    Bowman Chrome @ Target

    There were three retail boxes of Bowman Chrome FB at Target tonight. $2.99 per pack, 3 cards.

    Each box was missing one pack so you have to assume the searchers have already been there. Any idea what they are easily pulling at one per box?

    I went to target tonight and got some Bowman chrome, Im thinking it was a fresh box, got both packs out of the middle, NOTHING. .LOL. When they were doing the Bowman packs w/inserted chrome, I pulled like 3-4 rooks perpack, both chromes were rooks, and I pulled 2 refractors. Both were 2.99.

    Do the Chrome retail packs have one rookie per? I got 3 rookies in 3 packs.

    Yeah I think they are 1 in 1 pack, I did get 2 rookies in 2 packs, they just were no names. Im just venting. However I did get 1 pack of turkey red and got a Jones-Drew and a Bush RC.

    I opened 7 packs of retail bowman chrome last night from Target and got basically nothing. Oh, I got a Travis Taylor Xfractor #161/250, "whoopty do" HOW IN THE HECK do these pack searchers walk in to the place and instantly know what packs have the autos. I can understand the GU thing due to thickness, but the autos should be impossible to tell apart. It's just rediculious. Someone please explain.

    I suspect that the missing packs were autos but I am not certain. They are certainly not worth $3.00 per pack if the chance for an auto is gone. Kind of like buying lottery tickets that exclude the big prize. Some Target employees are giving the searchers here advance notice so it is almost impossible to hit unsearched boxes.

    Well, it's not like there is a good chance at pulling an autograph out of retail as it is.

    I would like to meet some of these pack searchers and their target employee friends.

    it pissed me off today. I went to target to get some cards and I saw a pack searcher just finishing. I got pretty mad at him but then thought to ask him if he had searched the cards I was going to get. He had but I got them anyway and got 3 rookie cards. Pretty Gay

    Most of them are just guys looking for stuff to sell on Ebay or to local shops. They will tell you what they are doing and what they are looking for. The local shop said that people come in quite often with stacks of current GU and autos to sell for practically nothing. I just want to know what they are pulling from Bowman Chrome before I buy any more packs.
    Maybe ToysRUs has the best idea, bubble packs and plastic containers.
