Finally, one of my Targets got some in, looks like they got just one blaster case. I bought 8, pulled a bunch of numbered stuff (best were Bregman and Altuve Magenta /25 and a Green Benintendi /199) and a Purple AJ ******* auto /50. The fact that Jim Edmonds in this set might make it one of the best of 2017.

I'd love to see a scan of that *******!

Sorry - got the Renfroe GU from a rack pack and the other autos and GU from boxes. I bought a total of four $70 boxes, two $20 boxes, and about eight rack packs.

I have bought 3 of the $70 boxes, around 10 blasters & a few hanger packs. Got my best card out of a blaster last night.

Some of these cards look great...most look terrible.

Better product name would be "Fire and Dumpster Fire."

I find most of them to be ugly too, with the exception of the insert cards which I find sort of unique. When I first saw one I had assumed it was a custom made card because I missed the tiny Topps logo on the top right.

I haven't seen a Target anywhere near me that got the $70 boxes in. This could be a problem for player collectors, since each type of packaging has exclusive color parallels of the insert sets. The blasters have the Gold Minted, the hanger packs have the Blue Chip, and the fancy boxes have the base inserts. There's potential down the line for some of these to be tricky to find, depending on how much of each type gets broken.

I have only found blasters at Target stores around Minneapolis. I have bought 4 blasters and found the collation to be lacking. Across the four blaster, I found multiple instances where packs had the same three card sequence. So yes, out of 4 blaster boxes (28 packs) I have multiple dupes and some cards in triplicate.
