Hey everybody, I'm a kind of numbers/sports nerd and just started collecting baseball cards. So I opened some 2012 bowman chrome packs (9) and two boxes (Bowman 2009 and 2011) with very limited success.
I also noticed some of the packages were suspiciously easy to open. I bought it off Amazon. Like the top was stuck together and opened like butter. Not trying to suggest too much but was curious if resealing is a huge threat these days, particularly online.
It happened to me recently in buying basketball cards.
Enough of my boring talk, here's what I got. Pretty limited success

2009 Bowman (the same box)
Chris Young Orange Border 67/250
Cole Hamels Blue Border 496/500
Logan Morrison Chrome Auto
Phillippe Aumont Xfractor 254/299
Ted Lilly Blue Border 232/500
Mike Trout Chrome Auto

2011 Bowman
Carlos Perez Chrome Auto
Jurickson Profar Blue Border 492/500
Allen Webster Refractor 40/799
Joey Votto Blue Border 367/500

Pretty slim pickings in the 2011 Bowman. I don't even know of these guys beyond Votto and Hamels.

It's weird, the attached files rarely work on Beckett, usually you have to upload it to a photo site like http://photobucket.com or http://tinypic.com and paste the IMG or HTML link here for most people to see it.

Nice Trout and Logan Morrison! The Trout is the one you should either sell or keep. He is one of the best players on the Angels!

actually i think u did pretty well hitting trout and lo mo autos. Be cautious buying boxes on the bay or single packs. welcome to the hobby...its very addictive and money draining lol

Thanks for the kind words, I'm grateful everyone is so nice. I'll move these if anyone's interested.

I'm interested in the Votto!

Yeah with Bowman they focus mainly on the up and coming prospects and it's not rare for a guy to have several cards before his actual real rookie card is released. So a lot of the names unless you are a baseball nerd you've probably never heard of and never will. Out of the 110 or so prospect cards they do every year a half dozen or so might end up being decent major leaguers and even then it might be several years after the card is released before they get the call up and the rest are just minor league fodder.
