2021 Panini Mosaic mega box recap

Even with the lure of Shohei Ohtani on the packaging, a $34.99 price tag was a no go as far as an impulse purchase of a Panini Mosaic baseball blaster at Walmart - with a Target gift card handy, maybe I was looking to buy a mega box [$49.99], until settling for a couple of mega boxes of 2021 Topps Chrome Update.

As is, I am on the mailing list of an online retailer offering mega boxes for the same price as the blasters from Walmart - there was still some interest and while I've tried not to be a Panini baseball guy, I was looking for something different. 

I also got a 2021 Panini Chronicles mega box - which was priced a little less than they would outright from a big box store.

I pulled no cards of the cover boy Ohtani but that's how it goes - I just had to shake my head at my guaranteed autograph hit, where I saw another copy pulled in another break and thought it would just be the worst that was my pull as well.   

I still don't get how a pitcher who has barely pitched in the past 3 years is my guaranteed autograph hit - I realize retail is a real crap shoot, but Panini should have done better besides inserting an autograph of an undrafted free agent who hasn't logged 1 inning in pro baseball.
