One of the great things about the Bowman product line is that there are always players who are unknowns (or minor prospects) who later blow up when they do something in the majors. We scramble back to that year in our storage boxes and see how many we have.
My question is this: which baseball player had the longest time span between when his bowman rookie was released (1989 to present) to when he made an impact in the majors, his card spiked and you had to go find your stash that you thought would sit in a box for eternity?
I'm not sure I know the answer. There are a couple that come immediately to mind. I'm going to hold off on posting my guesses until someone else posts them and then I'll just like their post.
Let's see if we can come up with the top 10
List:
RA Dickey - Rookie in 1997, valuable in 2012 season, span of 15 years!!!
Jermaine Dye - Rookie in 1994, valuable in 2005-2006 season, span of 11-12 years
Raul Ibanez - Rookie in 1996, valuable in 2006, span of 10 years
Jose Bautista - Rookie in 2002, valuable in 2010 season, span of 8 years
Kris Medlen - Rookie in 2006, valuable in 2012 season, span of 6 years
