2005 - Bowman Chrome Baseball - Bust #0012

The hits don’t stop, and this pack doesn’t disappoint. There are two local hobby shops I frequent. I picked this particular pack out of one of the stores “buy-one-get-one-free” box. The owner usually stocks it with stuff he can’t get rid off, but I couldn’t pass up Bowman Chrome, no matter what year or sport. I don’t remember if he had more, but I’d be kicking myself now if he did.
We take a look at the side view, but this doesn’t reveal anything. But the best is yet to come.
The Contents
316 - Carlos Gonzalez RC - Don’t look at me, I don’t know who senor Gonzalez is. Sorry!
331 - Justin Verlander RC - An autograph!! Holy Moses, that is beautiful. Detroit’s best pitcher, one of the better pitchers in the American League and a fricken autographed rookie. Throw in his no-hitter last year and this is a very nice piece of cardboard. I immediately looked the book value on this (I use Tuff Stuff) and it was showing 80 bucks. Not too shabby.
55 - Johnny Damon - Johnny is a Red Sox uni. I know that chaps a lot of people’s hides to see him in his old threads.
133 - Edgar Renteria - Two BoSox in the same pack? Is this some kind of joke?
To recap:
Pack: 2005 Bowman Chrome (Hobby)
Price: $3.50
Pulls:
316 - Carlos Gonzalez RC
331 - Justin Verlander RC Auto
55 - Johnny Damon
133 - Edgar Renteria
Verdict: Wow. Best rip so far this year. The Verlander Auto is very very nice.

@Jeremiah - Thanks, man. Trust me, I don’t have all the luck. This is probably my one good pull this year. I hope it isn’t, but if it is, it sure was fun!

That is Sweet! No telling how many people have passed over that pack since 2005.

@Joey - I’ve been thinking the same thing. The pack no one wanted turns out to be a gem.
