Bowman Draft is an excellent issue following on the footsteps of previous Bowman products this year. One should receive a complete set of paper Bowman Draft, a reasonably good start to the chrome set (BDC), a good number of refractors, along with extras for trading, selling, etc. in your box. With 12 packs and 32 cards per pack, one receives 384 cards.... this seems to me to be a pretty good deal -- PLUS inserts, and 3 on card autos.

The design is the same as previous Bowman issues in '18. The set collector/builder and the player collector should be pleased with the issue. One will have a number of parallels to chase - regular refractor, various colors - red, blue, gold, green, etc. along with autos in the same colors.

Overall grade A+

Go buy several boxes and send the Rays chromes along with the Rays chrome parallels to me!!

Any interest in these?
2013 Bowman Jesse Hahn auto #BPA-JH blue #'d 166/500
2014 Tier One New Guard Autograph Enny Romero #NGA-ER #'d 044/399

Have a few 2018 RCs of Anthony Banda a 2018 B Platinum Tops Prospect of B McKay, might be able to dig up a few others.


Do you have any current Rays? i am sure we can work out at trade...
