It's Not Always About The Hits

Since card prices have reached ridiculous amounts (when you can find them), my main outlet has been buying boxes of commons from my LCS. I've featured these before on the blog...you can get a monster box of 1500 cards for $9.99. You can end up with a lot of cool stuff or you can end up with a lot of 1990 Fleer. This box was all baseball.

Here's the breakdown:


2020 Topps Series 2 - 231 cards.

A welcome sight as I wasn't able to get very much last year. I have put up a want list of what I still need.


2020 Topps Update - 68 cards. 

This I could find plenty of...and the set is finished.


2009 Upper Deck First Edition - 114 cards.

A set that I don't have very many of...and a nice card of Junior in his White Sox uniform.


2020 Panini Diamond Kings - 42 cards.

Some base, SPs...


...and some very colorful inserts.


2020 Topps Finest - 19 cards.


2018 Topps Update - 153 cards.


2020 Topps Heritage - 66 cards.

Included was this cool Don Sutton insert.


2014 Bowman Draft Picks - 59 cards.


2020 Topps Allen & Ginter - 71 cards.


Some inserts included as well.


2020 Topps Archives - 194 cards.


2020 Topps Utz - 1 card.

A nice surprise...wish there was more.


1994 Collector's Choice - 163 cards.


2011 Bowman Chrome Prospects - 19 cards.


2007 Bowman Chrome - 8 cards


2014 Bowman Chrome Top Prospects - 7 cards


2014 Bowman Chrome Draft Picks - 10 cards.


2014 Bowman Top Prospects - 6 Cards


2008 Bowman Chrome Prospects - 32 cards.


2007 Upper Deck - 60 cards.
                       

2010 Topps T206 - 187 cards.



Of course it doesn't come out to exactly 1500 cards ( there were a few more than that and as you can see it's really not all commons), and I've always enjoyed going through these. I always find cards that I need plus I also get cards that I can trade.

Thanks for reading!

  1. That sounds like a fun idea and a better value than any blaster you can actually get your hands on!

  2. Yeah, that seems like a great deal to me. I'd do that if I could find anything similar around here. The only card shop I have would have all of those in quarter boxes, no discounts.

  4. That's like a mega repack! For $9.99 it was easily a good deal!

  6. Hmm, that's not bad at all...as long as you don't wind up with the 1990 Fleer!
