Finally Found Some 2020 Bowman
Went on my weekly grocery run to Target this morning. Still no new cards of any kind - minus the new repacks - and they didn't have the final item on my list. Today was my Friday off (thanks, summer schedule), so I decided to make a Walmart run to get my final item. I thought about going to the one 10 miles away to see if there was any Bowman or maybe Mosaic basketball, since the one 1 mile away hasn't had anything since January. I decided I didn't need cards and I go to that one. On a whim I decided to check and the lane they'll eventually move to (filled with clearance now) had 5 blasters and 4 value packs ... I left no man behind.
Now for the goods.
Paper rookies: 3 each, minus Aquino (only 2)
Paper autos
Paper parallels
Chrome parallels
Notable inserts
Value Pack #1
Blaster #4
Blaster #5
And the incredible Blaster #3 ... probably my best blaster ever.
I'll call this a successful day at "the office."

All I can say is ...WOW!
Great blasters, buddy!
Too bad you don’t have any Toploaders for those great pulls !

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

Oh, but I do
I moved my lower valued Keplers and Trouts - under $5 - from toploaders to semi-rigids, which are much easier to come by.

Thanks. That was a lot of fun to break.
After only being able to find Donruss and Heritage - good, but fairly boring products to break - this was a blast. I almost forgot for a while that I do this for fun. This was a good reminder of that.

Positive comments suck!

Nicely done. Hopefully these guys can start compiling some MLB stats.
