2023 Bowman Mega Box!

And just like that, back to Bowman! At least it's that slightly weird "mega" box configuration. Still don't understand the need for these. You get fewer cards for more money. The only benefit are those special refractors. Seems like a very big risk/reward type thing. I'm not usually big on those with cards. 

How this one go? Let's see!


See? It's so MEGA!


Everything except the number of packs.


Not familiar with Mr. Anthony here. But, according to a comment in a previous post, he's a top ten Sox prospect! So, I guess at least there's that. Not bad to have a First Bowman Chrome card of his, that's for sure.


Speaking of top prospects, here's one of the mega refractors of young Sox star Triston Casas. A few home runs lately are hopefully a spark.


Same with this guy. He came out of the break with some gusto. A big second half from him would certainly be good for the Sox.

And there you have it. Sox stars of the past, present, and future! Can't ask for much more than that.

How have you done?

2023 Bowman Mega Box

OK. It may seem like I'm opening more 2023 Bowman packs. And, well, I am. But....and this is important...the packs are MEGA! Wait, the packs aren't actually mega. Just the box. Ans not even the contents of the box, since there are just the six packs. But, they physical box that is mostly empty...that's mega. So, see? Totally different.

How'd it go? Let's find out!

Look at the size of that box!


But, still only the six packs. Two of them are special mega box packs, though.


And those special mega packs do have special mega foiled cards. Bowman sure is confusing. But here's a nice first Bowman Chrome Mega card of Freili Encarnacion. So, there's that.


And, here's a not so mega card of Yoshida. It's not chrome or mega. Kinda boring at this point.


At least Mikey Romero here has the decency to be Chrome. But, he's not mega. He's not a first. He's not a rookie. Sort of a inbetweener type thing. Oh well.

And there you have it. A mega box resulted in three Red Sox cards. I'm feeling underwhelmed.

How did you do with yours?
