My son and i want to buy a case or two of baseball cards. Is 2014 bowman chrome filled with good prospects or should we wait and preorder 2015 bowman chrome jumbo? I haven't bought a box of cards since the 80s so need yall advice. Thank you

If you're looking for good prospects, then draft is the way to go. Chrome is only good if you want a lot of color because the auto checklist usually sucks.

Stay far away from all Bowman Chrome products and go with either regular Bowman or Bowman Draft. Personally I'd wait for Draft to come out. Always a fun break.

If you're hoping to pull a Superfractor without buying 50 cases, you will be disappointed.

You can pull superfractors from any recent Bowman product (with the exception of Inception).
But if you're only buying 1 case don't go in expecting to pull one. They aren't easy to pull.

Go with 2011 bowman chrome...if you don't get lucky enough to hit harper, you will most likely hit chris archer or sonny gray

Investment wise though Bowman Draft is the best, right? I know investment and sports card hobby are a bad combo but we just want to break product that is most bang for the buck.

2014 Bowman Draft is the way to go. Get two hobby cases instead of one of Bowman Chrome.

Is there really a difference between JUMBO and regular packs/products?

False. Sonny Gray is in 2011 Bowman Draft.
Also, if you don't pull a Harper your chances of pulling a Chris Archer auto is exactly the same as pulling a Cutter Dykstra or Melky Mesa auto.
2011 Bowman Chrome has some good players to pull (Marte, Archer, Moore, Harper, Segura) but overall it's not a great break. 2011 Bowman Draft is a better product IMO.

Jumbo cases have much more autographs but generally they have less non-auto color refractors.

His first rookie is in 2011 Update, though he has one in 2011 Draft as well.

What do you want to get out of the case break? Sets? Prospects? Veterans? Also price point would help

He has a RC in 2011 BC and draft. I believe the BC card is SP. just take $200 or less and buy it PSA 10 in eBay.

Looking to open packs and hit a white whale like a superfractor of a top prospect or orange/ red refractors rc autos.

2012 Bowman draft was very strong. Not sure which superfractors were pulled. You could also buy 2014 bowman draft and go Schwarber hunting.

Favorite bowman from the past years is 2013 Draft. The wave autos plus good crop of base autos and also I believe under armour or aflac also.
If unlimited funds do a bowman draft case from 2009-2014, or 80 lol
