Bowman Chrome Case Break - Question

[parsetdx]

So I'm sitting here starting to break a case of Bowman Chrome. This is a factory sealed case of 12 hobby boxes. The first two boxes I've opened do not have a "box loader" pack in them. Does this make sense to anybody? Not that I really care about the A-Rod cards, but eh, I paid for it right? I did get an a-rod insert in a pack, but no box loader. What's up Topps!?! Thanks. Results will follow later.

I don't think Bowman Chrome had box loaders

The A-Rod insert in a pack is actually this year's box loader...

[notfast]

yup, no box loaders....


btw - post the autos...also looking for chorye spoone prospect parallels

enigma - sorry I wasn't clear on that.....

Based on the description on DACW it looks like there is literally a special pack that only contains 2 A-Rod cards. I did not have this in my first two boxes, and I happened to pull one A-Rod card out of a normal pack, where the A-Rod insert took the place of another card.

So based on that - am I missing the loader packs from my boxes? I'm confused.

the "loader" is actually just the arod card inserted into one of tyhe packs

no, you are not missing any loaders from your boxes. there are no box loaders in 07 BC. all the a-rod HR cards were inserted in packs usually at a rate of 1 per box.

Topps changed gears after the press sheet was released and inserted 1 A-Rod card in to a pack as the box loader instead of having the sealed pack of 2 A-Rod cards.

Thanks guys. The Topps sell sheet, and DACW website is misleading. Again, not that I care. Back to breaking - will post everything, probably tomorrow once it's all opened. Going out tonight so only hitting a few boxes today.

Sweet! And I'm only on box #2!!!! :-)

You know what's kinda cool about these? You can see the fingerprints on the cards from where they were handled when they were hand signed. At least I think it's kinda interesting.
