This is a tell for now, it will have a show portion once I scan the cards later. It's a long read but a good story. This morning I had to go to Walmart to pick up jars as my wife is making strawberry jam and ran out of jars the night before. So I get the jars, and a few other things and head on over to the toy section. there's not a huge selection of blasters, a few Maple Leaf cent, some MVP, Parkhurst, and a 17-18 Platinum. I him and haw and decide on the Platinum, then pay and leave. I get in my car and decide to open the blaster and finish my coffee. I tear off the plastic shrink wrap and then realize the plastic wrap doesn't have the UD markings on it and think crap, I just bought a re-packed blaster, and should have known better to look for the UD markings on the shrink wrap. I should know better but I bought it so I'll open the packs. A little disapointed I look inside, and there is the advertised 6 packs inside, three on one side of the box and three on the other side. At least all the packs were there so I rip them open, each pack has the 4 advertised cards. The first pack has a Brock Boeser RC. The second pack had a Jost RC, the third pack had a MA Fluery Violet Pixels insert. So now I start to think maybe this wasn't repacked, open the fourth and fifth packs and one had a rainbow, and the other had a retro of some sort. I open the sixth and final pack, and the 3rd card in is a Luke Kunin Sesmic Gold, or at least I thought it was. I flipped it over to see the serial number, silly me, it's not the Sesmic Gold. It's a Golden Treasure's 1 of 1. Now, I'm 100% sure this wasn't a repacked blaster, because if it was someone really screwed up. I'll try to get a scan of the Kunin up in the morning, I don't think the scan will do it justice though.
 
That's pretty cool! I always pass on blasters cause I haven't been lucky in the past but this story may get me to buy them once in a while. Congrats!
 
Wow, amazing! Very nice blaster, congrats!

However, unless you had never seen a copy of either insert before, how did you confuse a Seismic Gold with a Hidden Treasures? They look pretty much nothing alike!:laugh:
 
I opened two blasters for fun after winning a razz locally... my best "pull" was a Huberdeau violet pixels.

Thankfully, it only cost me $4 to enter the draw!

I'm happy to hear that you had MUCH better luck than I did!
