Someone is up to no good...

That looks incomplete without the parallel color on the bottom

SacKingsR1 · 04-25-2023, 10:58 AM

And a 2023 Bowman Chrome Orange Unsigned? Disgruntled Topps employee stealing unsigned and signed cards? Obviously the unsigned is not because he forgot to sign, but seems to be because it never made it to the player.

I feel it is actually making the design pop more; so I like the new Chrome colors

no10pin · 04-25-2023, 10:59 AM

He sold this one a couple of weeks ago too

Doesn't look much like this guy's BC autos, who knows if it made it to the player or not.

Serial number stamping looks off also.

Here is the link to the other unsigned card auction!

Do we know what’s happening here? Employee theft leaking cards? Someone producing fake chrome?

Topps started that larger font numbering on 2022 Bowman Draft I think. I hate it but I am not surprised it transferred to 2023 Bowman Chrome and 2023 Topps Chrome.

Interesting, it was actually a way for me to tell the difference between 2022 Bowman + BC from 2022 Bowman Draft. The smaller font was way nicer and not sure why Topps had to ruin it (especially the same year as it looks weird with same year Bowman Chrome with different fonts put together).

The flagship parallels have the white at the bottom.

You're right! I haven't had as much S1 as previous years, so haven't given it a ton of looks

I tweeted both Topps and Ebay about the Steer auto and within an hour it was unlisted. Might have to do the same with the Bowman.

DO IT

Not sure if this is fake or real, but this (for the most part) is exactly what they will look like. My biggest issue is...Topps/Fanatics has to start finding some creativity. Parallel exhaustion is very real. Coloring of just the border is lazy and sad. Hobbyist love cards because they make them feel a certain way. Because they look cool. They mean something. This crap is uninspiring.

Look at Stadium Club. All they did was color the font a different color. Seems like they are spending more time on product off-shoots and inserts.

I think it was 2020 Tribute. First time I noticed it at least.

Hi

I know 2023 Topps Chrome Baseball wont be out until October..

Currently Caleb Kilian Rookie cards will be in this product and we could possibly see SPENCER STEER / FREDDIE FERMIN / MICHAEL PAPIERSKI / MICHAEL SIANI and a few others if they get called up soon.
at $250 / hobby box doesnt it sound to good to be true?

Kilians Base Rookie will probably sell for $50-$75 while Steer-Fermin could be in the $25-50 range.

By this time PSA should have a $35-50 grading level

Any thoughts on the potential of this product as well as the current price?

I think it could be one of the hottest products if not the hottest of these past years.

2023 Series 1 and 2022 Topps Update parallels are so stupid looking. Honestly, the parallel exhaustion plus adding many more autos to the checklist makes it not very fun to rip bowman any more. I can't remember a Bowman set I have not ripped in last 5 years but 2023 might be the first. I'm sure i'll cave at some point but only because I'm a degenerate.

It's always been this way. The parallels is SC are the dumbest of any kind for sure. The throw back autos out of SCC are absolute fire and some cool SPs but when I saw the J Rod SC auto I laughed. SC is all about good images and J Rod has to have the worst images in the whole product.

as long as it continues to sell out, they will not change.

id bet they add more colors though, so they can print more!

cj828282 · 06-23-2023, 02:38 PM

Looks like presale information is starting to come out for this. Don’t expect reasonable prices.

Oh release date is currently 7/26.
