It is simply incredible how the bowman chrome autographed rookie card has consumed the card market. These are the only rookie cards that some collectors will own.

My question today is: What are the best rookie/first year autographed cards of players who don't have a bowman chrome autograph as their first year/rookie card?

This question was tougher than I thought to answer, in fact, you may need to refer to a price guide to come up with your list. I think there will probably be a general consensus amongst the top 5, then 5-10 gets kind of sticky.

Let me hear your thoughts about the top 10, and remember, that player cannot have a bowman chrome autograph that was released the same year as their best rookie/first year card!

Here would be some examples:

ultimate ichiro auto/250
miguel cabrera topps traded auto
Ryan howard bowman's best auto
prince fielder ultimate collection auto
bowman heritage robinson cano

let me know what else you guys can come up with!

I meant best autographed rookie cards of the above players, so Yes you are on the right track, the Ichiro ultimate collection auto/250, and the Ryan Howard Bowman's best autograph would certainly be in the top 10, and they are for sure in my top 5.

Oh, my bad, I thought you were looking for the best Chrome non-auto cards from Bowman Chrome.

I would modify the question to read "best RC Auto of players who do not have Bowman Chrome Auto's". I think it gets more interesting that way. Off the top of my head...


01 SPx Ichiro Suzuki
02 Bowman's Best Francisco Liriano Auto
03 Bowman's Best Ryan Howard
03 Bowman's Best Chien-Ming ****

2007 UD Black Tim Lincecum auto outsells his 2007 Bowman Chrome auto every time.


I would hope so. One is numbered to /99 and the other has like 10000 copies.

Thanks! I couldn't find the best way to word this question, and I worded it the way I did cause I didn't want to exclude the prince fielder ultimate collection card, even though he has a bowman chrome auto the year after.

The Cabrera and Cano autos you mentioned really arent "rookie cards" unless you are counting "rookie card inserts"

Yes, i realize they sell for a bunch, but still

I understand the technicalities, so that's why I put rookie/first year auto to cover for this. Thanks though!
