Who haven't gotten the Bowman WRAPPERS yet?

[excel_B]

Well, I just got word a large bubble mailer arrived at my home via UPS from Topps.

Kinda nervous they may have sent me TC packs by mistake, guess we'll see.

I am going to get in touch with my wife - she's probably home by now...

I'm waiting on fifty-something packs but my LCS owner got 50 packs from his distributor as a gift for selling a lot of BC boxes. He got a black auto plus 3 chrome autos(no big names)

I sent in 15 boxes worth, nothing yet from Iowa.
2 cardshop owners in Des Moines got theirs however. 1 got an auto, but it was a USA /99.
The Topps info sheets says they were supposed to be Black Bordered and /25.
Also his packs looked to have 10 Bowman Black Bordered cards instead of 5. I guess this means I should be able to make a set, but it also means they made more of this stuff than they said they would.

I'm in mid-Michigan and I have not received my 7 packs. However, I did receive my Cashner Finest auto on Monday and Craig Clark BC auto yesterday.

Nothing here in Upper Michigan. I have 13 packs incoming.

Waiting on 16 here in New Mexico. Nothing yet.

Just got home, and the packs indeed appear to be thick enough to hold 10 Bowman cards, so I assume they're correct.

Live break coming up.

 

[SportsCardMojo]

I am still waiting...

Since I live in Baltimore, I would think I would get them sooner from the Topps facility in PA? :?

I live 30 minutes out of DC (between DC and Fredrick) and I got a box today. I will share my break in another post.

fyi, I did 4 cases, so I got 48 packs. 3 autos. I wonder if I made the odds.

 

[notoriousrmb]

Nothing here in St. Louis...expecting 7 packs.

 

[marterburn]

Nothing here in Wisconsin yet either. I have 4 packs coming, 1 sent in Novermber, 3 sent in December.

Have no real worries either since I sent my Topps Chrome wrappers with the 3 Bowman, and I received my Topps pack already.

got 1 of my 4 today. Nick Franklin & Grant Green were the best cards in it.

Looks like they might be staggering the shipments by date received since the other 3 I sent in were separate.

Do you think this is fair that distributors were getting these packs? What is everyones opinion?

Ok so it looks like Topps is giving 10 card packs instead of 5, and the USA Auto's are #'ed out 0f 99 instead of /25 and not Black Refractors.
Are the cards just black versions of the Bowman Prospect Set 1-110 that include Strasburg and Ackley and such?
Is anyone finding that anything else is different from what was originally stated for this promotion?

 

[All The Hype]

What's the turnaround time like on these? Seems relatively quick but if it'll be over three months, I'm gonna need to submit mine with a different address.

I don't know exactly what was origianlly stated, but:

Bowman prospect set 1-110; so Strasburg, Ackley, etc is correct.
There are Bowman Chrome USA autos /99 that are white bordered, and Bowman Chrome USA autos that are black bordered /25.
There are also Bowman Chrome prospect autos /100.
There are also the USA buybacks /100.

Ok great, thanks for the update.

So it looks like Topps is giving us at least what they promised, plus a little more, which seems great. I sent in 15 boxes (13 -2 months ago, and 2 just yesterday), I wonder how many if any autos I will get.
When I calculated months ago, guessing that 25,000 boxes or 25% of the production run would be sent in, each person would have a 1 in 12 chance of getting an auto for every box worth of packs sent in.
It seems like you should get more than that now with USA auto's #'ed out of /99. Of course most of these are crap, so not a huge bonus.
Since I sent in 15 boxes I am hoping for 2 autos, anything less and I will be disapointed.

39 coming to me in Alexandria, VA. Nothing yet.

 

[orion9578]

Anyone else still waiting? I sent mine in right after the promotion started and still notta .

 

[SportsCardMojo]

I wonder if they are working backwards. I sent mine in less than a month ago and got mine before most people. Not bragging, but I find that interesting that some sent theirs in shortly after they announced it and still haven't received their packs.

It would be interesting to have some insight on how Topps operates on the inside.

 

[hoopster3977]

Sent my case wrappers plus one box from a group break after I moved in December. Didn't want them getting lost in the mail. Nothing yet.
