I pulled one in my case (Slade Heathcott). I noticed it pretty quickly, but I scrutinize the cards in the middle of each pack pretty closely, and I was on the lookout for these (and gum damage cards) as I was busting my boxes. Basically the front and back are reversed -- the front image (photo)...
Is it appropriate to say that I listed a bunch of these on eBay recently? If not, I apologize and humbly request that a moderator remove this post.
If this is OK, my eBay username is steve-k.

I probably would have sold too early, but most of my cards are in storage space limbo right now. I need to retrieve them soon, I want to have my Matz cards ready for when he gets called up, not too mention all the other stuff I'd like to sell. I do have a couple of Matz refractor autos at home...
I bought one of these years ago, a pack of 2006 Bowman Heritage with a guaranteed auto. When the pack arrived, it had a post-it note stuck to the outside that said "Lance Broadway". Sure enough, when I opened the pack, a Broadway auto was inside. Realizing that the seller obviously knew what was...
My BIN was hit by someone last night ($15). Is it possible that someone knew about today's announcement ahead of time? Probably just a coincidence, right?
I'm usually too lazy to list cards of hot call-ups, and I'm still kicking myself for not listing my Strasburgs, Boeschs, Dom Browns, etc. When I should have. So I listed a lot of 9 various Chapman Bowman/BC from '09 and '10, along with my Triple Threads #1/3 relic, as one day auctions earlier...
Another factor that might affect supply when and if he gets hot: The majority of refractors, #/500 and rarer, that I've seen show up on eBay are badly centered left-to-right. So well-centered cards will probably fetch a premium.
There were a few Series 2 cards that had variations without the facsimile auto. I know Paul LoDuca was one, I think Yadier Molina night have been another.
I love topics like this. Good food for thought for Fantasy baseball steals. I agree that Delmon Young will continue make some progress this year. I think former Devil Rays teammate/troublemaker Elijah Dukes might finally play with consistency this year too, but I don't know if he ever fell into...
Maybe this is already on everyone's radar, but just in case it's not: Bing Cashback is up to 10%. Hopefully it'll continue to rise through the holiday shopping season.
I got my order today, and the 2008 Bowman Baseball boxes are indeed retail. I figured that would be the case, but I didn't realize that I had zero chance of pulling a prospect auto out of these. There's one "Signs of the Future" auto per box, but those kinda stink. For a buck a pack I can't...
