Even more buyback/restamped cards
This time, Bowman has 70th anniversary buyback/restamps as a 'hit' in 2017 ... uggh! Bought 2 Blasters ... 2 buybacks
On the bright side, I got a couple of hits that I'll list in the box break section later.

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.

RE: Even more buyback/restamped cards
I don't like them saying "70th" anniversary when the brand didn't exist for half of those years.
If I got married 70 years ago, got divorced five years later, then got back together with my wife 35 years after that, it really only counts as 35 years... right?
But that's Bowman. 70 years isn't 70 years... and the prospects photoshopped in big league unis aren't big league players
Maybe the '70 years' stamp is a photoshopped '35 year' stamp!
Bowman: home of the pre-rookie card.

RE: Even more buyback/restamped cards
I am ok with them rebranding/stamping the cards..BUT...I wish they would checklist them...include them in ORG so I can trade them...AND....I wish they did replace actual hits or team cards..common or not..
Now, I just throw them into trades for people I know are team collectors...

RE: Even more buyback/restamped cards
I am not a big fan of the 70th Anniversary Bowman cards, I am not even sure why I don't like them I just don't.
I focus my PC on Ken Griffey Jr but I also collect Jay Buhner, Steve Largent and Ryan Bader. Secondary collection: Seattle teams & Univ. of Arizona

RE: Even more buyback/restamped cards
Bought two 3-pack hangers today and got a buyback in each one ... 2005 Dan Johnson and 1990 Steve Carter.
Honestly, I'd rather get another base card than one of these. There's zero value to them - especially when they're new(ish) ones.
If they wanted to buy some old, low-grade ones, stamp them and make them actual "hits," I'd be on board with that. Combine those with my 1987 Rick Sutcliffe buyback from Topps and it's safe to say the nostalgia/novelty has worn off.
