Opening Sealed Product-2022 Bowman Mega Box

-

 This happened over a month ago but I forgot to post about it. I bought one of the Bowman baseball mega boxes off the Target website and I've had relatively good success with Bowman in the past. Last year while on the road in New Mexico my kids and I hit a huge Julio Rodriguez green auto out of 99 out of a Bowman cello pack. It was a big hit then, and even bigger now since he looks like a legitimate super star. In this particular box, I hit another Mariners prospect auto, this time a green chrome on card auto also out of 99 of prospect Harry Ford, one of the Mariners' best prospects. Oddly enough, about a week before I pulled this card, my son and I attended a game in Lake Elsinore, California to see the Storm play the Mariners affiliate, and we both noticed Harry had a good approach at the plate. Hopefully down the road he ends up being a good major leaguer and this card will gain value like the Rodriguez did.

 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.
