RE: 2012 Bowman Platinum 5 case break and contest thread [CONTEST #2 OPEN]
Case #2, Box #12
Notable colored base:
Jeremy Hellickson gold
Alex Rodriguez gold
Dustin Pedroia gold
Andrew McCutchen ruby
Notable prospect parallels:
Sebastian Valle refractor
Notable die-cut:
Nelson Cruz
Michael Morse
Notable Top Prospects:
Jordan Swagerty
Trevor May
Trevor Bauer
Jameson Taillon Green Refractor /399
Starling Marte Green Refractor /399
Jed Gyorko Gold Refractor /50
Tyler Bortnick Prospect Auto
Guillermo Pimentel Prospect Auto
Jean Segura Jumbo Auto Relic
Grade: B
Comments: Segura now with the Brewers.
Case #2 Summary
Grade: A+
Comments: It would have been a pretty great case with just the Hager atomic refractor, the Cespedes gold auto, and the Trout blue auto relic, but obviously the big hit was the gold Harper auto relic with the insane patch. Seven similar cards are currently up on eBay, and the one scheduled to end tomorrow is currently at $668. It will be really hard to beat that pull in the next three cases, but I’m up for the challenge! Incidentally, I’d grade this case an A+ even at current case prices. I have a poker tournament at 1PM. If I bust out early (most likely scenario) I’ll be able to start busting the third case in the early evening. If I get lucky I won’t be busting until Sunday. So get your contest entries submitted just in case.
