I got my cards yesterday. Struck out on 3 lots, but did great with 4. Everything was packaged well.

I was confused by some "bonus" cards that were included. There was about 20 random base bowman cards of different players, maybe 5 random chromes, and a refractor of bruce maxwell, and a Jeter/Almora insert. Shouldn't those cards have been in lots that were won by someone?

I think he busted a few jumbo cases for himself. I got the same bonus cards. I'm assuming that's where these came from.

Received the Buttrey lot yesterday. Cards were protected perfectly and even threw in some extras. Thanks Boomo!

I was wondering how many base someone with a paper lot would get. Thanks for sharing. Nice haul.

I'll take a hit $ wise, but mainly due to to the two Orange+ lots coming up empty. Still pissed that I lose the Peter O'Brien Chrome-Gold Ref lot. Would have doubled my snipe if I had figured out how many chromes I would have ended up with as well as refractors

I won the base to gold O'Brien slot. Only $56. And Boomo pulled at least one gold refractor.

Yea, I think my snipe was $55 or something like that. If I had realized it would be anywhere near 100 chrome and 20 ref I easily would have sniped closer to $100, but I just didn't really look into it

I got the base paper O'brien and only got 156 base, 1 blue & 1 Orange

Figured I would get about 250 considering I opened 4 cases and got about 5 in each case. :confused:

That sounds really off. Looking at the lots posted above, to only get 156 base bowman...seems like about 50-75 are missing. I never bothered to count my Carmona base cards...I guess I should do that. We've seen bad collation before from Topps, but that's really bad collation to be off 50-75 cards.

I pmed Boomo about that and he said he didn't ship all cards, rather he was sorting a bunch and then shipping partial packages and he has shipped the remainder after.

That makes sense - the regular Bowmans take forever to sort!!!!

oh yeah, deff another 75 or so for any that didnt get out in 1st lot. sent about 20 today.
hope to have them all gone by friday, slower than i had originally hoped, but its only paper lots,
so was hoping that would be ok.

I had won nine lots for about a hundred dollars. Got cards yesterday and I hit 10 blue, 2 gold and 1 orange refractors plus one purple ice and a press plate. I would do this again.

I finally opened my lot of shane watson auto's base to blue and the only thing i'll say is the whole process was very professional until it was packed to be mailed...

half the cards have gnarly surface scratches and only the blue was protected. None of the other auto's even had a penny sleeve which would have prevented this. Dont really care if it seems like a "cheap" auto to you but at least make sure they are sent in a way not to damage them.
