Anyone know why it's "Bowman's Best" for baseball, but "Bowman Best" (no 's) for basketball and football releases?

I don't think they knew where to put the " 's" (I certainly don't) -- It's "Bowman's Best" for Baseball and "Bowman U Best" for Basketball and Football (the Font/Logo kind of butchers the name)

I like the looks of the Strokes of Gold insert. If rare, those will command a pretty penny.

They were 1:288 last year so I'm assuming they will stay as "case hits"

Most likely case hits, I agree. I think these look better than last years version. Maybe its the "heavy" and "real" looking paint that grabs my attention more than the Microsoft Paint version they did last year. If they would go a step further and do it slightly raised they would be even better.

We got a checklist with card numbering yet?

We need some excitement.

I miss when Bowman’s Best was a true high end premium product. Now it’s just another product. Same with Finest.

mfw13 · 01-06-2026, 08:40 PM

Base card design is much better than the 2025 Flagship design

I'll be buying a complete set from somebody.....

No checklist, the fanatics way

Most products I'm usually more or less ok with no checklist as you know what you're getting.... Bowman's Best is one of those where I'd REALLY like to see a checklist before spending ~$3k on a case.

Historically it's one of my favorite releases so might grab a case regardless and then open or sell depending on the checklist and how breaks are looking early.

and 2023. and 2019. and 2018.

and 2022 is right at that ~350 mark

2020 and 2021 are under, sure.

edit: guess you can find some single boxes for cheaper... but you're probably buying single boxes of this stuff after someone hit the case hit or super low color/autos and are dumping the rest of their boxes.

2018 grabbing cases for $999, haven’t been able to purchase a case of anything for pure enjoyment since 2022 lol.

phil · 02-09-2026, 12:05 PM

I guess value is moot since I can't buy any, "don't accept MC" error within the first couple attempts

prospectorgems · 02-09-2026, 12:06 PM

Why would the bots buy up all this product? there can't be a ton of room for profits I wouldn't think?

ctgalloway21 · 02-09-2026, 12:06 PM

Not so much bots as Fanatics blocking most of the general public so they can create FOMO and sell it to breakers at a higher price

This right here ^

I would be shocked if they released more than 20 cases to the general public pre-sale.
