Cracking packs Road Trip Edition-2021 Bowman value packs

-

 So, I pulled something pretty cool out of a random Bowman value pack I found in a Walmart in New Mexico. My intent in going to Walmart was to restock on travel supplies for the family, but as is custom, checked the sports card shelves.  All that was left was two solitary 2021 Bowman baseball value packs. The packs with two packs inside and five camo variants.  My kids and I wanted to open something but I did not expect to pull what my son found.

Mariners top prospect Julio Rodriguez green paper auto numbered to 99. It's not a Chrome and it's not a 1st Bowman (his first was 2019) but it's an amazing hit out of a random value retail pack. Another pack also had a speckle Jake Vogel 1st Bowman, numbered to 299.

John Stockton

 One of the notoriously tough autographs to get among all modern era sports figures, I saw recently that John Stockton was going to be doing an ultra rare signing. After looking at the prices, I decided that they were on the pricey side, so instead looked into getting a card off eBay. It is often the case that signings are more expensive than getting an auto card from Panini or Topps, etc. because you can send in exactly what you want to get signed. I don't typically complain about pricing for signings, but I did observe that the cost to send in my own card was 4-5x what buying a John Stockton signed card off eBay would cost. Therefore, I found a fairly priced one and went that direction.  As you can see, I went with an Obsidian auto and this particular card is numbered /35.

 My Hall of Fame and elite quarterback train is still steaming along, as I just added a signed John Elway card to my collection. This card comes from 2023 Prestige football, is numbered /25. I saw that a lot of people were having a lot of luck with their hits in Prestige megas in retail, though the few boxes I opened were crap. I jumped into the eBay market to get this card, as card prices have come down and you can get some of these all time greats for much less than even a year ago. Honestly, I bought this card for the price of two mega boxes, so I'm not sure what I'm even doing buying sealed product in the first place.

 Much like the Dan Marino and John Elway autos I have posted about recently, I also acquired a Joe Montana Panini autographed card.  Like the Marino card, this is also a blue cracked ice numbered /75. Of the big name, all tike great QB's in the league, I believe the only one I might be missing still is Tom Brady. It might be a while yet before I find a way to get something he signed into my collection.
