Which case to preorder?
I have been contemplating About buying my first case of baseball, and pre-ordering it. I have narrowed it down to two choices 2012 bowman chrome, and 2012 bowman Draft Picks & Prospects. I was wondering what you guys think is the better product?? I know both are normally really good, but not enough to know which is better... Also if I get enough should I preorder both? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: Which case to preorder?
depends on what you want to collect.
Chrome will have all your top veterans and rookies like Harper, Darvish, Cespedes. Where as Draft Picks and Prospects is just that top prospects and guys that were drafted back in June.
Personally if it were me and I could afford to do so I'd do 1 of each and keep the Draft Picks one sealed and see if anybody pans out down the road then you can throw it on ebay offering people a chance at pulling a first card of a hot guy. Sealed boxes like that tend to do better than breaking it open and selling just the 1 or 2 cards of the guy(s) that panned out.

I would maybe check out the auto checklists on both sell sheets and see if one is better
I haven't done any research on either product this year but over the last few years it seems like the consensus prefers BDPP over BC
