2020 Bowman Draft Baseball Cards

Not only is this set a very expensive load of the Bowman red B paper cards that you may as well use for kindling the next time you go camping , it’s just another example of the Topps Company manipulating the card collecting people to force collectors to buy the junk paper to get the worthwhile chrome draft cards that are the highly sought after cards . Did anyone else notice that they managed to screw up all the Ed Howard BD – 98 cards by somehow making the lengthwise artwork border crooked ? If you look at any of his cards that on the front of the card , the left to right framework art is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top . Vice – versa on the other side . The very same thing applies to the back of the card .The printing plate itself had to have been cooked when it was made . The narrow end on both sides of the card is fine . Look at any card of Ed Howard BD – 98 and you will see it easily . The guy is a Cub and he is from Chicago and went to High School on the West Side . Doesn’t anybody check the artwork framing before they start printing . What an insult . He’s probably not the only player in this set with crooked artwork . Maybe the quality control person was in the break room eating rice cakes and squid instead of measuring the printing plate artwork border side to side lengthwise with a vernier caliper . Way to go Topps . Then charge you big money for a box . What nerve . Hey Trey , what year was it that Topps forced the paper card garbage to get the good chrome draft cards ? Please reply if you have time . Jim

The Asia “exclusive” mojo refractors are the exact same mojo refractors in the US mega boxes. I got sucked into buying Asia exclusive for this reason lol. My god I cannot wait until this overpriced ridiculous bubble pops.

An absolutely horrid and overpriced product. Most of the reviews I’m reading here zero in on the laughably large auto list and the relative dearth of non-base players. MY beef with this product, however, is located squarely in its putrid quality assurance. Someone got paid for this? Nevermind finding a sweet hit. Worry about that hit even being centered. As well, printer lines abound. I cracked several boxes-I kid you not, of the 100+ 1st round batters and autos i pulled, less than 5% passed the centering test. I have 3 dozen zac veens…2 of them are centered. And, this is just with the naked eye. We are able to use a telescope to look millions of light years away, actually look at almost the beginning of the universe itself… but Bowman can’t center even 1 of every twenty Nick Gonzales chrome base cards. Thinking about this product makes me want to take anger management classes. Horrible.

You will never get a return on investment buying a single box or a case for that matter. However, I didn’t know you need to make $500,000+ just to have a chance in the hobby these days. I would like to think Trey sees this as well!

Bought a jumbo box $300 plus tax. Simply not great for the price point. One Green, a blue auto of somebody nobody and the other two autos sell for less than $20.00 on eBay so for right now a huge crap shoot but then it is draft! I knew better so the only person to blame is me.

I opened 1 case of 8 jumbo and did receive my 24 Auto’s as promised. I was fortunate enough to get a Torkelson and a Garrett Mitchell. I did have 2 duplicate Auto’s. As a set builder set I was unsatisfied. I only was able to make 1 complete set of Chrome. The paper prospects gave me 8 complete sets. For the money you need a big color hit or you’ll get crushed.

disgusted, Topps is fishing in on the weekend flippers. the ones that just got into the hobby with $.. the ones that don’t know any better and spend spend spend to flip flip flip.

disgusted..

For the price point you get way to many base cards. Also, waaaay too many pitchers in this product and a ridiculously autograph checklist. Seems like a money grab. As a loyal Bowman collector I think I have purchased my last case.

So depressing that I have been priced out of the market. I used to ask for a box of this for Christmas. Not this year.

For what they’re charging you would think this is a premium product.

Disappointed there is no Austin Martin (I’m a big Vanderbilt fan) and that was one of the reasons I was looking forward to this product, which I try to buy every year. at least Ed Howard is in it. Too many repeats from regular Bowman this year (Dominiguez, Witt, etc.) But for prospecting, this is the set to have, no doubt. At least was lucky and got a Torkelson out of two First Edition packs bought directly from Topps

A CL with 118 autos….. you heard that right. 118 !!!!!! The number 1 guy could be Willie Mays that i would still give this thing one star. Considering the cost of this product… this is absolutely revolting.

Its too early to tell but the design is nice, IMO. The cost is crazy but considering todays trends, its hard to knock them for that. From a collectors standpoint, the price is a bit disappointing but from a dealer/breaker/flipper standpoint, its probably a good profit product!

The price is way too high, I won’t be able to afford that! That’s crazy!

This is a good product but has seen the price incredibly increase from other years. Might I remind you, bowman draft jumbo boxes were $150 only 2 years ago! Now Topps thinks that they can run it up to $350? That’s terrible! Nice going Topps, great job ruining the hobby.

No Austin Martin either…the guy who could have been 1st overall… and as someone else said 118 autos ?!??!! That’s so laughable… draft used to have 40-50 autos .. so 5th round picks are included ? So at $400 a box for 3 autos …your odds of breaking even are slim to none nevermind trying to make a profit. Won’t be buying this one

Wtf !!! Did anyone notice that Dominguez , Witt jr and Puason are not included in the Chrome Draft Picks Autograft Checklist ?????? How is this possible ? I preordered a super jumbo case and now 1 week before the release they post the checklist ! This changes everything ! Blowout better allow a refund cause I’m not having it !

118 Autos on the checklist! Wow! This always my favorite product but this year I’ll open in extreme moderation.

With the price point of jumbo and super jumbo being so close for a case, what do you think is the better option for a case? Super Jumbo has 6 more autos, but jumbo has exclusive hits. Plus I feel like you at least get 1 color auto in jumbo, where super jumbo you can easily get 5 base autos in a box.
I do love this product, but it is a long term investment to buy it.
