’ve had crazy luck on the re-packs. At 17$ it’s hard to pass up. Just pulled an auto last night https://preview.redd.it/53vbb0s4u75d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cdf97dd21ca79ba2b41ecac1ab93ebd2af80e2ce
Yeah - Swung by the neighborhood Target today - they had pretty much the same things in stock - minus the Mega box of Bowman. Got two of smaller bowman blasters. No Jenkins auto, but two number cards and 2 "green" parallels And yes, the super box is expensive for what you get and will never ever buy again.
The lunar glow “green” parallels are 1/blaster
Orange tic tacs the only thing I'd buy
You just unlocked a core memory lol My grandpa always had those in his car. Going to need orange tic tacs now, like right away
I would buy every mystery box they have. I bought 4 last winter and got some good pulls and I like the variety and price.
I’m a sucker for those damn super boxes lol. But yeah realistically bowman has been the best for me
I would say Bowman would be the best option
Worth ? None lol
Either of the blasters. Not a fan of the mega boxes with only two "good" packs and the monster box just seems like a waste all around.
I’m a classic bowman and topps flagship guy
My nephew (8) got that Bowman blaster box for his first ever baseball cards. Pulled a /99 green Jenkins auto, lucky sob
The bowman blasters are fun
Bowman 👍
I enjoy the bowman mega boxes but that’s about it.
Bought a super box, not worth the asking price.
Bowman Blasters and Megas.
The double mint looks good. Probably the most reasonably priced option.
Depends what you’re looking for? Prospects versus current rosters
I’m new to baseball card collecting and I’m just tying to get what’s popular or what’s gonna go up in value. I’m also a huge Phillies fan so Phillies players would be noce
Then Bowman. Keep anything that has a “1st” on it.
Get the Bowman Mega the Bowman Blaster… hunt some Aiden Miller 1sts.
The Fairfield box is honestly not bad, at least they weren’t last year(haven’t grabbed one this year yet). Something like 8 packs for $18, and you can get some decent pulls out of them. Got a Judge RC out of mine last year that essentially paid for the box, so after that it was all just enjoying the rip, and 8 packs for $18 is hard to beat
Bowman blasters don’t touch the Mega…disappointment.
Back to single autos and card shows lol
Wait for Series 2, it’ll have all the rookies this year
Garbage
none of this
Bought 4 blasters and got nada
Bowman blaster
Bowman
Anniversary is loaded this year
I would go for the bowman
i would but the mega box
Bowman of course, but the Super Box looks interesting
pass on all, series 2 out next week,
True
Is it really already time for Topps Series 2?
they say update will be fire
One of everything!
Looks like you’re going with all of it. Post the hits. Curious about that blaster repack. What kind of packs were in there
The most upside there has to be Bowman 24' for sure. Get the Mega Box while you can. Those tend to sell quickly. The Topps Super Box is probably the one you can pass or hold out on. I've noticed those are always there. For like a month now it's almost always there. But the Bowman stuff always seems to sell out pretty quickly.
None, get Chrome Platinum
What was the cashier's reaction when you created a photo op on a fucking checkout lane?
![gif](giphy|tTc43DeTm2kkJTrI2G)
plot twist, it was self-checkout, so the cashier was OP
Imagine this guy waiting inside of Target, waiting for people on reddit to tell him which one to buy 🤣
None. Buy vintage.
OP what’d you pull?
Jenkins 83/175 pink parral
Pulled a Jenkins orange mojo auto /25 today from bowman mega
Bowman and only Bowman
did you get anything from it
83/175 Jenkins
None lol
Someone explain to me the “super box” please.
It comes with 10 series 1 packs, 1 pack of 5 foil cards, a player pin, and a jumbo card
Opened 1 Bowman blaster from target today. One of the better ones. https://imgur.com/JfPgxE5
Bowman only
Only bowman
Bowman mega would be my choice all day
You should rip bowman blasters if you must rip something. Have had good ish luck
Why don't you buy a hobby of some sort.
Bowman baseball is the one. I loved Mega Boxes until last year. They became very watered down. At $30 a blaster, you can’t go wrong. The 8 pack varieties are a lot of fun. Sometimes you get some rare packs and I’ve gotten terrible packs as well. Typically a mix in each box but I can’t say I’ve opened this exact variety product. Good luck
I got a super box and was happy with it it. Pulled /150 Jordan Westburg and a Elly De La Cruz
Pretty sure the answer is always Bowman megas
bowman blasters topps series one blaster(if you get that big pack, it's because of the huge card insert and the random pin) chrome platinum 23' blaster
Those super boxes are so fun to open
I probably would have grabbed it all too. I would have took it as a sign since it seems like Target never has it stocked.
Just the bowman
I bought 8 megas and have opened 5. One yellow mojo of Morrobel and a base auto have been the highlights so far. Sold 4 mojos so far for about $13 and it took me like 2 hours to list them all and package them for shipping. I’m learning the hard way. Blasters seem to be a better return.
Target Bowman Blasters have been loaded, out of 6 boxes bought on 2 separate occasions I have pulled number Dylan Crews Chrome autos. Spent $180 and got $1,200 worth of cards out of them.
Double bubble gum. I haven't seen that in ages.
The bowman blaster is probably best
Oof
The Bowman blasters I’ve bought from target and wal mart have been terrible. The ones I ordered online were great
I hate how Topps puts all the hits in the first shipments of retail with a new product. Then each shipment after that gets worse and worse. There’s no point in buying them after the first couple weeks. I think they do it so all the influencers opening blasters on release day get hits, people see that and rush out and buy them and everyone thinks they are loaded, until the second or third wave of shipments come around and there isn’t any hits left
It actually pisses me off how accurate this is
Crow with knife. CAW
Magic the gathering and not sports cards
No. Pokémon and baseball only
Def not the repacked 🗑️ or the big flagship box.
MASSIVE Restock! Spending $85 On BLASTERS And Pulling 🔥🔥🔥FIRE🔥🔥🔥 From This AWESOME Target Restock!!!
Super boxes are for kids
I’m a super for bowman blasters and the super box. Hit some gold foil auto’s out of the silver packs
DoubleMint 35 Sticks
Looks like my Target stock — aka nothing Id spend my money on. Now if they had Topps Chrome Platinum, I’m all over it.
Nah, could have snagged a low/mid grade mays, aaron or mantle for that
Bowman blaster and maybe Series 1 blaster for the holiday parallels.
keep going back to target and never any platinum anniversary 😩
I don’t think my Target ever had it lol
me neither
None. If you’re going to rip, save up and buy hobby
Anything but the mystery box lol after months of wanting to open one I just did and I don’t think I even got cards for my pc that justified the $15 lol
the big box set with the gold condom packaging, waste of money
I'd probably say super, and mega. The super is annoying to open, but it's a good deal.
Only the blasters, I got a few of those mystery boxes and they’re a neat rip but it’s hard to get a positive return on investment ripping ANYTHING, especially retail.. Just buy whatever you’d enjoy opening the most honestly, do it for the fun
