I keep an ongoing thread of my Bowman's Best Boxes I have opened on another cite. I just opened the best box I have ever opened.
Here's my post from the other cite. Most fun me and my son have ever had opening a box:
2021 Bowman’s Best Box (11/14/2022)
Purchased for $299.99
I bought a box of Bowman’s Best, it was quite frankly the best box I have ever opened. Every pack either hat a nice insert or a good rookie in it.
Each Master box contains two mini boxes, each mini box has 6 packs and 5 cards per pack. Each mini-box has two autographs. Each pack has a refractor as the last card in the pack and the next to last card in each pack is the autograph or an insert. In most packs the first 3 cards are base cards, however, every-so-often (I believe 2 of the six packs or 4 of the 12 packs) the third card is an insert as well. Almost all packs are: Card 1: Base; Card 2: Base; Card 3: Base (sometimes insert/parallel), Card 4: always insert, Card 5: always refractor. Thus you should get 4 Autos, 12 Refractors, and approximately 12 other inserts/parallels, leaving 32 base cards. This is how this box stacked up
Base: Received 32 Cards
Highlights: 1 Trout ($10) 4 Judge ($5) 22 Jordan ($6) 26 Chisolm ($10) 27 Kelenic ($5) 31 India ($8) 34 Petty ($4) 49 Julio Rodriguez ($30); 51 Austin Martin ($6) 52 Acuna ($4) 65 Mountcastle ($8) 68 Dalbec ($4) 81 Gimenez ($3) 88 Ford ($10) 96 Soto ($4)
32 Cards Received (No doubles – which is my favorite) valued at $142.25
(almost ½ of which were $3 or more)
Refractors: Received 12 cards
As stated above you should get 12 “base” refractors (not colored), I received 12: Highlights
25 Rutschman ($8); 39 Lawler ($12); 41 Dominguez ($15); 64 Carlson ($5); 67 Ohtani ($10); 91 Gilbert ($4); 95 Perez ($5)
12 cards Received valued at $70.00
Colors – Refractors Received 2 Cards
I received 1 Atomic Refractor and quite frankly couldn’t ask for anything better: Wander Franco $120.00
I received 1 RED #’d 05/10 of Akil Baddoo, there is not a book value on this card, the Gold version is #’d of 50 and is valued at $15.00, the orange #’d to 25 is $25.00…. for purposes of this analysis I will say $50.00 for the Baddoo
Two Colored Refractors valued at $170.00
Future Vibrance (1:3 Packs – Should receive 4)
Highlights:
Kelenic ($5), Colmenarez ($6) Perez ($4); House ($8)
I also received an Atomic Future Vibrance which is 1:48 Packs: Heston Jkerstad ($8)
That five future vibrance valued at $27.00
Heatwave Diecuts
(Of the set these are my favorites, the cards are inserted 1:6, so I should get two and I got two)
Tatis $8.00 Mike Trout $12.00 (2 cards for $20.00)
I also received a Lava (insert rate: ?/? #’d of 50); Colton Cowser $60
Three Heatwave Die-cuts valued at $80.00
Rookie Craftsmanship (1 in 18 packs, I received 1)
Kelenic $6.00
1 card $6.00
Masterpieces (1 in 18 packs, I received 1)
Wander Franco $20.00
Autographs (Should receive 4, I received 4)
As if the above wasn’t good enough, this is where it gets really good.
Autograph 1: Eduardo Garcia $12.00
Autograph 2: Taylor Walls $6.00
Autograph 3: (GOLD #’d of 50: Bryan Ramos ($30.00)
Autograph 4: Heatwave Die Cut Spencer Torkleson (#’d 150) $400.00
4 Autographs worth $448.00 (just the autos covered the cost of the box)
Final Analysis:
Best box I think I have ever opened. Assuming $50 for the Baddoo (#’d to 10) there are 60 cards valued at $967.00, no doubles.
My normal analytics: 60 Cards $967.25 Paid: $300.00 Net +$667.25 $16.21/card 50% of the cards were base cards. ROI: 222%
Great Job Topps!
