You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
The LCS had a box on discount for $50 so I bit even though I have been far more into basketball of late.

Auto- Felipe Rivero (anyone know anything about this kid?)
Gold Refractor- Jose Bautista
Blue Refractor- Jason Heyward
Purple Refractor- Hisashi Iwakuma
Regular refractors- BJ Upton, A-Rod, Adam Lind, Adam Wainwright and Rob Rasmussen
All Star Futures Game- Nick Castellanos, Nolan Arenado
Franchise All stars- David Wright & Zack Wheeler
Legends in the Making- Pujols

Since I have been out of baseball for a few months I am not sure how I did. I also do not have the OPG so I cannot go by prices right now.

In people's opinions, how did I do here?
Everything is available FT. Looking primarily for basketball but for baseball I Collect Matt Moore and Jesus Montero.
Not too bad, my friend. Not the greatest box I have seen but I would say you at least broke even!
You hit a pretty good box.
not sure about the Rivero kid. i hope he's good as i pulled a gold auto for him and a blue and purple refractor lol.

You have the makings of an outstanding Rivero PC.
Felipe Rivero is a pretty decent prospect for the Rays (from what I've read). They have a pretty good farm system and, according to the 2013 rankings, he's in their top 20.

Here's an article from last summer about him:

Although his auto doesn't book very high, I'd say you got a pretty good deal on your box and did well overall.
...and he's a lefty. that never hurts *representing*
Please check me for the heyward
when you get a chance
The Bautista and Heyward refractors are solid hits. I always like to hold on to Bowman Chrome autos just because you never know if the guy will break out in a few years. If you can be patient, hold onto it, just in case.
