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.
