Prices moved up to $159.95 for the 24 pack 12 card retail boxes and now none are available any longer. Hobby pushing $250+ and very limited. Walmart sold out of blaster's already online.
This must really be the greatest product ever

I thought price gouging during a crisis was illegal?!

RE: Crazy PRICES!!
I bought exactly one blaster of Bowman last year and pulled a Casey Mize auto for my Tigers PC, so I quit while I was ahead.
It's a fun rip for sure, but most of the money in the Bowman line is in the Chrome prospect autos, and those are very difficult to pull out of retail.
I don't get it.

Maybe the Russians saturated the paper with illegal drugs before Topps printed.
I had pre-ordered 2020 Bowman Sterling back in March for $200 per box from Steel City. Now they are $225 and does not release until August.

C'mon Terry we all know it had to be the Chinese!
At least it seems to be spreading similar to a virus. I chased a 2001 Donruss Rookie Reprint Auto Gwynn last night ungraded that closed at over $200 Everything I see lately is going a lot higher then a year ago. And if you think that's crazy buy a decent steak for the grill!

Now the price has risen to $300. Did someone find out whose autograph will be included, or just greed?!
Also, I see that people are putting 2020 Bowman hobby boxes out there for prices higher than Dave & Adams. Yeah, right...those will sell fast. Haha.
