2010 BC Case....
This is dedicated to all my other fellow Canadians who have to overpay for anything Bowman. Most retailers here have Bowman, Bowman Chrome, and D&P starting at $75.00 a box, and that tends to be on the cheaper side! Trying to take advantage of the better box/case prices in the US often turns into a Brokerage Fee nightmare turning any savings into a regrettable mistake.
So when I was able to secure a case of the dreaded 2010 Bowman Chrome for under $600, I jumped on it. I don't know a whole lot about these prospects but it's just so much fun to bust. The break was pretty sad, I didn't hit a single top tiered Prospect auto and almost no color. Best prospect auto was a base refractor. I knew Strasburg was a redemption so when I saw the blue paper card in one of the packs, my heart jumped....
Alas it was Simon Castro.
Anyway here's the rundown:
2010 Bowman Chrome Hobby Case:
Blake Swihart USA Chrome Auto
Elvin Soto USA Chrome Refractor Auto /199
Maples/Vanegas Dual USA Chrome Auto /500
Scooter Glennett Chrome Refractor Auto /500
Simon Castro Chrome Auto Redemption
Trevor Reckling Chrome Auto
Wilin Rosario Chrome Auto
Robbie Erlin Chrome Auto
T.J. McFarland Chrome Auto
Eury Perez Chrome Auto
Alex Liddi Chrome Auto
Ryan Wheeler Chrome Auto
Kyle Gibson Chrome Auto
Corban Joseph Chrome Refractor Auto /500
One box was a dud but 3 others had 2, so no complaints. With the wrapper redemption expired, this looked like a disaster until...
I saw another blue paper card in a pack.......
Another Castro?
Slowly pulled the top card down.......
Saw Bowman Chrome Rookie Auto......
Strasburg!!!!!! I was so happy to see his name that I missed the line above it...
RED REFRACTOR /5!!!!

Very cool!
Glad you were able to salvage the case! The red refractor DEFINATELY makes up for it!

No doubt, without that one it would have been a brutal break.
Though I forgot to post this one as well which came from the case:
After hearing a few people say I should get it graded, I submitted this evening, will know how it turns out in about a month!
