Just KILLED 2 Bowman Blasters and I mean KILLED it!

[Bill Menard]

These were my first 3 blasters. The next two are posted below.

Loads of inserts, 2 Harper Chrome RCs, 1 harper bowman brightest, 1 RC Refractor, Chavez Clarke auto and Yorman Rodriguez auto. Not bad given the odds.

Nice haul! Beat the odds for sure.

Re: 3 2011 bowman blasters

I went to Target after work today and there was the excel marketing box sitting there, sealed, behind a register. I asked a sales associate if she would open it and she said she couldn't. Okay, whatever. Probably didn't have any bowman in it anyway.

Came home and my wife needed to go to... yep, Target. LOL. So I went with her about 3 hours later and low and behold - 2 Blasters. There was a gravity feed box too, but it was completely empty.

I bought the two blasters and I am very glad I went back with her. Absolutely killed it!

The Ichiro is a refractor too. It, plus the Harper Auto, the Harper Chrome, the Stanton green and the Pineda Bowman's Best were all in the same blaster. Unreal box.

That's about as good as it gets. Congrats!

Damn Bill, you scored big time. Wish my break would have been as good as yours.

Congrats Bill...I pulled the same Harper redemption a few hours ago out of 20 loose retail packs.

As soon as I saw the blue redemption card I knew exactly what I had...crazy.

You killed it! :lol:

That sales associate didn't know what they were talking about, I've never had anyone tell me they couldn't help... I've asked so many times that I've just gotten to the point, I pull out my keys and pop the box open myself. No one is ever going to complain if you are buying product... that's why it's there to be sold...

not to mention, i prefer buying ****** packs to packs that have been fondled by many a young man...

Ha ha! I couldn't agree more! I will usually look in them if they are already opened, butsomething about opening them myself sort of feels weird to me, so I didn't dare... especially after she said she couldn't open it. She just seemed like she was having a bad day and I didn't want to push it. Just glad my wife decided it was a good night to go and get some stuff we needed for the weekend (like toilet paper!).

That's funny, Mike... I didn't know. I saw the blue redemption and though it was going to be for one of those mystery redemptions like I've seen around, but as I saw his name I said to my wife "oh my God! I can't believe this just came out of one of my packs!" She was like, what is it? I told her it's $500.00 for the Disney fund

That's a good idea...Disney fund.

Should be fun.

Regardless, congrats again...it's just funny that I know exactly what it's like pulling that...today.

That's a good one. :lol: Congrats on your break!!!

 

[The Third Eye]

Congrats Bill, I opened some retail boxes last night and the first one had a redemption but it was for the Machado auto.

 

[Bill Menard]

I just tried the hobby route - 19 packs and 3 jumbos:

Blake Smith Auto
Adron Chambers Auto
Lars Anderson Auto
Another Harper Bowman's Brightest
Bowmans Best: Pujols, Crawford, couple other vets. Grant Green was only rookie.

I think I'd better to stick to retail! Though, it's dried up around here already! Even the mall sold out at $5+/pack.

 

[Bill Menard]

Just adding some more to what I've busted. Bought a jumbo box and 1 extra jumbo pack today. Nothing to great though. Probably my first major loss of the year on a bowman product. Fortunately the other hits from retail will more than make up for it.

Autos:
Ben Gamel
Addison Reed Refractor /250
Yonder Alonso

Refractors:
Adron Chambers Blue /199
Marcell Ozuna /799
Stetson Allie /799

International
Brandon Guyer RC
Brandon Phillips

Orange Parallel
Carlos Beltran
Jacoby Ellsbury

Blue Parallel
Dee Gordon
Darin Mastroianni
Gordon Beckham

Bowmans Best
Halladay, Braun, Heyward, Lincecum, Crawford, Gonzalez, Moustakas, Trout, Miller, Belt, Dominguez

Red Checklist /500 (stupidist idea ever!)

Harper: 1 base, 1 chrome.

Was finally able to put complete set together, so that was good. I think that will help get a few extra bucks back from the overall breaks, rather than collecting dust in the closet for years and years.

 

[pirates4]

wow, way to go man, definately beat the odds!

 

[Bill Menard]

Sixteen more packs of hobby today - brutal!

Carlos Perez Base Auto
Buster Posey and Josh Hamilton Bowman's Best
Blue RC no-name
Floyd and Happ Internationals
bunch of basic inserts.

Best Chromes were 1 Goldschmidt and 1 Banuelos, which were both in the same pack.
