Is 2010 bowman jumbo really worth the plunge???

bscook86 · May 25, 2010

I havent bought much bowman/bowman chrome before. so im not sure whether or not the risk is worth the reward for the 2010 bowman jumbo. what do you guys think? i know the boxes are up to 160-170 on blowout now. where they were only 130 not too long ago.

Probably not at the current price point.

The two biggest 1/1's are still out there..... but, then again, you don't sound like an addict so maybe dangling the baggie in front of you has no effect?

Anyway, HEY JP! How's that case? You still protecting it for us?

Depends on what you pull.

If you're more interested in money and turning a little bit of money into a lot of money, it's probably not a good idea. If you're more interested in baseball cards and you're interested in turning a couple hundred bucks into some really nice rookie cards, then maybe a good idea. It's all about your expectations I suppose.

Yep, still intact.

Keep in mind the people excited about their rips bought in when boxes were under $100. To get your money's worth at current prices, you need to pull a major name in a chrome parallel of gold or better, plus a good assortment of other prospects, autos, etc. and sell over time. Odds are against it, so you have to place value in the act of ripping itself.

I bought a jumbo case for just under $800 (~$100 per box) and based on completed auctions, only would have made my money back on one box where I was fortunate enough to pull a base Strasburg autograph. For $160 a jumbo box, your odds of flipping for a profit are not in your favor.

The Jumbo Boxes IMO are overrated. In both of mine and others I have seen, only 2 autographs per box were pulled.

I think they are overrated too. It may seem like more color in jumbos but that is if it is a hot case, I have seen equally hot cases in hobby as well and with cases of hobby on ebay going for about $950 till yesterday , the hobby was a much better deal.

With that said, I was still gamblin and decided to get 4 more jumbos off ebay last night to "try" to get that Stras 1/1 auto even though odds of that happening are stacked
