96/97 Bowman's Best box - is $175 reasonable?

[jmmintz]

One of my LCS has a box of 96/97 Bowman's Best for $175. This particular store tends to be overpriced, but that seems reasonable compared to what I see online.

I had stopped collecting during the 90s, so not real certain about this product. Worth a gamble at that price?

That seems like an ok price. Arguably the best draft class ever plus mj is in the product. Why not at that price?

I see them going for more. Id jump on it for $175

[jmmintz]

Actually was able to get it for $165. Will post the results later.

Awesome! I look forward to seeing the break.

Just finished - will post the whole break to my blog later.

I think I beat the odds, though. I believe it's supposed to be two refractors and one atomic refractor per box, and I got three refractors (retro Kemp, retro Juwan and Best Shots Penny) and two atomics (Hakeem and Best Shots Gary Payton).

One Kobe rc, an Iverson base RC and retro RC, and one Jordan base.

It was a fun break

Any chance that Payton will be FS?

Probably - shoot me an offer via PM.

Offer has been sent.

ah I was about to say for the hobby box (red boxes) that's a pretty solid price. the blue retail boxes fetch almost that much too.
