I went to three Targets and two Walmarts before I finally found two lonely blasters at the third Walmart. Did not disappoint. One Chrome 1st on card auto and one Juan Soto purple #/199 plus a Jenkins paper.
Too many of the opinions are based on results not potential. Had you had that awesome run of numbered cards but they were the wrong names you'd be far less jacked about how good the product is.
I've opened 6 blasters(I've bought them 2 at a time over the last month). I've hit 3 chrome autos(2 Luke Adams and a George Lombard Jr), a chrome lunar yellow 1st Bowman Joendry Vargas #d to 75, a green paper Wyatt Langford #'d to 399, a fuschia paper 1st Carson Whisenhunt #'d to 250, a retail green chrome 1st Walker Jenkins, a ton of top prospects, and 2 vet colored paper cards. Blasters have been kind to me, to say the least.
Congrats on the Brock and Cam pulls. Glad to see you come out ahead after a few rough ones lately lol. Bought two blasters yesterday, and was wishing I got more. Scored two #'s, one to 99, and an auto to 99, so that was cool
As a Brewer fan and collector, I am already jealous and I have only seen the first blaster you opened!! Damn that was an awesome first box!! Now on to box 2 haha
how do i know which cards are good? i’m pretty new to card collecting and idk what im looking for or where to look for prices or where to look to know what cards im looking for
my 1st blaster I bought had a Diego Benitez Grass parallel and Jasson Dominguez green /99 auto in it! Bought 2 more blasters and some loose packs after and didn’t get so lucky. Really enjoying this so far tho. Kinda want to open a case of it
Love that u did good- does say something about how these card companies have masterfully lowered our expectations while raising prices that we cream ourselves over a 25 percent win- i spent $1500 chasing bedard- got one young gun and was satisfied- i could of just bought 4 of them for same money
Enjoy your rips...I understand your jumbo box frustration...this hobby can take you from the mountaintop to the valley in a big hurry...I have now ripped 45 donruss blasters from Target without a downtown. Have 15 left to go. But from there to the mountain. I just opened 3 Select Basketball Mega boxes this past weekend and in the first pack I hit a pink cracked ice lodestar, and a blue cracked ice Wembenyama (84/99) in the same pack. In 35 years of ripping packs never have I hit any pack like that...
I just opened a few blasters to try it out and in the second one every card was sparkly and 1 auto per pack plus a /50 anime looking card in the last pack. Idk what I just did but I think it’s good lol.
When does the second wave hit? I'm enjoying the first wave very much. Have had 13 blasters with 14 #d and 4 autos, including an auto #d to 75. 6 more on the way this week. I may try to stop after those. But this is such a great product.
Generally, I would call the “first wave” the first week the boxes are live on the shelves at your local Wal-Mart or Target. If I’m buying any product I try my best to always buy it the first week. It’s not scientific or anything but In my experience the first wave hits always seem to be better.
@@jamieowens2499 fair enough, then should be okay with the next couple batches I have coming this week. My local WalMart, I was shocked they got some in, I only ever found one blaster of Topps Series 1 there, and they had lots of theft, so assumed very little card action. I'll just have to avoid the temptation to try for more.
Decide what you're going to chase and watch a lot of videos. I just got back in the game after leaving in '91. I've been back a week and have learned so much. Watch the channels like this doing large openings and watch what they value. Lots of reading, watching and listening. Good luck.
The autos average like last yr. 5.5-6 per blaster. I bought a case last yr hit 5 chrome 1 a green grass and the rest were base. Also hit 8 paper one is a purple and several numbered cards. Chrome. And paper. The majority of them wete greens to 99. Best numbered card was a green to 99.Spotlight of Holiday.😳😊🤗
I got a Bob Gibson. Odds are ridiculous to get that card 1:2,750 boxes. But I sold it for $110. Most auctions are around $100. Just isn’t a huge market for boomers
5 blasters Luis for white Sox 3 auto 6 color Blue yellow purple Tom of lunar Incredible wave! I hope the megas coming are 🎉 Optic football was terrible other than a few cards But it’s qb or bust in silver or purple Horrible I pulled a red white blue wemby outta value pack Lol
I bought 10 blasters from my local Target… not a single numbered card. NOT ONE. I was upset. Then I bought 10 from Walmart. 3 autos, And 5 numbered cards. Nothing too crazy but gave me hope.
I'm brand new to Collecting and bought two boxes from target. I got a altuve numbered card and another one which I can remember. Also a Spencer Jones auto. He's my fav Yankee prospect so I'm happy
personally, i think the ceiling potential in bowman is much higher than contenders basketball, but also, you should really collect what you like and enjoy, and not for profit.
Opened 3 Jumbos, avg of 12.5% hits vs 20+ blasters with avg of 18.5% hits. Retail > Hobby so far. Even Super and Hangars have a higher hit ratio. Only positive to Hobby is the sig card imo, all three were sub par pulls. Retail 🔥
Idk Aidan Miller, but I pulled a prospect power chrome green border to 99 from a target blaster. Didn’t think that was too bad, but then again that’s one box
Getting skunked sucks. That first blaster you can legit get your money back maybe even $10 to $15. Elijah Green according to let's talk wax is potentially on his way to being one of the biggest busts in recent years.
These are loaded. But they should be loaded. Many prospects won’t even make the bigs. Vast vast majority won’t be a star player. If it’s not loaded, then it’s an awful buy.
wax is a waste 97% of the time. this chanel is nice , but it makes me not want to break packs. and all utubers are rough on their cards with their hands.
A months ago at card store. I got a blaster box and open a Drew Jones autograph from 2023 only paid $24 for box and got Justen Crawford in same box
Just got a green shimmer Dylan crews out of 99!!! Last blaster at Walmart
what is better Bowman or Topps

