2019 Bowman Draft Set Review and Checklist

Here are my two boxes of 2019 Bowman Draft!

The hobby prospect hype train is full steam ahead as 2019 comes to a close.

The third and final mainstream Bowman release hit hobby shelves in early December in the form of Bowman Draft.  The set features 200 minor leaguers, including several who were members of the 2019 MLB Draft and are being featured on their first trading card.

The set includes nine out of the first ten draft picks including Adley Rutschman, Andrew Vaughn, CJ Abrams, and Hunter Bishop.

The Breakdown

The set includes a paper base set, as well as a chrome version.  A popular “rainbow” of colored parallels can be found inside packs with varying levels of scarcity for both the base cards and the chrome.  

The Base parallel’s are as follows:

It’s not every day you get a 1/1 in your box!

Sky Blue /499

Purple /250

Blue /150

Green /99

Gold /50

Orange /25

Red /5

Black /1

Printing Plates /1

The Chrome parallel’s are as follows:

Non-numbered refractor

Non-numbered Sky Blue

Purple /250

Non-numbered Sparkles

Blue /150

Green /99

Gold /50

Orange /25

Red /5

Superfractor /1

Printing Plates /1

There are also image variations for 14 chrome cards, and can be confirmed with the code on the back of the cards.  The variation code ends in 763.  Twelve of the variations also have an autographed version serial numbered to /99.

In addition to the base and chrome sets, Topps released four insert sets.  The 1989 Bowman 30th Anniversary Set includes ten cards, and, well, celebrates the 30th anniversary of Bowmans return to the market in 1989.  The ten card Draft Pick Breakdown, the 14 card Draft Progression Trios, and the ten card Franchise Futures sets all provide additional cards of several of the top prospects.  Numbered parallels are also available for all four insert sets.

On Card Chrome Autographs are one of the biggest features of the set, and the checklist runs deep with over 150 different cards.  Many of these also have parallels which only adds to the chase.  Jumbo boxes contain three autographs, and Super Jumbo boxes contain five.

Box Break

I was able to preorder two jumbo boxes, and I opened up one of them live on YouTube!


Between the two boxes I didn’t hit any huge names, but I did get a couple serial numbered autos and the 1/1 printing plate!  I have a lot of fun with this product, and if the prices were closer to the wholesale dealer cost, I’d be a buyer of a lot of sealed wax.  However, they aren’t, so I’m not.

This is a perfect product for set builders and other who love base cards.  Since so many people are chasing the autos and low serial numbered parallels, it is not uncommon for several boxes, or even a case worth of base, chrome, and inserts to be unloaded at a fraction of a box price on blowout forums or in your LCS.  For example, I picked up about 2,500 base, chrome and inserts for about $150.  The deals are there to be had folks!
