now that 2008 bowman sterling is out...

[boxbreaker]

which is the better product 2007 or 2008?

i was a big fan of 2007, have not bought any 2008 yet but the patches and gold refractors are a huge bonus. the checklist 2007>2008 for me. what about you?

is the box topper a down side vs. 2007?

also what value for the players (that are not duplicated) for the 2009 season? 2007 looks very possible to have a lot of call-ups. 2008, i don't know.

thanks for your insight!

Ive still got a bunch of my 07 sterling. Ive still got autos from 2007 of Heyward,Laporta,Vitters,Ahrens and Detwiler and a few others too including Deolis Guerra.

I am chasing only one player in sterling. Last year, I was chasing 6 or 7...


not a great product with lots of second auto cards IMO

The value of buying packs is greater this year since the parallels are in there, but overall it's a weaker product IMO.

Don't see a lot of guys I like. I like the base checklist, it seems a bit better than 07.

I actually like 2008 because you can buy the single prospect autos for a lot cheaper than the 07 ones. 08 has alot more sleepers in it for affordable prices. Plus, 08 has the black, gold, and red refractors in the single packs.

i agree that in the pack is the way to go. if they get a good auto checklist the 2009 on card product should be a winner.

thanks for the opinions, i was going nuts deciding on ordering a case of one or the other, as i found them for the same price.

07 has star prospects.. Bumgarner,Heyward, Vitters, LaPorta, Price... 08 dosen't really have any of those guys.. Tillman and Halman are good, but arn't as big as the guys in 07... so I like last year's sterling more

other than freeman and saunders the base checklist is pretty weak.

07 was great and 08 has alot of value as well I mean Live montero auto's, Halman, Lars Anderson, Tillman, Arrieta, not to mention the pack value is greater with golds black and Reds in the packs.

Yeah, 08 has some nice autos for sure.. but no top 10 draft picks like last year

I'm bored silly by '08. I thought Gamel was suppossed to be in it. I liked '07. the RC autos alone made it fun for me.

so what can you get in the box toppers for the 2008 sterling anything good? I have only seen base rookie cards. If the blacks, golds, and reds are all in packs anything good in the toppers?
