The base set autograph cards are "randomly" spread throughout the packs at a one-per-30-packs ratio (I think that's the number) with the other autographs plugged in "randomly" as well which, in the end, gives you an autographed card in every 20 packs or so. Since the packs get boxed in the same order they get packed if you buy a box with over 20 packs, i.e. the hobby box, then you are virtually guaranteed an autograph in the box. If you're lucky, like I was with one of my boxes, then you could get two in one box. Since the blaster boxes only have 10 packs then you've likely got roughly a 50% chance of getting an autograph in that box....Also anyone in AL I read that Targets & Wal-Marts are suppose to have 10 pack blaster boxes for $19.99 and each box includes a pennant from one of Bama's 14 Nat. Championships but I'm not sure if you get an autographed card in those...
Also, it seems to me that you pretty much get an entire standard base set & base Roll Tide Roll set in each hobby box. Since I bought three hobby boxes I believe I have three full base sets (cards 1 through 100). I'm trying to get a full collection (non-autographed ) set for myself and a second for my dad. The cards I have that are in the best condition, obviously, are going into those two sets. At this point, though, I'm almost positive that I've got a full third set of those 100 cards. The vast majority of them are NM/M (Near Mint to Mint) with a few VG (Very Good) and a handful G (Good) condition cards. If someone was interested in those cards, I'd make you a real good deal.I got 2 boxes today.Pulled McElroy and Scott Hunter auto cards.They are really beautiful cards.
You can get them thru the Bryant Museum gift shopHas anyone found the cards yet at any retail stores (Walmart target etc?) I hear the retail card boxes have some special cards that don't exist in the 24 pack boxes that card shops sell.
I haven't. I've checked the Wal-Mart and Target locations in Florence, Muscle Shoals, and Madison (not Huntsville). No one at any of those locations knew anything about the cards, much less if and when they would get them. You can, however, order the retail boxes ("Blaster Boxes") directly from Upper Deck. They're $19.99 plus shipping. However, you can register with the website for a free account and get a coupon code ("REGISTER") that's good for 20% off your order, which makes the boxes $15.99 plus shipping ($11.94 for UPS Ground for me).Has anyone found the cards yet at any retail stores (Walmart target etc?)

I've noticed the exact same thing.Pennants are what I was referring to.
And yes, I've had the same experience around town. No stores know anything about the cards. Even the local card store owner was shocked that no one was buying them. They've done no advertising whatsoever. Most people simply don't know they exist.
I live in Hoover, AL. Theres a card shop called CJ's in Vestavia. They are selling boxes for $46 and the guy working there said no one was really buying them yet.I've noticed the exact same thing.
On the "local card store owner" thing - are you saying that a local specialty shop has/had them in stock? Also, where's "local" for you?
There is a parallel set of the first 100 cards, and there are 50 of each in total. That means 5,000. If they are 1 per box, then there should be about 5,000 boxes. The blaster boxes miht throw things off, but that should only be a fraction of the market.I just ordered two blaster boxes and one regular box. Looking forward to seeing what I get.
Does anyone know how many of these were printed? Hopefully not many
Just bought 5 from http://www.dcssportscards.com/ for $44 a box. Free shipping and a $5 off coupon out there.Anyone interested in going in on a 20 box case it would be about $44 a box?
