Yaz!!

Also, what is the Bowman prospect auto? Is that in addition to a chrome auto per box or could it replace the chrome prospect auto? A lot of the Bowman autos already have chrome autos which sort of makes these dull--edit:thanks JP

AFLAC not on the CL?

and it's the 3rd release of a 2010 Bowman Chrome card of Josh Donaldson.

Also, Adam Moore, Madison Bumgarner, Buster Posey, Wellington Castillo...etc etc...lots of retreads in the base cards.

The appeal of Bowman Draft has always been in the non auto'd cards. When that checklist is horrid like this one...then we lose a quite a bit of value in the breaks.

Thats what happens when you try to spread a limited pool of talented prospects across 3 products of Bowman Chrome. It's been a disastrous recipe since 2008.

True, but the auto checklist looks very solid and very deep, at least in my opinion. It is really going to come down to how much was printed and how often parallels, both autos and base fall. The auto guys in the base set probably won't be huge sellers but they should be something to breakers.

I know I'll be attempting the rainbow of an auto/base guy, and maybe picking up some other stuff depending on how my case goes

Re: 2010 BOWMAN DRAFT PICKS FINAL CHECKLIST

Ok, here are my observations.

1) Strasburg was a variation auto in BC, and will likely be the same here, so don't panic if you don't see him on this CL.

2) Chrome Autos #s 61 through 67 are all new. Choice, Cox, Brentz, Ruffin, Olt, Deglan, Grandal.

3) The base prospect set has been expanded to include not only all of the new autos, but the USA 16U team as well.

4) No AFLAC checklist, but that's not surprising, as Topps never includes them on these inserts.

This is Buster Posey's 1st Bowman Chrome base card.

The auto checklist is definitely strong. However, most of the case busters make their money from sets & lots.

Re: 2010 BOWMAN DRAFT PICKS FINAL CHECKLIST

One thing that stuck out to me-it's nice to see Topps add players of value to the auto checklist, when they need to expand the auto checklist.

Choice, Cox, Grandal, Brentz are nice additions. Glad to see them adding players that should bring nice value.

Re: 2010 BOWMAN DRAFT PICKS FINAL CHECKLIST

So overall are you happy with the final checklist? Do you see cases prcies going up, down or remaining the same?

 

[Jaypers]

Added a poll to the first post. 3 Cases here.

Btw, now that the product is live, I'd just like to thank Topps for NOT including a certain sandwich guy who plays for the Motor City's organization. :mrgreen:
