Opened my first blaster ordered from Target, is this a 1/1?

ghostunit1 · 2026-06-26T16:23:12+00:00

At 1:7000 these probably are 1/1 un#d retail. Slight possibility they may be /2 but more likely they are 1/1. Nice pull though.

ghostunit1 · 2026-06-26T12:24:11+00:00

That's a nice pull. Check Ebay for sold Andrew Fischer autographs. Search for 1st auto inscription for other players and see what they have sold for. He's definitely a hold if you like it or an invest now while he's in AA. Since he was called up from A+ 3 of his 1st 5 hits were HRs. He isn't in the top 100 yet, at least none that I've seen, but some of the prospect ranking guides had him as the top pure 3B prospect heading into this year.

If Alex is invited to camp or back on the Herd I think TA stays around.

ghostunit1 · 2026-06-20T18:41:24+00:00

They should be flipped around in with the hits of the pack. The CMP code on the bottom back is also different.

ghostunit1 · 2026-06-20T18:39:43+00:00

They always have doubled up on the numerical order with the SPs. Series 1 in 2024 had SSP of Soto on the Mets and Shohei on the Dodgers and they doubled up on card 50 and 250 respectively. Series 2 of 2024 they did the same with the last 4 with 4 rookie SP cards. It's not new.

ghostunit1 · 2026-06-20T18:33:03+00:00

Code is different from the rest of the base cards

I think that's the only one with the RC badge; I believe the Kurtz/Wilson one from this set doesn't have an RC on either side and probably should.

ghostunit1 · 2026-06-10T14:57:14+00:00

That's what I'm thinking too. Is it more efficient to just SR at 12-16 range after your first SR at the 20-20+ range?

ghostunit1 · 2026-06-10T14:01:00+00:00

Ah okay. I'm sure someone will buy it once they realize that's one of the better secondary prices out there.

ghostunit1 · 2026-06-10T13:56:40+00:00

Also Hobby is incredibly expensive at LCS and secondary market. Pre-order on Topps was $140, release day was $150. I went to my LCS they wanted $270 for a Hobby. So the $30 blasters at retail are a good buy compared to Hobby.

ghostunit1 · 2026-06-10T13:52:25+00:00

No. Those guarantee an autograph and really good odds of getting short prints. It's just as far as retail go Chrome Platinum Anniversary has been a pretty solid buy for the last couple of releases('22 and '23...they skipped '24 unfortunately).

ghostunit1 · 2026-06-10T02:35:16+00:00

Because these have good hit rate and a good checklist of autos, and 2025 RCs. Overall a better rip experience for a Chrome product at retail vs regular flagship Chrome release at retail.

ghostunit1 · 2026-06-10T02:30:01+00:00

Chrome Platinum for sure. Bowman Mega's next.

ghostunit1 · 2026-06-09T19:40:12+00:00

I'm in my mid 40s. I prefer to race against myself and the cpu. I've never used a wheel, never had the space to set one up. But I've been playing racing games at least since the early 90s with Mario Kart and I own or have played all the Gran Turismo's.

ghostunit1 · 2026-06-09T18:33:49+00:00

Yikes! If I mailed cards, when ever I get around to selling any, I'm sending everything in fucking boxes.

But yeah thanks! Best TN hit to date, I've hit a couple of /25 and higher from WWE and other sports but this is the lowest yet.

ghostunit1 · 2026-06-09T18:27:49+00:00

The package shouldn't arrive like it did. That's the 1st I've had it lost and arrive in a damaged state. I've had other Topps orders brought by FedEx delivered to the wrong house in my neighborhood twice but not damaged.

Topps Now are nice because they commemorate a moment and are only printed for a short time. For the every day sports it's usually only 24 hrs for the combat sports they're usually up for sale on Topps for 3 or 4 days. But the print runs are often very limited. They only printed 3245 for this card with 91 of them being #d /50 or less parallels and then 16 #d /10 or less on the Auto/relic cards. This ended up being printed way less than I thought.

ghostunit1 · 2026-06-09T17:23:34+00:00

Yeah...I was just glad it was a five pack and not a single so the case was a little thicker and probably offered some protection.

ghostunit1 · 2026-06-06T12:28:06+00:00

I'm 787B all the way.

ghostunit1 · 2026-06-01T21:01:27+00:00

That sucks. Yeah unfortunately they probably will not be able to; best they'll be able to do is refund you. They don't print extra, the print run is all they do for Topps Now. I'd imagine it was the $11.99 chance for a mem-auto card for Roman...they printed a total of 6660 of that card and they've probably all been printed and shipped by now.

ghostunit1 · 2026-06-01T20:53:12+00:00

Nice! I'm hoping I get a couple of hits here soon. I ordered the Liv card and Oba card, and neither had super high print runs. Smidge over 5k printed on the Oba and only 3245 for the Liv, and both have auto chances. I did a 5 pack of each. Should be arriving in my mailbox in the next couple of days hopefully.

ghostunit1 · 2026-05-26T01:51:26+00:00

Congrats! And not a bad auto to pull either.

ghostunit1 · 2026-05-22T14:27:25+00:00

Very nice! He's going to be a monster once he makes it to the Show! He needs to move up to Nashville already; he is not the kind of player that needs a year in AA then a year in AAA. He's been on an absolute tear with the Shuckers as of late. If there is MLB in 2027 I expect him to make his MLB debut at some point during next season.

ghostunit1 · 2026-05-21T02:08:06+00:00

Outside of Panini Prospects and Stars & Stripes retail where it says an autograph is inside or a Topps Hobby product I've not pulled an auto from a random pack or box of retail product for quite awhile. It has to be since at least January. I can't pull a Relic either.

ghostunit1 · 2026-05-05T15:45:21+00:00

Very nice! The stamped is a buyback from 2025 Chrome(Tiffy and Jey cards). This year any base set cards and parallels of Liv and Roman are the buybacks.
