First case was great, second was okay, let's see how 3 and 4 go this week.

kingb22 · 10-16-2023, 02:39 PM

Opened a case, and must say that I love this product. It even spurred me into looking back at my 2022 and 2021 versions to look back at the Prospects I'd saved - found some guys like Dillon Gabriel to go and list. This case cost me $1200 all-in - I'd definitely do it again.

Top Hits:
Shedeur Sanders /99 Auto + Blue /199 Refractor
#'d autos of Pinnix and Dillon Gabriel
Marvin Harrison base auto

I also saw a few of the on-card autos at my LCS but didn't pull - they look awesome.

Only opened one box and got a yellow Travis Hunter auto /75. Can't complain.

As the appointed martyr for the nation of BUClam, I felt it only right to place forth my skekels on a sealed case.

I suggest placing your orders now as I slowroll bountiful hauls of the dishonorable prophet Korey Foreman.

Opened 10 boxes, seemed like a hit in every box. I did notice collation of the 1-100 was 2-3 per pack (depending on inserts/auto/Ref) and the last card was 101-200. No pack had more than one card in the 101-200 range. Not sure if it is more support for the sp theory or just certain cases run this way while others are the opposite.

Dang off of 10 boxes you killed it.

DrZman · 10-17-2023, 08:22 AM

Yeah some real bang for your buck for 10 boxes there, well done! Opened 2 more myself, not much to worth posting other than this final hit that’s easily my best so far, numbered /25. Still got another box left to open and 2 more from fanatics whenever they decide to actually ship, will report back.

That's beautiful

RollBamaRoll · 10-17-2023, 04:38 PM

My 1 box finally showed up from Topps. Feel like I did ok. 👍

Fenway55 · 10-17-2023, 08:38 PM

Here's the best 8 autos from 2 cases, and a true (non-auto) 1/1. Not bad, but I'll have to go to eBay to get Williams, Penix and Harrison.

Edit: I’m getting the same 2:1 ratio as everyone else. I also pulled a Klubnik AI refractor.

That's an amazing break!

Looks like Shedeur superfractor pulled

Very solid!

fidrych · 10-18-2023, 09:38 AM

My apologies if this has been asked earlier in the thread.

Based on similar BU releases, will the long term hold on this wax or the cards themselves hold up fairly well once product releasees with players in NFL uniforms?

Thanks in advance

Nowhere near enough data to figure that out yet. We are just now getting some of those longer tenure college players from 21 into the NFL. I personally don’t think senior year 1sts are going to hold up as much as freshman or sophomore year firsts.

Tough to gauge. Travis Hunter and Shadeur Sanders probably won't get NFL uniform cards until Summer 2025.

I would love for Bowman U 1sts to have similar impacts on football cards, because prospecting and speculation is tons of fun. But the football card world is weird thanks to long term Panini exposure, so I don't know how it'll be adopted long term.

This is true. It will take years to undo the damage Poopnini caused.

SethMurphy · 10-18-2023, 01:36 PM

I must be BUCn crazy. Picked up two boxes at the LCS today. Total now up to 3 boxes.

Nothing too exciting. Grant Wells auto again but color this time, /399 I believe. WR from Oregon refractor auto. Drake Maye XFractor best card otherwise. I still enjoy this stuff even though I’m hitting nothing of value. Will rip third box in a bit I’m currently sitting in the school pickup line
