2021 Bowman Baseball Heads Up

If anyone is interested, Target online has plenty of 2021 Bowman Baseball Mega Boxes for $29.99. They’ve been dropping them every Friday the past 3 weeks online around 7:30 AM. Best part is they have a 6 box limit and you must create or have a Target account and verify. Feels great to buy a few boxes at normal pricing and stick it to the socks and sandals flippers and card shops screwing collectors over. On EBay I saw $50-$85 for just one mega box. Steel City isn’t any better. They actually have the audacity to put “On Sale” $59.96 down from $74.95.

thank you. hard not to grab these just to have something for the lil guy to rip. first retail purchase from an actual retailer since ‘18, i think.

(scroll down for the tweet video w sound)
there is so much stuff to laugh at if you really watch it a couple of times. from the two synchronized cart pushers in the 1 & 2 spot that know not to run & speed walk, the brief glimpse of a guy w crutches, the blue flops w socks, the shelf swipes, the blocks, the mad grabs to throw anything in the cart, the guys that were waiting for god knows how long only to get absolutely nothing and prolly a whole host of other things i havent picked up on.
You’re more than welcome Blurry. I’m glad to hear that. Ironically, I did the same for my daughter who absolutely loves baseball and baseball card collecting. Her birthday’s coming up in July and she gave me a list of boxes she be interested in for gifts. Funny part is she loves my mid 1980’s cards from when I was a kid more than modern cards. ‘87 Topps was first on her list lol.
Only other retailer that I’ve purchased from recently was Kroger of all places via their app. They have 2021 Topps and Heritage for fair prices and free shipping.
LMAO. Yes, those would be the guys in the video you posted. They should be embarrassed. If they have kids, I really hope they weren’t there to see how idiotic they acted.
BTW, really enjoy reading your posts on the forum. Been a lurker for a while and just recently started posting last winter.
Damn you autocorrect. Damn you!

I watched the video serval times too and find something new to laugh at each time. Wonder if the synchronized cart pushers were part of the same team. Running the old screen play. “Okay, I’m gonna screen left and you role right with your cart. Then we both pivot and the perfect box out so we get all the cards! And remember Ned, don’t lift your pivot foot or one of these guys might get through!”

we both know the probability of those guys having any kids is slim to none! 😉
and youre a lucky man. ive tried to get the lil one into 80s wax. zero appeal. but cant knock it. i was the same back then myself. i’d rather rip packs & collect guys i could watch play too. he’ll get there one day though!
and july 12th by chance? thats my lil guys bday.
Unfortunately the way society is today, I’m willing to wager they all have multiple kids. I’m thinking starting a petition to get “common sense” changed to “rare sense” because, well it’s just not common in today’s society.
I was shocked when my daughter said she likes 80’s wax better. She loves modern too but 80’s wax is her jam lol. Our kids are pretty damn lucky w the possible future stars they have today to watch and collect. Trout, Acuna, Vlad, Tatis, Soto, Ohtani, etc. They're going to have some great memories when they become as old as us.
Her bday is July 2nd. No joke lol. She was suppose to be a 4th of July baby. We were lucky because her mother’s parent’s neighbor was her doctor and in charge of the newborn department at the hospital she was born at so he moved it up 2 days for us so we could get out and enjoy the 4th of July with her.

No kidding guys...if I would have had a phone you could have seen what I seen. A guy came in Walmart, cut through the line towards sportscards... proceeded to wipe all the shelf with arm in buggy and got decked!!! Lol, I knew I've seen everything in life now. The pandemic I believe ,has turned the brain to mush for some people lol.
Not sure where the "mega" designation comes from for these boxes. Mega Box ? Mega my Buttbox ! hee hee haha...

I am happy to see the quality control of Bowman looks top notch. Topps should be ashamed of their 2021 Heritage product, the centering is awful.
Successful card BST transactions with cbcnow, brogurt, gstarling, Bravesfan 007, and rajah 424.
2021 Topps Series 1 got roasted by quite a few people for their centering as well.

LOL! First time in my life I actually wish someone was just standing there with their cellphone out recording it. It’s like just when you think you’ve seen or heard it all, the morons of the world reply with “hold my beer” and one up the previous moron. Makes me think Darwin was on to something.

Sgt, you’re very welcome my friend. Glad you were able to snag a few boxes and enjoy them. I’ll post some photos off the 3 boxes I opened. Noticed you scored 2 autos. I didn’t get a single one lol. Oh well. Had to laugh about the “mega” comment you made. Reminded me of the wonder bra craze (not sure how old you are). The mega box and wonder bra are very similar. Open it and you’re left wondering “where the Hell did it go?!”

Here’s the better of the players from 3 mega boxes. Guess we’ll find out in 3-4+ years if any of these cards are actually worth anything 🤪
