I Ripped $6,000 Of Bowman Football On RELEASE DAY! 😱 *FIRST DAY ISSUE*

Card Collector 2 conducts a box break of the newly released 2024 Bowman First Day Issue product, opening three premium boxes on release day. The product features a mix of college football players and NFL rookies, which the collector notes is bittersweet as it dilutes the focus on college cards he prefers, though he acknowledges it will bring broader attention to the college card space. Each box is expected to contain two autographs per box—one numbered to 14 and one numbered to eight, plus non-autograph parallels. Throughout the break, the collector pulls various colored parallels, base rookies, and insert cards featuring notable players like JSN (Jaxon Smith-Njigba) with a textured reptilian parallel, Lamar Jackson, and multiple college prospects. Box one yields four autographs including CJ Brown (numbered to 8), Jaylen Dri (to 14), and Kaden McDonald. Box two provides three autographs including a Harold Perkins rookie autograph and concludes with a major hit: Jeremiah Love rookie autograph numbered to 3 of 14 on a Cardinals card, which the collector identifies as one of the top NFL rookie chase cards in the product. Box three produces additional hits including a Drew Smothers orange color match autograph numbered to 14 from Texas, which the collector calls a massive card that would be extremely valuable if it were an Arch Manning card. The collector notes the product has an incredibly deep college player checklist with many top prospects including Arch Manning, JKS, Kamario Taylor, and Kawan Lacy. He expresses satisfaction with the overall variety and color parallels pulled despite not hitting all the most desirable player names in some cases.
