2007 Bowman football

Seems to be a popular question for this type of release, but I'm torn between a jumbo and a hobby case. Any insight from someone who broke this last year on the value of the jumbos?

If the current checklist is correct, I think that the Hobby cases are the way to go. However, I have a feeling that the #1-55 chrome checklist is nor correct.

I called Topps about the checklist, and they gave me the old "Checklist is subject to change". But I asked him about all the good rookies are listed in the regular Bowman release, and he just stuck to the company line. He did tell me that the updated checklist will be out two weeks after release! I didn't know what to say to that. This better not turn out to be a bait and switch by Topps or else! or else what, what can we do about it.

I got the same answer regarding the checklist when I called also. I may get a case or two just in case though :)

I'm working with the assumption that the Chrome checklist will be like last year, full of 2nd and 3rd tier guys and potential breakouts like a Jacoby Jones or Selvin Young. If it's as advertised all the better.

Why do you like the Hobby cases better? I always thought that the Jumbo cases had more to offer. Just wondering before I place my preorder.

Thanks

Mainly due to the higher number of chrome and parallel (gold, blue, orange, etc.) cards per case. Again, this is based on the current checklist being correct.

Also, you only get one game used and one auto per box for both Hobby and HTA. HTA boxes get an additional SOTF auto, but if I remember correctly, that list looks pretty weak.

the majority of the autos in Hobby are going to be the SOTF autos..... just like last year. only the top rookies will have base card variation autos.

Is this a money maker if you break? I'm so sick of losing money on baseball this year and actually like football better so may give this a shot.

Most people who broke this on here lost last year. Not all mind you but most and I unfortunately was one of the losers (and I worked very hard at getting my stuff listed very rapidly). The good autos are extremely hard to hit and you need some luck with refractors also to help put you over the top. If you do sell I would recommend selling everything in sets. You can do chrome lots if you want but base must be sold as a set. Good luck if you try it.

[go_steelers07]

it all depends on the chrome checklist..... if it's mostly NON-first round early 2nd picks, stay away. NON-SOTF auto are too hard to pull.

Thanks for the input. I tried heritage fb a few years back and realized there are not as many fb collectors as baseball at least on the low end sets and singles.

Is bowman chrome any better.
