Who said there was nothing good in retail boxes?

So we've all heard the saying when it comes to buying baseball cards. "If it's not hobby, it's not worth getting." Well I know that retail packs and boxes don't guarantee anything. And even when they do insert something into retail packs it's extremely hard to get. But to those of you who actually read my blog (I know, I can hear the crickets in here) retail stuff is no that bad. Case in point I have pulled an Alex Rodriguez autograph card out of a box. The odds of that card been in there was an astronomical ratio.
Well lately I have been buying up some retail products again. 2011 Bowman Platinum, its not the greatest product but there are chock full of rookies in it. Nothing is guaranteed so when anything nice comes out of it it makes you feel much better.
In about a months time I ended up buying four blaster boxes and four rack packs. Here are some of the hits that came out.


Plus a Alex White autograph, one Bryce Harper rookie and one Bryce Harper Xfractor.

  1. Wow! I rarely, if ever, hit anything in retail. When I do though, it tends to be pretty awesome. I pulled a 2011 Topps Series 1 World Series Champions Game Used Tim Lincecum Jersey #/100 from a retail pack a few months ago. Never, EVER pulled an autograph out of retail though. Maybe I'm buying the wrong products?
