Sports Cards Nonsense Bowman Chrome 2021 Release
On Wednesday, Bowman releases it’s high-end, 2021 Bowman Chrome product. Mike loves this product this year and has plays for everyone. Here’s what you need to know
Bowman has three flagship products. Bowman (April), Bowman Chrome (September), and Bowman Draft (December). Other Bowman products are offshoots of these three.
(READ SLOWLY) This is the “Do not feed after midnight” rule from Gremlins; the only Bowmans that matter are 1st Bowmans. Re-read that and say it out loud ten times!
Bowman is super volatile. Make sure you make the play that corresponds to your budget.
Avoid pitchers at all costs.
There are three separate hobby products
HTA Choice Box ($225) contains 3 cards. That’s it. 3 Bowman Chrome Autos!
Lite Hobby Box ($190) contains 10 packs per box, 5 cards per pack. Mike doesn't like this box
Bowman Chrome Hobby- ($200) contains 2 autos per box.

Jesse’s Kids Korner Movie Review of the Week
My movie pick this week is probably one of the first sports movie I ever saw - The Sandlot
This was and still is a defining movie for myself and most guys I knew growing up. Quoted to this day and a source of nostalgia for just about every millennial, it reminds me of a time that I never actually lived in but always wanted to. Kids, if you want a great movie, this one has it all.
I was 6 years old when this movie came out and I remember every kid I knew was talking about it. Even though it's set in the summer of 1962 and I grew up in the 90s, it was still a time where most kids I knew felt like this could easily be them and their friends….To continue reading, click here

Mike Gio was cracking cases this week over at Gio Breaks
Mike hosted a few hobby all-stars on the Sports Cards Nonsense IGTV this week for a really interesting discussion
There has been a lot of talk about Investacard lately. Mike had a robust discussion with Edward from Instacard on their Instagram channel this week. The discussion was frank, direct, and honest on all sides by the way. Make up your own mind but big kudos to Eddie and Instacard for taking the incoming from Mike and seemingly being a straight shooter. Learn about Mike Gio’s slum lording.
On Kids Korner on our Youtube channel, Mike revisits his experience with Matthew after Matthew delivered on his straight A’s promise.
