We continue with more 2018 Bowman cards from the BASEball lot, and today we get Chrome-d.
As you can see, the Chrome design is similar to the base set, and going in, I wasn't sure if Chrome here would be the separate product, but it's actually all inserts so, plus for me as it makes these cards keepers and listed as inserts to me. I always look at Bowman moreso about the inserts to the point, they are like subsets of a base set, but maybe it's just me.
Wasn't just Chrome today though - some Bowman's Best set too.
I am not going to try and build this set, but the handful of refractors will be kept given they are parallels. My biggest takeaway from it, I can at least give Bowman points for making refractors easier to spot with the wording on the back. I am sure some don't like this, but it does make it MUCH easier to know exactly what you have.
I did feel a little duped when I found out that the TP numbered cards were part of the base set - I mean - why renumber a subset? Definitely not how I'd handle, but whatever....lol...
Well, at least I did get a good start on Bowman's Best if anyone is interested in taking the bunch from me. Definitely not changing my mind and going for it, so happy to find a new home for that set, or any of the others even in piecemeal, for any interested party.
