Blowout MegaMix includes plenty of cardboard ... and maybe more!

[brianshaft]

Just opened mine, actually just got home from a double mastectomy for my wife. Got 2 “bonus” boxes- 1952 topps by naturel baseball and a 2020 optic football blaster�� also there was a hobby bowman’s best U football 2022 hobby mini box. Not bad at all. 16 boxes total, 3 basketball, 4 football, 1 ufc, 8 baseball. I preordered knowing my wife’s surgery date so I could open a few each day over the weekend, so we’ll see how it goes.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the product and hope your wife is doing well.

Things went well. Medicine is amazing sometimes. Less than 24 hours from wrapping up surgery to discharge, 10 days to biopsy results to make sure they got it all, but pretty sure they did. 4 months of recovery then implants. So far so good.

Did they have five specific boxes for you, or did they just pull five random boxes? I ask because in 2018 they had specific boxes tied to your order.

they had a pallet covered in the blowout booth and grabbed 5. I assume that's fir everyone who ordered fir pickup?

Just opened mine. Hit a bonus--2023 Bowman 1st Edition. Not the most 'sexy' hobby box...but as a Bowman prospector, I'll take it.

Blasters fairly standard but only one unlicensed Panini baseball and it was a 2017 Chronicles. Pretty happy overall. Wish I bought a few more.

thats how it was in 2021...I picked my preordered box up on a saturday after they were all sold out. they had a large pile and asked me to point at which one I wanted and thats what they gave me

My two boxes both had 20 blasters, but didn't get a bonus in either. Didn't get any killer cards in them but did enjoy ripping blasters for a couple hours. I'm too lazy to list any cards that won't sell for at least $5 but I have a small stack to add, probably a $50ish card is the most valuable. At $10 a blaster it was a fine deal, there were several blasters in there that sell for $20+ (and of course the Wild Cards boxes which are worthless but I didn't get a single WNBA blaster). Not a bad rip for $200 each, no complaints. I did pull a SSP autograph but of course it was of a player that never made it in the NBA and now plays in Europe, just regular card ripping bad luck.





I should say, I don't think any of the blaster boxes were special or bonuses, I don't know basketball and baseball as well as I know football/wrestling/MMA but none seemed outside of what I was expecting (a few higher value blasters, a bunch of mid-range, and a couple duds).

[brianshaft]

Got an encased Ohtani art refractor/75 out of my topps naturel and a Jordan Love silver optic RC out of the optic, can’t complain. Didn’t open the ufc and saving the basketball for my nephew. Got a few nice cards/hits of lower value as well, but the good stuff came from the bonus boxes for sure.

[jlzinck]

Have 5 boxes coming in 2 packages.
Package 1 is 28 pounds and package 2 is 8 pounds.

Ahhh, true!

[obzezzed]

Did anyone get the "actual" weight instead of what Blowout entered? Not that it really matters, cause the big hits are redemptions. I was able to weigh both my boxes were entered in as 15 lbs. Haven't opened yet.

Actual weight

#1 6.12 lbs
#2 6.13 lbs.

[notoriousrmb]

After ripping my 20 blasters, looks like I got around $45 back plus mountains of base. Can't win em all, this one was bad though. But I have hit a case redemption in the past so I know the risk going in.

[whitmm]

Not sure if it's been posted, but have there been many boxes that weren't 20 blasters without "bonus?" Looking at them, the box perfectly holds 20 blasters, so unless it's a redemption piece of paper, they aren't going to have a bonus. But have there been boxes that only have, say, 10-15 blasters and no bonus?

Seems like boxes with the lower weight would have a better chance at the bonus hit.

Watched 100 box break, none of the ones that had less than 20 didn't have a bonus or a redemption(pretty sure).

No, you can look at the houdini 100 box rip and see it - if it's less than 20 blasters, then there's something in the box that isn't a blaster. And the Chrome U/Best U mini boxes are blasters for this purpose.

Yup, I saw Houdini's break. And I assumed that was the case. I know there were some comments here worried about BO having junk boxes might only have 10-11 blasters and nothing else.

[Joshi City]

I mean it sold out so it didn't matter but if they had listed it upfront as "20 blasters, or 10 to 19 blasters with a bonus" it would have sold out even quicker. I was definitely concerned some boxes would only have 12 to 15 blasters with no bonus which would hurt the overall value which is the reason I only got two.

[sulvan13]

Just got mine delivered. Ordered 6 boxes, hoping that the “bonus in every 3 boxes on average” would hold true…but I got skunked. 0 for 6. Figured at least 1, so that’s incredibly disappointing but it is what it is I guess.

For anyone wondering, this proves they don’t hand pack these to make sure the bonuses are actually landing every 3 boxes so just be aware.

Sorry to hear that. Went back to the post of the guy who hit the redemption for the NT, he only bought 2 loose boxes. Houdini's 100 boxer fell fairly close to 1:3. Hopefully you pull some fire out of your packs!
