What's Buzz-worthy: If you want a Bowman experience that's a little heavier on inserts -- or at least seems that way -- try these value packs, which pad out the inserts with Camo parallels only found here for the prospects. This particular grouping of packs all from the same stop delivered very well with the Green auto one in every 827 packs and the Gold Shimmer one in  every 627. They were in the same four-pack pack. There wasn't a Shohei Ohtani appearance here -- or any duplicates -- which is interesting given our past jumbo pack break where we had two in five packs.  Of all formats at retail, this particular one is my favorite.
