View Full Version : Gotta love those packs you just throw into your order.

So three days ago I decided I was going to buy my first hobby box in well over a year (I'm more of a singles/loose packs kind of guy). I chose 2012 Bowman Draft. Not expecting much, just looking for a fun time breaking it. Something nice would be cool though. :)!
Anyway, I really like the way the new 2013 Bowman looked. I decided to add a pack of it into my Blowout cart for an extra $2.75 or whatever it was. I wound up pulling this nice refractor autograph /500 of Eddie Butler. It also had a nice Correa chrome and a Profar gold paper rookie. I'm already happy with my order just with pulling that Butler, and I still have a whole box to go. Not a super valuable card or anything, but I'm going to just hang on to it anyway. It was a very pleasant surprise.

I'll open the Draft box sometime next week and update this thread with what I get.

Nice! I pulled a Christian Yelich Future's Game relic from a single pack of 2012 BDPP from my LCS this winter.

That's not a bad one to have right now. He looks promising. Only problem is he's a Marlin haha.

Yeah, I actually traded it a few weeks ago for a David Wright Topps Heritage relic. The Yelich may end up being worth more in the end, but I can never turn down a nice David Wright card, especially his hits.

Wow! You're gonna sit on unopened wax for a week? That might get you burned alive around here.

Yea, just for a week. A friend of mine is coming up who likes cards, figured I'd wait until he gets here.

Just opened the Draft box. Before I opened it, I got a Joey Gallo refractor auto in the mail. I pulled the exact card from my box. Definitely happy :)!
