Was at Target and saw a 2010 BDP Blaster, looked at it, put it down.

It's been a long time coming, but after more BDP Boxes then i care to admit or remember,
i've "lost that loving feeling".

Im more interested in 8 packs of 1981 Topps for $20 then 8 packs of 2010 Baseball for $20

there are no card shops here, so my exposure to hobby boxes is only online. there was a while
there that i kept tabs on blowout hoping for a good black friday sale, but they didnt do anything,
and i stopped looking at their stuff for the most part.

Given the two side by side, no chance I'd take any year of Bowman Chrome, Draft or similar over an equal amount of 1981. No chance. Probably my favorite set of the 80s.

It was much more fun pulling base of your player and the once in a while all star glossy.

Not sure why you ever bought them in the first place E. Heck you didn't open half of them anyway!

i'm buying more vintage and maybe a case of new

Bigfan5 · Dec 20, 2010

I'm absolutely with you on that one. My grandma would bring me a box of 81 topps baseball every time she came to the house that year (she came over quite a bit) and it's still one of my favorites.

And given the choice of new or old wax, I just bought rack packs of 75 topps for the price of a couple of boxes of new draft.

love the smell (+ wax…+ gum…mmmm tasty) in some of the older packs. retail never really thrilled me (always pulled ish LOL), so I can usually avoid it…though I did cave recently + ripped a box of '10 bc retail. Nothing worth mentioning which reminded me why I don't rip retail hah

There were no glossy cards in 1981 Topps.

To that extent, there were no all-star subsets in 1981 topps. The All-Star players had a border at the top of the card noting same.

In fact, there wer no glossy cards inserted in wax packs at all in the 80s. In Rack Packs, I believe starting in 1983 (definitely in 84, but I believe in 83), you would have a glossy All-Star card on the front of the rack of any of the starting players including the manager.
