Why would anyone buy hobby chrome, when retail is this hot?

[schmidtfan20]

I pulled two Sanchez's a few days ago, one an Xfractor and today I pull this:

retail is hot.

I wish I could find the friggin retail! :?

(either it hasn't released at my 3 Wally World's, Target, 2 Toys R Us's or it's not in Houston, Texas yet)!

It should be at your target already, they hit a few days ago. You should be seeing roughly 2 retail boxes
of 24 packs, 5-6 blasters and some jumbo packs. If you see any of those then chances are someone bought
the rest. I don't know about walmart. The retail packs (from unsearched boxes) are the way to go, I have pulled
all of my big cards from retail packs, blasters have been ok but I have seen some condition probs there. The
cards in the retail packs are almost flawless.

Good Luck

Went to Wal-Mart today to get some Topps Chrome and they had nothing. No blasters or packs. Ended up buying a blaster of 08 Bowman that was 50% off.

My walmart had about 15 blaster boxes. I picked up two and did fairly good, no autos though.

Nice break. Chrome is really looking good this year.

I bought more packs today....Harvin RC, Maclin Blue and another Sanchez Xfractor!

I have them at mine right now, but sadly no money either.

Recently retail has been getting better "hits" altogether than in the past.

Be it Topps Mayo, Topps Allen and Ginter, Topps Chrome, etc.

This year will have nothing in it.

The configuration for retail is just great. There are no blue refractors or xfractors in hobby. That means more
rookies to pull in retail.

Might consider buying a blaster this weekend.

I bought two packs last week but my best pull was a refractor of an unknown rookie.

They are not in the Houston area as of yet...What gives??? :evil:

 

[schmidtfan20]

Opened another blaster this morning. I pulled a red refractor chicle Polamula 10/10 and an Aaron Rodgers
variation in the same pack! One is 1:325 and the other is 1:4,100 packs!!! These are loaded.

Are you getting yours at Wal-Mart or Target?

I bought one from Wal-Mart in Round Rock, TX and it wasn't any good.

 

[schmidtfan20]

These were "early" topps chrome blasters and packs at target. Of course you must get to the packs before the
local pack ***** gets them. The cards in the 24 count boxes have been flawless and perfectly centered. The
ones in the blasters have been less great but still some solid pulls. Your target should have them already
or chances are they are gone. The good thing about target is that they try to reload what they just sold
so keep checking back. I have access to 4 targets here, so I usually find them.

Good Luck
