Agreed. It's a lousy title, but it has the main keywords - the glaring oversight being "ref" or "refractor," but anyone looking for '10 BC red refs or that particular player should have found that auction. Regardless, nice card!

I just bought this one.

Doesn't look like much, but that's the Extended Rip Card.

Congrats! $48 for that card is a very solid deal, but I think it could just as easily have been random pricing volatility that resulted in the low price. The title has the player's name, "Bowman Chrome", "red", and "5". Not great for a title, but not outright terrible either. Some of his golds have closed as low as $12, so it's not inconceivable to win it at $48, even without any help from a bad title.
Either way, he's a player I like (smart kid... Stanford commit), so I can understand your satisfaction with the deal.

Considering a similar auction went for this:

A few weeks earlier, I was stunned at the price. Refractor was left out of the title as well, which catches a LOT of viewers.
And Maxpower, the Gold at $12.50 went that low because I didn't bid higher. That's the lowest a Gold has went. The other low was $18.71. Then the rest are mid $20's to high $30's.

Well, as long as you're happy, that's all that really matters!
I've been watching the kid (I like him because he committed to my alma mater). I've held off on buying his stuff because of the residual Strasburg/Harper premium on 2010 Bowman stuff and because I think he'll ultimately end up going to Stanford rather than signing (so there will be time to pick up stuff later).
It would be hard for you to go wrong with the red at $48. There's definitely upside there and not much downside. That being said, the golds have been trending down ($40+ at product release (3 sales), $30+ in early-to-mid June (4 sales), and the two most recent only got $18 and $12).
It's entirely possible that the lack of "ref" or "refractor" in the title accounts for the final price, but I think it's also possible that maybe you got a good deal just because the prices on stuff like this are all over the place. Either way, I think you're totally justified in being happy with the purchase!

Thanks everyone. I'm waiting for the super to pop up. I'm sure a nutso bidding war will go with that one ... :?
I do know that I only need a Refractor and a Red of another USA guy to have the rainbow though ...
