2015 Bowman Chrome Baseball Cards

Thanks very much for clearing that up for me with your reply Trey . I appreciate it very much .

There are a lot of good rookie and prospects in this set and the cards have borders on both sides which is a plus . The artwork is a little bit on the plain side but overall they are good looking cards . I have a question for you Trey concerning the sky blue parellel cards in this years set . What form of packaging did the sky blue and the black asia parellel cards come in ? I read through the product information and couldn’t find anything about these 2 specific parellels . I would appreciate it if you could reply and let me know more information about these 2 specific parellel colored cards .
Thanks very much for your time and help .

Pulled a 2014 Bowman Draft Conforto Auto from a box of 2015 Bowman Chrome last night. Any idea why?

I pulled autos of the top 2 Picks of the 2015 Draft, the #1 pick of the 2014 Draft and the #14 Pick of the 2015 Draft so this exactly what I expected from a chrome product and loved it!

My point is biased because I got a 1/1 super refractor of Grayson Griener in a $12 pack

I think this is a nice set, but it is not sold at regular stores and in small quantities, so therefore I will likely not be purchasing any. It also, like ervery other Topps set, fails to see that high profile phillies rookies need cards. (For example, last year’s update series included no Giles card, and this year has no Nola card) The lack of a Nola card ruins it for me, but the bowman cards this year are neat, (Especially the chrome paralells) despite their sort of high price.

4 Stars, could be better but isn’t that what Bowman Chrome is supposed to be, just random young guys who may or may not make it? Glad I got a Twitter pack coming in the mail, that’s what’s up, hope I get someone half decent but the long checklist makes me nervous. Lots of those guys have been used and abused by now. I always usually get lucky with colored auto refractors out of my boxes but not so with Bowman Chrome this year, just all base and nobody I really PC but thems the breaks. Last year I killed it with Bowman and Chrome, got a Bryant Base auto and then a Bryant Lucky Redemption Refractor BGS gave a 9.5 w10 auto. This year I got some dudes who can barely sign their name in English. It happens.

It’s a joke that people pay more for the first card, last card, or jersey number but the fact panini or leaf has to have a team logo to make it better is laughable! Most but not all are paying for the player & his autograph! When a player gets traded do you pay more because now he’s on the Cubs instead of the A’s??? I opened one box as I’m not someone willing to waste money on 22 cases to barely get what I want or cross my fingers to get whom I want. The one box probably couldn’t even get me $25! The only people who make money besides topps and grading companies are the case breakers just flipping the stuff! First it was Harper/trout/strasburg now it’s Bryant/Correa/Schwarber! This product barely differentiates itself yr to yr and is porus! When said prospect orange chrome autos are going for $250-$300 for a nobody, you know it’s just a money maker for topps, the graders, breakers, and selling sites! This isn’t a hobby anymore but a dartboard of hoping you get something good! When you check these selling sites & see that your players card is already pulled what’s the point of buying the product to open? It takes the fun out of opening it! What’s sad is the one main site to sell allows big sellers to open many accounts and bid their listings up! For some it’s a hobby still but every time I read these people on here who open tons of cases or even one and complain are a joke! Enjoy it! Don’t think about $$$$$$! Cause that’s the problem it’s all about the $$$$$ than anything to most of you! Not all but most! Sad that this is today’s hobby…

Base Checklist stinks

Was excited to crack some cases,, purchased 22 cases and then, first case cracked a Michael De leon SuperFractor Auto, second case, 2 conforto autos and a bryant redemption in same case.. also seems to be alot of auto and base cards with factory scratches.. Never have that issue with Panini…

would have like to see something done about the scratches on the cards … love bowman chrome but this is upsetting..

This will be ok. But thinking Panini will do anything to chrome is kinda out there. Till they actually pay for team logos on the cards, they will never catch chrome. Too many people out there want to see their team logo on the card on rookie cards. If they have a mlb stuff out there with team logos, then I stand corrected.

As has been mentioned above, the absence of a stud vet like Mike Trout, a remarkable rookie in Correa coupled with the 3rd iteration of this product to feature a Kris Bryant prospect / rookie card (he’s had autos the last 3 seasons).. does render the product something of a disappointment. Bowman remains THE home of the prospect, but Topps had best watch the rear-view…. Panini will be coming up fast.

Ernie, what you have are orange wave refractors, not regular orange refractors that are #’d to 25. These are un-numbered, and waves always come like that, in groups of multiple cards. In some cases waves are numbered, just not these particular ones.

I like the chrome. Better texture. I just openned a hot back of 4 orange refractors. Flipped the card no serial number. Could this be a misprint. Forgot the #25? Anyone else have this type of hot pack. Thanks

No McCutchen? No Sale for Me!

Just opened 2 boxes, I think it gave me a STD. This product is trash

Not bad, they do have a trout dual auto. And they do have Schwaber as well. It isn’t to expensive for a box.

Makes about as much sense as hot rookies did last year, but yet it still gets made every year. Also, WTF, you’ve had Sano in every frickin prospect set since 2010, yet, when he actually gets called up and can have real rookie cards, he’s not in it

How do you NOT have Jose Abreu, Chris Sale and Mike Trout in this set?

Seriously?! I can count the number of Cardinals cards on a three hands. Pathetic…

Correa is 110 Joe. I had trouble finding him too. Best product of 2015 in my opinion with Bryant and Correa rookie cards in a quality card. Hobby boxes are more expensive it seems though. As if they weren’t expensive enough. I wonder if Topps update will get Kyle Schwarber.

This Set probably Would have been An Above Average Product if it had Cubs New Sensation KYLE SCHWARBER . But he’s Nowhere to be found unless i overlooked it. So basically it’s just a Redo of the Regular Bowman Set without the paper base. In the future i think it would help the set if Topps Changed up the Design to make it stand out from the Previous Bowman set of earlier in the year.

Will there be retail or just hobby?

Where’s Correa?

One name, Kris Bryant Bowman Rookie Cards!!!! They held a lot of top vets out of Bowman like Miguel Cabrera, JV, etc so this may be going to the form of series 2 like some of the rumors…. I would also rather have a vet chrome set than paper so it does have some draw to the product!

I would rather have Chrome than the base set. It’s a crisper-cleaner card. It is all preference to the individual collector. Topps brand cards are all we have right now unless you don’t mind the generic look of Panini, Upper Deck, etc.

A great looking product, but like Stephen said, not really a need with chrome in the regular Bowman.

This set is really just a money maker for Topps. The normal Bowman set is fine, but this set is useless. The only reason that this set could possibly be good is that you get two autographs per hobby box, instead of one. Unless you are a rookie autograph collector, you should avoid this product at all costs.
