2009 & 2010 Topps Walmart and Target cards

[Jack Straw]

Where these random inserts or one per pack type? I have never seen the 2009 Update
cards for either Target or Walmart any idea how those where distributed? Anyone have any
of these cards they want to show off?

I *think* they were included in the blaster boxes only. Unsure of the insertion ratio.

I still need

In the Target and Wal-Mart exclusive blasters they had 1 pack per blaster that contained all of them. The Wal-Mart has the Black Border and Target has the Retro.

Two packs per Blaster. And You have to read the Target boxes. They run out, and replace with plain Blasters--no retro cards. Read the fine print on the Target boxes. I think all Wal-Mart Blasters have them--which would lead me to believer there are less Target cards than Wal-Mart cards, but I can't confirm that. Just a hunch.

 

[Jack Straw]

They sure don't seem in abundance? What about the 2009 Traded? Was that a blaster box
only thing also?

 

[Greg Cleveland]

One of my favorites (bought it for $4.)

And in case you wondered how they would look autographed...

I have plenty of both, but not many scanned. Too many commons, and not enough keepers! :lol:

They are awesome cards and as time goes by, harder to locate.

As mentioned, they are only in pretty much the first runs of Target/WalMart Blasters. i never did see any of the limited ones at Target this year. all they have are the "plain" blasters.

a few weeks back i got lucky at WalMart and found this on the shelf:

Wal-Marts are putting out a lot of 2008, 2009 and some 2010 Blasters at 40% off. If anybody busts 2008 Timeline, LMK!

These are so cool sorry.. I just bought the 2 Griffey Walmart Traded .

 

[TBTwinsFan]

I have a Stras from this year (not anything special, I know )

as far as 2008 goes, Series 1 was ALL black from Wal-Mart. Series 2 had 1-2 packs per box that were black parallels.

 

[Jack Straw]

There are 2008 Walmart cards? :shock: I need to see them..

 

[Jack Straw]

These were inserted in Walmart packs in 2006

 

[Jack Straw]

2006 Frito Lay bags for about 2 weeks in June. Walmart only, these are super tough.

 

[abeabe]

Wowzers, this is 1st year I've noticed them, guess I hadnt been shopping at walmart enough

 

[Greg Cleveland]

I do not think they had Black parallels at W-M in 2008. They had other exclusives in 2008--like Albert Pujols on a 1982 Topps design--that are jsut known as Wal-Mart Exclusives. target and W-M both started their own parallels in 2009. Series I, Series II and Updates.

 

[mrangrydonut]

I have the complete series 1 set of 2009 Topps Target retro parallels.

Also, I just finished up series 1 of the 2011 Topps Target retro parallel set. I hope to complete all the series this year.

what i really like about the Target Retros is that they are like Topps cards used to be before 1992 Topps changed their format to what we have today
