I won't go into the variety of autographs...
This pack came from Rob at Texas Rangers Cards. There 7 cards in every pack of which 2 are Bowman Chrome.
The pack:
BDP1 Nick Adenhart Angels
BDP48 David Robinson Yankees
BDP17 Jaime Garcia Cardinals Chrome
BDPP16 Shane Dyer Bay Rays Chrome
BDPP63 Matt Cerda Cubs Gold
BDPP77 Cliff Pennington Athletics
BDPP101 Fernando Martinez Mets
No Red Sox!
The Resume, Skills and Up-close information on the back is very interesting. But if there is one thing I have learnt from these cards, about the up and coming players, is that they cannot sign their name for toffee. Most look like a scribble. It might be a minor complaint but they must know that there is a possibility of hitting the big time and their signatures will be sought after. A little effort and practice. I know a minor and very picky complaint.
