BGBB1: Bowman

BLOG GROUP BOX BREAK #1

BOX ONE: 2007 BOWMAN

 Date Busted 06 February 2013
(Break video on USTREAM) 
(Scans)

NOTE: Bowman is not my most favorite of products this modern version of all rookies and prospects used to confuse the heck out of me, but it is a very popular product that is why I chose to open it. For the video it looks like I rambled on a bit much and I think the end of the video cut off near the last few packs (or maybe not). Not sure of exact spot so the pack-by-pack commentary will have the full details of the pulls. Overall it was pretty good, we did get the 1 Prospects Autograph in pack one. Things looked a little brighter as I was going through cataloging for the color commentary. At first I thought the box was a dud, but when I started documenting what we had gotten I noticed the Auto was in pack one and we got not only the Dice K Rookie but the gold parallel of it.
