"Only TWO Refractors of ANY color in this box"

Isn't that normal? I'm assuming those two are in addition to 1/2 regular base refractors

2008 Bowman hobby only had 1 chrome parallel in every box it seemed like. Of any color.

Yea, the way that tweet is written and capitalized makes it sound like he thinks there should be more. I know when I ripped other Bowman products, 2 colored refractors in a box was the peak of the case, there were some when it was 0 or 1

Edit: And "only" two non-chrome parallels in a box. Again, is that surprising?

Edit: Just tweeted 2 refractors period. Now his ONLY makes sense. Although I've had boxes with that before. Either means that box wasn't your normal box, or the presses were really cranked up

Again, same as 2008 Bowman. Sorry to use 2008 Bowman as a reference, but I've been ripping so much of it lately.

haha, yea. Thanks. I'm just surprised that he is acting like it should be significantly more, when on average, this is what you should be expecting

Edit: Blue parallels are 1:17, Orange 1:35, USA refractors 1:16 and /777

What is the usual assumed PR on base refractors? 500?

Parallel pulls were BRUTAL in 2008 Bowman.

This is a farce. Scan the whole checklist and pack and post the video. Nobody needs tweet by tweet line by line descriptions of the product. Quit dragging it out.


+infinity, no one cares about his little twitter thoughts

Refractors should be numbered so there shouldn't be any guessing on an expected print run. Based on the USA odds and refractor numbering, if only hobby cases were made it would come out to just over 2,000 total cases (unless I messed something on the math up). I will have to double check because that is too low.

"Strasburg orange base auto will be a tough pull at 1:56,500. I fully expect Gilmore to pull one. (We didn't.)"

Nice, they didn't pull an orange Stras ::facepalm:: Guess the 1:56K were too absurd to hit in the promo box

People have been guessing a base Stras in 1:10 or so cases, so where it is right now seems a bit better than that. When he refers to Hobby, is that hobby vs. retail, or hobby vs. jumbo?
