Walmart Hobby Blister "Hits"

[drubacca117]

I've noticed that Walmart and Target, as well as other retail stores, have been getting blister packs of "hobby packs" in their card sections recently. With these being hobby packs, the chance for hits is greater, in theory, which also gets a premium price at the checkout (most of the blister packs are $15.98 at my store, for 2-4 packs). I've heard mixed reviews on these packs, but I wanted to give them a fair shake. Here's what I pulled...

2014 Topps Prime Carlos Hyde Copper Auto Redemption / Tom Savage Quad Relic Auto (Unnumbered)


2014 Topps Finest Rookies - Beckham and McCarron Refractors? Have "Rainbow" Shimmer


2014 Topps Finest Atomic Rookie Die Cut


Upper Deck Conference Greats Jeff Wickersham Auto


2014 SPx Johnny Manziel "Finite Rookie" - 039/799


2013 Fleer Retro Dion Jordan Auto (On card, Unnumbered) / Markus Wheaton Flair Showcase 011/150

Hmm... Sorry about the pic sizing... they are not doing what I want them to do... Odd...

Anyway... Overall I'd say not bad, but I wouldn't purchase any of these "hobby blisters" again. With the Topps Prime packs, the only cards worth even keeping were the redemption and the hit. The rest of the cards were practically destroyed in the pack (completely chipped or dinged corners).

I did pretty well with the UD blisters. Topps not so much. the hyde will end up being a pretty nice hit though!
