I haven't opened packs of anything for a long time and I've been trying to stay away from prospects, but I've been caught up in all the 2010 Bowman excitement. I'll skip all the vets and inserts. Things didn't go so well at first, but I'm glad I tried again.
First retail try highlights (5 retail packs, 1 jumbo retail pack)
1st year chromes
Andrew Cashner
Edinson Rincon
Craig Clark
Jason Christian
Welington Dotel
Jeff Antigua
Ryan Dent
Melky Mesa
Bo Bowman
Alexander Torres
USA Chromes
Ladson Montgomery
Tyler Holt
1st Bowman Cards
Aroldis Chapman
....no one else I recognize, but I probably don't know all the good names
so for $20, I don't think I did well with the first try. No color, no refractors, no numbered. Aside from Chapman and Cashner, I didn't really recognize anyone else.
Second retail try Highlights (4 retail jumbo packs)
There was 1 blaster there and some regular packs, but I haven't been impressed with those so I went with the only 4 jumbos left.
1st Year Chromes
Donavan Tate
D.J. LeMahieu
Aroldis Chapman
Yen-Wen Kuo
C.J. Retherford
Cody Satterwhite
Scott Shaw
Domingo Santana
Rex Brothers
Brian Baisley
John Lamb
Anthony Gose
Simon Castro
Cole McCurry
Green RCs
Jason Heyward
Jenrry Mejia
USA Chromes
Jameson Taillon
Bryce Harper
1st Bowman Cards
Andrew Cashner
Stephen Strasburg
so for my second $20 I still didn't get a single numbered, colored, refractor card. However, I did hit a TON of big names. I wish I could have just skipped the first try all together.
...and for the question....what do do with the Strasburg? Should I hold or sell? I was thinking of putting it up with a $0.99 starting bid for 3 days to end the night of his first start and hope for big things. Good idea? Let me know what you think.
