2023 Bowman Baseball Cards Checklist

Remember back in History; What happened to the auto business when they flooded the market with all different brands of vehicles? Seem familiar? I’m out.

One Walmart blaster delivered today for 27.00 not bad purchased online. One auto and one numbered card to 199. Got all the good paper rookies and a few level 1 or 2 prospects. Pretty happy and will buy one or two more boxes

over priced for what you get

Opened retail blaster from Target. 72 cards total. Undecided? Not anything too awesome. No numbered cards. Got a couple decent parallels – no one huge. Managed a Rutsman RC and Michael Harris RC, Nolan Gorman RC, for the PC. Jeremy Pena card had a print line going right thru the middle. Totally agree QC could be better for the money this box cost me. Wander base and Julio base was nice but that’s about it. Not sure if I’ll try another box. Would like to at least get a Druw Jones base card. May be better to just buy singles on eBay like another person said earlier. $3 versus $35! I’m going to have to wait and see how these rookies do also. So for now, going to put the brakes on this product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a Bowman fanatic and splurge on cases twice a year….Bowman and Draft. Not very impressed with what I pulled from 2 cases from Dave and Adams. One box was missing the promised auto card. The number of top tier prospects in the 2023 Bowman release coming through the pipeline is not impressive when you cross match with top 30 prospects for each MLB team. There will be some happy, surprise exceptions but probably pretty minimal. Should have kept to my original game plan and just gone singles searching on EBay for the best auto cards. Bowman paper cards are nice to look at but worthless.

Are they doing Fat Pack for 2023 Bowman? Haven’t seen or heard anything

I got one card in 2023 Bowman hobby box that appears to be some sort of cracked ice. It isn’t numbered and doesn’t appear in the list of parallels above. Any idea what it is?

Bought a blaster from Wal-Mart, and most of the paper cards were dinged, bent, or chipped on the bottom left corner. Usually Bowman has at least a fun factor to it with all the inserts and parallels but quality killed any of that. Plus the 10 dollar jump is ridiculous especially when there is no quality control. This is not the first box of 2023 topps that had multiple cards in multiple packs with bends or dents that I have opened either. Collectors should not have to worry about whether the majority of the box is ruined. Avoid any topps unless you want to gamble with quality.

Lucky to pull some decent hits, however quality control is just embarrassing, the simplest of concepts just don’t allow the dented, roller marked garbage to enter the population. But noooo.

as with most Bowman releases .. they keep a couple of higher picks/names for this product…
but beyond those names the drop off is substantial…..
if you get one of the top few guys autos congrats and cash in now to get some money back..
but the vast HUGE majority of the ‘first’ autos in this years products are not gonna come close to maybe peaking at double-A
boxes of this should remain available at much lower prices very soon… after the initial breakers breaking cases period runs through its normal cycle…
dumb breakers keep trying to fool you by harping on ‘ooh all the parallels.. thats what you want’ but when the players mostly suck… then if they dont mention that..
then you should be listening to other breakers

Bowman is one of my favorite products to open. I ordered 2 jumbo boxes. Plan on opening one and keeping the other one sealed.

typical bowman…solid potential, but massive checklist and price point…avoid boxes…go for singles.

What is with the “various” quantities on the auto prospect parallels?

Also, what is the DB EA HH box and what are the VB SE and VB EA?

They are making this way too complicated and it feels like it’s going to just destroy the hobby.

I’ve been in love with bowman, bow chrome, draft, etc. for many many years. I use to buy at least a case of each, for many many years. I had to stop in 2020. Because TOPPS PRICE INCREASES ARE INSANE. I understand inflation, but it’s beyond that. When a company of any kind increases the price(in my opinion dramatically) more and more every year but does not offer anything more for the money, they are f-ing us without using lub and they don’t even have the decency to buy us dinner first. And to boot they increase the print run. actually lowering the value of the cards in the long run. But I quess we can thank all those great breakers for helping pay ridiculously over srp.

30 different color variations for Chrome prospects? C’mon Man!

Wow! Always nice cards and a fun set to collect. Sadly the low iq investor typed pay insane prices for these from flippers. No thanks you can keep your over priced and produced wax. This is a hobby.
