Just wondering if there is any reason (besides they are a little cheaper) to buy reatil boxes? Are there any cards that are exclusive to the reatil boxes? -------------

Most UFC collectors dont buy retail, but if you look at Topps' other sports they LOAD blasters up, the new baseball Bowmamn Draft, someone pulled a 1/1 of one of the top prospects, which is easily a 3, 5k card for a $20 blaster. I am starting to buy up boxes of this because of what Nate said the /88's sell well. The Boness /88 would probably reach $80-$100. If you do buy some, any /88 debut cards you pull I will buy them. ------------- |

I pulled 2 rubies of that Jon Jones character, they went in the trash with all the base cards. ------------- Collecting low numbered stuff from Cain Velasquez, Erik Perez, Efrain Escudero, Travis Browne, Phil Davis |

Someone here had posted they pulled the R2 Okami 1/1 I bought on ebay from a retail pack.
When I first started collecting and didnt know any better I bought a case of retail, no rubies or 1/1's, total I've opened about 2 cases worth. I only need a few bronze to complete the set now. ------------- Collecting low numbered stuff from Cain Velasquez, Erik Perez, Efrain Escudero, Travis Browne, Phil Davis |
