Nice hits... At the Dollar Tree??

[Techniq]

So Dollar Tree often offers brand name packs that do not come with anything but base and various 5/20/30 card repacks with various brands and years.. Which usually only offers base and some inserts of all types of cards from late 70s to now.

Today I saw a bunch of the 5 packs, which I usually pass on but the first card showing on about 15 of them were 2013 Topps Walmart blue border parallels so I was like welllll ok that's kinda cool.

Well while I was opening them I was a bit shocked to also find a Dustin Pedroia 2014 Topps Heritage Chrome Black Refractor /65 and a Cal Ripken Jr. 2000 Gold Collecibles 23kt Gold Game Used Bat /1000

These are better hits than I've gotten lately buying packs lol they're not huge but really good for me and I was shocked to see this come out of both a repack AND a dollar store

Wow, that is impressive! I've bought a few of those repacks at my local DT but nothing like that to speak of.

Hit a Ruth cut at Family Dollar one time.

I hit this at a Dollar Tree - probably spent what it was worth over the next few months trying to get another hit. I haven't bought another pack there since then :benson:

Nicccceeee.

I know I probably can't recreate the magic but I'm gonna go back and pick up some more and see what I get.

Other stuff wasn't so amazing but a lot of 2012-14 inserts.. Mostly minis and heritage, did get a Ripken insert though. Not great, but actually made it worth it which is a change of pace for these usually.

I always grab a few packs when I go which is pretty often, before the only thing to get excited about was the occasional Chrome I didn't have, a few cards from oddball sets, and in one batch there was a lot of Upper Deck Special F/X. I don't remember what year it was but I think it was 2007. Got a couple Press Pass racing GU's and some Power Player cards too.

Gonna have to check my local dollar and see what they have now. Congrats to those who've had such great luck in an unexpected place. ;-)

I went and picked up a few of these today, and got something I have never seen or heard of before. They're from 2006 Topps, some kind of Wal-Mart exclusive ROY Exchange contest. According to the card back, there was one entry in each WM factory set, and the card of the AL and NL ROY could be sent in for an autographed version. I didn't get anyone great (Martin Prado, Shawn Marcum, Matt Smith and Ben Johnson), but it is neat to discover something unknown (at least to me) in some Dollar Tree card packs.

Wow, I always thought those DT packs were put together and sold by Dealers so they could get rid of their base cards. I had no idea they had ANY-thing of Value in them.

Great finds all!

Here is Justin Verlander that I redeemed from that set.

Picked up the rest they had today, probably about 25 or so but luck didn't quite repeat itself. About 20% base I have, 60% base I don't, and 20% inserts and parallels. Only thing of note I got was a Bowman Chrome Green Refractor of Giancarlo Stanton, I forgot which year.

Even with that, I think it's impressive for a DT repack.

 

[brian26]

Are these packs actually $1 or more than that?

 

[byronscott4ever]

Nothing at DT exceeds a a buck

I'm not sure that's true though.

I'm not sure that's true though.

I'm fairly certain that everything is $1 at Dollar Tree

I remember those. I'm pretty sure my Set had a Cubs pitcher. I don't remember who though.

I'm not sure that's true though.

Unless its a case of water etc or some who carry milk etc everything else at DT or .99 only stays inline pricing. Family Dollar is a store that isn't a $1 only

I'm going to check mine out tomorrow. I haven't been there in a while.

Last time I was there, they had these re-packs. I guess if you bought 5 of them, sent the wrappers in, and paid S&H, they'd send you an autographed card in return. I was going to try it out.

 

[byronscott4ever]

DT has some items like candy below a buck too

I know the ones you are talking about, I have tons of those wrappers because I wanted to try it out too, just never got around to it. I find some cool (base) cards in there sometimes, some interesting sets here and there. But atleast they have like 30 cards.
