Awesome stuff DrM......and yes it's good karma coming back your way! So keep those "phun packs" coming...LOL JK. Congrats on the Abru, myself, I love the white ice cards.
I think Bowman (not Bowman Chrome) retail packs a more quantity ratio of auto hits than does hobby, except for in Texas for some reason.
Keep it going...only 49 more to go to tie the record!!!!!

Agreed on all counts! Silver (white) ice cards are sharp! .... And it must be the Phun Pack Karma
I might go today and see if I can extend the streak! Wish me luck!

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.

RE: This will probably jinx my Lucky Bowman Streak / LBS: you'll be missed
I'm sad to say that at 9:40 am EST The Lucky Bowman Streak died!
I bought what was to be a Rentzington-like, streak-breaker blaster of Bowman!
NOTICE:
The Lucky Bowman Streak will be interred at The Bowman Memorial Gardens, with services preceding. A closed casket was requested by the Topps Family.
The Lucky Bowman Streak ( herein to referred as 'The Streak') was cut down in his prime. As the saying goes, only the good die young, and The Streak was nothing, if not Good. Beloved by all, envied by others, hated by some. ... Say what you will, but The Streak, in his short time on earth touched the lives of many. The Streak will be missed.
Instead of flowers, the bereaved requests cards.

Thanks for your kind words and optimism, but finding another Lucky Streak as good and as kind as Bowman Lucky Streak, lets just say the odds are against me.
