96/97-97/98 Bowman's Best?

Does 1996/97 - 97/98 Bowman's Best tend to discolor horrendously like Finest & Chrome? I fear the answer is going to be bad since its a Topps product - but I've never seen it on any eBay listings. I've never held any in my hand but would like to change that and am considering adding some to my collection.

You should be fine with Bowman's Best. Man did I like that product back then, and still think its an amazing brand. Topps Chrome, and Finest are horrible with the discoloration, it disgusting.

I just opened a box of 97-98 Bowman's Best earlier in the year and the coloring was perfectly fine. I've also bought singles from both years and haven't noticed any issues.

I’ve been told 97-98 had no issues but not sure about 96-97. The 97-98 atomica at 1:3000 packs are fantastic cards.

Lol this guy was on a rampage.

But no, that's inaccurate. 96-97 Bowman's can green as bad as Finest/Chrome.
Take a look at the Webber/Hardaway Honor Roll Atomic Refractor that ended on ebay recently for a prime example. It may not be as prevalent with 97-98. It's a shame too because 96-97 is one of my favorite sets.