That Walker Jenkins paper you looked over is a few dollars worth keeping!
i got a walker jenkins chrome

Appreciate you my friend. A 1st auto /99 is pretty damn amazing from a blaster no matter who it is congrats!

I ripped two blasters brice matthews purple auto to 250 a druw jones numbered to 99 and paul skenes green lunar parallel
Bought my first box of cards and pulled a capri ortiz auto, and a couple of numbered cards.
2 retail blasters from Walmart and pulled 3 numbered cards, and 2 green lunars
You get a green lunar per box. But I’ve averaged with numbered cards / auto combined about 2 hits per box
I bought 7 blasters from nieghborhood walmart. Pulled 1 paper card auto 6 #'d cards and a gold 23/50 anime Henry Davis. Not too bad.
Bought 3 blasters and got 2 autos . Pulled a paul skenes # 125 . Odds are 1 in 5552 packs
Got the last blaster at Target and got smoked no numbered only color was lunar
Love that u did good- does say something about how these card companies have masterfully lowered our expectations while raising prices that we cream ourselves over a 25 percent win- i spent $1500 chasing bedard- got one young gun and was satisfied- i could of just bought 4 of them for same money
Meijer stores charging 39.99 a blaster... I just walked away... Insane!!!
They're smokin' that hydro!

I bought 3 blasters & hit a Dylan crews green shimmer auto / 99 . 😯
Are you selling any of these? Im in love w those rookie orioles cards dooood
I just opened a few blasters to try it out and in the second one every card was sparkly and 1 auto per pack plus a /50 anime looking card in the last pack. Idk what I just did but I think it’s good lol.
anime card is a case hit
Wow what a great Box
First wave blasters are juicy…I have 13 and pulled 10 #’d cards along with 2 autos….almost a hit per box. Hobby is laughably bad for the price point.
Facts, same last year the 2nd wave was 🗑️ compared to the early boxes
Agreed.. last year 1st wave were great, hits were harder with subsequent waves
When does the second wave hit? I'm enjoying the first wave very much. Have had 13 blasters with 14 #d and 4 autos, including an auto #d to 75. 6 more on the way this week. I may try to stop after those. But this is such a great product.

