20 bucks to hit WM or Target

[Ronterek]

OK so if you had 20 bucks, what would you buy? Would be nice to get something I might be able to flip to get back into the swing of things I am waiting for the Bowman Draft in November/December...just thought I would see what the choices were out there.

I'd put it in paypal and browse ebay or checkoutmycards.com. Busting a blaster for stuff to flip is like playing the lottery to win enough to pay your mortgage. It could happen, but it isn't likely. I bought 2 blasters of Topps Chrome this year. One was a hot box. Technically I'm sure I came out ahead by book value, but realistically, my big hits were the Cespedes and Pujols purple refractors, and they fetch about a buck or so on ebay. if THEY are going for $1, Brandon Beachy and Adam Lind aren't going to get that much most of the time. You're much better off scouring the internet for closeouts, bulk lots, and hidden treasures, or poorly titled/described auctions.

Agree 100%

Buying new unopened product in the hopes of flipping is a futile endeavor

If you are dead set on buying something because you have an itch to bust some packs, you could go for a blaster box of Topps Update. Bowman Chrome is out, but from what I've seen it honestly looks a bit weak this year.
