I really love the "on the card" auto which this is!!
Bowman Chrome Baseball has always been a Prospect Collectors dream and 2008 is no exception.
With 2 Prospects in every pack you will love this product,so get to your favorite Hobby Shop and pickup a box or two (boxes going for between $61-$70) it is well worth it.
I also am happy that the autographs are on the card,much better then sticker auto's in my opinion and I hope Topps make all their auto's "on the card" auto's.
Here's how I would rate this product;
Value = 5
Innovation = 4
Fun and Experience = 5
Re-buy Value = 5
I rate this product an "A" for Topps
