2 hobby boxes of 2012 Bowman Chrome
Recently bought 2 boxes from Atl Sportscards which arrived today. Overall I did much better than I though I would've done so I was pretty pleased about that. Seeing some boxes from other breaks had me worried I'd end up with 2 duds. Anyways... Here are my highlights and sorry for no scans/photos.
Base:
Cespedes
Jorge Soler x2
Machado PC
Refractors:
Posey PC
Drew Smyly
Granden Goetzman PC
Jorge Soler
Blue Ref. Posey PC
Blue Ref. Arencibia PC
Purple Ref. Will Lamb
Gold Ref. Brandon Phillips
Hits:
Bobby Crocker
Jake Marisnick
and...
Bowman Chrome Rookie AU Redemption of Yu Darvish! A parallel would have been super awesome but this still was pretty sweet and should make for some nice trade bait. Thanks for looking!

Yea, it definitly saved it for me. The 1st box I opened yielded only the Marisnick. Then a few packs in on the next box the Darvish showed itself and later I hit the Crocker. Kinda weird though as usually I've seen parallel hits as the extra hit so to hit 2 regular autos seemed kinda weird. Was lucky it seems that both boxes had a bit of color as well. I checked, there is some stuff I'd be interested in but I'll probably holdoff till pricing comes out and there is another trader I will give first shot to if they're interested. Thanks for your interest and I'll keep you in mind.

Nice Break! This year it seems you get two auto's in at least 3 box's of a case. Check out Pyweed's post for possible hits he opened 5 cases!

Nice pull on the Darvish, despite it being a redemption.

Yea, his case break was mainly what I was referencing. All his boxes that had an extra auto it seemed came where the extra hit was a parallel. One day I will open that many cases! lol... That would be sweet and a heck of a lot of fun.

I know. I've never opened a case either. But it does look like fun.
