When Bowman Chrome came out, I bought a couple boxes and saw that I had missed Mariners prospect Luiz Gohara on the checklist. Shortly thereafter I decided I wanted to have something to do, so started going after the rainbow. A little bigger than the Matt Tuiasosopo rainbow I had back in 2004 (I didn't buy a printing plate), as this was going to be a 13 card rainbow, or so I thought. I had totally forgot about the Blue and Red Waves, and even worse, I didn't know about the retail only Yellow Refractors /10. I knew the Yellow would probably be harder than even the Red. So I got through most of the rainbow, got some good deals, and shocker, was left with Yellow and Superfractor. Well I found a Yellow listed very poorly and was able to get a good deal on it. I think about two weeks had passed, and it had yet to arrive. Right about this time, the Superfractor pops up. I file a case on the Yellow, but also request contact info and end up texting the guy. He texts me back a little later and then calls me, and tells me that the package had been returned to his campus post office and they hadn't said anything, and he'd send it out again. I text him about three days later that I had won the Super and was just waiting on the Yellow, and he told me he'd sent it out the night before and would get me the tracking# later. He never sent the tracking #, and I text him multiple times over the next handful of days with no response, during which time I passed on another Yellow. He finally texts me back and says his girlfriend was supposed to mail it when he went out of town hunting, and didn't have his phone on, but she didn't send it. So he sent it that day, and sent me the tracking#, and it was supposed to arrive yesterday. Well, it didn't, even though the tracking had it arriving in Peoria the night before. So I call the post office and they say it's not at that facility, and that it should arrive tomorrow (today). Well, today comes and nothing. I can't believe it and check the tracking, and it headed OUT of Peoria the previous night. I call the post office again today and they say about the only reason that would happen is a wrong address. I text the guy what happened and he can't seem to believe it either. So currently I am one short of this big ol' 16-card Rainbow. Here's what I have so far!
