I bought a lot of Bowman Chrome Prospects from ebay once and thought it was the chrome prospects from "Bowman" that I was purchasing, but it actually ended up being the Bowman Chrome Prospects from "Bowman Chrome". I did not get the players I thought I was getting, though it was what I purchased. It's more than confusing, it makes collecting and keeping track a chore rather than a joy. All these prospect sets have the same design and numbering and there's no rhyme or reason or logic or cohesiveness.
In any case, it was exciting to receive these Bowman packs as a gift a few months ago because they were and are extremely difficult to find. What did the inside of the wrappers reveal?

Actually, these were probably the best two packs pulled from the box. A hard to pull refractor and an autograph were great finds (if they were of better prospects, they would be amazing finds).
There is just one question. Who is Dusty Coleman and what happened to him? There are no statistics for him for the 2010 season. Did he retire or get injured and no one report it? Anyone know?

Dusty Coleman had wrist surgery, he may have missed significant time last year cause of that.. the power of the internets
