Someone please talk some sense into me ... Bowman Chrome

I have six 6-box hobby cases coming (Some already here). I really want to rip this stuff, but my work schedule this week is going to make it VERY hard to get it ripped and listed in a timely manner. If I were to just sell the cases, I think I would get at least an $800 profit right now based on what I paid.

Seems like pretty easy money, but the ripper in me wants the slim chance at a Joba Gold or better!!! I know I could also hold and make money down the road, but I don't know if my self-control would allow that. Someone talk some sense into me...

Rich.......... did you happen to get them from Steve? if so, the see my other post about the 16 boxes. they might be good ??????

I just talked to Steve a few minutes ago and he told me about your break. I also looked at it on the boards. Congrats!! I didn't get mine from him. I got mine from the two dealers here in town.

And you're not helping!!

I know alot of people are always telling people to rip products cause lets face it it's not our money involved LOL

But unless you're planning on collecting the autos and sets etc. then you'd be foolish not to just resell the cases ...
Never mind what "might" come out of it and think of it practically .... if you think you can make around $800 profit then just think what would actually have to come out of those boxes to get that kind of profit back --- then think of what the odds are of that happening ..... then think of the work involved trying to sell all those cards ......
no brainer IMO ---

I know if it was me I'd take that profit and whistle all the way to the bank ....

Sell and take a profit or sell till its all paid for and keep your profit as sealed boxes for a year or two for the big payoff. This product looks watered down to me and most breaks should only be average at best.

If you don't have time to rip and get these on ASAP I would just sell them and reap the reward. I am ripping for the simple fact that I have vacation planned around this break and will be able to dedicate 24/7 to this project.

Sell them all and treat youself to something nice w/ whatever profit you make. You will be soooo happy you are playing w/ "house money" if you do. Good luck.
