2 Bowman Jumbo Boxes

[BillInDallas]

'm generally a hockey and oddball collector. However with all the buzz surrounding Bowman, I figured I'd give it a shot for a couple of boxes from an LCS in the Dallas area. The only baseball I open is usually a case of A&G, however with the beauty of these cards along with the chase, I can see how these are so popular. Here are the hits...

Jose Campos
Jose Reyes
Brad Peacock
Jarrod Parker

Cliff Lee
Derek Jeter
Will Swanner

Ervin Santana
Luis Heredia
Eric Surkamp
Alex Liddi

Addison Reed
Brandon Jacobs
Clay Holmes x2
Austin Hedges

Chrome Gold
Danny Hultzen

Since I'm here in the DFW area, I'm debating whether getting the Hultzen graded makes sense. I would likely have the first graded version out there. I'm guessing that it's a 9, maybe 9.5 if I'm lucky. What are the opinions of more season Bowman buyers/collectors on the merit of getting a non-auto graded?

Well it's off center left to right so might grade a 9 maybe a 9.5 if the back is centered well.

Since its in your backyard I would get it graded first thing tomorrow and if it turns out well then great if it doesn't then just break it out of the case and sell raw.

Also if you're willing to move that dillon Howard auto let me know please thanks!

I just dropped it off this morning at Beckett. I'll roll the dice and see what happens. I agree with the centering. Luckily the back is very well centered. There is just a very small nick under the one arm that might affect the surface grade. If I didn't live 20 minutes from their office, I'd just move it raw. I'll shoot you a PM on the Howard auto.

Right now I'm only looking to sell. Thanks.

Sounds good let us know what it grades when you find out.

What card shop do you go to in DFW?

What card shop do you go to in DFW?

95% of the time I'll go to Nick's. Occasionally, about 2-3 times a year, I'll go over to Triple Cards in Plano. I've never made it to SMH over in Grapevine. Are you from the area?
