2010 Bowman Baseball Boxes Going Crazy On eBay

2010 Bowman baseball cards are on fire thanks to the Washington Nationals super-rookie Stephen Strasburg. At the time of this post, Strasburg has made two starts for the Nationals. In his first game against the Pittsburgh Pirates he struck out 14 batters and got his first MLB win.

In Strasburg's second start yesterday against the Cleveland Indians, he struggled just a little as he walked four batters, but he did have 8 strikeouts in 5 plus innings. There was a problem with the mound as he kept slipping. Baseball experts say that's why he had the 4 walks. The game was shown nationally on TBS and you could see in slow motion that as Strasburg finished his follow through as he was throwing a pitch, his foot would slip on the landing. VERY DANGEROUS! He could have easily pulled a leg muscle or hyper-extended his leg. So manager Jim Riggleman played it safe and got him out of there. The Nationals went on to win and Stephen strasburg got his second Major League win.

With all the buzz around Strasburg's debut, his newly released 2010 Bowman rookie card has caught fire and is selling like crazy on eBay right now. Shoot, even the 2010 Bowman baseball blaster boxes are selling well as collectors are scurrying to get a few Strasburg parallels.

I was lucky enough to find five 2010 Bowman baseball blasters so far at K-mart and ShopKo. I will continue to search for these as they are getting harder to find. I don't know if Bowman will send out another wave of these blasters to stores or not. But one thing for sure, I can't find them anymore. I have included a few pictures of my 2010 Bowman blaster boxes in this post. I'm debating on opening them but I'm not sure. Part of me wants to rip them open but another part of me wants to keep them factory sealed. Why? Well the main reason is because collectors are busting these blasters open like crazy and eventually they will dry up. So, having a few of them still factory sealed will be a good thing in the future.

Plus, there a few other nice cards in this set other than Stephen Strasburg. Players like Dustin Ackley, Jason Heyward and Daniel Nava to name a few. But as we all know, Strasburg leads the way.

2007 Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects Hobby Box

With all the spring training buzz going on about the Atlanta Braves young super prospect Jason Heyward, I decided to pick up two hobby boxes of 2007 Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects.


These boxes feature the true rookie card of Jason Heyward and could start catching fire if he makes the big club and does well. all indications are that he is lighting it up in spring training and it looks good that Jason Heyward may start the 2010 baseball season with the Atlanta Braves, rather than the Minor Leagues.

As of today, Jason Heyward's spring training stats are as follows. He is batting .455 with 10 hits in 22 at bats, with 1 home run and 5 RBI. He also has 4 doubles. This kid just has the look of a big league player. Click here to see his follow through at the plate. I know it is only spring training, but this kid looks like the real deal and that's why I picked up the hobby boxes mentioned above.

It could be a shot in the dark, but if you are thinking about picking up a few of these boxes yourself, you better do it now before they start sky-rocketing in price. Of course Jason Heyward could end up hitting .200 and totally tank, as we all know life is full of risks. But hey! That's what makes collecting sports card so much fun. Looking for the next big rookie to collect!

2009-10 Panini Certified Materials Basketball just released

2009-10 Panini Certified Materials basketball was just released a few days ago. February 17, 2010 to be exact.

And not to anyone's surprise, Panini has produced an outstanding basketball product once again. Hobby boxes of this recent release are selling well already on eBay.

Each hobby box has 10 packs with 5 cards per pack. And on average, each 2009-10 Panini Certified box has 4 autograph or memorabilia cards.

And you have the potential of pulling some great cards of some top super stars. For example, you can pull NBA Prime Die-cuts of LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jerry West, Bill Russell, Tim Duncan and Dwyane Wade. A very solid product from Panini.

I Picked Up Two 2009-10 Panini Limited Basketball Hobby Boxes

I purchased two hobby boxes of 2009-10 Panini Limited basketball over the weekend from Blowoutcards.com. The Panini Limited basketball boxes are on fire right now! So I had to get a few before they go up in price even more.

If you have read my other posts on this blog, you will know that when I purchase hobby boxes, I don't even open them. I just leave them factory sealed and put away.

The Panini Limited basketball boxes I purchased cost me $84.99 per. So, only time will tell if I made a good purchase or not. Because, like I said above, these will remain factory sealed. It will be interesting to see what these will be selling for a year from now.

I think Panini Limited will hold it's value simply because of the 2009 NBA rookie class. Rookie cards of Tyreke Evans, Blake Griffin, Brandon Jennings, Ty Lawson and James Harden make 2009-10 Panini a winner in the long run, imo.

Plus, you can't go wrong with the chance at Kobe Bryant autos and memorabilia cards that are randomly inserted into packs as well. A really nice product, in my opinion. I will post pictures of these factory sealed boxes after I receive them in the mail.

Below are 2009-10 Panini Limited Basketball box breaks on YouTube.



Tyreke Evans 2009-10 Panini Limited MOJO!

Mail Day! I received my 09-10 Panini basketball boxes today.

I was pumped today to finally get my basketball boxes in the mail that I had ordered.

As I mentioned in the post above, I ordered a box of 2009-10 Panini Limited basketball and a box of 2009-10 Panini Rookies & Stars Longevity basketball. I took some pictures of the boxes and have added them here in this post.

I will never see what AUTO and Memorabilia cards I got inside these Panini basketball boxes because I will not be opening them. I will keep them factory sealed and put away. But from what I've seen of the box break videos on YouTube, these Panini Limited cards are really nice. And, oh yeah, I have another box of Panini Limited that should be here next tuesday (Feb 16, 2010).

2009-10 Panini Rookies & Stars Longevity Basketball Hobby Box

I'm into everything Panini basketball right now. As you may have seen in another one of my posts on this blog, I picked up two 2009-10 Panini Limited hobby boxes.

Well, I also picked up one box of 2009-10 Panini Rookies & Stars Longevity basketball hobby. Looks like a very nice basketball card product.

I also purchased this Panini hobby box from Blowoutcards.com. I paid $42.99 for the box. Too much? Great deal? Only time will tell if I made a wise purchase. I know one thing. I won't be opening this box. I know I say this every time I post a new box pick up on this blog, but I just don't open boxes. I just keep them factory sealed and put away.

2009-10 Bowman '48 Basketball Hobby Box. 3 Autographs Per Box

My recent basketball card purchase is a 2009-10 Bowman '48 basketball hobby box. These boxes are very popular due to the fact that there are 3 autograph cards in every box.

There are 24 packs per box and 8 cards per pack. A real nice basketball product by Bowman.
These 2009-10 Bowman '48 boxes contain some real nice rookie cards from the 2009 NBA draft. The possible pulls from this box are the Tyreke Evans rookie card, Brandon Jennings rookie card, Blake Griffin rookie card, Jonny Flynn rookie card and more.

Speaking of Blake Griffin, he will now miss the rest of his 2009-10 rookie season due to his knee injury. God, I hope he's not another Greg Oden and ends up injured all the time.
