    Bowman Sterling

    I've been watching various breaks on this years product, and I am left to think....glad I didn't throw that money out there. I mean there are alot of nice rookie auto breaks, but for that kind of money, I would expect there to be a few awesome star autos too...but all I have seen so far is Tatum Bell???

    Rookie autos are nice, and it's a great feeling to pull an auto of a great prospect...but hasn't it gone too far? Seems all the products are doing a staple of primarily rookie autos and GU...I say cut back on those, especially guys after the 3rd round. I would rather pull a Peerless Price or Dante Hall then a guy who makes the practice squad this year.

    Save me a dollar or two a pack, cut back to 2 hits per box, drop to one parallel, and make chasing a set a viable goal and I'd be happy.

    i think its a pretty sweet product myself...

    i guess its the mindset you go into it with...if you think...Ok im droppign $50 on a low tier box of cards, ie: Topps or Score...your figuring your getting a bunch of base, a ton of $4 rookies, and maybe a parralelel or a longshot GU...

    With this your dropping $50 and coming away with 2 rookies, 2 gu, 1 rookie auto...possibly something sick...

    I mean if your buying it hoping for the HUGE payoff...then yes...it isnt a good product because their is a lot of average stuff in it...but compare it with leaf limited or ultimate...ive seen people drop $50 per pack on limited and pull 1 jersey card of like drew bledsoe and have it sell for $8...

    I like Sterling!

    I agree with hagansp, I bought 2 boxes of sterling and did decent. Got a Hawk RC Jersey, Young RC JSY, and some other usable traid bait.

    It is far better then what i got with Absolute (Omar Jacobs) and for Ultimate, no way, I saw a guy bust a pack and got an Omar Jacobs Auto rc/35 REDEMPTION!!!!!!!! What is up with that!!!!!!!!

    Bowman sterling has been the best bang for my buck this year!
