You make a good point - I agree that the economy is probably playing a big role in the cut in production, so it's not all the supposed "downfall" of BDP. Actually, the economy is probably the reason why there's a bit of a trend of at least "knowledgeable" casebreakers dropping out. The only...
I don't necessarily agree with these statements. It does seem there are still plenty of people busting BDP when you see everything that hits ebay, but there's NO WAY Topps would cut production by 1/3 from 2008 (which was also lower than previous years) if there wasn't a decline in demand. I...

- Topps took out Junichi Tazawa (now Mike Carp) and Jake Fox (now Jeff Gray) from the RC set. From a casebreakers perspective, those...
I agree with most of these comments, other than the comment that this had the potential to be the best prospect product ever made. This year's draft class is not all that strong (doesn't really compare to 2005 or 2007), so that makes it a little tougher on Topps. They do have quite a few first...

If anyone is looking for these cases, please feel free to email or PM me. I can usually beat Blowout's listed prices if you are willing to deal directly rather than through ebay. I have a large quantity on hand, so I can help with whatever your needs are.
If anyone has any Veteran Refractors for sale or trade, please let me know. I need the following to complete some sets:
(2) 4 - Teixeira

I am going to be opening 2 more cases of 2008 Bowman Chrome to bring my grand total to 13 cases. I will be selling most of the singles in the Spring when the season starts up, but for now, if anyone is interested in any of the cards I've pulled, please email me at [email protected]
