2010 Bowman Chrome Case Break

[johnm021]

First case in awhile, went with the 2010 bowman chrome case that was on sale from blowout. I'll continue updating this post after every 3 boxes. As i'm beginning to open these packs though i'm noticing a ton of the packs are bent. Nearly half my cards were bent in the first case and I just keep hoping they're none of my big hits... has any one else had this problem with bowman chrome where a lot of the cards are bent? When I stack the cards up it literally begins taking the shape of an arch... not too happy so far. The case was factory sealed and also well packaged from blowout.

I'll just post the main hits of the boxes and some scans when i'm completely done

Box 1 (not how I wanted to start out)
Simon Castro base redemption auto
Jeurys Familia rc refractor /500
Jason Kubel blue refractor /150

Box 2 (two autos at least)

Marc Krauss base rc auto
Christian Lopes USA base rc auto

Box 3
Pedro Baez base rc auto

2010 was a really bad year for quality control at Topps. Topps Chrome and Bowman Chrome had a large curl to the cards. There was also a lot of white powder on the cards that year. Had that in Bowman Platinum as well.

I've noticed some white powder as well on some of the veteran cards, not impressed at all so far

I remember reading a story about the Strasburg that they don't have anymore to be sent out. He signed XX amount and when they sent all of them out, they didn't have anymore to send. It will be replaced with something other than Strasburg.

Let me know what Will Middlebrooks you get.

Thanks

[johnm021]

Well that's it for this case, nothing too special. Overall i'm not too pleased with it. I knew going into the case that there weren't many valuable autographs and I accepted the fact that it would be either a great case or terrible case with probably no in between. I'm pretty upset with the poor condition of the cards and the number of hits per pack, certainly didn't get very many parallels/colors. Not expecting to get very much money back from this case that's for sure

Let me know if youre looking to move that Craig /50

[johnm021]

I'm looking to move the whole lot, preferably together. I just made a thread in the buying/trading section... if I can't find someone to purchase the entire lot then i'll start breaking it up

[dthimesch]

2010 Bowman Chrome was bad for bowing. They are not bent, just bowed. There is nothing wrong with it except that it just sucks with sorting/storage/etc.

Ouch rough break. I also busted a 2010 bc case a couple weeks ago and there were a ton of offcentered prospect cards but the hits were pretty good.

[johnm021]

yea it was certainly a rough break, not expecting to get back more than $100 from those hits

That is 2010 STERLING BASEBALL!!!

Folks, if you are going to put that kind of info out there please make sure it's correct. I just redeemed 2010 Chrome Strasburg auto.........


I'm buying lots of Wil Myers, Middlebrooks, Sano, Starling, Wilin Rosario, and Gary Sanchez if you want to move what you got from your case....

Wow that was a rough case. I literally was going to buy a case of that today along with the 12 redemption packs, and at the very last second went with the 2010 Bowman Platinum.

GLWS!

Lol yea I hear yea! Woulda been WELL WELL WELL worth it however if you pulled a Strasburg though! That's the gamble you take opening wax!

I like that people post breaks of this once in awhile. It helps to remind me not to order every time I have the itch for it.
