When I first got started I bought a box of 2005 Bowman Chrome for $80-85 to chase a Rodgers... unless you have money to blow don't go chasing Rodgers because it's either Rodgers or garbage, no other option lol.

I bought 1 box of portraits and learned my lesson. Maurice Clarett!!

Zacky1053 · 06-06-2012, 05:20 PM

Ahhhh the days when 2005 Bowman Chrome was $50/box and nobody wanted it...lol

jlzinck · 06-06-2012, 05:30 PM

I bought 1 of these a few years ago and got a dual Carson Palmer/Chad Johnson I think /15 or /25

Fot %40 for it

You don't happen to still have that card, do you?

ajscards101 · 06-06-2012, 07:14 PM

Vernand has gotta have one of the craziest signatures ever

DRS78 · 06-06-2012, 07:25 PM

They $35 a box for 3 years, I would always put a few cases in the cart but never pulled the trigger because the SP's were tough to pull and the best non SP at the time was Gore.

Gates and Roddy are AWESOME auto's compared to what you could've gotten.Take a gander at the checklist and thank the Lord.

Yeah, I was happy, till I saw they were going for $7-10 bucks each...had thought I mighta broke even...maybe its just the offseason price...hopefully will go up a little in the fall

tdmonkeys · 06-06-2012, 10:55 PM

It's good for me, I have a few of those Gates and I think the most I've ever paid was $12.

I agree. Welcome to the Vernand Morency checkmark club. I hit his SPx back in 05 and tried to send it back to UD

WilsonValdez · 06-07-2012, 01:17 PM

Ahhh you got my all time favorite (worst) card ever. The amazing checkmark Morency on a JUMBO card. Ugly sig + a TON of dead space= Amazing(ly awful).
