1996-97 Bowmans Best - Box 1 *SCANS ADDED*

[graham]

You beat the odds with the refractors! Total of 5?

Yep 5 in total. Odds are 2 refractors and 1 Atomic refractor per box. Best Cuts Refractors are 1:96 packs (or 1:4 boxes) and I got two atomics. Plus at least one of the main RC's (and two Kobes) and it was a pretty nice box.

Nice Jordan...PM Sent

Not a bad break mate....

thanks for the vintage break

Thank you for the vintage box. I was hoping for some gum in the packs but never mind.

That's a sweet break back in the day, those refractors would've been fetching a pretty penny...I love bowman's best from that year anyways!

Never mind the refractors, imagine getting the pack with Hill and Jordan in the one pack. Back in the day you would have wet yourself! Mind you, if you got the Kobe/Nash/Shareef RC's in the one pack you probably would have been going "oh man, not those crappy rookies. Wheres my John Wallace RC?"

And looks like they are going to PSA.... When r u sending next?

Some might go, I think at least one Kobe will. AI & Nash and possibly the Jordans. I have a freebie sub I need to send off, and probably wait to see what next months special is and maybe send off then.

nice kobes. no ewings though

I got some P Ewing base (at least 2). Did you want to see a scan of one ?

Or Kerry Kittles/Antoine Walker RC? But Kobe was already big back then, definitely not quite as big as he is now, but it was Iverson first, Kobe then Marbury in terms of card values in 96-97 if I remember correctly. The scans are sweet, the Jordan Honour Roll is such a cool design and great pic And you got Atomics of two of my fav underrated players, Vitaly Potapenko and Cedric Ceballos...Potapenko had some slick low post moves and Cedric was killer on the baseline.
