We are through the bulk of the year and most of the baseball products have already been released. Since it is the Big Shopping Day of Black Friday I have the following card shopping related question.
For the year of 2010 you can make 1 card purchase from each of these types of packaging:
1) Hobby Box
2) Blaster
3) Hobby Pack
4) Retail Pack
5) Random other packaging (Rack Pack, Cereal Box, etc)
And all 5 purchases have to be from different products - for example if you get a Hobby Box of A&G then your blaster has to be from some other product.
And what would be your reasoning for picking out the different cards and package types.
I doubt many other folks would go this direction, but I think my Hobby Box purchase would be Topps Flagship - I liked the card design and many of the inserts. I suspect Hobby will go to either A&G or Heritage.

I'd have to say:
1)Hobby - A&G, it's just the best deal for a nice looking box of cards.
2)Blaster - Heritage, decent cards that I wouldn't want a hobby box of, but would like to get more than just one pack.
3)Hobby Pack - Bowman, because it's like playing the lottery.
4)Retail Pack - Obak, always a fun pack to open.
5)Random - Topps Chrome Value Pack, Three solid retail packs and three bonus orange refractors. Just one of those products where retail beats the crap out of hobby.
I usually don't bust packs or boxes... but if I did, here's what I'd get:
1) Hobby Box: 2010 Topps Heritage (I like the 1961 Topps design... and Heritage is one of my favorite sets every year.
2) Blaster: 2010 Topps Allen & Ginter (I actually one of those people who enjoy the non-baseball cards they include in this product).
3) Hobby Pack: 2010 Topps Sterling (I could never afford this stuff, but if I'm only able to grab one pack, it might as well be this stuff).
4) Retail Pack: 2010 Bowman Chrome (Strasburg autograph?)
5) Random other packaging (Rack Pack, Cereal Box, etc): 2010 Topps Holiday Factory Set (Is this cheating since it's a set? I really want those rookie variations).
1) Hobby Box ~ A Jumbo Topps Updates box. I need the inserts and you get so many plus 3 hits and plenty of traid bait.
2) Blaster ~ A&G since I didn't buy very much of thay this year.
3) Hobby Pack ~ Topps Finest. I like the product.
4) Retail Pack ~ Bowman Chrome. I haven't bought a single pack yet.
5) Random other packaging (Rack Pack, Cereal Box, etc)~ I would say a Rack Value Pack of the Topps Chrome. I love the orange refractors.
