My Target was stocked with all the newer releases so I decided on a blaster of GQ.
Word is on the interwebs that the GQ blasters are stocked this year. I don't know if this is true or if I was extremely lucky, but I pulled a few rare cards.
This is my first 1/1 out of a retail box.
The Fulmer auto and the 1/1 were pulled out of back to back packs. This is a nice looking on card auto. I also pulled a couple of parallels from the box but they are confusing as shit. I think I went blind trying to look at the odds on the wrappers.
Here are the other inserts...
Overall it was probably the best blaster I have ever opened. I'll probably quit while I'm ahead on GQ this year and save my luck for something more my speed.
Thanks for reading!
Awesome job! Great Tigers cards you lucky Pirate guy!
ReplyDeleteI guess I was due for something good to come from one of these. I bought a lot of blasters in 2013 and 2014 and pretty much gave them up after a long dry spell.
DeleteWow, nice pulls! I'm amazed those came out of retail packs. (Note to self: buy more packs at Target)
ReplyDeleteI've been putting together a trade stack for you. Nothing autographed or 1/1, but I think you'll be happy with it.
Nice!!!!
DeleteDamn, dude, you should have your daughter help you pick out everything you open!
ReplyDeleteIt was just blind luck and a little pre meditation to make sure toy shopping was at Target!
DeleteWow! Very nice pulls from a blaster!
ReplyDeleteI was happy to get two known names.
Deleteoh God, you are killing me!!! unreal! congrats! if you decide to sell JD or Fulmer, please reach out.
ReplyDeleteWill do!
DeleteI really like the hand drawn art cards. They are slick looking. Congrats on the nice pulls!
ReplyDeleteI liked them too. Need to check and see if any Pirates are in the set.
DeleteCongrats! I too have heard that the blasters are loaded. Think I may need to try one out for myself.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I love daddy/daughter days or weekends!
Yeah, we had fun this weekend. I think we both need long naps though....
DeleteI bought a blaster based on the same rumors. Mine did not live up to the hype. Congrats on having the magic touch!
ReplyDeleteBought into the same hype as well and my blaster did have anything special. Oh well, they all can't be winners
Deletedaaaaaaaaaaaaannggggggg.....
ReplyDeleteIt packed a full hobby box punch for sure.
DeleteI opened a couple of the three pack hanger packs today. I really like the design. Not a baseball guy but it does kinda make me want to work on the base set.
DeleteThe base set minus the sp's wouldn't be too bad.
DeleteOh dang... that was epic! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteIt was exciting to pull the 1/1.
DeleteHoly Smokes! JD is doing an autograph event by me if you want the info let me know. The place accepts mail orders and handles things very carefully with integrity in mind.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know. I'll probably be sending these to one of my Tiger friends. I figure they will probably want the Martinez in its original form. I will pass the word about the signing though. That sounds awesome.
DeleteThat is truly a remarkable blaster!
ReplyDeleteGlad I chose that one. Normally I would have gone Donruss so I'm happy I made the choice I did.
DeleteWow! Talk about some sweet luck! Congrats! May want to think about buying a lotto ticket after that blaster.
ReplyDeleteHa....no lotto ticket. This was just the law of averages after a lot of bad boxes.
DeleteInsane pulls from a blaster. Excellent job Sir
ReplyDeleteThanks man, it was exciting to pull those
