After watching thread after thread posted of successful 2015 Bowman retail vs. hobby, I had decided that my 2015 retail wax would stick to Bowman (which overall has been pretty successful - Orange Wave Bryant, Addi Russell Ref, lots of base autos & color).
My curiosity for this year's Prizm got the best of me today, however, and against my steadfast plan I took home a Blaster of Prizm from a Target run. I will say that for a 30 card box this was a very fun (fast) break, as most have said. It turned into an great decision by the second to last pack!
Highlights:
Red Prizms - Adam Jones, Goldschmidt, R. Howard, Dilson Herrera RC
Base Prizms - Wainwright, Alexei Ramirez, Junior Lake Camo #/199
USA Prizm - Kolten Wong
Fireworks - Griffey Jr.
Then there was this guy:
Luke Gregerson - Signature Prizms Gold Pulsar 9/10!
This is one of my best pulls personally in terms of odds, being a low-numbered auto. Based on the circumstances and his awesome looking sig, this almost has to become a PC addition... still haven't decided.
The Donruss hanger/jumbo pack was half the price of the Bowman hanger and I love the look of these cards. It was a nice change of pace, for sure.
Highlights:
Random inserts of Puig, Piazza, Miggy, and Kluber
Donruss Studio - Michael Taylor
"The Rookies" - Joc Pederson
Finally, the Bowman hanger was the first swing-and-miss I've had this year with their retail product in terms of color. Must be time to move on for me...
Highlights:
Base Prospects: Correa, Urias, Rodon
Base Chrome: Toussant
Farm's Finest - Max Fried
Scouts 100 - Aaron Sanchez (#66)
