2007 Bowman Sterlling Box Break

[itsjustcardboard]

In my search for the illustrious Jason Heyward autograph, I recently picked up a box of 2007 Bowman Sterling from eBay. Heyward, being the big pull for prospectors this spring, has been on a tear and I wanted some exposure to the Braves’ prospect. Being a skeptic, I only really buy high end product at a deep discount if I am buying from eBay. You never know when someone is trying to rip you off. 2007 Bowman Sterling is a solid product with lots of big names besides Jason Heyward. Joba Chamberlain, Tim Lincecum, Tim Alderson, Matt LaPorta and Daniel Bard all signed for this product and are all big hits. Here is how I did:

Rookies:
Mike Fontenot
Sean Gallagher
Carlos Gomez
Kevin Kouzmanoff
Mark McLemore
Billy Butler Refractor 148/199

Prospects:
Joe Gaetti
Mark Hamilton
Kala Kaaihue
Zach McAllister
Michael Saunders
Ryan Klosterman Uncirculated Gold Refractor 1/10

Relics:
Barry Bonds
Ryan Howard
Tim Hudson
Tim Wakefield
David Ortiz Refractor 116/199

Rookie Autos:
Joba Chamberlain
Nick Gorneault
Josh Hamilton

Prospect Autos:
Tim Alderson
Daniel Bard
Joe Benson
Todd Frazier
Clayton Mortensen
Josh Outman
Ben Revere
Travis Snider
Brandon MaGee Refractor 155/199

I thought it was a pretty bad break, but then I hit this in the bonus pack:

Matt LaPorta Black Refractor 25/25

Pretty sick pull at the very end. You can check out the scans here:

Even without the LaPorta that would have been a solid break (a GREAT break a few years ago!). Joba and Hamilton were great pulls in 07... definitely cooled down since then but still a pretty good box.

Sick LaPorta! Ive always wanted a black ref sterling of his!

Congrats! The box toppers used to make Sterling profitable, sometimes all by themselves!

your scans show a Bruce refractor auto. Did you pull that also?
