I'm back with another forgotten pack that was recently rediscovered thanks to my emphasis on cleaning up and organizing my sprawling card collection.
Today's forgotten pack is another one from 2011 - my one and only Bowman Chrome pack that I opened!
You only get four cards in the pack - so they better be worth it.
40. Brett Anderson - Athletics
Not the best start - I could really use a few Athletics collectors to trade with, I seem to pull more A's cards that I possibly can figure out what to do with.
BCP137. Roman Mendez - Rangers
BCP142. Jon Pettibone - Phillies
First, why did I get one base card and two of the white Bowman First Chrome card inserts? Or, are these not inserts? I have no idea. Bowman confuses me. Second, what happened to all the Phillies collectors? A few years ago, I couldn't keep a supply of Phillies cards to save myself...now, I don't think I've had anyone specifically request Phillies cards in about a year, maybe more. Where'd you go Phillie phanatics?
The final card in the pack:
80. Drew Stubbs - Orange Refractor #04/25
Woo! The orange refractors are seeded 1:198 packs so that makes this card quite rare to begin with. Even better, it's a rare card of a Cincinnati Red - which makes it an instant keeper! If I didn't know better, I'd say that Bowman was trying to convince me to collect their strange, confusing line-up of cards. I happen to love the Stubbs but not enough to get suckered into buying more Bowman. Even so, a great card - surprisingly good enough to make the four card pack totally worthwhile!
Agh I want the Drew Stubbs. Pleaseeeeeeeeee trade it too me.
