Double bang! 2 bowman 1 GQ (update: more bowman, more hits .. Streaky, is that you?)
Picked up 2 hanger 3-packs of Bowman, 1 Gypsy.
First time in my life, got 2 autos (not chrome) from one Bowman hanger. Nothing in the other, and a relic from GQ. Nobody spectacular (no Bryant, Trout, Abreu) but I'll take it
Arenado relic
Francisco Mejia paper auto
Taylor Featherston silver paper auto /499
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.

Two in one is rare indeed. I had 3 stuck together, all the same person, once. It is a good feeling. Congrats

Thanks, but Featherston is not FT at the moment, but I'll keep you in mind if/when it is.

i bought 1 blaster of bowman and 2 of gq both were busts, think i'm done with blasters for now. Maybe i'll try a hangar pack at some point.
Last year I had my best ever retail hit from a hangar pack of bowman with a orange wave refactor auto that i sold for about 400 on ebay
