I will be posting the highlights of the Retail break in pictures. I am anxious to see what I can pull from retail for $60 in comparison to what I pulled from Hobby ($74).
As far as odds per pack go, retail is a tougher adventure as far as pulling higher end product, but one will tend to end up with more base for their money, and will tend to have more to rip---in exchange for smaller odds. While Hobby costs more, it doesn't always guarantee success in comparison to retail. I discovered this last year when I bought a case of Gypsy Blasters. For around $400 dollars I had this case in my hands. $400 of Hobby would have gotten me roughly 2.5 boxes worth (10 hits....jersey heavy!). After busting through the blasters, I had a stack of Minis, 2 Relics (of that, one Jackie Robinson Bat), 5 autos (Chapman, Ortiz, Soto, and a Gypsy Auto were the highlights), and had completed 95% of a master set. Not bad, considering the stuff I was seeing pulled from the Hobby Boxes. I proceeded picked up some hanger packs at Target and pulled a Gypsy Queen Jewel Relic---I was literally destroying the odds. I later discovered on http://www.cardboardconnection.com, that roughly, only 2500 Hobby cases were produced, which leads me to believe that Retail was absolutely loaded!!??
Now I'm off to see what I can pull from these Retail Bowman packs----mojo or not---It will make a fun talking point in comparing the two!!!
Check out the Blog tomorrow night for the update, along with a little love for a recent BlogTv room I visited. I earned a nice little mail day for $24. More on that tomorrow, where I will have info pertaining to my mailday video on Youtube later this week + more NPN to share!!!
