2019 Bowman Platinum Baseball Cards

Hello Trey,

Any updates on the 2020 Bowman Platinum? Shouldn’t it been out already? Has it been pushed back ?

I personally really like this product a lot. I think, especially for younger hobbyist, it offers them something they might not otherwise be able to get their hands on. A 12 year old kid is going to be at Walmart more often than his local card shop. Nevertheless, you do a great job on here and I appreciate your efforts. I have a slight correction for the checklist though. Is there a proper channel to go through, or should I just post it on here?

Keep up the hard work

Hey Trey, I think you made a small error in your product checklist because the way you have the odds numbered between the Gold version and the orange version of the top prospect cards, the orange version which is numbered / 25 is easier to pull them the Gold version that is numbered / 50? This cannot be right, I believe you have your ratios incorrect as far as chances of pulling. Just thought I’d mention that and maybe you can correct it. Keep up the good work you do a great job. Jim

Pulled a few things so far however the hardest thing to tell is the sky blue parallels in the fat retail packs. The regular cards are shiny enough it’s difficult to detect what’s different. I believe I may have Pete Alonso’s sky blue. Anyone else have this trouble??

I’d rate this product higher if I could pull an autograph or hit to get real excited about. The mega boxes are okay if not vastly overpriced. Don’t waste time on the blaster boxes with only 4 cards per pack and inserts/hits are very few in blasters.

I think that for a low-end card set the Bowman Platinum cards are very nice and colorful. I believe personally that the Topps company has made a noticeable Improvement on the quality of the cards as there is not as much Edge chipping as there has been in the past with this specific brand of cards. I give this set 4 stars mainly due to the Improvement of the quality of the card.

Does anyone know about the 2019 Topps Bowman Platinum National Baseball Card Day Special Cards???? I pre-ordered some hanger boxes but I can not find any details about them. They are Retail exclusive.

Every auto card I pulled was sticker. They should not put on the box “ a look for new on card autograph content”. Because most of us are still looking.
From what I can tell, the on card autos are on the higher end, tough to pull cards.
Topps puts less cards in Mega and Blaster boxes, therefore, making it much less value wise. Both Mega boxes I cracked were weak to say the least. Card design same ole same ole…please drop the exclusive licensing MLB..I beg you.

Can you confirm if the 4 rookies are truly short printed? I’ve had an easier time pulling them than I have had pulling their regularly printed counterparts. I have yet to pull a Betts, Allard, or Hudson. I’ve pulled a few Haders but I’ve also pulled 3 Jimenez & 2 Vlad Jr. Just curious how SP they really are.
Thanks

They look just like last year’s. All shiny and shiny and kinda shiny. Hire some new card designers. Same old same old. Boring!

How can you tell which are refractors? Wished they were labeled as such or at least use a different code #

Broke two Mega boxes and both boxes had the same player inserts. Only received 2 refractors in each box. Very disappointed.

Underwhelming like most of what Topps has done this season. They charge more for less cards and the product is no better than previous years. The market is flooded so instead of spending big money on boxes, just go to eBay and buy the SPs or your favorite players.

opened 4 monsters and 2 blasters…10 TOP cards short of a full set. Is it to much to ask for a full set out of that many packs? All 8 autos were stickers. No image variations. Did get all 4 SP RC’s. Certainly not worth the $$ spent, therefore the 3 stars.

Love this product, but it’s hard to get your hands on a monster box. I’m getting really sick and tired of people grabbing them all up and then reselling them for twice the price on eBay.

I do have one question about the parallels…. Isn’t there a sky Blue refractor that comes with every fat pack? I didn’t see it listed. I just want confirmation that it’s a thing and i’m just not seeing different colors…lol

Sorry I cant stand variation rookie cards. Just make them a part of the regular set or don’t make them at all. Its fine if they want to make all the rookies SP cards but at least make them regular cards not variations.

Broke a couple of boxes and pulled a SP
Guerrero jr. in one and an Alonso in the other.
Stock is thin as Ron pointed out but I had no
damage to any of my cards.

I love this product. cards are really cool.

Broke one box today and both autos were stickers, so at least with my box NOT ON card autographs. Paper stock is really thin so damaged cards is certainly possible. Not overly impressed. Will not be buying any more.

Trey, any word if the autos on card or stickers?
