1st Walmart Blaster - World’s Greatest Card Chase (Pack Edition)
I went into Wally World today and decided to find the most packs for the buck. This was to ensure, truely bad packs of cards. I came across World’s Greatest Card Chase Multi-Sport Pack Edition. The bottom line 20 packs for $19.97. The gimick in this one is that there are several packs of very high value (vintage packs) which include:
1952 Topps High Series Baseball (Mantle as well as common cards worth $2000)
1957 Topps Football (Starr, Unitas, and Hornung RCs)
1971-1972 Topss Hockey (Dryden, LaFluer, Dione RCs)
1960 Topps Baseball (Mays, Mantle, Yaz (RC))
1961-1962 Topps Basketball (Robertson, Chamberlain (RC), West (RC))
Chances in landing one of these 1:9600 packs, they also have Throwback packs (basically anything older than 1985) for all 4 sports. Odds in landing one of these is 1:1500. I am almost giddy with how awsomely bad this is going to be.
The best part if you look at the box (seen below) is that they are making you believe that even if you do find the magic pack, it’s going to contain all those hot cards, which we all know is false. I decided to one this up one pack at a time, instead of just ripping open the box to ensure that I didn’t find a rare pack. Just to let you know if the incredibly off chance I do land one of these, it will be going on ebay (I have a house I’d like to pay for).
Here is the front of the box:
The first pack is . . . . a 99 cent pack of TriStar’s Hidden Treasures World’s Greatest Card Chase Hockey Edition. I just checked Ebay and I can get a box for $12.95. See the next post for the opening!
No part two yet for the opening?
What about the other version the great card chase that has a babe ruth in it?
I bought a box of Gems of the game at Wal Mart, 25$ + taxes (5%+ 7.5%) 20 packs, and the packaging showed the possible valuable cards I could get. Opening it, of course, no surprise, I found nothing valuable. The “best card” was a Brett Hull insert #/3000 worth 8$ book value. Pro Set cards were included as well as rookies worth 0.01$ each.
