jxg is correct. I'm not really a trader because of my very narrow focus of "wants." It's almost always more efficient for me to cash in whatever cards I don't keep. I usually decide after the break what sets I want to build, based on the aesthetics, how close I am, etc., and then I list the rest of eBay. However, I just sent a few thousand cards to checkoutmycards.com and intend to start selling there more often. I don't know if I'll try that with 11 Chrome, but I might. The highest-end cards usually end up in my PC.
Sorry -- I usually mention this in my thread-opening post, so people don't waste too much time hounding me for a specific player.

I give the case a B. If the superfractor was a good player, it would have been a great case.
Thanks for the input, nj. I agree with you about the die cut; really clever of them to break out of the rectangles with this set. In fact, why not multiple different shapes instead of just background enhancements? I know -- cost considerations. But it shouldn't be too expensive for them to serial number some of the parallels.
Incidentally, I haven't seen any parallels yet of the Bowman's Best Prospects. Seems like some numbered parallels of these would also be nice.

Thanks for the input, but too bad your case didn't do better. No Harper?
I certainly don't expect another super, but I am kind of counting on at least one Harper auto.
