Thumbs up 7 2018 Bowman Mega Boxes - Saved By The Bell!

I went into my local Target today, hoping they had finally stocked 2018 Mega Boxes, and lucky for me, they had!

(My store is notorious for its late stocking, so when I saw the red endcaps near the toy aisle---I almost got duped by Pokémon cards---I was thrilled!)

The display was already missing about half the boxes when I arrived, so I used the TOY25 coupon to pick up 7 boxes. (Although now I'm wishing I would've grabbed the other 5-7 I left as well.)

Here are the results from my 7 boxes (one of which contained an extra Mega Pack):

Notables From The Base Bowman Packs -
• 3 Base Ohtani Rookies
• Likely Some Base Top Prospects As Well, I Wasn't Really Paying Attention

Notable Base Mojos -
• Juan Soto
• Ronald Acuña
• Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

Notable "1st" Base Mojos -
• Hunter Greene
• Keibert Ruiz
• Cristian Pache

Notable Bowman Trending Mojo Inserts -
• Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

Notable Rookie Of The Year Favorites Mojo Inserts -
• Rafael Devers
• Ozzie Albies

Notable Color -
• Nick Senzel /99

Now, as I was approaching my final Mojo Packs, you can see why I might've been disappointed. As a result of my goose chase for this product, my boxes to this point had produced no autos and barely any color.

Thankfully though, the break was saved by my last few Mojo Packs, which produced the following:

• Rookie Of The Year Favorites Mojo Insert - Shohei Ohtani
• Rookie Of The Year Favorites Purple Mojo Insert - Shohei Ohtani /250

Other than autos of a few of the prospects and a few of the rookies, (or of course an Ohtani redemption) I don't think I could've done much better!

I plan on holding both for now, as the purple will be headed to BGS shortly. (Any idea on value if it 9.5's?)

Can't help but wish I would've bought the rest of the display for a larger chance at some autos though!

Thanks for looking, I'll attach pictures below!

Nice purple. I opened 28 boxes, got 4 Ohtani ROY, and a bunch of no name autographs. You did good on the purple!

typically 6 autos in a 30 box display. You avoided all 6 so far. Who knows how many were pulled out of 15 boxes though.

I wouldn’t send the purple to BGS. Centering looks 9 and best, and maybe an 8.5 because of T/B. Send to PSA if the rest is clean.

Now that you mention it, I do notice that the centering is pretty poor. It could scrape away with a 9.5 if the rest is solid though. Should I send it in with a minimum grade?

Man that purple Ohtani saved you! Congrats. And there is ZERO chance that those boxes are still there, especially since you mentioned it in the main post earlier today.

Thanks! I can't decide if I should try to send it in or not.
I figured on the boxes, haha. There is one other store that I know hasn't stocked yet though.

EDIT: Seems that store has been cleared as well, nevermind.

I'd probably sell it ASAP while it's the only Ohtani chrome (non-auto, non WBC) out there. Long term, a non-insert such as his upcoming Bowman Chrome cards would seem to be the more desirable card.

g/l finding some more megas in DFW. My brother and I have been searching for some more w/o any luck. At this point I think that's all it is, pure luck.

I actually don't sell most of my stuff. I keep it all in my collection. As for the megas, I'd say we're SOL since North Richland Hills already got its second wave and has been cleared. Grapevine might get another one as well, but it won't be for a few weeks as they stock every other Thursday. I was lucky to get what I did. What did you pull from yours? Good luck to you as well!
