finally gave in...bought the box of 08 Bowman Chrome at my Walmartt

finally gave in...bought the box of 08 Bowman Chrome at my Walmartt
This has been sitting at my walmart for 49.99 for the past few months. Thought the price was high considering the guys wouldnt be prospects anymore. The only positive thing I could think of was that the autos of stars would be worth money now, since it's been a few years and they'd no longer be just prospects. Go figure, this box was probably worth more in 08. I definitely broke the odds for one box, just wish it was some bigger names lol

Just getting the red refractor was a great hit. They usually go for a good amount online. I am not sure if it pays for the box but still not too shabby.

Hmmmmm, there's a box of the same sitting at my Walmart. Wonder if I should give it a try. You did pretty well. Never heard of Marrero, nor Lehmann, but you got some good stuff ... Jeter, Cabrerra, etc.

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.

Man i loved that years bowman chrome. I pulled 2 superfractors from it and some nice prospects who are playing everyday when it came out. Congrats on the red refractor!

last month i hit up all the local walmarts within about 10miles and bought the old hobby boxes they had
didnt get much hit wise, but opening old boxes of bowman is kinda fun because the prospects already passed the make or break point.

Lehmann is the Twins best defensive catcher in the minors. However his bat needs improvement. I pulled his Blue Ref Auto from Walmart a while back in a box. He looks like he may be a minor league lifer.
