Hello
Wanted to share this with everyone, I am going to try a rip and flip with my 2012 Bowman Chrome Boxes. I was lucky enough to come across a little bit of free money and thought in the end its really a no lose situation. I am going to chronicle my transactions and see how I come out of this. Feel free to follow along here:

Its going to be tough to recoup your money........good luck! Best regards, David

I agree, I am fortunate to only have $50 out of my pocket actually in this deal. I did sell off my best card from the break and am now more then halfway there.
 
Interested to see how you do - I can think of a few boxes that at least paid for themselves, but I've also taken hits on boxes more often than not.
 
4th transaction posted. Down to having only 1 auto left.

Yup, its always a gamble. More often then not will lose out money, but wanted to give this a shot. Would have just been easier if I could have hit a Harper Super, lol.
 
I've made it 75% of the way back. I'm going to consider that a win for now, lol. But will continue to try and get to 100%. Updated to 6th transaction

I haven't gotten a Dunston Auto on EBay yet. I'm a Soler fan, and would be interested in the baby Shawon base. I don't have the Castro yet.

Feel free to shoot me a price on a Castro, a Dunston Auto if competitive with eBay, and the Solers. Might as well throw in the Garza, too, though he'll be going soon. Not sure if I'll do it. But shoot me a price on a lot of them.

Hello
Actually hit a Soler Ref Auto in my box, sold it day of release. Prices have dropped since then. I'm just going to hold onto the dunston's for now. Looking at ebay, not really wanting to sell at those prices, will probably be picking up more, lol.

Shipping $2.50

2012 Bowman Chrome Prospects #BCP120 Jorge Soler $2.00 per (4)

2012 Bowman Chrome Purple Refractor #92 Matt Garza 88/199 CHC $1.00

2012 Bowman Chrome #190 Starlin Castro CHC $.15 per (2)

or $10 DLVD for all 7 cards
