Am I alone when I state that I absolutely HATE those stupid Road to 500 cards? I'd rather have some no name common than those stupid cards when I tear a pack open.

fandango

goose, you have been pretty quiet over the .5 thing.....your take?

I agree. The cross product cards would be one thing if the set was obtainable, but with 500 different cards across so many different issues, I can't imagine anybody every completing the set, and if you do the cost associated in completing it would well outweigh any re-sale value.

Bowman sterling is a nice product if you are into prospect speculating. I have been burnt way too many times going after prospects. I will just wait till these guys retire in 15 years to buy their cards. The cards will go down in price unless they are a once in a generation player regardless if they end up with HOF or close to HOF numbers. The rookie card game is for making a quick buck when a guy hits the majors and has a little bit of success/hype.

CDsNuts

What happened to the policy of a player needing to play in the majors before gtting a rookie card? Is that over?

Mikefromchester

CDsNuts, I think the loophole is the Prospects cards are a insert set and don't carry the rookie symbol.

I was Very pleased with the contents of the box, what do you think?
