Default 2022 Bowman Sterling

No thread yet. Seems to be going for $325 most places.

Checklist isn’t bad. Just unknown on what’s redemption vs live.

Let's hope Topps fixed their roller marks with Sterling

Damn, have a linky to it? It's plagued Sterling the last few years, Sterling never had roller marks until they brought it back

Can't find the tweet but a few cards listed are showing some lines. Looks like Topps tried to incorporate the design to hide the lines:

Which do you all prefer for the same price :
2022 bowman sterling or 2022 bowman chrome?

I don't think Sterling is known for having all the international prospects that Chrome typically has, is it? I haven't followed Sterling all that closely over the years.

Ugh, no etching either. Premium products need etching, even if they disbanded it with chrome.

Cheap cheap cheap

Should be an easy product to discontinue as we move forward when demand goes from very little to nonexistent.

That's a HUGE white spot where they are to sign. It's way too big in my opinion and really takes away from the design

I know this is true —- why did you think it’s the case?

Oh God that is a hideous design. Fanatics cutting corners anywhere they can.

Sterling used to be nice. Always too expensive, but at least the singles were nice.

Agreed. I do like the black atomics but wish Topps would incorporate those into more products.

Sweet. My favorite release!! Will go buy a couple boxes.

I never noticed roller lines. Have ripped dozens of boxes and bought lots of singles. Was it a specific year issue?

Sometimes the centering drives me nuts. Almost all my Yordans have major rear centering issues.

Shine a light on the back. You'll see the roller lines clearly.

2020 was a really bad year for Sterling roller lines. Same with Bowman's Best that year. Must have been rona

Because I watch. Few people want this. It seems like the number gets smaller every year. As our economy finishes its flush, our hobby will continue but things will need to adjust. If I'm calling the shots at Fanatics, this is one of the products at the top of the list that needs to go. There just isn't a reason to keep having it.

Poor man's Bowman Chrome autos. Miserable to watch breaks with the stupid mini boxes. Overpriced since it came back.

Anyone seen which autos are redemptions or noticed if Witt / JRod are live?

Good way of turning $300 to $20. Unless you like bowman sterling, I'd stay away. Better yet, just avoid opening it and buy singles.

I guess people probably aren't buying this product for the Rookie Autos but the fact there are only 11 players on the Rookie Auto checklist (with some good names) and Alejo Lopez is on there too is funny to me

Agree. But that's one reason I like it so much. Many autos for the money with usually top prospects. And then a bonus for rookie cards/autos. It's been a great mix / ratio for me.
