If you are checking out this latest installment, Thank you for being here.  I am currently working on getting this blog rolling with regulars, or those who simply enjoy the hobby.  I have been including the address with each EBAY order I ship out, and have been adding it to each invoice I send.  I will try to offer you enjoyable hobby info as much as possible.  Let me know what you think, as your comments will be greatly appreciated.

 TONIGHTS GOODIES---(2) WALMART RETAIL BLASTER RECAP & RETURN

Here are the pulls that I landed from the 2 blaster boxes on the left.

$40 + Tax (Purchase Price)

Ebay Final Sale Result:
FISK PATCH                              $8.00
                                                      J. ROBINSON # PATCH            $9.50

(4) CODES                                 $8.28
(181) Card Lot Including Gold Parallel, Inserts, Base,
& Blue Bordered (Not Numbered) Parallels.
                                                    $15.50

Ebay, Paypal fees, and Shipping   
Approx                                       -$8.00

            Breaking down the numbers       $41.28 (SOLD PRICE)
                                                               -$08.00 (Fees)     

            Cleared                                        $33.28    

            

Conclusion:    I enjoy the thrill of the hunt, and love busting packs. Period.  So for $40 and change, I get to bust open some packs, and after clearing $33 and throwing some random inserts into the PC.  This bust cost me roughly $8.00.  Not too bad considering this is a retail break.  Although hobby offers better odds, my return will more times than not, not be nearly as much considering most hobby boxes (in lieu of finding a black parallel, or an SP) will cost me $65.00 and most likely receive a $3.00 relic card. 


Hope you enjoyed the breakdown----I am looking at another small break, sometime Friday night if you want to check in.  This time I will most likely do a $40 hobby break, with some mix and matching of single packs.  In the meantime here are a few of my favorite daily visits to check out if you so please.

HERE ARE THE NPN's:

Just a quick note about NPN's-----If you prefer to take the time, and sacrifice the .45 for a stamp and a little wait time, NPN's are a great way to add cards to your collection for free.  From my experience PANINI is the most efficient with customer service, and safely shipping the NPNs.  Topps fills most requests, but not all the time.  Upper Deck tends to be more like a lottery, but if you are selected typically they will send you quality opposed to mostly junk that Topps sends.  Search 'NPN Upper Deck' to register for NPN's via the web.  

Thanks for checking the post out---comments are always welcome.  JSPARTAN98
