i was searching blowout today and saw they had a deal for a 10 box case of 2006 bowman chrome football for only 475$(or something like that). heres all the great autos you cant get!

reggie bush
vince young
matt leinart
nernon davis
laurence maroney
lendale white
aj hawk
jay cutler
brodie croyle
brandon marshall
maurice jones drew
jerious norwood
deangelo williams
marques colston
greg jennings

soooo my question is, is that will this be a good case to buy and hold onto for a couple years then sell or possible bust open? or heck maybe even buy it at this cheap price and bust er open? input would be AWESOME!

with only 1 auto per box you may hit one nice auto in the case but chances are you'll get mainly scrub players. You might get some $ for any nice low #'d refractors but I wouldnt go with that product for investment purposes.

It would be a fun rip for the price.

yea but theres about 15-20 nicer-awesome autos on the checklist. thats about 1 in 3 boxes youll hit a decent (or awesome ;]) auto. not bad odds????????

No not the case, you'll average 1 of the short printed autos per case and the other 9 will be scrubs. Wait for 2008 to come out and watch a few case breaks on the board.

Not necessarily, guys like Greg Jennings, Maurice Jones-Drew, Brandon Marshall, and Marques Colston I don't think were part of the short printed group.

Buy like 3 boxes and see what you think. This product has taken a hit because of the lower collectibility of Bush, Leinart, and Young. There is however many other good players in this set. It will definitely be a fun break, but dont do it for an investment.

True but if you pull 1 of each of those you're still in the hole after the case. Unless you just get a LOADED case its very hard to make back or get what you put into it.

The fun factor would be the only reason to purchase this case as it is VERY tough to come out even or get back what you put into it.

so maybe 3-4 boxes and some luck?

Look trust me the odds aren't in your favor for pulling big names. Get a couple boxes or a case, its cheap so even if you don't hit its still fun. Exquisite is prolly the only box/case that would be an investment, if 06 turns out to be the greatest class ever the Case may go up $100. Just isn't alot of room for it to grow.

I busted a case of 2006 Bowman Chrome and it will be the LAST Time I bust one
all the AU's were crap in fact I pulled 2 redemption's of the same player!
Pulled nothing worth while
I wouldnt bother with it
bust a couple boxes maybe

not really
2 good Refs Bush and Young
pulled a decent numbers of RC's of the top picks
But I still couldnt complete the set from busting a case
I pulled one felt back -Addai Sold it that following weekend
It wasnt worth the investment
