MARK GRACE RETRO/FUTURE REFRACTOR, those are very hard to find. What are the stated odds on them? Want to part with it?

Odds are 1 retro/future refractor possible in every 60 packs. Course thats out of 440 players
So the odds of pulling one's specific player are exponentially higher- takes a while but patience is always rewarded of course


Feel free to email me an offer ( [email protected])

Took me several years of patient waiting to locate one of my players

OK folks today sbox is 2002 BOWMAN CHROME hobby
18 Packs with 4 cards a pack

Inserts can be found HERE

Sadly can't redeem the "uncirculated" one per box item anymore so won't open that silver pack with the code

Banging out 6 packs at a time as always- pack and box pictures as always

Like what I wrote on this one ?? Figured I'd add some levity :)

I like this years BC cause it was easy to tell rookies and vets- vets in red rookies in blue
Also had some rare auto's that turned ou to be good players ( David Wright as an example)

I rarely comment, but this is my favorite thread on FCB.

The thoughts appreciated Billy-- enjoying myself busting boxes again ;)




Starting to catch up on scans-- a couple of the refractors & inserts from the 2000 Bowman Chrome Box
Also shown is the jumbo box topper as well. More to follow. Sorry I'm scattered I tend to handle multiple things and switch
on and off projects. And yes I noticed the back of one is upside down I'm not going back and fixing it.
Can you see what I mean on the Teen Idol refractor popping ? Loving the color
