2014 Bowman Football Cards

Haven’t opened any hobby box’s but I have opened MANY packs. I must say, I pulled a 1/1 Jimmy Garoppolo GREEN Rainbow!!!! Pretty stoked at how lucky I got, now i just need ol’ Jimmy to actually pan out. Yet to pull any Autos, Dies or Refractors though. Will continue to open packs of this set.

The generic uniforms and lack of team names on the autos are disappointing, but if that’s what was necessary to give us on-card autos instead of stickers then I’m all for it.

Overall, the card presentation is very nice and with 5 hits per box it is reasonably priced. Three of my hits were no-names, but a Joe Flacco relic and a gold auto rookie refractor of Jordan Matthews more than made up for it. I also pulled a Matt Ryan silver parallel, a very cool blue parallel die-cut of RG3, and a red Sammy Watkins refractor numbered to 199. Nice!

Awesome cards for a good price! First set I’ve ever built and it was easy and fun. Auto’s are nice too

I’m confused about one of the NFL Bowman Auto redemptions. It says that the player will be in their NFL uniform taken at the NFLPA Rookie Premiere. I have a redemption for C.J. Mosley and I don’t think he was there at the Rookie Premiere. I didn’t see him on the attendance list or in the group photo of all of the attendees. Any help on this would be great. Thanks.

Ryan, have you seen any variations in the cards? Reason I ask is that I have a couple like#18 I have Antonio Andrews RC on one and Denard Robinson on the other#18 and $15 I have Ed Stinson RC and Aaron Dobson on the other…. any info would be appreciated! Thanks! Keep up the good work!

Over all designs are nice :) I like the rainbows and the die cuts but most of all the chrome rookie autographs! Havent’ landed one yet but I will!

I have bought several boxes and am overall very pleased with the hits that I received. I have built the Rookie base card set twice still working on the 2nd Veteran base card set.
I was wondering thought can anyone tell me what the difference in the white bordered and black bordered base cards are.

Got one box and liked the product!!! Bowman always does the rookies proud. Lucked out and got a Damien Williams auto x-fractor /10 and a Conner Shaw auto . Will probably get another box and try to build a set.

Pulled a Orange Chrome Bishop Sankey(20/50) refractor along with regular Chrome autos of Bradley Roby, Devin Street, and Andre Williams. Also got several rookie parallels including a gold AJ McCarron refractor and Red Lache Seastrunk refractor. The relic was a regular Deandre Hopkins. For the price($100), its worth buying a box or two. I plan on buying at least one more.

No Neal or Richardson mini autographs listed on Ebay yet — do they even have any is that a fake checklist they put out ? Awful artwork on the minis anyway

only 4 charger cards no rivers or waddle damn bowman is topps going to be the sane hope note

Wow, I guess the Dallas Cowboys only drafted one player this year and Ahmad Dixon is his name, a 7th round pick. Why did Bowman leave off Dallas’s 1st round pick, Zack Martin or their second round pick DeMarcus Lawrence. Someone must have drank the coolaid at Topps during the selection period.

I might rate Bowman better if it were not for all of the subsets. Will someone please tell Topps enough is enough. They have 13, count them 13 subsets on the base cards alone. Topps has heard 13 is an unlucky number, right. This product would be much better with only about six or seven subsets.

I pulled a redemption jalen saunders nfl bowman autograph that you do not have on your list any idea how many are made?

Ryan – I’ve not seen ANY Cody Latimer autos pulled. Is it a super SP or can you confirm that it wasn’t produced? Thanks!

I like this for the beginning of the 2014 collecting class. Good cards to get graded if you get a chrome hit.

Liking this set somewhat..question though…the redemption cards…what are these numbered to? I saw a Landry on Ebay that said #/5. I just can’t find that information anywhere to verify it.

I understand some of the issues collectors have with first of the year products but everyone must understand that these cards are entry level items. 2014 Panini Score and 2014 Topps Bowman Chrome definitely fall into this category among many others not mentioned here.

Personally, in my humble opinion, I don’t take these type of products too seriously! As it is an entry level product, I treat them so.

I normally forgoe the hobby releases and go to a big ticket merchant and purchase blaster boxes of first of the year cards. This concept allows me to have fun, enjoy such an inexpensive product and not worry about it’s book value. Ultimately, placing these cards in an album suffices for my taste.

I’ve only opened a half blaster box yet was pleasantly surprised by how many hits and or inserts were pulled from this break. I’m excited to see what the other half holds.

The base cards are similar with last years design as this presents a; “I’m not too excited about the base cards” syndrome. The colored inserts followed 2013’s product but the difference maker as well as a fresh insert was the 1950 Bowman throwback of Bryn Renner, a relic card of Julio Jones, Colin Kaepernick foil die cut, and a gold foil Jason Verrett numbered to 399 and a orange Jordan Mathews numbered to 299 parallel respectively. As for the blaster box, it was a nice break, decent base cards, great inserts that were the difference maker in this product, and finally the ubiqiutos standard colored parallels.

Will another purchase be necessary? No. I’ll be saving my funds for the National Card Show here at the IX Center in Cleveland, Ohio and looking forward to my all time favorite go to product of Certified, Elite, Chrome, and Platinum! With a stronger rookie class to look forward to compared to last years 2013 Draft Class disappointment, we as collectors have something to look forward to.

I think this checklist that topps released was wrong.. many of the autographs are not in the product…David Fales does not have a bowman auto…

I have a mack nfl auto redemption. Does anyone know the.number of this?

Really they couldn’t put Davante Adams WR GB Packers in their base rc set but they have so many guys who didn’t even get drafted. Thanks alot. A 2nd Rnd WR who caught over 20TD passes last year doesn’t make your cut. His only auto’s are the /25 from the RC premiere. Won’t be getting any of my $$$ I’ll wait for a real product to come out.

Over 100 autographs???? Come on Topps this is beyond overkill. I’m fine if these guys are all first 3 rounds but 25% of the hits are players not even on an NFL roster!!!!!

Any idea when the check list will be released? I can’t wait to buy a jumbo box.

To the staff at CBC and Ryan/Mike,

Wow, I gave you and your team five stars for having this information ready the day after Thanksgiving!

You all work way too hard! But I understand. I played jazz for over 30 years. I got to travel and receive a really fantastic income. For me, just playing jazz was my dream and I loved it. It was my passion. To get payed was just icing on the cake.

Keep up the great job, keep the passion alive, and I’ll definitely purchase some ’14 Bowman when it debuts.

Thank you,
Toshi
