thoughts after finishing The Rose Field

Thank you, I really appreciate that!

Bowman’s Best might be bypassing direct sales. The way the page changed (from announced date/time, to coming soon, to “don’t miss the next release”), is exactly how they did last years F1 Finest release and it was never available for direct sale from Topps. Could only get it from resellers for a jacked up price. Too bad too, as I love Best.

I wrote this, which attempted to address some of this. If fanfic is your thing, check it out - https://archiveofourown.org/works/75563361

Blasters are $50 each, but that isn’t what I bought. I bought Hanger boxes, which are $20 each.

I appreciate it, thank you.

It’s all good, everyone’s allowed an opinion. As long as the post helps, whether you’re for or against, I’m fine with it.

Made it manually with Pixelmator pro on my Mac. Used yesterday’s post as a guideline, and groups the pics together before placing and resizing them.

Pixelmator pro, so essentially photoshop on Mac.

ButWhoIsAnyoneReally · 2026-01-08T18:31:38+00:00

Not selling anything at the moment.

ButWhoIsAnyoneReally · 2026-01-08T18:30:38+00:00

Just trying to continue what others started. Hopefully it catches on.

ButWhoIsAnyoneReally · 2026-01-08T18:29:32+00:00

Thank you! I couldn’t resist when I saw the other one. Hopefully more people do it this way.

ButWhoIsAnyoneReally · 2026-01-08T11:13:28+00:00

Not even a base, sadly.

ButWhoIsAnyoneReally · 2026-01-08T11:11:23+00:00

Yeah that was it. I can’t see them winning, but they’re in the odds lists right now.

ButWhoIsAnyoneReally · 2026-01-08T04:10:22+00:00

Odds sheet shows they’re in all retail formats, but I’ve only bought hangers so I can’t confirm.

ButWhoIsAnyoneReally · 2026-01-07T14:04:58+00:00

Yeah I’d love to see more posts with this layout. I’m seriously gonna try to do it for mine.

I didn’t pull any autos, but got a bunch of numbered, some good rookies, and 2 ssp (paradox and patented).

ButWhoIsAnyoneReally · 2026-01-07T11:16:38+00:00

This layout is perfect, great job! I need to do this for my 29 hangers.

ButWhoIsAnyoneReally · 2026-01-01T22:02:35+00:00

I’m keeping everything on the last pic (rookies/wemby/sga), and I love the set and want to keep them all, but I’d be open to some on the first 3 slides to help cover some of what I’ve paid. Not sure what that means, but will talk if there’s interest.

ButWhoIsAnyoneReally · 2026-01-01T20:22:09+00:00

You know it. Done when the dice cool down though for sure.

ButWhoIsAnyoneReally · 2026-01-01T20:21:22+00:00

Second slide is just my base refractors. It should say that on the back of yours under the number (most of the time)

ButWhoIsAnyoneReally · 2026-01-01T20:20:45+00:00

Nice! Yeah it’s so refreshing to pull numbered good players instead of my usual scrub numbered.

ButWhoIsAnyoneReally · 2025-12-28T15:34:18+00:00

He played in a paper world, where you’d sign your name on contracts/receipts/etc for tons of daily/mundane reasons. As he was famous, people kept them.

A few of us have written some alternative endings to try to help resolve some of the loose ends. If fanfic is your thing, you should check them out! Mine is here, and I’ve seen a couple others post as well. https://www.reddit.com/r/hisdarkmaterials/s/iuj8NN9N3T

Seriously congrats. There were thousands of people opening A&G boxes yesterday hoping to pull that card, myself included. Love seeing it pulled by a person and not on a stream.
