Aweful, just aweful. 3 Retail Blaster box breaks

[eoerikson3]

I don't normally delve into the baseball products but since moving to SC, my hockey products are scarce. Today I decided to try my hand at some baseball while picking up some stuff from KMart and Target. Please note that they are retail blaster boxes that were purchased.
Now I am a fan of just about anything with a retro look and feel to it. I have busted many boxes on the hockey side of 02-03 Parkhurst Retro and quite a few of the 03-04 Topps C55. Because of that I chose the '04 Topps Bazooka and '05 Topps Cracker Jack as my latest victims of carnage.
I will start with the two blasters of Cracker Jack because of the two products it was my favorite.

Here is the highlights of the two retail blaster boxes of 05 Topps Cracker Jack:

Overall, not a bad two blasters.

Now the disappointment comes in the next box. The '04 Topps Bazooka would have been my favorite however, EVERY card in the box had a dinged corner. There was no signs of damage to the outer carton. A lot of cool cards are destroyed for no apparent reason.

Here are the highlights that became lowlights:

Now the scan:

Now I know it is only a thread, but it still qualifies as a color.

Thanks for looking.

The awful part was the quality control with a whole box of damaged cards. I did not object to the content, just the shape the cards are in.

Yes, I will trade or sell just about everything I have. Make an offer of cash or trade (preferably Hockey) and I will get back to you. Also, anyone know who is on the Tattoo card?
