In late April when 2017 Bowman hit the streets there was little publicity around the retail-only Target-exclusive Mega Box that was slated to be released. Topps had been issuing retail-only mega boxes with some previous releases, namely Topps Update. Typically, in those release, these boxes contained five base packs along with two exclusive chrome packs.

In 2017 Bowman Mega Boxes, each box contained two base 2017 Bowman packs along with two Mega Box exclusive packs. These packs contain four Mega Box (Mojo) refractors and one Mega Box insert refractor. These refractors came in four parallels: Purple (serial numbered to 250), Green (serial numbered to 99), Orange (serial numbered to 25) and Black (serial numbered to 1).

Shohei Otani

Perhaps the most interesting inclusion in the 2017 Bowman Mega Boxes was a card that was not available in regular release of 2017 Bowman: Shohei Otani. If you are not familiar with Otani, who has been drawing comparisons to Babe Ruth, is a Japanese player who posted a 1.86 ERA along with a 10-4 record, while batting .322 with 22 HR and 67 RBI last season.

Not only is the inclusion of Otani in the product a mystery, since he was not included in the regular release, but how he was included in the product, as Topps does not have a license to include him in any products. Topps owns licensing rights for a players on Major League Baseball 40-man rosters and players who were on the roster for the World Baseball Classic. Otani was originally on the Japan roster for the WBC, but was scratched and replaced due to an injury.

Shortly after the Mega Boxes started to appear on shelves at Target, collectors started to notice they were becoming increasingly difficult to find. Rumors and speculation have been swirling on message boards that the product was pulled off the shelf by Topps due to the legal issues surrounding Otani being included in the product without licensing.

Short Supply

This has resulted in the product being in very short supply, and like with most every other Bowman Chrome product, in very high demand among the collecting community. All of this added with the inclusion of Otani’s first English card has caused a price explosion on the secondary market. Almost a perfect storm for collectors and flippers: Short Supply + High Demand. Based on the odds with in the packs, Topps created around 150,000 packs or 75,000 Mega Boxes using the math that 100 cards in the set, Purple Refractors are numbered to 250 are seeded 1:6 packs (100 x 250 x 6). Rumors have said that Topps is currently sitting on 25,000 to 40,000 boxes in their warehouses. Meaning that we have only seen around 33% to 50% of the product opened, which has helped fuel the short supply perception.

Secondary Market

The first BGS 10 Pristine Black Label sold for $1,600 on eBay. While BGS 9.5 and PSA 10 versions are becoming more affordable as more are being listed on eBay, this card has the potential to be a landmark card if and when Otani makes the move to the states and Major League Baseball. Along with the Otani singles, the prices of the sealed boxes have skyrocketed in price. With a MSRP of $14.99, boxes can be found on the secondary market for around $130 each.

Topps has been relatively quiet on the entire issue or if this product will be released again. In the event that they product is ever re-released, the secondary market prices on this product would definitely tank. Until then, ride the wave.

Well, that was quick!

The 2013 Bowman Chrome Yasiel Puig Superfractor Auto has been pulled and sold. BlowOutCards.com forum member TSJCT pulled the card yesterday, September 28th, and has confirmed that the card was sold to a buyer in California for an undisclosed amount of money.

Speculation is that SBay Cards was the purchaser to include the card in one of their upcoming Super Box releases.

Until we know the exact fate of the card. Just enjoy the beauty of the card:

One week after the release of 2011 Bowman Baseball, here is a small glimpse into some of the recent eBay sales for the autograph inserts in the product.

The very first 2010 Bowman Chrome Bryce Harper USA Buyback Auto has landed on eBay. The seller has it online with a BIN of $3,000. As you can see from the gallery, the buyback autos feature an on-card auto on the front and are machine numbered to 100 on the back. These cards are only available through the wrapper redemption from Topps.

Here is a look at a cumulative look at all of the 2010 Bowman Chrome Baseball Prospect Autograph sales through the first full weekend of release. There has been 1200+ sales since its release last Wednesday, and I have accumulated each of the sales via eBay and put them together for you to get an idea on which Prospect Autographs are selling the best, at product release.

