Live Break Tonight

For those of you who were involved in the 2010 Bowman Chrome break, I FINALLY got our redemption packs in the mail. I don't know how exciting this news it to anyone but I figured I would do the break live so whoever wants to see it live can.

I honestly don't plan on scanning each card, but may do groups of cards after the break. One at a time just doesn't interest me and I can bet half of you don't care either.

We have 12 packs here to open so it shouldn't be more than 10 minutes or so to do. I will set up a live video on UStream sometime after 11pm. But if you can't make it the cards will be posted on the blog.

I think we will just do this by teams as well, I think that is the easiest way to go and with 12 packs there should be something for everyone. As far as shipping these cards... if you are participating in the Gypsy Queen break I am going to put these cards in with those unless you want to pay for separate shipping.

If you aren't in the Gypsy Queen break, I am asking each person who has cards in this break to send $2.00 for shipping. If you want to send a SASE bubble mailer that's fine too, but I think it will be cheaper to just send me the $ rather than paying to mail nothing.

Bowman Chrome USA autograph drawing results

I just did the live drawing for the Team USA autographs out of the case of Bowman Chrome. I put all 12 teams with no hits higher than a blue refractor into the list generator, teams that came up number 1 and 2 won the auto's. You can watch the drawing by clicking here, just excuse my stupidity as well as the shoddy camera work.

Here is the screen shot in case you don't care to watch me fumble with the whole thing.


You can click to enlarge the screen shot. The teams came up 1. cards, and 2. blue jays.

Hope you guys had fun with the break.

2010 Bowman case break results

I know many of you are anxious to see your cards in person, so I did the next best thing- I scanned all the hits so that you can check out the centering and stuff before they get there.

There are roughly 50 Team USA cards, and one refractor. Each team that did not get a hit is guaranteed to get one, maybe two. I can do a drawing one of two ways for the USA auto refractors, either on UStream live with a hat and everyones team name in there and draw one, or by random.org live. I don't think it matters either way. The drawing for those cards will also be amongst the teams with no hits. I can do the drawing tomorrow at some point and the video can be linked on here.

Here are the hits:

Topps 100 /999

Topps 100 /499

Blue refractors

Gold refractor /50

Orange refractor /25

Team USA auto refractors /199

Refractor Auto's

Regular auto's

Aroldis Chapman auto
Miguel Sano auto

Jason Kipnis redemption auto

That pretty much sums up the break, overall I think people will be pleased because each team seemed to have picked up a nice pile of cards (Ironically, the Cardinals amounted to about 10... so I got owned, lol).

I am working on sorting them out and this way I can see where the USA cards are going and then we can do the Auto raffle. If you guys want to do it tonight late, maybe around 11pm or 12am I can probably do that, or we can do it tomorrow.

Please see the post about the 2011 Topps Jumbo case which I am currently trying to fill. Some teams were already claimed and paid for, so jump in quick..
