Missing cards?

First it was Gypsy Queen missing hits, now it's Bowman missing cards per pack?  I haven't found too many loose packs available in my area (and if I have the packs have been opened and left behind), but I did grab 2 packs the other day and both packs only had 9 cards.  One of the Chrome cards were missing and neither pack had been tampered with.

Has anyone else ran into this problem w/ loose retail packs?  It wasn't a huge deal as I'm more of a fan of the base cards, but I still would like to get everything I pay for.

The 2 packs even though they were short a card I did get a few decent things:

- Buster Posey Finest Futures #FF2
- Buster Posey International parallel #1

Both are available for trade.  Looking for the green retail parallel of Tim Hudson.

Pack Break - 2011 Bowman

I have a feeling this year's Bowman release will be just about as hard to find as last year thanks to Harper-mania.  I did luck out the other day and found a gravity feeder @ Walmart that wasn't completely empty yet.  Since all of Blogger is filled with 2011 Bowman posts I won't bother scanning the base cards since by now you should know what they look like.

I like the base design better than last year, but I don't anticipate buying many packs.  I do however want to pick up a Braves set so for those of you that have busted a lot of this already let me know if you want to trade as I'd love to have your Braves.  Speaking of Braves I did have some luck as in a insert, Finest Futures.  Nice.
