Blaster Break - 2012 Topps

I spent the weekend constantly checking Twitter and eBay to see if 2012 Topps hit retail stores a little early. There wasn't much on Saturday or Sunday but today it became obvious that many Walmart's already had the cards in stock.

After work, I set out to buy some cards. There are a few Walmarts between my job and my house. The first one I went to had nothing but the second one was fully stocked.


Here's some of what I got in the first blaster. I really like the Gold Futures and 1987 minis. The sparkly, gold parallels aren't bad either.

    Yah the number patches are great. I don't really like the Historical Stitches.

    That's awesome man. I'm pretty disappointed that my Wal-Mart was not stocked with 2012 yesterday.

    Very nice - I am digging the 'Classic Walk Offs' card. I need to see that checklist!!

    I like those too, Brian. I got a Soriano and David Ortiz in my other blaster.

    I really liked the blue border parallels in the Opening Day packs last year, I'm glad they carried this over to the main set this year. Did they replace the tired old gold-bordered cards? I haven't pulled any of either color yet, but I just put up an exhaustive review of this year's stuff if you're interested.

      Hey Frank. The blues are Walmart exclusives. Not numbered or anything. Target even has red bordered parallels.
