On the 20 year anniversary of the 2004 BDPP release I thought this post from the PSA forum was interesting:
“This is a great modern product to collect. The 2002 and 2003 have gone way up from their original cost = $55! There is a rumor that most of the 2004 Bowman Chrome DP are chipped and off center. I am not going to open the factory sealed box I own for this reason. It is worth more sealed.”

A poster replied:
“However, you're probably right about the box being worth more sealed. Chances of getting $56+ worth of cards out of it are kind of low. I doubt the box will increase in value like the 2002 set did, though. They printed a lot more of it, just as they did in 2003 (which is still at or below the original price). That you can still get a box for the same price 2 months after release shows there's plenty to go around for the time being. But in a year or two it could be worth having.”

Looking back 20 years, that draft class didn’t age well. I sunk way too much money into Danny Putnam

Gotta rip your boxes before the Aflac redemptions expire, though.

I bet there were also people complaining about the cost of wax back then too.

I think most people just wondered why folks were interested of buying cards of players who were still in the minor leagues, not prices. Many products could be found at a discount shortly after release. |

$55 in 2003 is equivalent to $94 today. Makes sense we are paying $1000 for Bowman Draft.

I was buying clearance 2018 Update at Wal-Mart. I even left blasters and fat packs behind.

I think the main complaints back then were price and quality control. The auto checklist was maybe 20 players deep. Hobby cases were less than $600, lol. I was focused more on Team USA back then and they were $350 for 20 set cases.

2003 was so fun. It was loaded with: Delmon Young, Rickie Weeks, Billingsley, Ryan Harvey and lots of other studs (at the time). It was easy to make money opening draft back in the day. Fun times!!
