Review Bowman Chrome M L B

[hdjstuff]

Bowman Chrome M L B​

18 packs - 4 cards per pack
'One autographed card in every box!'

I received the following:

26 base cards - 11.8% of the 220 base set.

I am a Bowman collector and a Bowman apologist... I really like Bowman. This is an issue that Bowman collectors should want. The base cards differentiate themselves with a different color back and the Bowman Chrome Prospects are numbered w/ BCP preceding the card number. The front of the card has an action photo in HD and it has the chrome finish - very bright. The reverse has 2011 stats, career stats, and a Scouting Report which contains Resume, Skills, and Evolution.

35 Bowman Chrome Prospects - 31.8% of the 110 base set

The reverse of the BCP cards has a Scouting Report just like the veterans base card - with the exception of UpClose instead of Evolution.

Bowman Chrome is an excellent issue for the set collector and the rookie collector. The Bowman Chrome Prospect set is 110 cards of players that most of us have not yet heard of & some we might have heard about. The player collector will have numerous parallels to chase - refractor, blue, purple, gold, red, and printing plates. If I have a gripe, I would like to receive a few more cards per box - did we not get 96 cards - 24 packs with 4 per pack in the past - maybe not last year, but earlier.

I really like the die cuts. These look very good. They are my favorite of all inserts.

Autos - ya dun guud Bowman - on the card autos!! Thank you!

Not in this box..

One fellow here in Orlando, pulled a red (#ed to 5) Yu Darvish auto... sweet.

In one of my boxes, I receive a redemption for a 2012 SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game Cap worn by Kolten Wong... sweet!!

Overall grade A - more cards per box....

Go buy several boxes and send the die cuts to me and all Rays parallels to me as well.

Nice break. Sometimes I wish I was opening up new wax, but got a long ways to go in my cleaning efforts before I will do that.

 

[XZYXZY]

Are there any Jeters in the set?

 

[2000Doubles]

Great Review, I like the look of the colored refractors. Also nice hit on your other box with the Wong Cap. Do not forget to keep an eye out on the Prospect Variations too.

thanks for sharing

I believe so. I'll see if I have an extra for you.

[just-for-cards]

I still need these for my set if you pulled them:
BCP 132,149,150,172,185
Base: 8,18,40,43,55,61,65,70,79,105,108,119,126,131,137,148,153,164,175,189,201,212,219.
I'll look later to see if I pulled any Rays inserts from the 6 boxes.
Thanks,
Al

Duane, I would like the Dylan Bundy insert.
I just pulled a Rays insert yesterday from the product in a box,
Felipe Rivero All-Star Futures Game Insert similar to the Tommy Joseph card you pulled.
Let me know if you'd like to swap?

Duane,

The only other Ray I pulled was a Desmond Jennings Refractor.

If you can use both for the Bundy, let me know.
However, I do not have anymore Rays from this years product in the blasters I've opened.
