I mean I am, If I can get a box for 60 bucks and I know that the top minor leaguers signed the cards, why not? Especially if they can do what Tristar did and offer 4 autos and 4 game used per box. 65 bucks doesn't sound too bad when you know only the signed guys are going to be signing.Chemgodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12144507101303169755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28229417.post-80087674050200386762008-07-12T16:29:00.000-04:002008-07-12T16:29:00.000-04:00Neither Razor nor Donruss have a Major League lice...Neither Razor nor Donruss have a Major League license.

Bowman single-handedly ruined many base sets over the years by just being a dumping ground for any and all "prospects" in A/AA ball who still only have about a 10% chance of making it to the big leagues. It's only common sense that a player should have a rookie card when that player makes a major-league roster. Leave minor-league cards for pure minor league sets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28229417.post-61897222976854162432008-07-12T06:40:00.000-04:002008-07-12T06:40:00.000-04:00How can this be good for the hobby?

I just enjoy opening a pack/box and seeing what's inside. One of my favorite sets is the Bowman draft pick and prospect set because it's fun. Many of those players will never ammount to anything but I enjoy it because I get cards of guys that are on their way up. Sometimes I may follow a player because of the scouting report, or it turns me on to a player I might not know about. Exclusive deals are horrible for the hobby on any level.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
