Posted July 31, 2012 at 3:14 pm PermalinkYou said this isn’t the most popular set so what is? And is it worth the money like this one is?
Posted July 31, 2012 at 3:18 pm PermalinkWhen it comes to rookie and prospect autographs, Bowman Chrome always wins.
Posted July 31, 2012 at 3:20 pm PermalinkGreat Video Guys, I Love Bowman Platinum!!!! It is a great looking product and the Autos are awesome.
Posted July 31, 2012 at 3:36 pm PermalinkHey guys Ive have busted a hobby and a retail, there is only 20 packs per box in hobby. At least that is what it says on my hobby box.
Posted July 31, 2012 at 4:44 pm PermalinkBowman Chrome is more popular, for now, but I think of it as a better value overall with the 3 autos in a box
with two of them being prospect autos.
Already finished this years “base” set and I’m starting on the prospects and prospect autos.
I do with they would not have added additional parallels though as the basic prospect set looks effectively
very short printed.
Oh ok how is Bowman Sterling? I know this years set doesnt come out until like the fall but are they worth the money? Thanks!
Posted July 31, 2012 at 5:36 pm PermalinkBowman Sterling is more a lottery, just like most “pack” as a box concept where all the “hits” are in a pack.
The early years were awesome because they had a “topper” pack that had a super short printed bonus
card. That and the first year most of the autographs were on card.
I had purchased a sealed box every year up until the Strasburg year and sold them all off.
The Bowman Platinum product is a decent deal so far and I’m hoping they did not overproduce
the retail packs.
Not really impressed. I usually am not impressed by Bowman products though. I am not a prospect collector and that keeps me from buying a LOT of the Topps MLB products. I am not interested in pulling ‘hits’ of guys I’ve never heard of AND having to wait a few years to see if the card was worth pulling.
I do like the design, but also agree that not making differentiations of the parallels hurts the product and confuses people. I like the die-cut variation cards quite a bit though. I might be tempted to buy some retail of this, but not at all interested in going with a hobby box.
If this was an NFL product, I would be more interested in getting a hobby box b/c the ‘prospects’ would actually be rookies and have a chance to play in the next season.
Bowman platinum is a pretty solid product. Out of the 2 boxes I bought yesterday I was lucky enough to the Mike Trout yellow printing plate. I couldn’t be happier.
