The Bowman Scouts Top 100 prospects returns for another year. There are also autographed versions of these cards which have appeared in the past five or so Bowman products. I have never assembled this complete insert set in previous years, but mainly just focus on picking up the Cardinals and Rays in the set. I pulled an Alex Reyes, so that saves me one trade or purchase.....
These flashback cards from 1990 are my favorite thing about this post. Oh, and there are autographed versions of these cards too. The set features Moises Alou, as a Pirate, Juan Gonzalez, Marquis Grissom, and Frank Thomas. I am a little bit disappointed that Tood Zeile was not included. I am going to pick up the non-autographed versions of these cards at the least. Marquis Grissom? Moises Alou? Might see an autograph of those two before the end of the summer......
The minis are nice. I like the minis. If the parallels were all in miniature version I would probably like them a lot more. The Rodon in the middle was a welcome pull and shows the base design of the mini set. I also pulled a Piscotty which is flipped over to show the back. Each team has five minis, their five best prospects, which are also included in the set. So, in other words, not necessarily the team's five best prospects, just the five best prospects from that team featured in Bowman. The Berrios is blue and serial numbered to 250. There are probably four other colored versions of that card....
You can tell I may not be the biggest fan of the colored/rainbow parallels, but hey those 1990 throwbacks.....Have a great day.
Cool, nice to hear Marquis finally got a decent certified auto out there. I'll have to keep an eye out for that.
