2012 BOWMAN DRAFT PICKS PREVIEW

[Jaypers]

JP wouldn't Duane Underwood be included in that PG checklist as well

Yes. I was including only 1st & sandwich rounders in that list.

Who is this Bruce Harper guy? Is that his first card?

 

[jmc280zx]

Any one know what the Under Armour All-American cards look like??? Ive only seen football ones..

 

[BowmanChromeAddict]

JP, where are you seeing Smyly and Adams announced as RC autos? I see they are on the base CL, but how do we know they will have autos?

Non-auto'd versions have been out there since those games were played. Basically just like the Aflac versions of years past.

Mistake corrected.

Non-autographed Under-Armour cards were never distributed at that game, unlike PG cards.

Topps tweeted a picture of an autographed version last August. Fortunately I saved it.

I have a question, where are we more likely to see James Paxton and Taijuan Walker autographs? in a product like Bowman Chrome, or is it a possibility they will be in draft picks?

Bowman Chrome.

Draft is reserved for the current year's draft picks and for those who got called up to the bigs.

ATL just posted pre-sells.

Anyone know if ATL does deposits like BO? I couldn't see any option/mention for presell deposits.

 

[All In Cards]

all most all onlines places take a deposit.

drop josh an email and ask

The thing that stuck out to me is:

"at least 40 different draft pick subjects" for autographs

That's a huge checklist with a draft that wasn't regarded as a very strong one.

I'd imagine color autographs will be harder to pull than in years past and that Topps will crank the presses on this release.

 

[cmnkb8]

With 40+ autos, Topps HAS to crank the presses. Production shouldn't be that much higher than regular 2012 Bowman (or at least I hope not). I think the same thing will happen after release in terms of prices: Hobby tanks, Jumbo skyrockets. No one in their right mind should be pre-ordering Hobby at current prices.

Both Paxton and Taijuan Walker were shown on Topps/Bowman Facebook page today on an uncut sheet of Bowman Platinum Superfractors "unsigned" as of yet.

Somebody smarter than me please explain why there are 2 Levi Michael Supers?

I'd guess there are two of most if you see the whole sheet in case the player smudges the autograph.

Blue wave wrapper redemption ??

Besides the Jumbos, I'm digging the:

1) Return of the ice parallels.
2) 165 prospect base cards (a new high - courtesy of the earlier signing deadline).
3) AFLAC, PG and Under-Armour Autos (Buxton was one of the latter).

But they are going back to the 55-cards standard for the 'green rookies' instead of 110.

That's a good thing. Most of the "RC" players are scrubs anyway, so this will hopefully narrow it down to the cream of the crop.

The jumbo idea would have been golden for the 2011 Draft class. Given how weak 2012 is, I still say this is a meh.
