For those of you who buy new packs, when does bowman base set usually hit the stores each year and does anyone know if this issue time frame has remained consistent for a while?

I usually make my own MSExcel checklists and put the real product release dates at the top. Looking at my past Bowman w/Chrome checklists:

2007 – May 31st
2008 – May 14th
2009 – May 13th
2010 – May 10th
2011 – May 8th
2012 – May 9th
2013 – May 8th
2014 – April 30th

I see a trend here...
