2023 Bowman: Insights and what to expect going forward.

 




Its been 2 and half weeks and Bowman does not fail the hobby with its gamma of the newest and hottest prospects per collectors choice! We will highlight so far the favorites and respective early prices. Names like : Lazaro Montes, Cam Collier, Josue De Paula, Junior Caminero, Gabriel Gonzalez, Justin Crawford and Spencer Jones among others have been the leaders of this set. The clear 5 star general price wise has been no other than Drew Jones.

We can expect in the coming months a market correction on prices, as the product will slow down and more product is opened up. As with other Bowman releases this current product has shown us many new parallels that for many new collectors are enjoyable, not so much for Bowman purists collectors. Blue lunar, Rose Lava , Green grass and Pearls are born in this historic release and to my knowledge not many collectors are happy on the introduction of more parallels. Pearl has been widely accepted  and more so with autographs been limited to only /10! Hobby boxes has a new feature added, and that is a 1 per box Pearl pack with the possibility of a Pearl auto out of /10! This is a plus in my book for collectors on a budget and not willing to spend on the jumbo box. 


This years release has been a little ruff on breakers, have seen many instances of they not been able to fill the breaks as many of the teams have either good prospects or just do not have any autos as the case for the Washington Nationals. My impressions so far are that many new collectors have joined the ranks of Bowman collecting and that many people out there are not studying or prospecting correctly when it comes to buying autographs in the open market. This will leave a lot of early investors in a loss of capital when market corrects it self in the coming weeks.


Top ten players on eBay and private market are for regular autos are taken into consideration here:


1. Druw Jones $530 Average - After Market Correction Prediction $275

2. Junior Caminero - $261 Average - After Market Correction Prediction $225

3. Spencer Jones - $240 Average - After Market Correction Prediction $200

4. Cam Collier - $195 Average - After Market Correction Prediction $150

5. Matt Mervis - $185 Average - After Market Correction Prediction $160

6. Lazaro Montes - $105 Average - After Market Correction Prediction $80

7. Justin Crawford - $95 Average - After Market Correction Prediction $75

8. Gabriel Gonzalez- $76 Average - After Market Correction Prediction $55

9. Josue De Paula - $61 Average -  After Market Correction Prediction $50

10. Gabriel Gonzalez- $76 Average - After Market Correction Prediction $55


All of the samples reflect current market prices and will eventually depend on prospects productivity and injury factors as you may already know. Color autos have been much more active and very volatile as it is a common thing with new Bowman releases. Pearl Autos are commanding premiums as they have taken a liking to collectors out there and been a new parallel. My advice is if your going for true colors autos and low serial number parallels you should buy with extreme carefulness. Remember always invest what you are willing to loose!
