A Great Blaster, and a Terrible Blaster

[Mister_Ed]

I opened 2 blaster boxes today- Epix and Topps Chrome

Epix was a HUGE disappointment- the entire blaster yielded

Maurice Jones Drew Highlight Zone insert
LOTS of base

The TC however, was awesome. I pulled the following

Tim Tebow
Dez Bryant
Jimmy Clausen
Carlton Mitchell
Montario Hardesty
Derrick Morgan
Taylor Mays
Jerome Murphy
Anthony Dixon
Nate Allen
Damian Williams
Rodger Saffold
Ben Tate

Jermaine Cunningham
Kevin Thomas
Jermaine Gresham

Damian Williams Bowman Chrome RC
Tony Dorsett Rookie Reprint
Namath/Sanchez Gridiron Lineage

Greg Jennings XFractor
Cadillac Williams Refractor
Jason Witten Refractor

wow...that TC was truly a breaker's dream! Congrats!

Hmmm very interesting. You get just about as many rookies and refractors out of a hobby box as you do a blaster box. Looks like the only difference is the amount of inserts and hits that are added to the box.

Congrats on the TC break!

yeah, the TC blasters are loaded. I was hoping for more with the Epix- Panini has been real good with their hobby products- but I wont be touching their retail stuff again- 20 bucks flushed down the toilet on that buy

To be completely honest, when I read your thread title and then saw the two boxes you purchased, my immediate thought process was you probably got hosed on the TC, as I thought Epix would probably have been pretty decent.

[Mister_Ed]

unfortunately not- the Epix hobby stuff i opened was also unimpressive. Ill be sticking to other products, and write this one off...

I've busted 5 Blaster's within the last few months and 4 had hits, including 2 Topps Chrome with RC Auto Refractor's /50. The one that didn't have any hits, EPIX, go figure, lol =)

Even the Hobby Epix boxes have been really bad this year. I like the holographic design on the autos and parallels, but that is about it.

I would be interested in the Dez Bryant RC and Sean Lee Xfractor and maybe the Tebow RC.

LMK Thanks,

Generally speaking, panini blasters are usually very bare( with the exception of 2010 Elite, which was loaded).

And Topps Chrome has great blasters every single year, they're always loaded.
