What are the cards to get out of this new product? How do you know if the same player will be found in the august release of the next bowman product?

Visit your local psychic.

The question is do you look at the checklist for both and only collect the chrome product, what if they both have chrome of the same person....the later release is always the more expensive?

If it's chrome base in both products, for example, Parra from 2008, then the first chrome will always outsell the second. Nothing to worry about there, because if you buy your player now, you will have his most valuable card.

That is, unless Bowman decides to include that same player in a later product this year on the chrome auto checklist. If they have an auto for the year, generally that is what people want, even if the chrome non-auto came out first.

The trends of Bowman products and their cards on the secondary market are a mental puzzle, but once you put the pieces together, it's a lot easier to understand the overall picture.

That makes a lot more sense now, thank you again for your help. What are the hot non-auto cards in the set?

Tough to say, as that is where the research of prospecting comes in. There aren't any huge names in the base set, but there are a few decent ones. I'd recommend checking guys out on milb.com or in the BA Prospect Handbook to see if they look like guys in which you are interested in investing.

Darvish, .....??? There are not many big names at all. There are some redsox prospects that have some upside but they are all ridiculously young.

-Stolmy Pimentel (has a threads auto and an EXTREMELY limited Contenders auto, but still a nice card to have)

-Neftali Feliz (his first chrome card...I am assuming he will be an auto in 09 BC, but he already has several 08 autos anyways)

I had to go look at his stats to make sure I didn't shoot myself in the foot on that comment and I was a little taken back by his mug shot. It looks like he got old quick from when I last saw him a few years ago.
