2 x 2006 Bowman Chrome

[crtsports]

AKA Thomas Howard hunting. When the cost is low on these, I bust them in search of any color refractors of Thomas Howard and on the very slightest chance that I might find his Super that I have never seen appear. Just a fun cheap break of a class that should have been!

If there is a player you might want from 06 BC, LMK and I will just send them in a PWE to you!

Did find at least one Howard but just base Chrome.

I'm always curious as to why there are certain player collections if they are not a big name player. So why Thomas Howard?

the autographs were not bad as well. I mean Kiwanuka was a huge part of two Giants Superbowls and Pope was a good Tight End.

I played golf at UTEP when Howard was there playing football. I was one year older than him and while we were acquaintances at best due to running into each other at study hall, student-athlete events, etc, collecting a player who I knew in a sense is what drove this collection. He had a really good start to his career and really wish he hadn't of passed away a few years ago.

Here are a few interesting collection stats of his collection also a link to photobucket if you want to take a look. About 95% is scanned and uploaded.

Ultimate Collection Auto: Own 52 of the 275
BC Red Refractor: Own 2 of the 5
BC Orange Refractor: Own 7 of the 25
BC Gold Refractor: Own 9 of the 50
BC Blue Refractor: Own 12 of the 150

Oh I agree. I put the base auto set together back in the day and still have it. So unless it is a color auto, they are all duplicates.

That's cool! It is cool to be able to collect cards of someone you knew. I actually went to school with a guy and was friends with his sister that I just found out recently he had been drafted by the Dolphins quite a few years ago. He stopped playing football to follow his dream of leading hiking excursions and he had a heart condition and passed away also. I've never been able to find any cards of his though so I don't think he had any. Good luck with your collection. It's really cool.

Awesome, another person who hoards 06 draftees!! Was he in 2006 Elite or Limited at all? I tend to bust a lot of that, and will happily keep you in mind if I ever come across anything of his.
