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 prospects. This particular grouping of packs all from the same stop was an absolute home run with the Shohei Ohtani parallel, the Green Chrome auto (retail-only) and two other numbered inserts ... in just five packs (15 standard packs inside). Poke around here for other 2018 Bowman breaks and more details. Of all formats at retail, this particular one is my favorite.
