'14 Bowman Chrome Hobby or Jumbo? - jaustin7 - 09-06-2014
The Jumbo box will have 5 autos and each hobby 2 autos. The Jumbo box 12 packs w/ 13 cards each. The Hobby box 18 packs with 4 cards per pack. I've never bought boxes of this product before so which would you recommend, 1 Jumbo or 2 Hobby? Your opinions? Thanks.

it depends on the prices of the boxes

Hobby is what I would buy.

I usually like Hobby, as krn001 suggests; but it does depend on the prices, as jaustin7 notes.

I pre-ordered two hobbies last month. Had I seen the jumbo, I probably would have still purchased the 2 hobbies as opposed to 1 jumbo. That's just me though. I do agree that price is a factor in accordance with what you get.

Best answer: buy neither. Product looks worse than topps chrome.

What year/cards are you asking about. I happened to go back to Blowout just to see what the 2010 Bowman boxes were listed as. I recalled Jumbo HTA & maybe it was blaster? Upon looking, I see they have a new "fat pack" box that wasn't on their site until now. In fact, all the 2010 Bowman was out of stock a few years ago. Are these fat pack boxes something new? Boxed at Topps or is this a repackaged box?

Mike7149, would you elaborate on "Best answer: buy neither. Product looks worse than topps chrome. "
I would like to hear why. Thanks.

The Bowman Chrome release every year is easily the worst of the Bowman releases. Save for Topps secretly putting the 2013 Kris Bryant Chrome parallel autos in here the checklist is shaping up to hot garbage. Also, with the increased parallel sets this year production looks to be higher, making pulling anything of high value just that much higher. If you want Bowman this year wait for Draft to come out.

Kinda agree with Mike7149, they do tend to flood the product with dud autos and a million different colored refractors. It does make it much harder to pull the good stuff.
But somebody has to pull good stuff, right?
I would also say it depends on price. If 2 hobby are more than the jumbo go jumbo, if equal, try 2 hobby. IMO
