That would seem to be the case...bought another blaster (that makes 3 now), got nothing but base cards again....and pretty much exactly the same rookies as I pulled in the first 2 I bought.
Now I have 3 Lucks and 3 of several no-names, but still no RGIII, Blackmon, Wilson, Weeden....
Absolutely horrible collation.
You can never judge a product by retail blasters.
Go into a hobby shop to get an accurate representation.

I'm not judging by retail.
Over on BO some guys are having some great luck on these so I asked for a couple for Christmas and nothing in the two.

that's rough, thought the blasters had like a 1 in 6 odds of getting an auto based off the odds per pack, like 1 in 40 or something.

yeah, 1:41 packs is the odds printed on the pack, so 1 every 6 blasters is right on target.
I'n not pissed about not getting an auto while some others say they're hitting gold; I'm more concerned with getting 3 Dre Kirkpatrick, 3 Michael Egnew, and 3 Shea McClellin RCs, plus several doubles of other lesser rookies, out of 24 packs.
Topps' collation problem has been worse across the board this year than any year I can remember previously.
A&G baseball was bad, Bowman Platinum baseball was bad, Topps Chrome baseball was horrible, Topps Chrome football was bad, Platinum football was horrible, now Strata is horrible.
Obviously, there's a problem at the factory-level with the machines packing out retail, if some blaster cases are yielding hit after hit after hit, yet others are yielding absolutely nothing despite the odds stated.

I have loads of hobby base for trade or sell, if you re interested.
Also, my opinion of this product, absolute junk. I opened a case for Christmas. You can see my case break here:

I think this product is garbage, I'm glad nobody that I collect is in it.

Ill PM a list. Not that I wanted to build the set but after buying 6-7 Blasters I'm less than 20 cards so may as well finish and sell it. Product is junk but I hit more than I did in Prime retail.

Once I learned that Jacory Harris made this set with autos in his full fledged Eagles training camp gear, I knew I'd never spend a dime on a box of this product. The cards do look nice though. I love the patches with the plastic casing.

Be careful because retail and hobby have different base cards

I hate when they do this. It makes completing a set a pure pain!

Agreed. Especially when the price of a card or set in retail is like .6 of hobby. Use 2012 Prime for example. 20 bucks a blaster and 10 a rack pack and the price difference is not close.
