I wasn't going to buy Bowman Sterling this year simply because it was too expensive and there wasn't anything in that particularly moved me. Of course, this all changed when i went to my LCS today. I bought 2 packs, got a couple of decent autos and a gold ref RC, and was satisfied. I decided to go back for one last pack and pulled THIS out.

(BTW, another guy came after me and I watched him pull out a Bryce Harper GO TOPPS! Auto out of a box. INCREDIBLE.)

A plate auto of Strasburg!!!!!!!!:eek::eek::eek: Very nice pull. I have checked out a lot of breaks here for this year's sterling and I have not seen a Harper auto yet. Great box.

I guess my next question is this: sell, keep, or redeem (and of course sit on it for like two years when Stras hopefully comes back)?

I'm a pessimist (which paid off when I sold one of his Bowman Chromes for 40 bucks after they beat the Tribe and he went 2-0). I say redeem it and put it up for sale asap. The human arm is not meant to throw 100 mph and steroids won't allow guys the opportunity to continue to do it anymore.

Ryan used for sure.

And I can tell you as a Tribe fan that Feller's speed is overstated. He threw hard, but not 100.

All I know is that he'll never return to the hype he was or even still is. Especially not in Washington.

Being a HUGE Ryan fan, give me and all the rest of us proof from your vast experience that he used steroids "FOR SURE"

He pitched in the 80s and early 90s, was over 40 and threw 100 mph. He never broke down. If it walks like a duck...
