Bowman Platinum is a retail only product - probably available in Walmart, Target, etc.... The cards look great. The front is a combination of high def player pic and a colorful background combined with some black.... sharp looking cards. The cards will be a bit condition sensitive with black on a portion of the edges of the cards along with the foil type feeling. The reverse is simple with easy to read names, numbers, and a Platinum Moment - either batting or pitching.

Bowman Platinum is an excellent issue for the set builder and the rookie/prospect collector. 100 cards of each is a good number for a set. One should be able to theoretically build a set of each with as few as 3 boxes - if the collation is in your favor.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Bowman Platinum - build the set - especially the prospects - put it up for a couple of years - crack it open and check for gold!

Overall grade A+ ... good looking cards!

Go buy several boxes and send the Rays prospects and Rays parallels to me!

Again, nice product. And you know your teasing me.....I have got to start stock-piling some quality Rays stuff.

I do want to say, I don't open much at all, so I do enjoy seeing these breaks of the product. Thanks for doing it.....I get to satisfy the craving for breaking by seeing other's results.

"quality Rays stuff" right.... very little out there... there ain't no quality Rays!!! The Rays traded nearly all the quality...

True, but what about Longo.....oh wait. Oh, well there is Odorizzi....oh, uhm, wait. Maybe uhm, uh, Carl Crawford? Oh wait, I know, there is that Archer kid, that uhm, they will probably trade soon.
Guess I need to start watching for Snell and get them to you before the next few years are up.

Is Baldelli still around??????? How about Wade Boggs?? Canseco??

Are you trying to say the cubbard is bare?

That Platinum box was pretty loaded compared to mst I've seen or read about. I bought 1 blaster & 2 fat packs, hit nada in the blaster but the 2 fats I pulled a purple Bryant /250 & a Bryant Platinum Presence purple /250. Really won't be buying anymore of this stuff except singles I may need or want.
