I picked up a retail box also. Here’s my breakdown from that.

Unique base cards: 300

Duplicates: 36

SP/SSP: 1

Gold: 1

Rainbow Foil: 3

INSERTS

1985 35th Anniv.: 3

20 years of The Captain: 1

20 years of The Captain - Gold (#/50): 1

A Numbers Game: 2

Decades Best: 4

Prospects: 4

Turkey Red: 24

Turkey Red Chrome: 2

I was hoping to get most of the base set, so pretty happy with getting all 300. Wish I could’ve snagged more 1985’s and fewer of the other inserts though. Looks like I’ve got some trading to do…..

I grabbed 3 blaster boxes on eBay.  Here is the first:

math in the second blaster:

duplicates = 47

and third of three

 

duplicates

I bought one blaster at Walmart.  Got a Arozarena base, Yordan RD and 1985, a Bichette Turkey Red, one Jeter captain card, one numbers game (Clemente) and a Kyle Lewis coin card.  Plus 2 blue RC parallels.   No name guys.  Figured I did "OK".  
 

May just stick to singles on the update now though.  

Those of you wanting to make some trades just swapping 2020 topps Update doubles, please hit me up. Thanks.

Also got a Jo Adell #1 draft pick 1989 card.  

Local target just stocked these!! I bought a target megabox. The insert ratio was right on point. I didn't get a single double card which was nice but I also didn't get any sp or ssp. At 39.99 I might go grab another box or 2. 
 

the target exclusives come with Turkey Red 2020 cards, 1 per pack. I also pulled 2 TR chrome.

*edit- turkey reds are not target exclusive (duh). The Acuna set is target exclusive. 
 

Got a Yordan rookie and 3 Trout cards in total. 

all in all, not a bad box. 

Speaking of, I hate the store specific exclusives. I get hobby exclusive and maybe even retail exclusive, but store specific is BS in my opinion. 

I bought a retail box and got 2 golds. :P

but no auto/mem.

I noticed collation issues immediately and it would have annoyed me if I still did sets. I have no idea if I got an SP or not.

I'm thinking about buying a blaster, would you guys recommend getting one? Or should I get something else?

If you can find one, and if you like the set, I say go for it.  If it's more cards you don't already have, that's never a bad thing!
