2010 Bowman Jumbo boxes (3 Chrome autos per box)

[Wes]

So you're looking at 24 chromes autos per jumbo case and 12 per hobby case? What is the point of going the hobby route? Cheaper, maybe, but at 3:1 chromes you might as well go for jumbos

Maybe its just me but 24:12 is 2:1. Also if 1/3 are "RC" autos then its actually 16:12.

Will have box and case pricing posted later today.

Blowout has them for $720 a case pre-sell on their weekend pre-sale promo. On their website they are $749 though.

::facepalm:: Wow, im an idiot. Obviously you're right. So most likely you get 4 extra prospect chrome autos, plus 8 RC chrome autos, plus more base cards for an extra $30.

Looks like I will be getting a jumbo case.

...
BOWMAN CHROME AUTOGRAPH CARDS (32 subjects) - 3 per Jumbo Box!
Autograph Rookie Base Card Variations (10)
- Printing Plates (10) - Each is a 1 of 1!
- Red (10) - Each is a 1 of 1!
- Orange (10) - Numbered to 250!
- Blue (10) - Numbered to 500!

I'm not sure the RC autos will be chrome. The bolded part is confusing...look at the very next line (in red).
If my calculations are correct (please correct me if I'm wrong), here are the numbers by case:
Hobby
boxes 12
packs 24
cards 2880
base vets & RCs 1440
base prospects 576
chrome prospects 576
various inserts 288
chrome pros. autos 12 (1/box)
base RC autos ??

Jumbo
boxes 8
packs 12
cards 3072

base prospects 768

various inserts 288 (same as hobby)
chrome pros. autos 16 (2/box)
base RC autos 8 (1/box)

Does this mean Topps did away with Xfractors???

Just noticed this too. Sweet. :mrgreen:

I don't find that too sweet.

I am a big fan of the Xfractor...especially for prospecting. I generally made the most ROI from my xfractors (may just be me, though).

Looking forward to that. Think I may jump on a jumbo case now that I passed on eee.

Just think... Blue Refractors sell like Blue Refractors if they are numbered out of 99 or 199 (i.e. 06 draft) so 250 probably wont affect a blue refractor and you will get a lot more to make way more $$$$ from than any X ever would. I mean X's can generally be had for far less than half a blue so I don't see how you could possibly think you would lose in this situation. This is definitely good.

Not saying I will lose...just upset to see the Xfractor go is all. Don't get me wrong, I do like the Blue Refractor...there was just always something about the Xfractor that I loved.

I'm guessing that this is likely due to the uncut sheets that have shown up from CargoLargo and what not.

Topps does not, in any manner, make any representation as to whether its cards will attain any future value. *Although these players have agreed to provide these cards to Topps, we cannot guarantee that all autographs will be received in time for inclusion in this product. In the event of unavailability, Topps reserves the right to substitute an alternative autograph and/or relic card. Topps has authorized only the packaging and distribution of the number of sequentially/hand numbered cards stated on the card, but cannot guarantee that counterfeit or other unauthorized cards will not exist.

WTF?
This is out of nowhere. This is very serious.
Reading between the lines is not making me feel good.

They have stated that for a while on most product as they're required to per contracts. For secondary card values.. I am guessing the latter is because of the lawsuits filed against them, For people finding cards that only 5 were supposed to be made. But 10 are on the market. And the load of fakes on ebay of Preimere autos..
