MY FIRST RAINBOW EVER! 2017 Bowman Chrome Max Fried
Hi guys, just thought I'd share my first full rainbow of one of my favorite young players, Max Fried, in my favorite set of the year. The cards are really nice, and once I picked up the SuperFractor, decided to go for the whole thing. Not necessarily the biggest name, but given the two 1 of 1's, I'm still quite proud of it!

Congrats! Did you buy or pull the super? I'm working on my own right now and interested on how you acquired the super. Great set and he has potential, Congratulations again!

Wow, congrats! That's something to be proud of for sure!
I'm always open to trading.  My wants are varied (multiple sets from 1980 to now and some misc. players) and all my wants are marked.  Open offers welcome!

Thank you!! I won the SuperFractor in an auction, and happened to find the Black Shimmer on a BIN a few weeks later. So definitely got lucky that they'd both been pulled and put up for sale. The hardest one to find, though, was the Red Refractor #/5.

Thanks again for the kind words, and good luck in your search!

Yep, nailing down the Superfractor is definitely a good strategy to putting a rainbow together.
Good Job and congrats on your success.

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.

Wow that's really cool! Do you plan on keeping it or selling if Fried has a good year?

Very cool. Never tried. Like you said, you never know if the 1/1 has even been pulled from a pack yet and if so, is it already in hand of a player collector. I've contemplated it by looking for a 1/1 first and going from there but never pulled the trigger.
