A Year Late, But Almost 4 Bucks Better

If you've been following my blog, then you know about the repack that I bought at Wal-Mart a few days ago. If you missed it, you can read about it here and here.

Well, not only did I get a repack, I also got a discounted rack pack of 2012 Bowman. So if you live near a Wal-Mart go take a look, because I also saw discounted rack packs of 2012 A&G as well as 2012 Topps Football among others.

If you can read the red sticker, you'll notice that it was 36% off, so instead of $9.48, it only cost me $5.98. Which is probably what it should be in the first place.

On the back of the rack pack it states:

This Pack Contains 33 Cards:

Three 10-card Bowman Baseball Card Packs

-Plus-

1 Bonus Pack of 3 Exclusive Purple Parallel Cards

 

 

So let's start with the 3 packs, saving the Exclusive Purple Parallel Cards for last.

 

Pack 1

 

153 - Elvis Andrus (Rangers)

11 - Brett Gardner (Yankees)

183 - James Loney (Dodgers)

BPA-MO - Mike Holt (Rangers) Auto

 

Well this is a nice surprise! I rarely get autos in packs.

 

BP68 - Jeff Malm (Rays)

 

 

BP93 - Brandon Jacobs (Red Sox)

159 - David Ortiz (Red Sox)

 

Two Red Sox in a row!!

 

185 - Jason Werth (Nationals)

 

 

Now it's time for the "3 Exclusive Purple Parallel Cards!"

 

 

BP33 - Matthew West (Rangers)

 

 

BP20 - Robby Price (Rays)

 

 

BP31 - Nick Maronde (Angels)

 

If I was a Giants or Rangers team collector, I'd probably be singing the praises of Bowman. I got a fair amount of Red Sox too, and I was happy to get the Jacobs card because I don't have one of him yet. So yeah, it was worth the six bucks for me.
