Question about 2008 Bowman Chrome for the modern crew

Can I get the Jason Heyward autograph card #BCP121 and all of its variations (different refractors/xfractor/etc..) from 2008 Bowman Chrome Hobby? May be a dumb question but I haven't bought any modern stuff in years. Also, what are the chances I will pull one if I buy a case? Other good hits? Thanks for all the info. in advance.

<< <i>Yes it is a dumb question. Zero chance of getting them all from one hobby case if that is what you are asking. I may be wrong with the numbers but I think there are only 12 boxes per case and only one auto per box with over 100 different players that are auto'd. >>
no, I'm asking if that card is even available in regular Bowman Chrome Hobby. I know that there is Bowman Chrome Draft Picks, etc... I'm just not familiar with all of the hundreds of varieties of modern cards. Lol, even I know I can't get all the Jason Heyward variations from one case, damn. If you'll look at my original post it says "what are the chances I will pull ONE from a case"
The kid appears to be the real deal, but I would suspect that with the current hype, there should be a dip as he starts the season. Being that his power will continue to develop, there may be opportunities to purchase shortly after the season starts and Heyward's numbers fail to live up to the incredible hype. But then again, if he pulls a Kevin Maas and puts 'em over the wall out of the gate, we may not see double digit pricing for awhile.
The kid has a sweet stroke and I hope he focuses on hitting line drives in the gaps and let's the home runs take care of themselves.
Good luck (to both of us).
For comparison, the hype is almost identical to another Braves prospect last year Jordan Schafer. Bowman Chrome rookies were hot because he had a great spring training. Season started with Schafer in the minors and collectors kind of forgot about him. I bought a PSA 10 Bowman Chrome rookie for $15 dlvd. He eventually got called up and got hot for a few games. Hit 2 HRs in his first week. Same $15 card was selling for $50-75. He started swinging for the fences and got in a major slump. Didn't hit another HR for the rest of the season. Same card went back down to $10-15.

Wouldn't buy them now, though. This is usually the time to sell.
With that being said, I think the best value is to buy 2008 bowman draft. It has autos of Beckham, Stanton, Montero, Reddick......Longoria and Kershaw "RC" autos and others just to name a few.
