2009 Bowman Chrome is Live on Ebay

cubsfan2513 · Sep 16, 2009

Seems like tntnorthnj and tomorrowsstarstoday on ebay got their product early. One of the things I noticed is that the Viciedo auto looks to be a redemption, oh and that topps was nice enough to use the same picture of Tommy Hanson from his Topps Chrome auto. Isnt it awesome when 2 autograph cards look the same, jeez.

agreed. might be a good idea to buy a case of 08, as it might be the last nice release! how much would that cost me?

Topps Chrome looks WAY better.

This is worse than 2008 Chrome. What does it take to make a good Chrome product anymore?

Edgar Olmos was rushed into the product as a replacement auto. Problem is they couldn't spell his name right on the redemptions!

I see Matt Mitchell was also a last-minute add to the autos. He signed his cards though.

yup, would rather get TC for hanson and anderson.

Did anyone expect the design to be different than 09 Bowman? I just hope they make up for two horrible checklists with a Draft issue that tops all previous years... i.e. get Stras, Ackley, Tate, Martin Perez, Thomas Neal, +++ in the auto portion!

I'm glad I didn't pre-buy any of this like I usually do each year, especially since the best autograph (in my opinion) appears to be a redemption. I'll probably buy a hand-collated base set and couple autograph singles and call it a day.

BTW, Beckett has the final checklist posted: Checklist.

you wont see tate and ackley or any boras guy in draft this year

you won't see perez or neal because unlike last year its bowman chrome draft, not bowman chrome draft picks and prospects

that hanson image is close.. but not a dupe. looks like his arm slot is slightly higher.

If that's the case, then boo to Topps for utilizing two nearly identical pictures. If they're the same, then it's understandable that they're lazy. Not acceptable, but understandable. If they went to the effort to get two different pics, they should have made them the least bit different.

Hanson, Santana, Freeman, Viciedo, Venditte... Already better than 2008 Auto checklist.

Unless you prefer first-year cards (like me). There are just 10 FY autographs this year, and 8 of those 10 are pitchers. Yuck.

Last year we had 30 FY autographs...16 position players and 14 pitchers.

Ron_Mexico · Sep 16, 2009

10 1st year autos ... out of a possible 24 thats not bad.

All The Hype · Sep 16, 2009

Not that I necessarily disagree with anyone who is complaining (Although I don't think it is the worst bc product ever), but I just wanted to post this picture in context.

Crash Davis · Sep 16, 2009

That picture is absolutely hysterical!
