Did Lars Anderson have a Bowman card prior to 2008?

[bradical]

Just wondering why his card didn't say "1st Bowman Chrome Card".

Because theyre morons.

Because theyre morons.

I didn't know if Topps considers a Bowman Sterling as their first card, or if truly, their first Bowman Chrome card is suppose to get that stamp.

i had a similar question... in 2008 Bowman Chrome Draft, Nick Evans' card (green card) was his 1st bowman chrome card. Why is it green with a RC logo, and not a 1st bowman chrome card? same with pelfrey in 06 draft

Bowman Sterling came out after Bowman Chrome. Bowman Chrome is his first Bowman card.

Because they're not prospects cards, they're RCs. They were made because they had played in the majors.

To clarify a little more, it will be a blue "First Year Card" if the player has not played in the majors yet. It will be a green card with the official RC logo if they player has played in the majors for the first time that year, or is still considered a true rookie. Sometimes, like in the case of Lincecum, the green RC is the first Bowman card. But with Lars, I guess they screwed up.

Correct. It's quite confusing. However, Lincecum had a Bowman Chrome RC and a Bowman Chrome Auto in that 07 Bowman Chrome set. So, what card is considered his first MLB card?

First MLB card was Allen and Ginter

Bowman Chrome Auto says First Year because it is int he prospect insert set.

Someone's green card which really is their first Bowman Chrome RC is like Mike Pelfrey.