There are 39 total autographs inserted in this release, I have been unable to find any sales data for BCP217 Noel Arguelles, so I am guessing he was left out of the product. Also, this list does not include any USA Autographs – that data will be looked at later.

Of the 41 autographs inserted, 15 of them are currently going for under $5 on average. 35% of the inserted autographs yield a 10% return on your box price, if you bought-in at $50 per box. On the opposite end of the spectrum, 5 of the autographs inserted are currently selling for $20 or more, on average. Shelby Miller, Miguel Sano, Gary Sanchez, Aroldis Chapman, and Stephen Strasburg.

You can click the table row headings to sort the data for that row. If a cell has a $0.00 represented in it, it means there was no sales data accumulated for that particular card.

Comprehensive List of Sale

With each new Bowman (or Bowman Chrome) release, there is much anticipation around the heralded Superfractor chase within that product. A single card produced that creates hysteria and chaos among collectors hunting down the cards. This year the Superfractors are inserted 1 in every 48,000 packs, or roughly 1 in every 222 cases! A very tough pull.

[phpbay]2010 Bowman Chrome box, 15[/phpbay]

On the heels of announcing that Topps had signed an exclusive agreement with 2010 Number 1 Draft Pick, Bryce Harper, Topps announced today their plans for including Harper in some of their upcoming products.

2011 Bowman

Harper will make his first appearance as a Washington National in 2011 Bowman. In addition, Harper will sign autographs for this release.

2010 Bowman Chrome

Harper will be added to the recently-announced Autographed 2010 Bowman Chrome USA BUYBACK program. Cards will be sequentially numbered with foil stamping to 100 and will also include James Taillon, Yasmani Grandal, Drew Pomeranz, Michael Choice, Christian Colon, Manny Machado and Bryce Brentz. These on-card autographs will be available via redemption.

2010 Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects

Harper’s 2009 AFLAC Autographed cards will be inserted into packs of 2010 Bowman DP&P. Each of Harper’s on-card autographs from the 2009 AFLAC All-American Game will be sequentially numbered with foil stamping.

After just one game. Well, two if you count tonight’s pinch hit appearance. Dom Brown’s 2008 Bowman Chrome Prospect has surged in the last 24 hours, with single cards closing at $20.50 and even $18.40, his prices have seemingly quadrupled over night. Earlier in the week, the same card was selling for $3.75 and even $1.80.

Not a bad return on investment.

Without a doubt, the only person to receive more hype in their young career than Stephen Strasburg is Bryce Harper. Fresh off consensus 2010 Golden Spikes award, given out to the years best amateur player, and his Number 1 overall selection by the Washington Nationals in this year’s MLB Draft, this 17-year-old phenom has caught the eyes of the media and made believers out of many baseball fans.

When Topps announced the addition of the USA set in their 2010 Bowman release, collectors began to speculate about the possibilities of Haper being included in the set – and the possibilities of the Harper Superfractor.

Harper has had previously released USA themed cards released by Upper Deck in 2008 and 2009, along with a promotional 2009 Bowman AFLAC card handed out at the 2008 AFLAC All-American game. Not until now, has anyone released a real “chase” card like the Superfractor.

The 2010 Bowman Chrome USA Bryce Harper Superfractor is currently (back) on eBay. Much like it’s much publicized Strasburg counterpart, it’s original listings were all ended due to improper and false bidding. The current auction, at $4,600 with the reserve not met, is just a fraction of what the Strasburg superfractor sold for. Red refractor version of Harper, which are numbered to 5, have been selling anywhere from $2,200 (ungraded) to $13,000 (BGS Pristine).

This card certainly has the potential of reaching near-Strasburgian heights in regards to price, however, I am not sure how well the price will maintain once Harper is included in a Draft version of Bowman, presumably at the end of this year. Hopefully, as an autographed version.
