So I’ve watched most of your Series 2 odds video and I’ve come to the conclusion…that buying SINGLES is by far the cheapest way to get big rookies in these parallels. Screw tryna pull them. They’re $40 cards, max.

@carado1984 Ай бұрын

If you watch any videos by anyone you'd come to the conclusion that is always the case... ...With literally everything. People rip packs for fun.

@robhanson2653 Ай бұрын

100% agree on both accounts. Do it for the thrill of the chase. Wait till 24 chrome...3% chance to get someone you actually want... But it's new, exciting, fun and just fun again.

@PastPresentBall Ай бұрын

@@robhanson2653chrome is fun but at a 30% price hick it’s tough to buy into. Blasters are coming in at $40 too

Kerkering has a lot of energy, throws heat, and has fun. Hes just a reliever but hes been one of the Phils main 4 relievers they use when a game actually matters: Kerk, Straum, Hoffman, and Alvarado. They brought him up just before the playoffs last year.

@JDWalkerDrummer Ай бұрын

I've only gotten two blasters but have gotten super lucky with both of them. First one had an Independence Day /76, Statue of Liberty, retial blue, gold, and a rainbow foil, second one had a team border match, retail blue, gold, rainbow, and a Hot Dog (which I've dubbed the Glizzyfractor). Still haven't pulled a Yamamoto base rookie in everything I've ripped (Jumbo, 6 hangers, 2 blasters, 4 fat packs)

@Irocnrollz Ай бұрын

To make it fair you should of included another hanger box, they are 12.99 @ Target, also i think the only place they sell Blaster boxes for 30 is Walmart or Meyers if you live up north. So i'd call it a closer call between the hangers and fanatics boxes.

@GetOnMyLevel99 Ай бұрын

Plus if you have the target card you can knock off 5% and get free shipping, so it cuts cost a little more. Even when you get free shipping on Fanatics they hit you with a "handling" charge. Just make sure you filter it and are only buying products sold by Target. There are some third party sellers on target's website, which I avoid.

I used to hate on regular blasters and last week I pulled a Merrill sp and 1/1 Mets team card so I might not give up on them yet 😁

@erikchristensen8415 Ай бұрын

The hatred of Stars of MLB cracks me up because even the chrome parallels get no love. I Usually pick up a few black parallels to 25 every year for much less than what you would think. $29 for a Pete Crown Armstrong black /25, I'll take it!!!

@carado1984 Ай бұрын

They're boring. There's just too many. I hope they drop the non chrome which makes the Chrome way more valuable. Throw in a better variety of inserts in it's place or even more base....IMO

@erikchristensen8415 Ай бұрын

@@carado1984 I full agree with the non chrome, they are pointless. My point was that even a good parallel has less value due to the hatred of base cards. Black Chrome /25 are extremely hard to pull, I've actually never seen one pulled in a break/opening.

@mnplumberman Ай бұрын

The parallels are super tough pulls as well. I bought a Bobby Witt RC paper Red Stars of MLB PSA 9 for $25 last year. I think people just get numb to them after seeing a million of them.

@basher3804 Ай бұрын

They remind me of the old Fleer stickers and Upper Deck holofoil stickers we used to get in the late 80’s-90’s. As kids we used to stick them all over the place because we didn’t see any value to them because you got them out of every pack.

@MoltedWaterfowl Ай бұрын

@michaelv6354 Ай бұрын

If a store has hangers and blasters, absolutely go with the hangers! I just ripped two and got an '89 blue, regular blue, rainbow foil, and yellow of my PC team, a few other colored cards, and two Elly inserts and a Shohei insert. They're cheap and have good odds!

I like to make a few sets every year so I bought eight fanatics blasters. Got an auto, golden mirror, numbered lawlar, and an auto jersey redemption. About 25 cards short of my set. And a million parallels

I regret ever stopping as it brings me so much joy. I need some advice to get back into things. First box in 10 years - want to spend about $70-$100. Any suggestions on the best value I could get for that price range? (Love MLB, NFL, NBA in that order). Thank you in advance.

If those retail boxes are essentially resorting to Holliday parallels only they need to be different. That’s bogus they all have the same design and color scheme. Each one should have its own style. $30 for those boxes is brutal.

See, here's the problem with the Fanatics blasters: It's a retail format you can't find in retail stores. I'm not going to order blasters off a website. Blasters are a... they're a "pick me up" after work when I'm tired and shopping at Walmart and just want to relax with some cards. They're a whim purchase. If I'm ordering online, I'm going to do something better with that money than grab a few blasters, you know?
