Why in the world did you buy so many retail blasters?

For eventual flipping.

How's that working out for you? I saw 10 blasters when I picked up these packs yesterday but didn't touch them.

This is very unlike your past investment strategies, and I'm just trying to wrap my brain around why you feel this is a good investment, with hobby wax already dropping like a rock.

I'm not at all trying to put you down, I just don't get it.

 

[Jaypers]

Ok, I'll explain.

First, sealed blasters of Bowman products almost never last long on shelves, at least around here.

In addition, this is the very first time Bowman Chrome as a baseball product can be found in sealed blasters - in previous years you could find them in packs only.

Thirdly, this is the first year in which every parallel but Supers and Plates can be found in retail. You'll recall the numerous products that have contained those annoying retail-exclusive SOTF autos which aren't worth a damn as a substitute for prospect Chrome autos. This time, not only can Chrome autos be found in retail, but you also get an additional parallel (purple refs), as well as USA autos and parallels. Another first.

And finally, as I said, I'm in no hurry to flip them. I'll just wait a year or two when they've dried up, and some of the autos in the CL are blowing up in the minors. There will be at least a couple.

How are Bowman Chrome retail blasters with lousy odds - 8 packs (1/3 of a hobby box) at $20 a better buy than hobby wax at about $50?

Less hobby produced than retail = people looking for cheaper alternatives once it becomes hard to find. It may seem impossible now, but I'm looking at the bigger picture.

Did regular retail Bowman Chrome ever have annoying SOTFs? I thought it was only draft that ever had SOTF.

It probably wasn't known as SOTF's in BC, but I distinctly remember there was a different autograph CL, exclusive to retail, which had nothing that even remotely compared to the BC prospect autos.

Bowman Chrome retail has always had chrome autographs. What you are thinking of is regular Bowman/Bowman Chrome (2008 for example) where there were no chrome autos, just annoying paper substitutes.

That's what I thought. I don't ever remember a non-chrome autograph coming out of an all Bowman Chrome product. Draft and regular Bowman (w/ Chrome) yes, but not all Bowman Chrome. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.

Still have the receipt, JP?

 

[SINFULONE]

I sort of understand his point, but if someone blows up years from now I'm still going to look for hobby boxes and not screw with junk blasters.2-3 years from now there is still going to be some hobby lying around somewhere, it won't be impossible to find.What are the blaster odds for the USA signatures?1:800?On top of that, they're the hideous sticker autographs anyway.Boo!(I just went to another board and the scan I saw had sticker autographs on the USA cards...and the damn sticker looked scratched).

I thought all the parallels (except Superfractors and the crappy plates, which no one chases anyway) were in the blasters for 2-3 years ago?

Why?

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Still have the receipt, JP?

Why?

To return it. You indicated that you bought these because of the lack of SOTFs...BChrome has never had SOTFs...

Wow, who knew? They're all going back tomorrow.

 

[ThoseBackPages]

[ThoseBackPages]
