Will my cheap strategy backfire?
I purchased one hobby hot pack of 2014 Bowman Chrome Football for $14.87 which is guaranteed to contain an autographed card. That's a fantastic deal considering a $50 hobby box includes a single autographed card.

Base Cards
-
62 - Ryan Mathews

Mathews topped the NFL with six 100-yard performances in the 2013 season.
-
77 - T.Y. Hilton

Hilton logged five 100-yard receiving games in the 2013 season.
Insert Cards
-
Refractor 192 - Jeremy Hill [RC] (odds 1:4)

Despite starting only 8 games in his rookie 2014 season, Hill rushed 1,124 yards for 9 touchdowns.
-
RCRA-LTA - Lorenzo Taliaferro [RC] (odds 1:24)

I've seen that card sell for a whopping... $0.99 on eBay. I pity anyone who pulled that worthless card from a hobby box.
My plan to score a solid hit for only $14.87 backfired...
