1999 Bowman Box in his Cheap Wax Wednesday series. He elected to give away another box on Twitter, and I was the lucky winner!
In 1999, I was looking for Chris Enochs Bowman cards. They were in Series 1, though. The guy I was buying in 1999 that was in Series 2? Adam Piatt.
Yeah. Adam Piatt.
Who were you collecting/investing in while we were all worrying about the Y2K bug?
If you shop online and haven't
signed up and used ebates yet, you're missing out. I also use it on eBay to get money back from purchases there. Between referrals and cash back, I've gotten over $150 in a year. FREE CARDS!
If you're on Twitter, please
give me a follow. You can also find
me on Trading Card Database. I love trading cards, when it makes sense. Happy collecting!
Free box of Bowman? That is quite a generous prize, no matter what year it's from!
ReplyDeleteI cant recall any specific prospects I was chasing - Corey Patterson, maybe? But I did sink a lot of cash into building that year's Finest set.
I wasn’t investing in 1999, but I was collecting. Didn’t buy as many packs as I did in 1998, but still got a good amount of cards from that year.
ReplyDeletePiatt is in my Favorite Player Collection. He his 39 Homers in the minors, and I thought he would be a star in the Majors.
