Even though I blew $80 more on these 4 boxes than I did on Bowman, ($200 vs. $120) I'm about 10X happier with Stars & Stripes. That being said, I'd have been better off spending $320 and buying a 1960 Topps graded Mickey Mantle card! Smile
But seriously, S&S is a great product ... Even better if it was about a $40 price point.
Compare $150 for (my first 3) 3 boxes of S&S vs. $120 for 1 jumbo Bowman.
Both you'd get 3 autos. Both about an equal chance at picking up Bryant and Rodon autos.
S&S my autos were all prospects relic/sticker-autos numbered /49 or less
Bowman my autos were base chrome on-card prospects

I pulled 9 relics from S&S all are numbered /299 or less
I pulled 6 minis from bowman, only one numbered /250

6 crusade cards from S&S
4 top prospects from Bowman

6 misc serial numbered foil cards from S&S
1 serial numbered purple ice /50 from Bowman.

Bowman had 1 Abreu base card, no Bryant or Rodon.
S&S had Rodon, Refsynder & Bryant base & foil cards.

Clear winner, IMO ...... Stars & Stripes !

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.
