This is strange, I have seen several retail breaks from this stuff with auto hits. I don't usually buy retail and seldom hear of people getting auto's, so this is surprising to me. Maybe it shouldn't be with the auto's being so high numbered.
You got a gold ref, a ref auto and a USA auto, sadly that is pretty good for 4 boxes of 2010 Bowman Chrome. Hopefully Bowman Draft won't be as bad, but I will wait and see.
How many USA Jersey Redemptions were made? I think there were just under 10,000 boxes of 2008 Razor Letterman made. Are we talking like only 10 or as many as 100?
Bought a few cheap boxes: 2008 Tristar Prospects Plus for $24 and 2008 Razor Letterman Baseball for $30, so $54 total, I think I got a good return on my investment.
Tristar Prospects Plus:
Buster Posey Base RC card
Jarrod Parker Green Par 4/50 (D-Backs)
Shooter Hunt Green DieCut Par 2/50...
Yeah that Friedrich was a great patch, I don't know if any of the other 4 patch cards will be as good as that one.
Here is my listing for the Domonic Brown Patch card:

Yeah I didn't realize this was his first and only memorabilia card made of him. That should put a premium on this card.
There are 4 variations his jersey card from Topps Pro Debut:
He has the base plain colored jersey #'ed out of 199
A gold plain colored jersey #'ed out of 25
The Red Patch #'ed...
I will have the card on Ebay tonight. It is 4 colors, but not as nice of a patch as it could of been. There is a lot of plain blue in it. It has some of the U from USA and a part of a star.
I pulled a Christian Friedrich that was really nice, but Brown is a much bigger name, so I am not...
Bought a 12 box case of 2010 Topps Pro Debut Baseball Series 2 for $340 from Atlanta Sports Cards.
I was able to make 9 Regular sets and only needed a few cards to make 2 sets of the Future Foundations and 2 sets of the Baseball America Tools of the Trade Inserts.
Notable Parallel Cards:
12...
Today (11/12/2010) is a good day to buy cases on Ebay, because they are doing double Ebay Bucks. Which means you would get $20 instead of $10 for every $500 you spend. Also if you put it on a Credit Card you could get another 1% or 2% in Cashback Bonuses. Not to mention the money you can get for...
Where in the world did you get a case for $400? I got mine for $450, which I thought was great. I got $9 in Ebay bucks, plus if I sold the wrappers, I would be at $400 or lower. Is that how you are figuring $400? Or if you could get $50 for your wrappers are you saying you would only need to get...
Are you kidding me? You have to be making this stuff up! This case is unreal. Makes me not want to open my case, because you took all the good hits from me!!!! Just Kidding.
Too bad you didn't get an auto in that one box, but way to go on the red refractor and your second Sano Auto!
I love that Cashner Orange, being a Cubs fan.
Nice 1st box, that Sano is a really nice hit. It's selling for $100 to $125, so if you got this case a great price, then you have about 3 boxes paid for with that card alone.
Re: 2 Case - Bowman Chrome (starting soon)
I am in the same boat as you. I just got 1 case in the mail and am waiting to open it with my friend. I also have never pulled a Superfractor, but have pulled a few Red Refractors and Printing Plates. 1/1's are great, but there is just something extra...
Getting all those Strasburg and Chapman Auto's was Awesome. The only bad thing is that you got less colored hits than the stated odds on average. To only get 1 Gold and 1 Orange Auto is pretty weak for 12 cases. I guess that just shows how overproduced this product was. Hopefully you got these...
I looked up all 40 Regular Prospect Autos, the 20 USA Autos and the 10 Dual USA Autos on Ebay and found the range at which they are currently selling for. I threw out any super high or low amounts, and considered them anomalies. These are just for the base, so obviously the parallels may sell...
2 cases worth of wrappers sold for $100 on Ebay, that's pretty good. Of course with 2 cases you should get more than 1 set of the 110 card black bordered Prospect and also get 1 or 2 of the 2,225 redemption Autograph cards.
There is no way even 50% of the total production will be sent in. Many boxes won't be opened in time, many have already thrown packs away and several won't know or care about the redemption promotion. 20-25% will be turned in at most. If there were 9,115 cases made and 25% are redeemed and there...
All the topics I want answers about on the Topps site are never updated.
Like:
1) The Topps Gridiron Rookie of the Week giveaway. I saw the first few weeks, but who is 1-9?
2) The lack of 2010 Bowman Chrome Baseball USA Buybacks in packs. There hasn't been 1 pulled yet, so where are they? Are...
Why hasn't anyone pulled one of these Buybacks yet? Seriously, they should be easier to pull than a Superfractor, yet there are several of those but no buybacks! Are they in later production or what? Do you guys have any thoughts or theories?
