2008 Bowman Chrome + 2006 Bowman Chrome (birthday) breaks

[martincp]

I'll start this by saying I'm not really a prospector at all, I tend to build sets of cards I like - namely Prime Cuts Series I and t206. Occasionally, I do feel like opening some boxes - some of the pulls on the breaks board are incredible :!: With my birthday approaching and sales going well on ebay I thought I'd buy a couple of boxes (from ebay despite warnings) and try my hand. The Bowman Chrome 2008 opened last week produced this:

Austin Jackson Refractor Auto - Not too bad and had been having a great spring training until recently.

The Bowman Chrome 2006 opened about 20 minutes ago netted:

not good

then

DAMN ::facepalm:: ::facepalm::


BUT incredibly there was a second auto (and the one I really wanted from this product):

EDITED TO ADD - NOT FOR TRADE OR SALE. Sorry.
