2011 Bowman.. Have you ripped any?

Didn't pre-order any hobby, and now it is $200+ a box for Jumbos and $90+ a box for packs.

Bought about $400 retail so far and made my money back with ease hitting 5 Harper Chromes, Green Border Haper /450, and a few other harper variant inserts.

Also hit a common player Orange Refractor which is 1:4,400 packs for retail.

    I've ripped a blaster and 9 racks from walmart. Got one reg. refractor, 4 purples, and a few Bryce Harpers (base and chrome).
  • byronscott4everbyronscott4ever Posts: 932 ✭✭✭
    Broke a few racks and a few single packs. Didn't get much, no Harpers. Probably will lose most of the money but oh well right? I'll open more if it stays around for more than a few days.
  • WaltWalt Posts: 1,275 ✭✭✭
    Broke 3 jumbos for 140 per. I have made back 185 just on the Harpers and one other card. Hoping to break even on the rest.
  • Cracked some walmart retail... Not a single harper

    Ripped a bunch from walmart no harper. nothing to special. Biggest hit I got was a Arod Gold card LOL.

    I haven't busted any but I can imagine what Topps did as far as production numbers considering last years Strasburg mania. Good luck on the break.

    Just opened two retail blasters and hit one base harper chrome and 1 Haper base AUTO!!!!!!!!

    Sorry, it is the biggest hit I have had in many moons.

    I have 1 jumbo box to open this weekend.

    As far as production numbers, it looks to my eye as retail amount has doubled as the odds are almost 2X everything. However they have more insert sets and trinkets to go around so a lot of stuff per box. I don't know how many Harper autos they made but I would guess about 2 to 3X the amount of Strasbourg.

    Nice pull on the Harper auto!!

    I ripped a hobby box last night and got:

    1 Harper Chrome

  • Good luck Mike, can't wait to see the rip. Whatever the rarest Harper pull is I'm sure that you'll pull it before the end of the week.
  • zep33zep33 Posts: 6,897 ✭✭✭
    Thanks Doran - How's the foot healing?

  • The plates and screws are in place, and the leg is feeling a little better each day. I'm completely tired of not being able to do anything but lay in bed, browsing amazon now for some good baseball books to read.

    I have a sickness

    I just left work under the guise of going to get donuts so I could run over to K-Mart to grab the 4 blasters I left hanging there yesterday due to lack of fundage. I told those blasters to just sit tight yesterday and that I would return. They behaved perfectly. I think one of them even disguised itself as a box of wrestling cards.

    and yes, I did buy donuts for the shop image

    Nice hit on Hell Boy, I like the design this year a lot.

  • zep33zep33 Posts: 6,897 ✭✭✭
    Thanks. The design and the blue make that card look so damn cool.

    I really wish the scan would show it better. The lettering and team logo are chrome, not white like it appears

    The Harper auto just topped 1K with a best offer. If you aren't keeping it I would get it on the bay right quick and in a hurry!

    I sold a pair of Harpers, got some $$ back.

    Everything got scooped up here and up by my customers. Luckily my brother-in-law snagged me some racks, blasters, and loose packs from his walmart. Going to pick them up this evening.
  • zep33zep33 Posts: 6,897 ✭✭✭
    Just busted the 4 blasters

    First pack from first box had another Machado redemption auto

    all downhill from there

    1 Harper base
    some decent rookie and prospect inserts
    2 Brandon Belt chromes
    Ryan Braun international
    a few colored refractors and base

    cool stuff
  • Can someone please tell me how to post a pic. I can scan just fine and crop and list, but not sure on posting here. I guarantee you'll want to see what I have to scan. Let's just say it's not a base auto...

  • stevekstevek Posts: 30,214 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Dammit - I tried to resist...now I think some of you bastiges have convinced me to head on over tomorrow and buy a few of these Bowman 2011 blasters.

    If tradition holds up, i won't pull chit. Oh well, it's only money. image
  • Don't worry Steve, I'm in the same boat....finally broke down and bought a few tonight....nothing.

    << <i>Don't worry Steve, I'm in the same boat....finally broke down and bought a few tonight....nothing. >>




    You guys are lucky that you can even find bowman to buy! If I hadn't stashed about 20 jumbos and 10 blasters at my local walmart they would of been
    gone the next day. Its funny because when I went to check on my stash a few jumbo packs had fallen and were clealy visable right under a shelf. At walmart
    they are too lazy to pick up those packs......one of those packs had the Harper in it. BOOO YA.
  • PlanemonkeyPlanemonkey Posts: 543 ✭✭

    Wow, guess the Harper craze is on. Sure seems like a lot of his cards are out there already. I bet Bowman has 3-4X the run of last years Bowmans. I bought 4 boxes last year with absoluely nothing to brag about, and still not a complete set. I think I will pass on Bowman this year, but, well, maybe not...

    Guess i'll have to buy it off the internet.
