Base Set and Prospects

2017 Bowman Baseball Base

As collectors have come to expect, there’s are a few levels to the main 2017 Bowman Baseball base set. Veterans and prospects come with separate paper checklists. Prospects are technically inserts, but they’re treated by many as being similar to the main set.

The base set includes rookie cards from Alex Bregman, Yoan Moncada and more. The Prospects checklist features players from the World Baseball Classic.

Paper parallels for both types come in Silver, Purple, Blue, Gold, Red (/5) and Black (1/1). All but Silver are serial numbered.

Prospects also have Chrome versions. The parallels here come in a variety of Refractors. Besides the basic variety, there are numbered Purple, Blue, Gold, Red (/5) and hobby-only Superfractors (1/1). Numerous colored Shimmer Refractors are also included as are one-of-one Printing Plates.

Autographs

As they have been for more than a decade, Chrome Autographs are likely to be the biggest draw in 2017 Bowman Baseball. Quantities remain the same with one per hobby box and three per hobby jumbo box.

Chrome Prospect Autograph and Chrome Rookie Autograph Refractors are virtually all hobby and hobby jumbo exclusives. The include numbered basic Refractors, Blue Refractors, Gold Refractors, Red Refractors (/5), Printing Plates and Superfractors (1/1). Prospects also have Purple and a variety of Shimmer Refractors.

All three of these have numbered Gold and one-of-one Superfractor parallels. Select cards also have signed versions.

Bowman’s 70th anniversary comes through in a variety of insert sets. The 1948, 1951 and 1992 designs are used to create new cards of prospects, current stars and retired players. 1951 cards are based off of new artwork. The original sketches are randomly inserted in hobby and hobby jumbo packs. 1992 cards, which look to play off the original set’s questionable fashion choices, have Superfractor (1/1) parallels. Also, some 1948 and 1992 cards have autographed versions.

Original Bowman cards are randomly inserted in the form of stamped buybacks. Bowman Buyback Autographs are also available in limited numbers.
