He spent most of the time turning the TV on so he could continue watching Thomas the Train, but he did enjoy the wrappers and didn't manage to damage any of the cards he held. This box came from Craig Smith, who sent it to me about a year ago when I was commenting about Topps and Bowman "First Edition" boxes. I really liked them because they were no frills packs: there were no inserts, just cards like back in the 70s and 80s. Plus, the pictures on many of them were the same used for the autographed versions of their chrome cards. So, Craig sent me a 2005 Bowman First Edition Baseball box. Verlander was the picture on the box, so I was hoping to pull him. Here are my three favorite pulls:
I also pulled a Jonathan Sanchez, Ian Kinsler, Jeff Niemann, and Billy Butler from the box. A similar Kemp recently sold for $6.49 delivered on ebay. I still contend that these should all be considered ROOKIE CARDS. Each dealer had to take one 2 box case of First Edition cards and one 12 box Hobby Case in order to get an 8 box Jumbo Case. They were inserted into packs. How are they considered parallels and not rookie cards?
