Well, I'm sitting on some cases of 2008 Bowman Chrome that I overpaid for. But since prices have fallen so much, I decided to pick up some cheap cases to tide me over until Bowman Draft releases.

I have 11 cases to break. I've already broken 1 case and will post the results in a minute. I probably will only get through 1-2 cases a day, but will hopefully be done before this weekend.

I'll just be posting the inserts (excluding Vet refractors unless I hit a big one, i.e. Longoria). I'm planning on holding the majority of these cards until next season, when prices hopefully start to recover. I think there are some big-time sleepers in the prospect and Auto set, so we'll see what happens next year.

Re: 2008 Bowman Chrome 11 Case Break

Wow, that was weird, I pulled the same exact 6 Vet refractors in Box 2 as in Box 1. Great job Topps. Also no Vet or Prospect parallels other than the Vet refractors. Not a great start.

Re: 2008 Bowman Chrome 11 Case Break

Finally some good parallels, but not the right guys. Half way through, hope the second half is better.

Case 2 Box 6:

Veterans

No parallels.

Prospects

Gold Refractor: Glenn Gibson

Autographs

Dustin Richardson Orange Refractor (pretty o/c - any chance Topps would replace this? I know how great their customer service is).
