I guess I had that one coming.
Thank you for having a great sense of humor and not hating me for my warped mind! If I ever 'toss up' an easy straight-line to you, I now expect you to knock it out of the park!
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.

Does everyone get a Jamie Westbrook auto? I've got three of his base autos now. What the F.. Bowman how many autos did you have that guy sign to put in the retail blasters.

Congrats
If I could be guaranteed getting 5 out of 5 hits from retail, I'd never buy a hobby box again. But that streak is insane. I'm trying hard to not return to target.

RE: This will probably jinx my Bowman lucky streak (retail version) but not yet 6 for 6
I'm 6 for 6 .... Technically 7 for 7, but I'll let YOU decide ....
Okay, went out to the Target by my girls' school .... Looking for a blaster, but they only had hanger packs. I was going to leave, not to jinx myself since I was looking for blasters, but turned back and grabbed two hangers ( figure 2 hangers =1 blaster, right?) ... My instinct was right ... Another 2 hits, although a duplicate auto ... not a great auto ... But an auto, none the less and a silver ice Abreu (real nice BV!!!!)
The E-Jag purple chrome /199 just an added bonus
So, even though the silver ice Abreu and the Kingham auto were from 2 different hangers, I'm considering them from 1 purchase and = to one blaster. So luckily, the streak continues ... Whether its "6 for 6" or "7 for 7" I've got a long way to go to beat Joe D's 56
Any Pirates Fan that needs a Kingham auto?

I've never had a retail lucky streak that lasted this long. I'm amazed. ... also, spending more money that I thought I should be spending, but I have to see how long I can ride this thing out.
Not sure if the lucky streak will pass into other product lines or it's a Bowman Exclusive streak. I'll let you know.

Thanks!
I'd probably trade it for a Wooden Frank Robinson mini if you know of any available
but seriously, not sure what I'm doing with Abreu yet.
