Also, is the checklist the same Chrome? 200 players?

Yeah, case should yield 2-3 oranges, 1 black and a chance at a red or extra black/orange auto. So 6-7 parallel autos per case.

Yep, looks like about 10,600 boxes based on the pads for the 200 base checklist.

You are reading that correct.

Dang. This product looks fun to rip. Bowman Chrome U might have been my favorite product the past year....

kyle1707 · 12-15-2023, 01:43 PM

I got 2.

Was hoping it was 99.99

But glad I got 2

Good luck to all my Sapphire BUC brothers and sisters out there! May all your hits bring honor to your lineage.

RainCityShecks · 12-15-2023, 01:54 PM

In for 2 boxes. Merry X-mas to me! Hope I land a good 1st auto or parallel!.

BayAreaChris · 12-15-2023, 01:58 PM

10600 boxes or 1600 cases. Did I do that right?

Don't care about Corbin Carrol Topps, Topps Chrome RCs. Wait and buy his Sapphire RC. It's all so watered down now.

I'm admittedly not much of a baseball guy but seems like there's no issues on that side. Think the key is doing this with their premium brands (a la Flagship and Chrome) and not every single one of the IPs. Can't imagine a world where a throwaway product like Zenith in football would do better than one of these Topps/Chrome variants.

1060 cases

RainCityShecks · 12-15-2023, 02:24 PM

Did I buy these b/c I missed out on the Donruss Mega boxes this year? Yeah, probably. But the more I look over this Sapphire release it seems pretty solid!

I picked up two boxes after briefly toying with the idea of picking up a case.

Chris P · 12-15-2023, 02:51 PM

I got my 4 alotted boxes. Don't rip much nowadays and regular Bowman Chrome U was fun and good to me so why not

AwesomeBrian · 12-15-2023, 02:59 PM

Got my 4 as my Christmas present to myself

LionsJets1323 · 12-15-2023, 03:07 PM

I got 2 for my Christmas rip.

kabe586 · 12-15-2023, 03:14 PM

With everything going on in the portal, will these have as much value with all of the players under 'former' teams now. i.e. Dillon Gabriel? It's one thing when players move the NFL, it's another when they play (and succeed) on a different team. Bo Nix for example..

Only time will tell, but that's a valid question.

sfguy21 · 12-15-2023, 03:23 PM

Loved F1 Sapphire so decided to take the plunge. First time buying a box not in person so this wait is going to be quite annoying

mutigers77 · 12-15-2023, 03:40 PM

Gosh darn you guys! I just snagged a case.

majestik101 · 12-15-2023, 03:45 PM

2 cases here. just kidding - I value my $

bustsomewax · 12-15-2023, 04:10 PM

It's too bad they did Black Sapphire Autos, but not base.

I'm just not seeing enough to justify the price point given the checklist. Isn't Hobby at around $100 and two autos still a sharper buy, or am I missing something?

You already said you weren't buying and saw everyone else buying and are now back with FOMO hoping someone will convince you the price increase is worth it...

Just buy your boxes man LMAO

Touche touche...I love Bowman Chrome U, so it is tempting, but I cant get over how many stinker autos there will be.
