The LCS as of this week is charging $120 for 24 pack Bowman Hobby boxes. However owner charged me only $85. So why did I get the lower price? It was because the sealed retail box I got from him last Monday was missing an auto. He felt bad for me and sold me the hobby box at a lower price.

Here are the hits nothing great but at least I did not get shorted an auto

Bowman base auto redemption card (already redeemed)- Darin Mastroianni

Brandon belt chrome and regular common cards

Bryce Harper common card

Kody Hintze blue refractor

Another thing about the redemptions. You have to be really careful not to scratch off these topps redemptions. I entered a "P" instead of a "B" for my code because I accidently scratched too much off so much so that the first letter looked a P instead of a B. TOPPS really needs to follow upper deck and pannin's lead and cover the codes with clear tape. That way when you scratch it off you don't accidently scratch off the redemption code this happened to the Mike Williams Finest FB redemption luckily that card had the name of the player on it in that case I accidently scratched so much of the code off that it was not legible anymore. Topps however did send me my Mike williams auto though luckily when I sent off the card with a complaint to them that the way they design the redemption cards its really easy to scratch off the code
