Ok, card collector types...so I have a box of Bowman Inception Baseball to break and Review. This is an all auto set, pretty high end, so I'm pumped

to rip it.

So I check the checklist just to see what I could potentially pull and I just realized that in the entire set...there are no Cardinals in this set.

A major release that features not even 1 player from the best team in baseball right now. Does that seem possible?

Or has Cardinal fatigue set in with the card companies now too?

Does that noise go off every time you open a pack? -- nm - Tim Jul 21, 08:59
Is it active players or farmhands? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 21, 08:58 3
- Looks like a lot of farmhands. Which is even more surprising to me. -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 09:02 2
  - Bowman generally is prospect heavy though, right? -- nm - Tim Jul 21, 09:06 1
    - yes -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 09:08
are all the cards just Bryce and Trout? -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 08:57 22
- There's a lot of prospects in the set. And I guess, since all the Cardinals prospects are in the bigs right now, they get nothing. -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 08:58 21
  - well, you have no Oscar Tavares anymore. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 09:06 20
    - I guess. We do, however, have most of our prospects on the MLB roster right now, I guess that's not prospect-y enough. -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 09:18 19
      - none are really the bright and shiny ones. -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 09:18 18
        
        Apparently not. I would have thought Piscotty would have been the guy in this set. -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 09:21 17
        
        Maybe he didn't return the cards...happens. - Will Hunting Jul 21, 09:22 12
        
        Possible. Either way, it's a 1-pack, 5-card box. 4 Autographs and 1 Auto-Relic. Some good names in here... - Jim Jul 21, 09:24 11
        
        wait. 1 pack in the box with 5 cards and that is it? -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 09:25 10
        
        5 autographed cards. - Will Hunting Jul 21, 09:26
        
        Yep. Retail price is right around $80. -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 09:26 8
        
        side note: do you record your openings and post them to Youtube? people will watch that -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 09:28 5
        
        He does. More would watch if he would wear some clothes, though. -- nm - Spawn Jul 21, 09:36 2
        
        you kidding me, nekkid is the only way to review cards. -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 09:39 1
        
        I watch mainly becuase you make me feel better about myself. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 21, 09:43
        
        I sure do. vannestjc is the username for the video breaks. Then I post up written reviews over at BOP. -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 09:30 1
        
        cool -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 09:32
        
        good Lord. -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 09:28 1
        
        Yeah, this is a pretty nice mid-high end set. -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 09:30
        
        that is not a baseball name, that is a cookie you dip in coffee. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 09:21 3
        
        You'll get to see a lot of him starting tonight. You can tell me what you think. :) -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 09:23 2
        
        What? The only time the two teams played was a couple of weeks ago and we swept. - spamlet Jul 21, 09:28 1
        
        But what if you sweep again? -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 09:31
I'd argue that there are no superstars on the Cardinals is the bigger problem. - spamlet Jul 21, 08:56 3
- I'm really surprised there's no Wacha in the set -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 08:58 2
  - he is still under the radar, for the most part. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 09:06
  - Yeah, I guess he'd be the closest. -- nm - spamlet Jul 21, 08:59
Odd. I'm surprised they wouldn't have at least one from every team. Get those guys that have to get the one auto from their team. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 08:56 1
- Apparently, there are also no Rays in the set. And only 1 player each from the Brewers and Braves. The hell man? -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 08:57
