According to my Blogger home page, this is my 3,300th post here at Nachos Grande.
Of those 3,300, I'd probably be hard-pressed to find 33 that are actually worth reading. Oh well. Quantity counts for something, right?
I can tell you one thing - if you read all 3300 posts of mine, you won't learn much about Bowman because I still don't understand the set. Today's pack for the ongoing Pack Wars is a 2011 Bowman Draft Picks and Prospects pack (I think)?
There's virtually no chance this pack wins, am I right?
Pack Wars II - Pack 18:
2011 Bowman DP&P (7 cards):
33. Cody Eppley - Rangers
It's hard to assign points to guys that haven't made it to the big leagues (or at least they haven't made it to the best of my knowledge). I don't understand Bowman collectors. +0
98. Adam Wilk - Tigers
I can assure you that the cards from this pack are up for trade. +0
77. Matt Young - Braves (chrome)
The pack wrapper says that you get two chrome cards per pack. Isn't there a Bowman Chrome set out there? I don't get Bowman. +2 for the shiny.
BDPP64. Brandon Culbreth - Astros (purple refractor)
Ok, even I can admit that this card is nice looking. I think all Bowman should be refractors with colored borders. Then maybe I'd buy the set (probably not, but you never know). +3 for the purple.
BDPP74. Kyle Kubitza - Braves
This is a gold bordered, thick card. I thought it was a pack filler at first...but apparently it's a parallel set? I dunno, I don't get Bowman. -2 because thick stupid cards aren't worth it.
BDPP21. Harold Riggins - Rockies
Uhm. Yeah. +0
BDPP47. Sean Buckley - Reds
I've never heard of Buckley (shocker I know). At least he's a Red (for now). +1 for that.
Pack total: 4 points
Four points seems about right for that pack. At least the cards were new to me (unlike the plethora of 2011 Topps packs).
