2018 Bowman Draft Baseball Cards

Overall, the design of this specific cards set is mediocre at best. I just wonder if this is a way of selling the Bowman paper cards by putting all the Bowman Chrome draft prospects autograph cards in this set randomly. Which seems like a Cheesy way to make you buy Bowman paper cards. I wonder if you would happen to know Trey if this Bowman Chrome Auto on card of Nico hoerner is his first on card Auto of any baseball cards that came out in 2018. Not counting Panini or leaf or brands that do not show team logos. I would appreciate a reply to my question whenever you have spare time. Thanks very much and keep up the good work. Jim

Made 10 complete paper sets and 4 complete chrome sets (minus literally one card!) from a hobby jumbo case. Collation is amazing. One corner of a fairly rare auto was dinged out of the pack, but such is life. I purchased (preordered and paid in full) back in July 18 for $1250, so got an incredible deal from my LCS. Will definately be buying this again, for sure will pay in full in July this year.

Excellent product. And I was able to make a paper set from 1 jumbo box.

The recommended viewing inserts are unnecessary. Not crazy bad, though. The Bowman Birthdays in 2018 Bowman Baseball has to be the worst imaginable insert…ever.

Love this product.

rookie, to many pitchers , need more position player auto’s

Anyone know why the only Joey Bart card is a box topper?

Purchases a super jumbo box and was able to get a set of Bowman paper. Great hits on autos. Kelenic purple /250, Kelenic Class of 2018 /250, and Madrigal base auto. Got 131 of 200 Chrome out of the set with no dups. Lot of good high school prospects!! I always look forward to crack Bowman Draft.

While I’m not exactly crazy about the design for the 2018 Bowman Draft Baseball Cards I will say the company isn’t cheating any buyer of this product with the configuration of both the Jumbo & Super Jumbo boxes/packs.

The base configuration of the Hobby Jumbo Pack boxes are now selling for $99 which is very fair but I feel this price will be going up pretty soon.

That is a lot of cards whichever route anyone decides to go in making a purchase. You just don’t get this amount of cards with just about every other card company regardless of sport & card type.

After 2017 BD had only 3 new cards for Cleveland prospects, this years has 8! Im excited for that! Though the price is up there, worth it, this year, for the Cleveland prospects

Can someone tell me why Michael Grove (Dodgers #2 pick) not included in set. Their #1 did not sign so I figure you need him in there?

Why is the #8 overall pick, Kyler Murray not in this set? He took a $4M+ signing bonus. He has made it clear that he is going to play baseball. Why would Topps NOT want to print a card for this guy? The #4 pick has about 17 different cards in this set. Murray is 5’8″ at best, and somehow listed at 195. He’s not going to be an NFL QB. Billy Beane is to smart to draft a guy this high w/o knowing if he’s committed.

Was looking forward to a Kyler Murray card. Assuming that his college football status is the reason he doesn’t have one? I remember Ricky Williams having minor league cards when he was at Texas. I’m guessing the rules around this have changed? Anyone know?

Garbage. $100+ for a box is a ripoff.

Bowman and Topps have done a horrible job with the prospects they select for the cards. Topps has 3 products that highlight prospects: Bowman, Topps Pro Debut and Bowman Draft. As a Braves fan, with the vast number of prospects they have had the last few year, I have been underwhelmed with their choices. The same players are selected over and over. The last few years the Topps Pro Debut set was almost identical to the Bowman set that proceeded it. I didn’t even feel it was worth buying the Pro Debut set because I felt like I already owned it after purchasing the Bowman set.

The Bowman draft set has went backwards over the years. It seemed like there used to be about 6-8 draft picks per team. It has been scaled back quite a bit. This years set only has 1 player drafted by the Braves. The Braves did lose a few early picks, but still drafted several players that were ranked in the top 150 by several publications and also drafted a few under the radar guys. The only other Braves players available in this set are two of the same players that have been picked over and over again for Topps other sets. Hopefully Topps starts diversifying the players it chooses for its sets soon because I’m disappointed and losing interest.

Overall this appears to be a good draft class, especially for hitters and a few prized pitchers. The two best hitters look like they’ll be put into 2019 bowman (Beer/Bart). Was really excited for this product, but now a little tempered.

I really used to enjoy cracking Bowman Draft, but with the larger pack format at a much higher price per pack it almost prices me out, kinda of a bummer….
