Anyway, Steve at White Sox Cards also managed to get some 2010's at his local Target. But his big box store had blasters...something my hole-in-the-wall store did not. Take a guess what is making a comeback in blaster boxes of 2010 Topps baseball? See picture below, and take a good look at the top left corner:
Yes, the Throwback parallels are back at Target in 2010. And this time, instead of cramming a full box of this stuff in the blaster box, two packs out of ten will have the gray card stock cards with the old Topps logo on them.
Wait...does this mean Wal-Mart is getting black bordered (with black background) Topps cards?

ReplyDeleteGuess I am not buying any blaster of it this year...
ReplyDeleteOnly two "throwback" packs per blaster? No thanks. I guess Topps didn't learn.
ReplyDeleteOh well, I wasn't planning to buy blasters anyway.
ReplyDeleteThe throwbacks were fun when it was possible to collect them without going broke. At two packs per blaster, they're just an annoyance.
I like these cards, I just wish these were issued in a separate wax box with gum....now that's pure throwback like Pepsi and Mountain dew!!! Maybe an odd gum stain every 100 cards.....
ReplyDeleteThis goes right in with my New Year's resolution not to buy any blasters this year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for helping me, Topps!
I liked it better when Topps did the entire blaster worth of throwback cards. I still have nothing of Target or Wal-Mart variations from the 2009 series 2 because they switched the packaging limitations midstream.
ReplyDeleteQuestion for th expert - the Albert Pujols card #327 has outfield listed on the back for position but !B on the front - do we know if they were all printed as such?
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the title post my guess was "sticks of gum".
ReplyDeleteI was feeling pretty good about some of the inserts in the base product this year and now they have to do this again. First impression...... WTF!!
