Trade Bait! 2011 Bowman Chrome Brandon Guyer Blue Refractor Auto

You've probably seen those Topps Value Packs at Target or Walmart while grocery shopping.  I think Topps started using them last year and the trend carried over to 2011.  This current iteration contains 5 packs of Topps Update Series, 1 hobby pack of Bowman Chrome, 1 Diamond Giveaway redemption card and 1 of 3 exclusive Bryce Harper (yawn) refractors.

I had previously read that Derek from Tomahawk Chopping has had some good success pulling hits out of these boxes.  I too had pretty good luck last year and early this year as well.  This time was no different.  I opened the one lone pack of Bowman Chrome and pulled this:

I love the on card auto and the blue refractor looks great seeing how this is a Cubs card.  Pack odds are 1:295!  Not bad, eh?  Now the question is what to do with it.  I'd love to flip it for a similar Braves auto of Julio Teheran, Craig Kimbrel, Brandon Beachy or other Braves player.  Any one interested?

2011 Topps Value Packs

I've been reading that a lot of people have had good luck redeeming the codes included in the value boxes for good cards (i.e. die-cut cards).  Until recently the supply in my area had dried up, but I noticed a few days ago while @ Walmart picking up some painting supplies for work.  I noticed hat the little loaded boxes had been restocked!

Well I didn't get much out of the Diamond Giveaway codes, but I did get a hit!

I'd like to trade the card from someone Braves oriented, otherwise I may pass this on to my brother-in-law for safe keeping for his son.  Kid's middle name is Fenway for crying out loud...I figured they get a kick out of it.
