Topps Chrome blasters....still worth the money?

[blanning71]

Stopped by my local Target tonight and they had a TON of these blasters left from 2012. I have seen many people talking about how their local places were sold out. Just wondering if the blasters are worth the buy or not? I know that 2012 is loaded but retail has always eluded me. So what do you guys think?

It's getting tougher now that it's cooling off. A couple months ago any RGIII or Luck would get you back at least 1/2 the $20. Still a pretty fun rip but it's not an auto buy for me any more.

Parallels still sell very well, some of the other players are bringing a little more now like Russell Wilson

A Russell Wilson camo up will cover your box. If I could find some I'd tip some..

i dont think we'll ever see these available for less then $20 a pop on the secondary market. i really believe that 2012 wax is going to "be good" for some time. Hell, Score is still well above $20 a box.

I went to a show on Saturday and some dealers were selling the Blaster Boxes for $30 each and they were selling...Loaded RC and the parallels still sell well. I just wish Target in my area still had some.

My Target has 5 left. I bought two last night and pulled an on-card Matt Kalil auto, a mini Russell Wilson, a blue Blackmon refractor, a pink Hillman refractor, '57 Luck Insert, alot of rookies (Blackmon, Weedon, Richardson, Fleener refractor). I was thinking about buying the rest and holding them to open until next football season because 2013 is going to SUCK for football unless you like defensive players and O-linemen!

Made the trek into Wisconsin on MLK day, and grabbed the final four racks at Shopko. Pulled an Andrew Luck Orange and Russell Wilson Purple. I almost wish I had pulled garbage, so I would not want to pick up any more...

If I could find a Target or WalMart around here with those blasters, I'd buy every single one of them, same with the rack packs.

Next year might in fact be horrible!!

You did good on those!!

Nice pull Slette!

I've always thought the searchers had figured out to search the Orange "extra" packs 'cuz neither I, or anybody around here I've talked to about it, have ever pulled any good ones.

 

[wickedliquids]

If you're in the East Bay in NorCal, the Target @ Fallon Shopping Center had about a cases worth of them; picked one up as I had not bought one in MONTHS; pulled a Luck Xfractor that paid for the box for the most part.

 

[gt2590]

The closest Target had 4 left, grabbed one. No big colors or auto, but still happy enough overall.

Broyles Black ref. /299
Richardson, S. Gilmore, Suh X-fractor
T. Wilson, Palmer Refractor
Luck '57 reprint
Weeden Tall, Jeffrey '84

Does that help you decide either way? :lol:

Since chrome is in drought mode.. I've moved to the 14.99 value boxes.. Well I've opened two of them. I like the luck griffin refractors they are purdy!
