Wow, you bought a chrome hanger, and Fire cards were in there?? Are you sure it wasn't tampered with?

I'm not sure I like the Fire stuff.....too busy for me. Nice hit on the Bridgewater tho!

Good luck Toshi, and good for you on your attitude towards the situation....we need more cool heads in the world.

Great pull on the Bridgewater Toshi!

I busted a Blaster Box of Fire from Target...the last one on the shelf. NO guaranteed hits...only a bonus back making it 8 packs for 19.99 vs $24 if purchased at 2.99 individually.

Have also picked up a hanger box which had a pretty cool array of cards. a bunch of the 1 per regular pack parallel metallic/holo - no relics yet though I did get the Logan Thomas base card (which will be added to my Hokie pile) - despite the fact I collect specific players I still get a kick out of bustin' packs...even though it is somewhat cheaper to find individual cards elsewhere...

I did pick up one fat pack of 2015 Topps Baseball Just for Kicks and actually pulled the one card I would be looking for - the Jesse Hahn - (yep another Hokie!) SO while I didn't hit anything of major value either $ or trade - I DID hit 2 Hokies!!

I think he was just referring to his previous "Topps" purchase.

Hey Toshi,

So you found the hanger boxes I was talking about. Pretty good deal for $9.99, huh? The $19.99 blasters are out there, but why buy them when you can get 2 of the hanger boxes for the same price and have more than 2x the cards and 2 shots at a hit. Nice hit with the Teddy. I got a D'Anthony Thomas Green Relic in my first box, none in the next 4, but still good value. Those 2 inserts are "Out of this World Rookie" and "Forged by Fire Die Cut".

Yes, as I mentioned it is an acquired taste to say the least. Busy is an understatement, LOL!!

It is very different in graphics, it pulls away from the traditional full bleed concept of cards. Love it or hate it, Topps did try to take it at another artistic level.

Thank you for your kind words, there's so much more going on in the world to be even mildly upset about in the world that a set of football cards would take my attention away from real world issues and concerns.

Thank you for the read and reply.

Toshi

You've definately got your monies worth! As I always say; "A deals a deal". I'm glad you at the very least acquired more Hokie cards. For every collector there's always a special card in every break, you just never know.

Thank you for the read and replying.

Thank you RBRedskins for clarifying the explanation.

Yes, as soon as you mentioned "Fire" and "Hanger Box" I immediately requested to Mrs. Toshi that I wanted to go to Target specifically for the Fire Hanger Box. Even Brett (My daughters boyfriend as well as my collecting partner) came along to purchase a hanger box for himself.

Thanks for the read and reply as well as the clarification.
