First Buzz: 2024 Bowman baseball cards

[DylanPowers92]

I recently opened 3 blasters from an LCS and pulled 2 chrome autos, 2 #'ed paper (one was Yamamoto sky blue), and 3 lunar glows. these seem to be the way to go honestly.

So far, my blaster luck at Walmart and Target has been abysmal. 8 blasters, no autos, no chrome numbered. I don't know if it's me of if the retail blasters directed to the major retailers have been gimped, but I'm done. This if the first year that I've done so badly.

I am in the same boat, 6 retail blasters with no autos and just 2 numbered paper and 1 numbered insert. Best card is probably a Dylan Crews base chrome.

All the blaster pumping got me to buy two from Target. I do love ripping, even if it no longer loves me.

I got a base auto of Glod and two lunar parallels. No big name chrome 1sts.

I can't complain but I'm not buying more.

The highlights of 12 blasters from Fanatics.
3 autos and a good amount of numbered cards.

Grabbed 4 blasters and did fine, 3 numbered and a paper auto. Also had this blank in the spot where an insert would have been. Never stumbled onto something like this before.

Any auto is a win from a blaster.

I feel better and worse knowing that it really does come down to luck. If there's an auto in 1 in 7 or 8 blasters, then it's quite possible to miss with 8 while someone gets 1 auto out of 2 boxes.

But, at some point, it becomes clear to me that I should have just bought a hobby box. Does anyone else buy blasters just to space out the fun, even though it means a chance you'll miss on at least one hit?

I stopped buying hobby boxes a couple years ago because of pricing.

All things being equal, I still prefer hobby to retail. Better quality hits come out of hobby still.

Sick invisifractor!

Wish it was a better player, though.

I'm stupid enough not to be able to find it but what's the Green Chrome out of retail that's not numbered called? Thanks.

There's 'Lunar Glow', but those aren't retail exclusive. That's the green moon pattern that is unnumbered.

Oof, Steel City has blasters up to almost 38 bucks.

Canadian prices.

[eastbayak]

Retail boxes for $109 + tax +/- shipping.

Worth it?

I’m still getting killed on blasters, just can’t help picking 1 up on target runs
