Running Live Break: 4 Collector Boxes of 2018 Bowman Platinum

Chris P · 07-13-2018, 09:05 PM

I know a lot of people don't like this product. I do and did fairly well with it last year so I'm giving it a shot. I initially ordered 2 collector boxes of Wal Mart's website since our Wal Mart didn't have any last week. I stopped by Wal Mart tonight and there was TONS of it. I counted 10 Collector Boxes along with a ton of Blasters and Fat Packs. Decided to pick up 2 more Collector Boxes and now it's time to rip! Will be posting as I finish a box at a time.

Box 1

Ohtani Base RC

Platinum Presence
Nolan Arenado
Michael Kopech

Rookie Revelations
Willie Calhoun
Brandon Woodruff
Rhys Hoskins
Rafael Devers

Prismatic Prodigies
Fernando Tatis Jr.
Adam Haseley
Seth Romero
Carter Kieboom

Green Parallel
Giancarlo Stanton (#13/99)
Estevan Florial (#05/99)

Hunter Greene SP
HG8

Autographs
Shane Bieber

Rookie Auto Pieces
Francisco Mejia (#71/99)

I don't think this was too bad of a box. The Mejia is a tough hit just wrong player, a Hunter Greene SP, and both Green Parallels were solid. Also hit an Ohtani base and a Shane Bieber auto. I'd say pretty good start. Here's pic of the better cards. Onto box 2

Good luck the rest of the way! Hopefully you'll hit a nice auto or parallel in the rest of the break!

Man, this has to be a candidate for one of the worst boxes broken. Not one numbered parallel. There were two packs were the 3rd card was backward (which usually indicated an insert/parallel) but nope both base cards so I wonder if that was a packing error. Yeah..that was brutal. Been downhill since Box 1 basically. Pics of the autos. Will Finish the break up tomorrow

sp's and variations are sometimes placed in there like that also.

Yeah but I looked and it was just prospect cards of Eloy Jimenez (pulled 2 in the pack) and Brian Mundell

Good luck on the last box. Would be interested in any Corbin Martin's that I need.

Pretty disappointing overall break. Collation absolutely sucked amongst inserts as I pulled doubles and triples of the same insert cards out of 4 boxes. Pull a low numbered auto but of course it's of a crappy prospect. Huge mistake to buy this stuff. My baseball luck has been in the complete crapper after that awesome Topps Tier Case break. Keeping the Kieboom and Bieber autos, everything else is available
