You sir, are giving Topps WAY too much credit. This product will be overproduced and watered down like the marguerita's at applebee's.

And of course, I will still buy.

Weren't last year's placed in a separate display vs being on the normal card shelves?

both indeed

Hail2TheVictors · 05-10-2019, 09:48 AM

To me, this is really simple. Topps was leaving money on the table at $15. So they bumped it up to $20. That’s how things work when something is popular and sells the minute it’s out on shelves.

Still a decent buy at $20 imo.

I never found any in person at Target last year.

Imagine my shock when I found 10 at my local Fred Meyer. A pleasant Target exclusive.

We were all caught sleeping. Including myself! Excell released a photo of the mega box almost a month ago. I didnt even know they had an instagram. Good resource in case we need to ask them mega questions.

Excell is also on Twitter. They tweeted the same image last month.

LVDan · 05-10-2019, 02:19 PM

Any confirmation on the base packs being just base again? Seems kinda silly to make a whole other retail pack format without parallels and inserts just for the bummer factor:
"Hey!, be happy with your bowman base cards, you got 10 MOJOS you greedy fool!"
They should just put the 40 base cards wrapped in clear mylar, or f it, a rubber band even.

In 2017 they replaced one card (chance Adams I think) with Shohei Ohtani.

One of the factors (along with a delay in release of the 2nd batch) that made these so special.

keenejd · 05-10-2019, 03:31 PM

so what's the one or two cards to pull out of this thing? Just the franco and rodriguez base and parallel mojos?

i forget, are there autos in this?

Yup, there are autos...I think the Franco, Rodriguez and a few others will be the cards to pull, but maybe Topps will pull off a 2017 "Ohtani" and make an addition not in regular Bowman

Betting Beer will have a non 1st auto in this. Similar to Florial last year.

You need to learn a little bit more about this product. There are quite a few prospects who's chrome 1st bowman base cards sell for $5. Wander's chrome card sells for $12-$15. His base paper sells for $5. There is still value there. If it's silly, don't buy any. More for me!
