Preview of 2013 Bowman Sterling Baseball

[Jaypers]

I gotta admit, the cards look better than ever this year. JMO.

Beckett News » First Look: 2013 Bowman Sterling baseball cards

Having a Puig auto is a good omen for Bowman Chrome as well.

I'm on the fence. I do love the red Ryu auto card. Not sure if I really like the base design.

 

[hive17]

My first impression was Leaf or Rize. Maybe having the actual cards in front of me would fix that, but...

On-card? That's cool.

I don't know how I feel about parallel-hell. Kind of reminds me of Topps Finest.

 

[Brewer Andy]

Big Iron Man fan!

First though is they look cool and nice to see some moderate design attempts. There is something odd about them that I can't put my finger on. Maybe guys on the internet making customs has gotten so prevelent that everything looks like joefan drew them up these days

Superfractor Autos in Sterling for the first time is never a bad thing.

I'm really curious about the bass set as I've been looking for a few longmouth rookies.

I'm really curious about the bass set as I've been looking for a few longmouth rookies.

It's "largemouth", not "longmouth"

 

[VandyDan]

They look like the kind of design that is going to look really tacky 5 years from now, in retrospect.

 

[moxacaine]

Looks like some TriStar or Just product. Not liking the design at all. Hopefully the actual cards are nicer than the mockups.

 

[allstars]

sexy!

 

[BBCgalaxee]

They look really nice, heads and tails better than the XXXX known as 2012 bowman sterling.

Now, as long as they don't pull a "we have to cut production for (insert: country/state/city/village/etc)" & box prices go crazy despite lacking color, itll be good.

But I am curious what fish beyond trout will be on the "bass" checklist

 

[uniquebaseballcards]

Looks an awful lot like the old Skybox sets!

Superfractor Autos in Sterling for the first time is never a bad thing.

Welcome to last year.

Oh, and the designs are downright atrocious. They would be bad by TriStar's standards, let alone Topps.

 

[A_Pharis]

Looks like the kind of design you'd see on a Superhero TV Series Card release.

 

[goldenegg1]

Sterling sucks every year, looks like the tradition continues.

 

[Jaypers]

Welcome to last year.

My bad.

 

[kerryfan5]

Ok there sweet.

 

[Austin]

Why did they make the autograph box in the shape of a hip bone?

 

[kerryfan5]

Maybe it is for jockstrap purposes.

 

[jbmm161]

Looks alot like base cards from bowman platinum to me.
