Hey guys, I got a hobby box of 05 BDP from DAcardworld.com and broke the box. I couldn't get prices at the time from bowman. I had been real stressed out about stuff and just put the cards in penny sleeves and put them up. Well, tonight I decided to go back through the cards and see what was in there.

It has been so long that i do not even remember the odds...

The Auto-
Matt Garza Blue Refractor BDP173 Bowman Chrome Auto
The refractors-
Ian Kinsler-Blue refractor 171( I ASSUME this card was in the box...i dunno but i got it..)
Eric Fowler DBP50

I have 2 red refractors... when i put them in beckett it says N/A does this mean they are commons?

The Garza card showed up at 200 on the free online way to check beckett online...what do you guys think its worth?

I can get scans of all the cards if necessary. This post is mainly just to get posting and getting myself back into cards.

edited: Also, which cards are the main RC to look for in this set?

Thanks guys!

Lol, I like to be social.

As for grading, I have alot of cards I would like to grade, but the prices they charge add up. I have about 15 I would like to send in, but it would cost well over $100. It does increase the value if it comes back a 9.5 or better for sure (Sale Whise, and BV), but I also dont like sending a TON of high end through the mail to them, regardless if it has insurance or not.

As for the Garza, if you have others to send in as well, why not. If it books 200, Id say its worth it. I would figure it sells well too.
