It dilutes the product and guys like you scooping up these "leftovers" doesn't change that.

P.S Not trying to attack. I believe I do follow you on Twitter and enjoy the updates. You might have suggested some of these names, and some of them might have some nice stats. Problem is those stats will plummet when there skills can't match up against some of the higher level/MLB talent.
I'm not in the habit of plucking those types of names out of the sky when adding them to my suggestion list. These are players who have been lauded over quite a bit by reputable writers in the prospect industry.

We all know the majority of prospects don't make it, but as someone in the position I'm in, my job is to find the guys I believe are the exception to the rule, and who haven't had autographed cards in previous Bowman products.

If you firmly believe they will fall on their faces, as I said earlier, let me be the one to take the risk for you.

Any word if those are replacing prospect autos in a box or are they an "extra" hit?
They replaced the prospects last year if I remember correctly. The only thing that was an extra auto typically was the UA/PG autos. 40 autos is alot but atleast there are a large number of good quality ones. I think it helps when opening hobby boxes/cases, cause atleast you wont be as bummed at a base auto if they are decent quality. The jumbo's should have great value this year with the chances to get so many quality players.

Anybody know the normal pack distribution on bowman for inserts? 1 per hobby pack? Thanks this is what BO lists.

Each pack contains
- five (5) 2013 Bowman Baseball Cards
- two (2) Prospects
- two (2) Bowman Chrome Prospects
- and one (1) Base Gold Parallel Card.

Each pack contains
- sixteen (16) 2013 Bowman Baseball Cards
- eight (8) Prospects
- six (6) Bowman Chrome Prospects
- one (1) Base Gold Parallel Card
- and one (1) Bowman's Best Baseball

That looks pretty standard. But I do think that it will change some with the new inserts sets they have added. Also, their are a ton of ice cards(especially in the jumbo). I based my projected set figures off of what Blowout posted was supposed to be in each pack so I hope they are pretty accurate.

Nice try, dont think many will be willing to help with this. Would rather not add another person to fight over auto's with on ebay.

what do you think he's expecting to change by 'taking them off your hands'?

He's not saying that by him buying them, it will somehow make other people pay more.....

i don't think you get what prospecting is all about. Jaypers knows about prospects,.... and the ones that sell for dollars but have big potential are the cards a prospector would want.

I'd heard they're saving him for future Bowman products.

I worry ... if the print runs are high, the base and the inserts of this product will be somewhat worthless.

Sounds to me like Bowman may try for 7,500 cases produced / which will obliterate value and demand.

Some good news:

@BowmanScout: He'll be in there in some capacity, what type of card remains to be seen.

In reference to Puig.

Maybe, maybe not. I wouldn't consider a Top 100 insert to be a "jackpot."
