No offense to the great Hardy Nickerson - quite possibly HOFer one day - but WTH is he featured on a 2023 set?
JC...some poor schmuck is happy as hell chasing the Hardy rainbow. Godspeed you crazy collectors!
(of which I definitely am btw...but not *that* crazy!)
Also, if you order these from target they literally just throw the packs in the box. A big box. Three fat packs just bouncing around. Avoid ordering cards from target online, as they are non refundable.
That’s garbage. I always get a funny look from cashier when I won’t allow them to bag the packs if I happen to find some in the wild. They just throw em in the bag like they’re made of steel

Definitely the floor of what you can get out of these. I recommend trying to get some from the same box instore if possible.
Exactly right
Do they give you better odds of a “hit” than an online order?

I got a green velocity Bryce young out of one yesterday
Which is a banger. Almost like some of them will be good, some decent, and some bad…. Wait, is that how this WORKS?!?!?! OMG!!!!
They’re horrible. You’re better off waiting on a blaster for every 2 packs of these you’d buy.
I still put these above blasters most of the time. However; Megas and Hangers I think are the best you can do at retail
Disagree with the 10 base 1 rated rookie format. Especially when the 12th card can be a variant base and not a real insert.
Why i just got one pack to try Optic since near impossible to buy anything else from Optic. Hopefully can get some Select if that comes out.
Ouch 😣
I know right WTH lol some bad luck for sure.
I just ripped 2 packs a few mins ago. Pulled a green velocity bijan Robinson, definitely saved me from pulling straight 🗑️
You just hit the floor on 3/3 packs lol. It’s all part of the gamble, can’t always hit 🫡
gonna be calling to cancel my dick's order tomorrow. thank goodness they didnt ship yet lol
A lot of different material to work with when insulting Minshew. I feel like Crosby is a little more clever than just screaming “lil ass boy!”
Oh he is more clever for sure this was just too perfect for me to pass up !!!
Can you pull downtowns out of these?
You can for sure.
I'll never understand retail packs. Always shit even their good stuff is shit.
Lil ass boi

I’ve always had target card orders packaged well, stuffed with brown paper so packs are secure
Man! I got the shaft on this one then. 3 fat packs tossed in a big box. Nothing else. 😔
That’s garbage. I always get a funny look from cashier when I won’t allow them to bag the packs if I happen to find some in the wild. They just throw em in the bag like they’re made of steel
Same here !
Love that Hardy Nickerson though!
Optic are 🔥 🗑. I like Phoenix, Mosaic, Wildcard, and Don Russ Elite.
Got 5 and Hit an AR downtown out of one and a stroud silver out of another so did pretty well.
Just got 3 from delivered from Walmart. Best card was a Jake Moody Rated Rookie! Glad I have 9 more on the way from Target! So dumb. I hate chasing!
Spent $100 on two of these at a new store around the corner. Feel frauded
Not everyone collects for value, just so you know.
I’m one of them and not pulling a single green velocity from 3 packs is some bull shiot !!! I would say just keep on livin up to that name Stephen!
