Bowman Draft Picks and Prospects Blaster

I was at the Wal-Mart this morning looking for packing supplies (I just sold a couple of old textbooks on half.com), and found the last remaining blaster box of 2007 Bowman Draft Picks and Prospects. I know BDP&P sucks, but it was either that or a Blaster of Topps '52 Rookies.

By the way, the only major difference between retail and Hobby is that the stated odds of finding an Autographed Chrome Prospect is 1:575 retail packs -- as opposed to one-per-box in Hobby. Then again, real collectors have never considered the Autographed Chrome Prospects part of the set anyway.

N.B. All base cards are green bordered (unless noted) and all Prospects are blue. But you knew that already.

Here goes nothing...

Notes:

• Reason #237 why "bundling" BDP&P with BowChro DP&P sucks: In two of the eight packs, I received the same card in both regular and Chrome. (One of which happened to be Barry Bonds.)



• In all eight packs, the one-per-pack Gold parallel was of a Prospect.


• And yes, I got a JOBA!!!! RC. JOBA!!!!-mania is indeed, running wild in The Hobby, brother.

All sixteen of the Prospects this Blaster yielded, were ones I needed for my set. Everything else is available for trade if anyone wants them.
