Pack #12 - 2007 Bowman Baseball

(Retail pack)
My cost: $2.99

When I first started collecting sports cards, baseball was my main focus in the hobby. It was right at the time when the Big Mac/Sosa homerun race was going on, the Cleveland Indians were actually good (I lived in Parma, Ohio at the time, which is a Cleveland suburb), and I enjoyed the game.........not to say that the game isn't fun anymore......BUT....football has become my main focus.

Soo; every once in a while, I like to return to the roots of my collecting habit and open a pack of baseball cards. This is a pack that I've had for awhile and the only reason I bought it is because of the proclamation that they are the "Home of the Rookie Card". I was expecting more than what I got..............

[Card #1] Gold BP #92 Neil Sellars
[Card #2] Red #77 Justin Morneau[Card #3] Blue BCP #40 Mike Devaney

[Card #4] Red #96 Todd Helton

[Card #5] Red #57 Jose Video

[Card #6] Green #208 Joaquin Arias(RC)
[Card #7] Blue BCP #65 Ray Aguilar[Card #8] Red #50 Ryan Howard
[Card #9] White BP #99 Adam Bass

[Card #10]White BP #13 Brennan Boesch



OK...Honestly, I have to admit that the whole color thing has thrown me for a loop. Looking the cards up in the price guide and trying to figure out the value of this pack gave me a splitting headache. Not to mention.....is a Bowman Prospect a rookie card??????????or are they just trying to draw a fine line between confusing me and really pissing me off!!!!!!!




Current Value of Cards: $7.50 (I think????)
