RE: 2012 Bowman Draft 10 case break and contest thread [CONTESTS CLOSED] - pyweed - 12-08-2012 Case #7, Box #10 Jake Pintar Blue /500 Anthony Gose Orange /250 Austin Maddox Orange /250 Robert Ravago Blue Refractor /250 Michael Zunino AFLAC Auto 180/225 Grade: A+ Comments: Seven brutal boxes in a row, followed by three terrific ones. Making things more interesting is that the Zunino serial number gives us yet another contest leader. Esa0315 predicted a serial number of 175, and is now in pretty good shape. There may well be a few more paper autos with high enough serial numbers to make a difference, but one would have to fall in a pretty tight range to make a difference.

Pollock Blue /500 Correlle Prime Blue /500 Branden Kline Orange /250 Jordany Valdespin Blue Refractor /250 Wyatt Mathisen Blue Refractor /250 Kevin Gausman AFLAC Auto 126/225 Grade: A Comments: Keep ‘em coming. Another AFLAC auto, but a lower serial number. Case #7, Box #12 Jordany Valdespin Blue /500 Luke Bard Blue /500 James Ramsey Blue Refractor /250 David Dahl Perfect Game Auto 065/235 Tyrone Taylor Auto Grade: A Comments: What a finish. Again, another paper auto. Case #7, Box #12 Jordany Valdespin Blue /500 Luke Bard Blue /500 James Ramsey Blue Refractor /250 David Dahl Perfect Game Auto 065/235 Tyrone Taylor Auto Grade: A Comments: What a finish. Again, another paper auto. Case #7 Summary Grade: B Comments: The first 7 boxes were giving me average value – and headed for a squarely C grade, my weakest case of the break, with only an Addison Russell base auto by which to be impressed. But the final five boxes were worth double the 7 preceding boxes, and boosted the overall grade, thanks to two AFLAC autos, a Perfect Game auto, a Black auto, and a Joey Gallo blue refractor auto. My computer has been crashing, so the last several boxes have been posted in Safe Mode. Argh. Thought it was an update to Firefox causing the problems, but now it’s crashing on Google Chrome too. I’m sure I caused the problem somehow trying to stream out of network football.

RE: 2012 Bowman Draft 10 case break and contest thread [CONTESTS CLOSED] - nyyankeesfan28 - 12-08-2012 The final five boxes of case 7...wow!

J. Griffin Gold Refractor /50 Tommy Joseph Futures Game Jersey /199 Paul Blackburn Auto 126/225 Grade: B Comments: Ends my streak of 8 boxes without a colored non-auto refractor in gold or better.

I'm extra glad they happened at the end of a case, or it would have been hard to bust the remaining boxes, knowing they were probably not as nice. Case #8, Box #3 Tyler Gonzalez Blue /500 Yoenis Cespedes Blue /500 Jacob Wilson Orange /250 Anthony Gose Rookie Refractor /300 Jeremy Lucas Blue Refractor /250 Shane Watson Auto 126/225 Grade: C Comments: Site has slowed down again. Case #8, Box #4 Kevin Plawecki Blue /500 Paul Sewald Blue /500 Keon Barnum Orange /250 Kyle Zimmer Blue Refractor /250 James Ramsey Refractor Auto Grade: C Comments: Blue refractor auto coming? Case #8, Box #5 Taylor Ard Blue /500 Brett Wiley Blue /500 Alex Yarbrough Orange /250 Austin Aune Gold Refractor /50 Max Fried Perfect Game 109/235 Gavin Cecchini Gold Refractor Auto /50 Grade: A+ Comments: Wow – I was right about the colored auto coming, but I wasn’t expecting a gold. Especially not with a Perfect Game auto included. And another gold prospect. Great box.

Case #8, Box #7 Yasmani Grandal Blue /500 Steven Golden Blue /500 Peter O’Brien Orange /250 Leonys Martin Rookie Refractor /300 Tyrone Taylor Auto Brian Johnson Auto Grade: C Comments: Weird collation, with no blue refractor and two autos. RE: 2012 Bowman Draft 10 case break and contest thread [CONTESTS CLOSED] - pyweed - 12-08-2012 Case #8, Box #8 Bruce Maxwell Blue /500 Mike Mudron Blue /500 Bryan Haar Orange /250 Mike Zunino Blue Refractor /250 Stephen Pryor Orange Refractor /25 Anthony Rendon Best Die Cut Refractor /99 Mitch Nay Refractor Auto Grade: A- Comments: It was nice to see an orange refractor again. Case #8, Box #9 Steve Bean Blue /500 Derek Norris Blue /500 Jesmuel Valentin Orange /250 Joseph Almaraz Blue Refractor /250 Jake Odorizzi Futures Game Jersey /199 Richie Shaffer Auto Redemption Grade: C+ Comments: I may get a chance to break into case #9 tonight. Looking for a blue auto before I get there, though. Case #8, Box #10 Derrick Bleeker Blue /500 Caleb Frare Blue /500 Will Middlebrooks Orange /250 Devin Mesoraco Rookie Refractor /300 Jesmuel Valentin Blue Refractor /250 Richie Shaffer Refractor Auto Redemption Grade: B Comments: Shaffer is selling quite well. Case #8, Box #11 Hasashi Iwakuma Blue /500 Jorge Fernandez Blue /500 William Carmona Orange /250 Brett Wiley Blue Refractor /250 Jose Quintana Blue Refractor /250 Billy Hamilton Futures Game Jumbo Patch /25 Lucas Sims Auto Grade: A+ Comments: One sweet looking gigantic patch. It’s not three color, like the other one sold online, but still a great pull, probably the case hit. I still think I have a shot at a numbered auto in the final box. RE: 2012 Bowman Draft 10 case break and contest thread [CONTESTS CLOSED] - pyweed - 12-08-2012 Case #8, Box #12 Wily Peralta Blue /500 Michael Vaughn Blue /500 Joel Licon Blue Refractor /250 Austin Maddox Red Refractor /5 Spencer Edwards Cyan Plate /1 Miles Head Best Atomic Die Cut /25 Bruce Maxwell Blue Refractor Auto /150 Grade: A Comments: Holy balls, I really underestimated all the stuff still hanging around in this case. I was right about the blue auto, but a red refractor, a plate, and a low numbered Best insert? None are huge pulls individually, but it was sure surprising to see it all come out of the same box. Another great ending to a case; I’d better not change my clothes while I’m this lucky. Case #8 Summary Grade: B Comments: Case #1 is still my best overall, but I feel like I’m hitting solid singles with almost every case. This one featured a gold auto, a blue auto, a Shaffer refractor auto redemption, a Perfect Game auto, a jumbo patch of Billy Hamilton, and a prospect red refractor. I think I’ll go watch the end of the Illinois-Gonzaga game, but I’ll probably crack that 9th case tonight.

Case #9, Box #2 Derek Self Blue /500 Hudson Randall Blue /500 Hatt Hague Orange /250 Eric Wood Gold Refractor /50 Tyler Naquin Orange Refractor Auto /25 Grade: A+ Comments: I think this is probably my 5th best pull of the break, and it’s quite possible I won’t see anything this nice in my remaining 22 boxes. This is a good place to stop for the night. I should be able to finish up the break Sunday.
