Don't collect much modern baseball, but now that my Nats resigned Zimmerman for the long term, I want to get a basic auto RC for my PC.
Using beckett's website and narrowing a few things (like taking out ugly cards) down via ebay, these are his auto RCs that seem to interest me. Not interested in any of the bowman colors or parallels.
2005 Bowman Chrome Draft #178 Ryan Zimmerman AU B RC
2005 SP Authentic #181 Ryan Zimmerman AU RC SER 185
2005 SPx #173 Ryan Zimmerman AU RC SER 185
2005 Ultimate Signature #190 Ryan Zimmerman AU RC SER 125
2006 Bowman #221 Ryan Zimmerman AU RC AU
2006 SP Authentic #297 Ryan Zimmerman AU/199 RC SER 199
2006 Sweet Spot #139 R.Zimmerman AU/275 SER 275
2006 Ultimate Collection #155 Ryan Zimmerman AU/180 (RC)AU SER 180
I expect the recommendation here would be to get one of the 2 bowman or SP authentics, but I honestly don't understand the difference/significance of the 'first year' bowman chrome draft 2005 and 'RookieCard' bowman 2006.
My main hope to get the card that would be considered his iconic RC much like the UD is for Ken Griffey Jr. Any help would appreciated.
Thanks
