Topps series 2 and Bowman - uc7bearcat - 06-17-2014 First off I think Topps deserves a big thumbs up for the quality of their retail product. I remember a few years ago when retail was just a waste of money. Now it seems there is quite a bit of good stuff retail. Anyway I hit a Target last night and let my wife pick me a $9.99 box of Topps 2 and I hit the Tanaka RC and a Votto relic. So today I hit a different Target after work and grab the last Bowman blaster and another 9.99 box of Topps 2. I hit an auto in the blaster and a Matt Adams jumbo relic in the Topps pack!! Not bad even though I don't like the Cardinals. All will be for trade once I get them loaded. RE: Topps series 2 and Bowman - flcardinals29528 - 06-17-2014 How about you let me pull the Cardinals stuff and I'll let you pull all the Reds?! I ALWAYS pull Reds garbage! Lol It's hard to get rid of! RE: Topps series 2 and Bowman - mgruber2 - 06-18-2014 Some good luck there. Congrats. RE: Topps series 2 and Bowman - Phillies_Joe - 06-18-2014 Congrats on the hits, not an overall fan of reclics but the 2014 flagship design really makes them look great esp. the jumbos. Agree, lots of good stuff in retail this year, thanks for sharing. RE: Topps series 2 and Bowman - alstott9adams - 06-24-2014 Nice auto RE: Topps series 2 and Bowman - DrMitchJ - 06-27-2014 I've bought very little series 2 retail this year (so far ) but hit a Starlin Castro, and Ivan Rodriguez relic ... which was cool! Bowman was better than ever this year. My retail hits were significantly better than my case hits. For a short time (about a week) I was hitting something from bowman on a near daily basis. I think that Topps has seen the future and they're planting retail seeds now to cover themselves later. It's gotta be tough for local shops to compete with online stores and eBay. Target and Walmart will survive no matter what.
