Having read a lot of the prior posts here and done some research on my own, the Bowman Chrome autos seem to be in a league of their own (pitching image #BCRASO more desirable than batting image #CRASO) at least in terms of prices (not sure if the massive price premium is deserving over the long term?), followed by Topps Chrome (Sapphire #AC-SO and #RA-SO), and then followed by the next tier of brands.
Just taking a look at some of the higher-end numbered rookie autos auctioned in the last couple of days:
- Topps Chrome RA Orange Refractor /25 PSA10 sold for $30k
- Bowman Chrome RA Orange Refractor /25 PSA9 sold for $74k
- Bowman's Best Best of '18 Atomic Auto /25 PSA10 sold for $13k
- and then I see on eBay a Topps Chrome Sapphire Orange /25 PSA10 being offered at $32k...
Trying to make sense on the Relative value here... Thanks.

Batting is BCRASO and Pitching is CRASO. Bowman autos simply have the running pedigree advantage when you look at other player's equivalent cards and wax prices. Not to say it can't change, but it doesn't look probable. If you're looking for the intersection of value/pedigree, it's probably a TC parallel.
Right now, everyone is looking for an Ohtani auto so it's hard to say it's a great time to buy, but if the dodgers makes a playoff run and Sho enters Spring with two-way health, it may end up not being a bad time.
