The Bo Bichette Thread

Topps Brooklyn-I like the set in general. Nice action shot. The blue parallel looks really nice with the Blue Jays uniform.

Topps Big League 108- Thus has a similar clean look to the Brooklyn, but with my favorite picture on any of his cards this year.

Ginter X mini- These have a fairly low print run, but I am a sucker for Tobacco-sized cards. Chrome looks strange to me on this size card, so I chose the unforgiving black borders of Ginter X as my favorite for this format.

Honorable mention to all the Stadium Clubs. I love the base as a baseball picture, but it really could be any player in the picture. I go back and forth with loving and hating the SP with the hair. The Chrome is almost great, but there is just something that looks a little off.

I like the Big League. I have the black-and-white #11/50 and would like to add a foil.

But I think the Museum Collection sapphire is the best-looking Bichette rookie. The photo is used on a couple other cards, but it works best here.

Nah, back when I bought mine shortly after release I thought I had maybe over paid, but that was before the five hit game and a lot of craziness in the hobby, especially as of late.

I would expect if I went crazy and listed mine with a $900 or $1,000 Buy it now NO OFFERS it wouldn't last more than 8 hours with how crazy things have been and might yet get...

It was a steal and a half... Hopefully it doesn't end up being a repeat of the saga of the 25/25 Series 1 Camo...

May have already been discussed, but I have wondered all year why so many of Bo’s cards use a picture of him fielding. In my opinion he has one of the coolest and most picturesque pre-swing leg lifts out there. I haven’t seen it on as many of his cards as I thought I would.

Im beyond it now. But I was very disappointed when I saw the Series 1 art. Its almost an identical shot for the one used for the BC.

Its a great looking card that I have millions of. But I wanted something else, at the time.

I've got a black and white version of the Big League as well and think it looks great. The Museum Collection does look nice. How thick is it? The Brooklyn cards are about as thick as I want from base cards. Some of the premium brands go crazy with thick card stock thinking bigger is always better.

I don’t know how thick it is. I’m not sure I’ve ever held a Museum non-auto. And I’ve been waiting to find the Bo 11/150. But I might just buy any ol’ sapphire (as in the blue Museum parallel) to have as a holdover.

If you’re looking for his signature leg-kick, this is probably the card to get.

Somebody sell me some 2016 bowman chromes �� supply’s been drying up!

Just got this back yesterday. Thought I’d share where someone might appreciate it.

VERY NICE!

I definitely missed on on my opportunity to get one for less than $100 with prices trending upward with no end in sight

Found a hanger at a Target today and pulled this:

I already had one of these, but I couldn’t resist at the price I got it for. Speaking of which, the price gives me hope that I’ll find my rainbow-completing black atomic for a palatable sum.

Bowman Sterling really doesn't get the respect it deserves in the hobby. All of their cards are really nice. I like them much more than Best.

I went on a decent run of Blue Jays teams when A&G Chrome was getting broken. I just love this product and think it's so undervalued right now. Ended up with a decent stash of Bo RCs.

I agree about Ginter Chrome. Other than a Bichette auto redemption, I haven’t bought any yet. But I keep staring at the Bichettes and Yordans.

They definitely haven’t taken off like I thought they might; it could be a case of the hobby being focused elsewhere and having to warm up to this new offering.

I’m with you on the Ginter Chromes. I have a refractor and grabbed this one a few weeks back...

I think you nailed it right there. New products rarely capture the attention of the hobby on their first, or even second, year. We like provenance and it's usually around year 3 or 4 when we know that a product is now a yearly staple that we separate the men from the boys.

I have no idea if they'll be worth anything, I just like A&G and so I'm an easy mark for A&G Chrome. I do like the seemingly limited print run on these, with just one auto per case and lots of numbered color in each case. I think the base Chromes might surprise some people.

I got lucky and threw a last second bid at an orange /25 Kyle Lewis, never actually expecting to win it, and won it for like $65. Couldn't believe it.

And you probably got that for the price of a regular Topps Chrome blue.

A little less. The seller had zero feedback and I took a chance on PayPal working in my favour as a fallback.

I just bought my dream Bichette. I’ll share it again when it’s in-hand, and maybe make it look just a little less rainbow-y...

Thanks!

It’s funny that I paid pretty much the same amount I paid for the Acuna rainbow auto a couple years ago. Times have changed...
