2006 Bowman Sterling Box Break

[CardinalAce2012]

So I got this box for Christmas, and held off until now as I was expecting a pretty rough break. The hits from the only other box I opened would have been lucky to bring in $50, considering the top auto was probably Troy Patton.
The prospect autos were Cameron Maybin, Brandon Allen, Michael Felix, Ronny Bourquin, Kyler Burke, Joshua Butler, Micah Owings, Steven Wright, Daniel Haigwood, Johnny Whittleman, and a Brandon Wood refractor.
The rookie autos were Mike Napoli, Bobby Livingston, Ian Kinsler, and Ricky Nolasco. So overall, about as rough as I expected, then I opened the top loader expecting something like a jersey like last time and pulled:

Sorry for the large pic, I cropped it in photobucket but for some reason it's posting the original scan. Anyways, I was pretty excited, especially considering my expectations.

Huh it's cropped now, I guess the preview window just didn't recognize it or something, and thanks.

Sweet box topper! Is it available for trade?

That is an incredible card. Congratualations.

Sick hit! That's wicked.
Anyways, your computer had already downloaded the pic as the original, so when you cropped it, your computer still loaded the uncropped version that it downloaded, so you have to reload/refresh the page to get your computer to download the new, cropped picture. I had the same problem with my shoutout thread yesterday. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks Anthony, I figured it was something like that, I'm pretty bad with computers. It's not available right now, but does anyone have an approximate idea of its value? I don't think any have sold recently, so I'm just curious.

I would guess anywhere 300-400. Nice card, it'll be even better to have a GEM label on it

What's the serial # for the Maybin?

It's numbered 11/25.
