Out of my final blaster, I got a grand total of 8 cards out of the 64 cards that I needed (12.5%). ..and the majority of those were inserts (though I even pulled an insert duplicate!) Obviously, this blaster was a complete dud. I'm missing a lot of base cards...and this blaster did very little to change that! I have a hunch it's beginning to approach the time where I should focus on trading for what I need as opposed to buying blasters...
