My luck on Series 2 has me deep sighing and being sad. That Heavy Lumber I pulled in Series 1 really had me throwing good money after bad for awhile now :p. I did finally get a Statue of Liberty card - a Yankee rookie, which seems to be one of the better non-Brewer players you could get with that background.

Nice!! Print run of 209 so could be a nice long term hold

I ripped 4 series 2 hobby boxes that I ordered from Fanatics and very disappointed. Two of the boxes had four base only packs in them. I would expect one or two in a box, but four packs without as much as a base insert was very disppointing. The hobby jumbo I ripped a couple of days ago was ok. The auto was an '89 Jung-Hoo Lee. I've got a couple more hobby jumbos on the way, but I wish I'd spent the money from the hobbies on hangers.

When ordering from fanatics buy their monster boxes. They load them since Fanatics owns everything.

I bought 3 Bowman blasters yesterday at Target and 1 had Agustin Ramirez/99 1st auto. The second had a /99 Termarr Johnson and rookie card /299 the 3rd box was mediocre. So I think it's just hit or miss. Not necessarily waves.

The Blues are crazy hard to tell. They should simply number them. Another great rip and warning to avoid the Bowman Blasters if they restock. My local WalMart section is so tiny, to have any S2, they better not restock Bowman. We only got one round of Topps Chrome Platinum. Luckily, I've ordered some hangers from Best Buy and a few Megas from Target. The Megas come tomorrow, looking forward to them. Have you done Megas vs Blasters or Hangers? 100 bucks each would probably end with disaster for Megas...

@westernnycards yeah those are killers just because an aqua in every pack just increases your odds of a good one. I got my only Elly parallel (purple holo) out of my last pack of my 2nd of 2. Made me gamble on 4 more at an inflated price. Decent, mainly for the aquas. Good luck with the Megas!

Unfortunately, I can. What does Rubin know about running a card company? “Let’s get EVERYTHING big out there so people buy a ton! What’s your question, you worry about the 2nd and 3rd printings? That’s the consumers problem, not ours!” That’s how I expect fanatics HQ to sound like lol

Sometimes I think it would be fun to stop ripping on a GREAT card, but a great card just makes me want to buy more. Ending in flames helps it really end, lol.

This is exactly how last year went also. IMO, It’s definitely done intentionally…..KZreader’s hype the first wave with all the hits, then when the “working man” jumps in the second wave is full of garbage and duplicates in the same box. Topps knows what they are doing and using KZreadrs to drive their sales.
