Box Design: Could be the best part of the product :) but the immediate draw is RG3 and the 2 autographs on the front box jumps out at you and grabs your attention to want to take it off the shelf. Sage did a very good job with that.

Wrapper: Not so attractive. No player on it. No design. Nothing catchy autograph words or hits or anything. Very blah. If I saw this sitting on a shelf, I would have never grabbed or purchased it.

Base: Dull, no action shots. No logos. No attempt. However first cards of Michael Floyd, RG3, and Brandon Wheeden were nice.

Inserts: N/A. That's right. They weren't available. I didn't get one parallel out of my blaster. Just base cards.

Memorabilia: N/A
Autographs: This is what everyone buys this product for. I got two no namers. The design however is not bad. And the autographs look unique. However I must point out the Alfonzo Dennard autograph. The sticker is crooked. The autograph is lazy as its just a scribble.

Overall: You knew this was coming. For desperation for new cards to come out. I bought it. But this will probably will be the last...for at least this year.....I also not only did not even get an insert, I couldn't even get a base set put together out of the box. There are 100 cards in a blaster. 75 in the set. I was at least 10 or more off from the set. I don't even believe with this particular blaster I didn't get back what I paid for it. I give you precaution when trying these, but if you want the first cards of the new draft class give it a try. Maybe you will get lucky and get a good autograph. Or a base set :)
I bought a 2012 Sage Hit Football 20 pack blaster box today at Target. I assumed I was going to get 2 rookie autographed cards and a chance at rare inserts and parallels in the packs. I vot the autographs but I receiving single inserts or parallel card. Apparently, others have experienced the same thing. I have to say that if I knew that the packs only contained base cards I wouldn't have bought the blaster box. Also, packing the 2 guaranteed autographs outside of the packs in their own see-through pack took the fun out pulling those cards.
ReplyDeleteThis is typical of the SAGE Hit blaster boxes/packs. Nothing new at all. The retail/blaster packs only contain base cards, in addition to the 2 autos guaranteed in each blaster box. Only the hobby packs/boxes contain other inserts and parallels.