People are saying first wave blasters are better it’s been 8 days since blasters came out do I still have a chance at getting a hit
They didn’t hit the shelves of Wal-mart and Target till the 8th. So for the large majority of people they didn’t get any till 4-5 days ago.
Decide what you're going to chase and watch a lot of videos. I just got back in the game after leaving in '91. I've been back a week and have learned so much. Watch the channels like this doing large openings and watch what they value. Lots of reading, watching and listening. Good luck.
Dude those were some solid boxes
should i buy panini contenders basketball 2024 instead of bowman i need opinions?
Bowman
The autos average like last yr. 5.5-6 per blaster. I bought a case last yr hit 5 chrome 1 a green grass and the rest were base. Also hit 8 paper one is a purple and several numbered cards. Chrome. And paper. The majority of them wete greens to 99. Best numbered card was a green to 99.Spotlight of Holiday.😳😊🤗
Definitely I had a fuck ton of numbered cards too. Got a 1/150 Aaron judge card
That’s a future 100k-1m card
I pulled a Dylan crews 5/100 what’s that worth??
Matt Shaw for the Cubs can rake.
should i buy 8 blasters or a hobby box?
Blasters... no doubt.
Blaster boxes are the way to go
Ripped 3 blasters, only one numbered card of homer bush jr. so far. Tuff to swallow at 35$ blaster.
Got 3. Pulled 6 numbered and 1 /99 on card RC auto plus 2 Holliday inserts. All for $100 lol
1st blaster was a brewers hot box
I got a Bob Gibson. Odds are ridiculous to get that card 1:2,750 boxes. But I sold it for $110. Most auctions are around $100. Just isn’t a huge market for boomers
5 blasters
Luis for white Sox
3 auto
6 color
Blue yellow purple
Tom of lunar
Incredible wave!
I hope the megas coming are 🎉
Optic football was terrible other than a few cards
But it’s qb or bust in silver or purple
Horrible
I pulled a red white blue wemby outta value pack
Lol
I bought 1 blaster and got Nolan Schanuel auto of 99 (still don’t know if it’s worth something:)
Nice
I bought one blaster from walmart and got a elly de la cruz A.I. green /99 and a kyle teel blue /150
i got a elly green 20/99 paper
That is also not including the 13 Lunar glows…blasters by a mile.
facts
I bought 10 blasters from my local Target… not a single numbered card. NOT ONE. I was upset.
Then I bought 10 from Walmart. 3 autos, And 5 numbered cards. Nothing too crazy but gave me hope.
I'm brand new to Collecting and bought two boxes from target. I got a altuve numbered card and another one which I can remember. Also a Spencer Jones auto. He's my fav Yankee prospect so I'm happy
@@MrHahaveryhappy that’s awesome!! No better feeling than pulling your own team!!
My son wants to know if he should buy Bowman or panini contenders basketball 2024?
Bowman for sure, unless he likes basketball a lot more.
@@degenrips he's more a basketball guy
personally, i think the ceiling potential in bowman is much higher than contenders basketball, but also, you should really collect what you like and enjoy, and not for profit.
@@dox42o well if he's going to buy bowman should he do blaster boxes?
Bowman so many hits!!!
The ROY inserts are trolls!
Elijah Green is still a top prospect, in single A, 20 years old
Bought 3 blasters from Target today and got a Rose Gold #'d/10 plus 2 more #'d cards.
Amazing! I've got some blasters coming myself. So glad I stayed away from Jumbo and Hobby
Out of 5 blasters I got 9 #rd cards
No autos
Lowest number card was to 50 an insert RC
not guaranteed a autograph
Very nice. Instant subscribe.
Thank you my friend welcome aboard
WEMB-VP!
Opened 3 Jumbos, avg of 12.5% hits vs 20+ blasters with avg of 18.5% hits. Retail > Hobby so far. Even Super and Hangars have a higher hit ratio. Only positive to Hobby is the sig card imo, all three were sub par pulls. Retail 🔥
Most overhyped prospects don't pan out, they just become just good or serviceable players. The sleeper prospects should be held.
🔥video
My man!
Is bowman blaster better than buying a panini contenders basketball hobby?
I've already bought too many of these 😅
Never enough
Walmart has the real hits
Target has the paper color
For real?
Idk Aidan Miller, but I pulled a prospect power chrome green border to 99 from a target blaster. Didn’t think that was too bad, but then again that’s one box
Getting skunked sucks. That first blaster you can legit get your money back maybe even $10 to $15. Elijah Green according to let's talk wax is potentially on his way to being one of the biggest busts in recent years.
Ouch
is bowman even worth it this year weak rookie class
Aren’t these $30? You had 4 equal $150?
My blasters sucked donkey. 6 boxes, 3 numbered cards (none were 1sts), 6 lunars (none were 1sts), and no autos.
I hit a Paul Skenes 21/50. Looking to sell it, if anyone is interested?
would buying 8 of these get me a autograph?
Probably better than a coin flip odds
@@degenrips what does that mean and did you buy any mega boxes yet?
A lot of those cards are #/100 you skipped over why is that?
I bought three. Doubt I’ll be buying anymore. Absolutely nothing
These are loaded. But they should be loaded. Many prospects won’t even make the bigs. Vast vast majority won’t be a star player. If it’s not loaded, then it’s an awful buy.
Don’t ever order cards from Target online for delivery. Always ruined. They ship horrible with no care
Elijah Green is going very poorly in A ball
autos are what people want, #d cards are boring and overproduced
wax is a waste 97% of the time. this chanel is nice , but it makes me not want to break packs. and all utubers are rough on their cards with their hands.
