Card of the Day - 2014 Bowman Draft : Jared Walker Base Chrome Black Refractor Parallel (51/75)

5 whole quarters.
No, not an overtime game in basketball but a grand total of $1.25 is all it took for me to complete my very small Jared Walker project.

Jared was included in the 2014 Bowman Draft set and he was not represented by an autograph so I only had to lock down two cards for the young man. One blue and one black chrome refractor. The blue with its 399 copy print run was easy to obtain and I only had to really hold out/search for the black since there are only 75 copies.

I only ever saw a couple of copies on eBay but every seller wanted an arm and a leg for this card. I just waited it out and finally a seller had it on a traditional auction with $1.25 as the starting asking price. Surprise, surprise I was the only one to bid on it at auction's end and now my 2 card project is done. Onto the next mini project

Card of the Day - 2014 Bowman Chrome : Jared Walker Base Blue Refractor Parallel (124/399)

Another blue beauty of a Dodger unknown, or unknown to me at least.

When it comes to these type of players the price ceiling for me is very low as I will not overspend on someone that may or may not make an impact within the organization. Jared happens to be one of two (Brigham being the other) that I was unaware of who they were prior to the 2014 Bowman Chrome release. A little research yielded that he projects to be a decent enough player if not an impact one. We shall just have to wait and see how his career progresses.

With no autograph of Jared in the set there are only two cards I am/was after, the blue and black refractors. Blue being by far the more plentiful I just had to wait till the right auction came around and this happened to be the one. Starting price of $1 and an ending sell price of just a $1 and me as the winner of the card. One down, one to go.
