2012 Bowman Junmbo Insanity 8 Case Player Draft - LOCK IT IN!

[otmack2o]

I am looking to sell all of my picks are trade up! Please PM me offers if interested.

[bigsmoot2]

Nice work Houdini, sounds like a plan.

Just so folks are updated on the lucky redemptions (If you didn't already know), #1 is a Cespedes auto, #2 is a Harper auto, and #3 is TBA. All #'d /100, I believe, so just an FYI if you are planning on drafting those spots!

[texgator]

Before we get too far in the drafting we should probably wait for Houdini to update the draft order. There have been a ton of trades and we wouldn't want any confusion.


Great job with redoing the slots, Houdini....I can't think of anything I would change. Thanks.

I have received some good offers on pick 2, so good that I'm willing to listen to more!!

How many Jumbo wrappers do you need to get one of the blue wave packs? Anyone know?

All I have been able to find is this so far:

2012 Bowman Baseball
Hobby Wrapper Redemption

Redeem 24 Hobby Wrappers for a 5 card pack of the 110 card Bowman Prospects in an all new Blue Wave Parallel. Look for special refractors, Red Wave Autographs #/25 and Blue Wave Autographs #/50 randomly inserted. Address information will be posted when available.


I would assume that they will run something similar for a jumbo box so 12 packs will probably do the trick for 1 5 card pack. Maybe someone with a twitter account can tweet topps to find out ... they seem pretty good with responding these days.

[texgator]

Yeah...that's all I've been able to find, too. Thanks.

[zpk35]

Houdini - I sent you my list for pick 31.

[texgator]

I have picks 172-228-230-239-240....FS $60 OBO....also willing to trade if anyone is interested.

[Andrew Jones]

I'm willing to move back from 52 and/or 60 for the right deal so if someone in the 70s-90s is interesting in a 2+ for 1 to move up to one of those slots, feel free to shoot me a PM.

[hester72598]

[pskell02]

I confirm. Thanks for the deal and good luck with pick #52.

[pskell02]

Have picks 50, 52, 104, and 108. Looking to move up. The higher the pick, the better the package.

[houdini]

updating trades now....

[bigsmoot2]

Here is info on the wrapper redemption, pretty cool:

[houdini]

The op is updated, it was only missing a few trades anyway.

[Bjsportscards77]

looking to buy back into the break.... if you looking to move you spot in the top 30 let me know

[houdini]

If anyone thinks they will be running out of the packs for the wrapper redemption quickly, you're crazy. Still, just don't draft those spots.

If you do draft those spots and want to pay additional shipping, I can ship them to you in say 24 hours after the break.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL I SEND THE WRAPPERS IN FOR YOU.

Gosh Houdini, you're being so difficult! I expect hand delivery!

They will be getting a nasty phone call if they are not received by the end of the week.

I apologize once again for this long delay, I would like to close this break already but cant due to Topps's negligence.

Click the big black picture, it will lead you to the recording I took

I just got off the phone with Topps, they are looking into the matter and will be emailing me as soon as they have an answer. I was told they are out of Topps Chrome packs (I think we all knew that already) and Bowman Chrome redemption packs have been sent in there place. I spoke with a very nice women on the phone who assured me everything would be made right. SO finally we have some good news. Hopefully Topps comes through on this one.

I will post the email as soon as I receive it.

I understand your frustration Troybuilts. Topps still has not sent any packs my way (besides the 2 Topps Chrome redemption packs) As you know multiple calls have been made to no avail. As suggested by a MOD I will continue to call them until they come through with the packs they owe this group break.
