I picked up a blaster box of 2014 Upper Deck Football. I haven't opened a blaster before. I have opened up a hobby box of this product and liked it a lot so I figured I'd give the blasters a try too.
The blasters are a little expensive. They're $19.99 plus tax, for 35 cards and a bonus pack of Johnny Manziel career highlight cards (5 cards). That's basically $20 for 40 cards, or about 50 cents per card. That is pretty steep for a low end retail product. But on the plus side, the blaster box does guarantee you over 35 rookie cards in the blaster. In other words, you're not going to get a ton of worthless veteran base cards.
The only notable cards I got were a Blake Bortles rookie card, and a Jordan Lynch rookie card. I don't have either of those yet, so I was glad to get those rookie QBs.
I was pretty lucky and also got one SSP card and one SP card. The SSP card was a Aaron Colvin rookie card, and the SP card was a Martavis Bryant rookie card. I actually got a SP Martavis Bryant rookie card in my hobby box, so now I have two.
The Johnny Manziel cards were unremarkable. I don't think they're really true rookie cards so I'll probably sell them.
Overall, not a bad break. I got lots of rookie cards, one top QB draft draft pick, a SP rookie card, and a SSP rookie card. There are worse ways to spend $20. I can live with the outcome of this blaster.
