NOW WITH SCAN: Orange You Glad I Picked This Bowman Blaster?
Had a few minutes to kill before work this morning so I picked up a couple of 2015 Bowman blasters.
The third or fourth pack was somewhat thicker than the others, and I didn't know what to expect because base Bowman is not really known for jersey/mem cards.
Turns out there were five "orange wave" refractors in the middle of the pack, in addition to the two regular Chrome cards.
The third of the five orange refractors ...

I was pretty stoked, by far my best Bryant pull.
Apparently they are retail exclusive (?), though I couldn't find any odds listed anywhere on the pack.

Eventually retail comes through for you, RJ! Congrats. Post a pic, when you get the opportunity.

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.

The other decent names of the 5 were Kyle Zimmer and Reese McGuire, can't recall the other two at the moment.

Thanks, I was pretty excited! Also pulled a base Chrome card of Rangers catcher Joe Jackson ... said on the back he's a distant relative of Shoeless Joe and wore his 1917 WS championship ring to his contract signing.
I didn't know they made WS rings back then, but that's what it said.
