2012 topps blaster questions...and blasters in gen.

[cdahlk2001]

last year i saw the odds on the packs from a gravity feeder and one from a blaster. the diff in the 2....blasters you cant get autos..... now my question is why would you want the blaster??? for the comm patch that you get w/ it? i get loose packs for a chance to get a auto. GU to me are junk and so common. YES I KNOW blasters havent been searched. but to find a auto in a pack is tough. searchers can have the 3.00 GU. i dont know the diff in odds from the loose and the blaster as i dont buy topps blasters no more. anyone have a pack from a blaster please share the odds. thanks!

Between the long odds of pulling an auto and the quality of players that Topps is getting to sign it doesn't make much difference to me.

I prefer blasters for 3 reasons
1. Not searched
2. Cards seem to be in better condition when they come out of the packs, because 8 year olds have not been tossing them around.
3. I generally just get a few blasters here and there for TTM purposes, less insert cards tends to be BETTER for me. I can't send out most insert cards because they are of popular players who don't sign. I long for the Topps Total sets.

If I really want a ****** auto that bad I'll spend $4 on eBay and get one delivered to my door.

Realize the odds are harder....but the lure of the blasters is to much for me! Pulled a Harper redemption card from the bowman platinum blaster! Best regards, David

..I was hoping that Topps would kill their TMA program but have not seen that happen yet,..
The blasters are fun when they get marked down to 12.00,..I've been buying up 2010 Bowman Chrome and 2011 A&G for 14.00,..good bang for the buck but big hits are rare and very far between,.
I'm hoping that they will help the younger collectors,that would be cool for those young set builders to least have a outlet,..

Never bought a "regular" Topps blaster,but
I've had some nice pulls from Heritage.
2008 was the best,pulled a
redemption card for an Al Kaline auto and
another box gave up the Santanna variation.
