2011 Topps Update Value Box recap #2

2011 Topps Value box [$14.99 each at a Target]

It probably isn't due to the cards themselves being hard to find but I have not seen any blasters and / or racks of 2011 Bowman Chrome - so far, the Value boxes seem to be my only fix to get anything with 2011 Bowman Chrome in it and while it isn't even worth the trouble, I tried another box.

#BCE-1 Bryce Harper bonus card - I didn't even bother looking at the number of the other Harper bonus card I pulled from my other value box; this card is a red refractor version while the other looks more like silver.

Topps Diamond Giveaway code card - I got stuck with a 1993 Topps John Franco, which wasn't great but there was an immediate trade offer for it [something like three 'early 1980s' commons].

However, the 'trade manager' gave me a couple of error messages and I tried logging off - after about 10-15 minutes, I tried to execute the trade again [two more times], but it didn't go through either time and the offer ended up disappearing.
