Friday night my son and I made a Walmart run to pick up a few things I needed for some Saturday projects. I let him talk me into going down the card aisle and picking out a blaster. I was hoping to find Topps Archives, but no luck. Instead we settled on a box of Topps Gallery. There were plenty of Topps Chrome blasters on the shelf, but the $10 difference in price made Gallery the easy choice. With 7 packs of 4 cards each, the $24.99 price almost made the cards $1 each.
We each pulled 1 Cardinal. It is nice to see Pujols back in a Cardinals uniform on cardboard.
There was a nice mix of current and retired players. From what I can tell, the current players have a blue corner while the retired greats have a brown one.
I forget the odds on the rainbow foil inserts. It was either 1 in 2 or 3 packs. Either way we hit it about right.
Each box contains 4 printer proof parallels. Got some better names here compared to the rainbow foils.
We received 2 different inserts. I believe these are roughly 1 per box. Both of these will be easily traded for Cardinals.
Overall not a bad break. Did I get my $25 worth of cards? No, but I expect that when opening packs. It is more about the fun and thrill of opening packs with my son.
