BOX WARS: Target Repack Box $7.99 vs. Walmart Repack Box $14.99 Break

A quick trip to Target yielded some cards for me today. First, Topps opening day were .75 a pack so I grabbed one of those. Here are the first four cards I pulled out:

Opening day or not, that is a loaded pack. Well worth the 75 cents. The standard Topps packs were on sale as well and I bought one that didn't have anything good in it.

Much like my Walmart box a few posts ago, I picked up a repack box that boasted 4 packs, 50 loose cards and a bonus.
Here are the four (really 3, nobody wants that Babe Ruth junk) unopened packs:

I haven't even opened the Ruth and probably will give it to my nephew to open.

Here is the bonus:

White framed Hosmer was the "Bonus"

This is funny because there were an unnatural number of Tigers cards in the loose 50 so they must pack them based on location. If that is the case they failed giving a Tigers region box a Royal bonus. Anyway, here are some of the highlights from the 4 packs and 50 loose cards:

I know nothing about this card. If anyone out there needs it let me know.

Pulled from a pack in the box. I don't know if this guy will ever live up to his hype from years ago.

Good card.

One of my all time fav's.

Another all time favorite player card I didn't have before.

Maybe every repack box holds a Fernandez.

For the money I think I made out better on the cheaper Target box. I have much more to post from my card world but don't have the energy tonight. Sunday I am hitting a card show. Any requests out there?

Flash Back RePack Box Break - Walmart $14.95 box

The draw to opening packs is the mystery they hold. Opening repack boxes doubles that anxious curiosity. I bought a repack box from Walmart for $15 that boasted one hobby pack guaranteed and a single card bonus in 1:4 boxes. Here are the contents:

Excuse the post-ride dog hair.

The stars and stripes was the hobby pack. I could take or leave the other packs. The draft pics don't hold signatures on the cards and they were retail packs of 4 cards. The 2014 Topps were okay, the Babe Ruth packs were junk and the Triple Play that I received an unnecessary 4 packs of are fun but hold no value inside. I should have known I would receive nothing great when the box contained a one-touch card protector. I am assuming that is in lieu of an actual hit card in any pack. Here are the cards I found interesting:

A good pull on a great player but it would never hold ink for a TTM so its trade bait.

Pretty cool Big Mac

The Speedster rookie card in retail blue variation. I love that this card reflects who he is as a player.

More trade bait. Another great player.

The down side of buying old packs. Obviously an unforeseen future.

At least got a Miggy card. The only Tigers card I pulled from the box.

Schwarbs is the man. I don't care if he bats .035 he'd be on my team in any playoff scenario.

Older Yoenis card. This guy has all the tools to be one of the all time greats but something deep down inside him holds him back. I thought the mlb logo on the jersey was a strange placing.
