I am working my way through a Retail box of 2013 Bowman Baseball, pack by pack, to see what I get. Since I am mostly focused on filling out the set, I bought the Retail box to save $20-25 over the Hobby box. Maybe the extra inserts in the Hobby box would make up the difference in value, but I don't think that usually works out in the collector's favor.
This first pack was kind of a skunk. There were only 9 cards in the pack (the front of the pack says I should get 10 cards), and every one of the cards in the pack was one I already had in my set binder. For the sake of the blog audience I will push through and talk about them anyhow.
Two Chrome cards are promised in every pack, unless you get an insert, which I guess counts as a Chrome card usually. I don't know. Bowman is still a bit of a confusing product. So I got these guys again.
I've never seen a pack without a Gold parallel in it, so I'm guessing you get one per pack. This one is pretty nice as it features an Astro who may even qualify as a semistar in some good bright colors. He's even got orange sunglasses on. Unfortunately, this card was also a double for me.
I will trade for your Altuve goldy double. Send me and email if interested.
ReplyDeleteI would be willing to trade the Altuve card. Sorry about the long delay in my reply. Things got out of hand for me for a couple of weeks there.
DeleteI appreciate the link! It's always good to get more readers.
