I bought 1 Blaster from Walmart on Friday on my way to the NXT show in Philly...I pulled a Kofi base shirt relic card.

Well. I am relatively new to collecting wrestling trading cards. I bought one pack of 2012 Heritage and got a sweet Ziggler relic and got hooked. I am a set guy, so i try to complete base sets and inserts as much as possible. I have also been buying relics off the bay as well, although it is not as much fun as the hunt. keeping that in mind, I really have always loved Topps Chrome, so I was pretty jazzed to buy the new set. Here were this weekends pick-ups: I bought 4 other blaster boxes as well after this. Now, I am not one to usually complain, but not only did I come 4 cards short of completing the base set, which is ridiculous, but my three hits were a Daniel Bryan t-shirt relic, a Cameron Refractor #'d to 75, and a refractor Kofi t-shirt card also #'d to 75. Now, I don't buy for hits, because I know better from collecting cards my whole life, but I was pretty bummed that this was all I got. I know some people got no hits, so I am not trying to sound entitled, but buying this many blasters and hanger boxes I expected to complete the base set. Needless to say, if you are looking for some cards to complete YOUR set and the like, let me know lol. Wow, that's a lot of product! Do you know you can buy a complete base set for like $15 on eBay? Also, a single hobby box will usually have a complete base set (for the price of 3 of those blasters, plus getting a guaranteed hit like an autograph or relic or better).

I do agree that spending that much money should give you more notable things. I do think you should have bought a hobby box though since at least you would get two relics and maybe an auto/kiss/printing plate. Plus you would get a gold (/50) refractor which is nice. Idk if you are done with this set but if you plan to spend more money I'd recommend getting a hobby box or buying individual cards on eBay.

Thanks for the comments guys!
X-fractors are up for grabs, I will post a list.
I would gladly have bought a hobby box if a shop around me would have carried them. Yeah, there is always online, but I don't know, I tend to romanticize walking into a store and buying them off the shelve.

I saw it as well. The only things I would really like were the Atomic Refractors of Rollins and Layla and the standard refractor of Naomi.

In case anybody missed it, on our Youtube Channel, we are giving away a few autograph cards & more in a little contest. Simply leave a comment and like the video to officially be entered. One lucky subscriber will then be chosen at random to win it all.

So...did another break on our channel, this time (5) Retail packs from Target. Needless to say, we got a sick hit, in my opinion. If interested, check out the video break link below. WWE Chrome Break

^ I am going to watch that very soon. I won this card just now: ***WWE Chrome 2015 Seth Rollins NXT Title plate relic for $13.50 shipped:I lost one earlier but I got this one. It was a little more than I wanted to spend but that is because the Canadian shipping is $4.. I was winning it for $9 but then e**v had to bump me up.. I got revenge though when I won it at the last second.. Me and him (or her?) have a rivalry lol. This will look really good in my small but growing Rollins collection.

I don't collect trading cards, but that is a sweet Rollins card.
