2000 bowman chrome score! Brady odds?

CoryM · 09-07-2015, 07:01 PM

Picked these 4 boxes up this weekend for a steal. Anyone ever have any luck opening these? I really want to open them but the only value I see are Brady RC'S .

glen87 · 09-07-2015, 07:06 PM

24 packs times 4 cards per pack = 96 cards per box

270 card set

i cannot remember how many inserts in a box, but you will probably end up with less than 90 cards after inserts. so by the odds, there could be 1-2 brady in those 4 boxes

Ah, the good old days. Where it meant something to get an Auto and you were excited even if it was R. Jay Soward. Crack them now and post the results.

I'm with the open it up

Rareairx23 · 09-07-2015, 07:27 PM

Were the bradys that came out of these valuable?

ILikeThatCard · 09-07-2015, 07:28 PM

Brady was a late round pick. I bet he ends up with at least 1-2............per box.

i knew there were over 100 - but had to look it up.

i opened A LOT of boxes in 2000. have almost every base set from that year as well

Odds are stacked against me for the price I paid, I'd have to hit a refractor to make it worth while. Thanks for the input!

Just think all the big names from this set are now basically worthless

Urlacher, Alexander, Burress, Lewis, Pennington, and Abraham

So you are sitting on a veritable gold mine is what you are saying?

You probably have a lot of knowledge that I could use right now (I am in the market for a Brady non-auto RC).

glen87 · 09-07-2015, 08:05 PM

i only opened a couple of bowman chrome - too expensive even back then

jedi500 · 09-07-2015, 11:03 PM

Each box is worth $250 so he has $1000 right there. Would be really stupid to break as he would have to hit 2 Brady refractors to make it worthwhile. Somehow the Canadian card store guys never know what they have. Same thing happened with some dude buying 2011 topps update.

cking · 09-07-2015, 11:06 PM

Boy, this thread is a perfect example of what this hobby has become..............not a hobby anymore. All about the $$$$$

sportscards0513 · 09-07-2015, 11:12 PM

Just open them and have fun looking through 15 year old cards.

Eckstein197 · 09-08-2015, 07:36 AM

Crack 2 and sell 2. If that makes your money back, you are essentially playing with the house money

I'm the same guy who bought all the 2011 update, I've been picking from a private collection for the past year

I thoroughly enjoy collecting, just not a huge brady guy... anyone in my situation would do the same

THE(NEXT)LEVEL · 09-08-2015, 08:20 AM

Sell, you will be disappointed most likely opening them.

sideshowbob · 09-08-2015, 08:21 AM

I'd sell them. Ignoring all talk about profiting, the boxes themselves just aren't fun to open. I've seen these opened on youtube and it's just ~20 packs of stuck together base cards and a couple packs with a numbered card.
