Ivan Herrera ($300) Second catcher on the board, and rightly so. Potentially worth a flyer if he can be acquired for cheap. High variance where he could end up as a Quad-A type or hit 40 bombs. I am staying away.Īnthony Garcia ($300) Big kid with 80 raw power potential at some point. Raimfer Salinas ($325) Highly touted J2 signee in 2017, but has yet to perform up to those expectations and hit tool doubts are growing. Oswald Peraza ($325) Defense, hit tool, speed, but unlikely to have much more than average power which will keep me away. Nico Hulsizer ($350) Three true outcomes player, 1st Bowman already in a previous product, which pushes him off of my radar. The second of the two players I am very interested in for this tier. Jhon Torres ($350) Raw athlete with all the tools that may need a decent amount of development time. One of the two players I am very interested in for this tier. Project with potential if his game power can be unlocked. Vaughn Grissom ($380) Smart kid with raw power on the left side of the infield. Strong 2018 but rough 2019 leaves me on the fence for his cards. Interesting flyer to take depending on where his price point ends up.Īntonio Cabello ($390) Power/speed profile, which is one of the things we look for.

Michael Harris ($400) Pop-up prospect that could have some surprising potential if unlocked through development. Wilderd Patino ($425) Similar to Jimenez, speedy OF with average hit/power tools that has fourth outfielder risk - invest elsewhere Gilberto Jimenez ($450) Top of the order speedy CF with little pop - not a prospect card profile with high upside Tier 2 Hitters - These are the prospects who went between $300 and $500: But I will be going out of my way to acquire at least a few Luis Matos cards as I am bullish on him. A tough call for me with my Giants orange-colored glasses on. Luis Matos ($753) His power tool needs to keep blossoming and he needs to find a spot in a crowded Giants outfield pipeline.

Athletic with a beautiful swing and plus power potential - sign me up.įrancisco Alvarez ($780) The top catcher and rightly the most expensive one in this product, but he is still a catcher which makes it a tough investment proposition at the price point. With the top two prospects being Texas Rangers, that break spot is likely going to be the most expensive/desirable choice for the first time in a while.Įrick Pena ($900) A player I am smitten with and will recommend the investment is worth the price, high as it likely will be. There is some name value driving his prices in my opinion and like Lora I will not be targeting him at his probable price point.

LuisAngel Acuna ($1,200) While talented, is not a power hitter like his older brother. If I end up with his card, awesome, but I can’t see going out of my way for it. They probably held back the autos from 2020 Bowman Baseball, perhaps because they didn’t get them back in time from Lora. It looks like Topps has his autos with the 1st logo, but his base cards with no 1st logo. Tier 1 Hitters - These are the prospects who went for $500 or more in the Cheap Fun Breaks Pick Your Player (PYP) 10 case auction:īayron Lora ($2,125) The top attraction in this product. Here are my thoughts on what we see for the main attraction with the checklist for prospect autographs. This is the option for the collectors not interested in base cards.īowman Chrome prospect autographs bring all the hobby collectors to the yard. One pack with 3 cards, all of which are your guaranteed hits. The HTA Choice option comes in around $315 and guarantees 3 autographed cards - and that’s it. You will get 12 packs per box with 5 cards per pack, all of which are chrome cards (unlike Bowman Baseball and Draft which include Paper cards). Hobby is the cheaper option at around $250 or a little more and guarantees 2 autographed cards.

The configurations come in two flavors - Hobby and HTA Choice. One caveat - all of this information is based off of the currently known checklist, which can be inaccurate (the first checklist Topps publicized for this product was missing something like 19 prospect autos). As usual, there will also be various insert sets that are comprised of prospects and/or MLB players with a special “Farm to Fame” set with autographs by some of the living greats of the game such as Nolan Ryan, Cal Ripken, Jr. You will find 75 base prospect autographed cards and 18 base rookie autographed cards. There is going to be your base sets for MLB players 100 cards deep and for prospects also 100 cards deep (hoping this changes for the better because at the moment, the base prospect checklist is not good). The product design is going to be familiar to anyone that has picked up 2020 Bowman Baseball - essentially looking the same for the base cards.
