Sports Cards and Memories: Retail Breaks: 10 Value Packs and a Blaster Case of 2018 Topps Chrome Baseball

I usually have a picture of what I'm about to break but for some reason my phone doesn't it have it saved and everything has already been trashed, but I just finished the retail portion of my 2018 Topps Chrome Baseball break. I have two hobby boxes and two jumbo hobby boxes coming in next week so tide me o ver I decided to buy 10 Value Packs from Target and a Blaster Case on Ebay which was less than what blasters go for at the store. Topps Chrome has been blasted for being weak this year plus retail is retail so that typically leads to a bad combination. Would it be for me? Here's what I got

Overall Thoughts: So considering it's retail, I'm really happy with how my break went. I quickly sold the Happ Orange auto for $65 (that was a one out of 55,000 pack pull or something like that). I pulled 3 autos, which is about typical for retail but since the Topps Chrome Autograph Set list is so damn huge I wasn't expecting to hit anyone big and I didn't. That's ok though, but I got tons of rookie inserts and parallels of Ohtani and Acuna. Acuna alone I pulled 2 base rookies, 2 Sepia Refractors, a Pink Refractor, A Regular Refractor, and a Prism Refractor. Ohtani I pulled a regular refractor and 4 of the 1983 Topps Anniversary Retro card (those cards are absolutely stunning, always a favorite of mine). All in All it was a fun break! Here's pics of the better cards I pulled
