Picture it: you buy a Jumbo box of 2010 Bowman and don't get a Stephen Strasburg autograph [hell, maybe you don't get an autograph at all]. You really want a Stephen Strasburg autograph. You can't live without a Stephen Strasburg autograph. You can't buy one on eBay because you blew all your money on the jumbo box. What are you supposed to do?
Why not take a page from a kid in 1955? He really, really, really wanted the rookie card of Humberto Robinson, the first Panamanian player in the majors.
