RE: 2011 Bowman Platinum 5 case break and contest thread (10PM Eastern cutoff) - tigersfan76 - 07-27-2011 Lowest Parallel: Shaeffer Hall, 86 pitches Good luck with the break and thanks for the contest! If you happen to hit a Boesch/Span dual auto/relic card, I'm interested.

Case #1, Box #1 Green prospect refractor /599: Carlos Perez Blue prospect refractor /199: Jordan Swagerty USA auto redemption Auto redemption: Matt Harvey Green auto /399: Rashun Dixon Green auto relic /199: Evan Meek Dual auto relic /89: Starlin Castro/Marlon Byrd Grade: C Comments: I rarely bust on the official day of release, and so I usually have much more information about the market for these cards when I’m grading the boxes. I have to think that I got solid value from this very first box. Basically six autos, including the two redemptions and the dual. They aren’t the autos I would have chosen, but the Castro is nice, and I’m pretty sure I got back what I invested in this box. Incidentally, Rashun Dixon is the contest auto to beat right now. If I don’t get any other auto parallels he will be the contest card. I won’t be listing the Harper prospects unless they’re numbered (I expect 5-6 base Harpers during the break and a couple of unnumbered xfractors). Nor will I be listing the gold, green, and ruby parallel rookies and veterans, as these are, sadly, unnumbered. Bad decision, IMO. Aesthetically, I think the cards look nice, if awfully similar to last year’s design. The xfractors and ruby refractors are especially striking. Again, too bad they’re not numbered, even if to /1000 or whatever. I like getting a blank in each pack; they are great for shipping singles. Your thoughts welcome, even disparaging ones. Case #1, Box #2 Green prospect refractor /599: Yasmani Grandal Blue prospect refractor /199: Drew Vettleson Auto redemption: Matt Harvey Auto: Tyler Skaggs Auto relic /1166: Jesse Crain Grade: D- Comments: I really don’t want to see 12 Harvey redemptions in this case. I think this box is very weak, but no complaints yet. Still swimming in case-cracking endorphins, and I see lots of upside with this set. I’m trying to be really careful with the prospect base; the refractive surface is a finger-print magnet.

RE: 2011 Bowman Platinum 5 case break and contest thread (first contest closed) - pyweed - 07-27-2011 Case #1, Box #3 Emerald prospect refractor /599: Drew Vettleson Ruby prospect refractor /25: Carlos Perez Auto: Brandon Guyer Auto relic /1166: Robinson Tejeda Grade: F Comments: LOL, ouch. Not even a full box. And I’m painfully close to a Carlos Perez rainbow, three boxes in. Case #1, Box #4 Green prospect refractors /599: Kolbrin Vitek, Mike Foltynewicz Auto: Kyle Parker Ruby Auto /10: Miguel De Los Santos Auto relic /1166: Adam Rosales Grade: D Comments: Ruby auto, but the wrong player. It seems very likely now that De Los Santos is going to be the contest card. As nobody picked De Los Santos, we will go to the tiebreak if this result holds. But another red auto would be nice also. RE: 2011 Bowman Platinum 5 case break and contest thread (first contest closed) - pyweed - 07-27-2011 Case #1, Box #5 Green prospect refractor /599: Jordan Pacheco Gold prospect refractor /50: Aderlin Rodriguez Auto: Miguel De Los Santos Green auto /399: Dickie Joe Thon Auto relic redemption: Brett Cecil Grade: F+ Comments: Wow, Brett Cecil. Just like last year. And this one’s just an exchange. My De Los Santos rainbow is looking pretty good, though. Case #1, Box #6 Green prospect refractor /599: Daniel Fields Blue prospect refractor /199: Christian Colon Autos: Delino DeShields, Mike Foltynewicz Auto relic: Ozzie Martinez Grade: D Comments: Looks like I can expect a lot of boxes like this. Just hoping the hits balance them out. |
