2018 Bowman Prices

antmr7 · 02-06-2018, 06:32 PM

I noticed today that presale for 2018 Bowman is $125 for hobby and $275 for jumbo, I have not seen presale prices for Bowman this high in a long time. Do we think they are inflated as was Bowman Tek at one point preselling for $175 a box and has landed around $75 or so a box? I know Otani is causing the demand to go up and cause the increase but I wonder what the price may be closer to release, is $350 possible for jumbo? What do you think

anusinha · 02-06-2018, 06:38 PM

Well... it releases 1 month after the season starts... so if Ohtani is 4-0 with 50Ks and a perfect game, this thing is $800 a box. If he blows out his arm and needs Tommy John, its down to $150 or so.

ThoseBackPages · 02-06-2018, 06:40 PM

it depends. dont compare it to Bowman Tek, that was a bad release

TheWrightStuff · 02-06-2018, 06:43 PM

Imagine what prices would be up to if Otani ended up with the Yankees.

It has been a long time since never.

2010 (Strasburg) did have a somewhat similar meteoric rise but it didn't reach this level until after release, and that was after it was apparent the print run was quite conservative.

Is it already time to start the 2018 case price jumping thread?

nera20 · 02-06-2018, 06:59 PM

i remember pulling a base darvish chrome auto and getting 600 for it the foreign player markup is crazy and so few ever live up to the hype

is otani gonna be ichiro or irabu who knows

Kcelelli · 02-06-2018, 07:03 PM

Going to be out of my price range this year sadly

hermanotarjeta · 02-06-2018, 08:31 PM

Folks, there might exist better bowman products to open at value prices compared to those for 2018, hint hint.

rutgersjpm · 02-06-2018, 08:33 PM

Remember, the price of something is whatever someone is willing to pay. If Blowout bumped presale prices up and they were still moving product, why not continue to bump it?

Does anyone else think the numbering still belongs on the back of Bowman

I'm curious if it was tough to serial number the back of the cards due to the design.

only if seller scan the back

reddragonthe · 02-06-2018, 09:24 PM

I predict a $3000 jumbo case price peak between now and 3 weeks after release.

prospects · 02-06-2018, 09:29 PM

I predict that you are right

DJP73 · 02-06-2018, 09:42 PM

I don't know about 3,000. But prices will only go up, so people better buy it now even if they want it!!

DJP73 · 02-06-2018, 09:43 PM

Wonder how much Otani would go for in Houdini's 50 caser. 10,000!! Could get crazy!!

Hiphipjorge · 02-06-2018, 09:48 PM

Can’t stand when they put the serial number on the front of the card. With 2017 Bowman’s.bsst they slapped the number in the middle of the card and it ruined many of the cards for me

dasiegel · 02-07-2018, 01:08 AM

man with ohtani now in... and signing in japanese lol. this product is gonna be fiiiiyah!

I love the serial # on the front. Sellers have gotten lazier and lazier over the years, often never listing the actual serial # or posting up a card back scan when selling. Having it on the front eliminates this.

I agree. I'd like to know the serial number in auction listings as well. Drives me nuts when they can't list the number or post a picture of the back. Especially when they say "see picture for details" but not all the details are in the picture......

The Japanese signature is pretty cool.

KhalDrogo · 02-07-2018, 08:07 AM

Jumbos sold out again. Wonder what they price at on the return. At this point I feel like the smart thing to do is sell my case, and buy a case of 2018 Draft in the fall plus something nice like a 2011 BC Trout.
