2024 Bowman University Chrome FB Giddy Anticipation Thread

[hairysasquatch]

For all the BUCbois to assemble and begin hyping ourselves for this year's release of the greatest product to hit the FB market since Topps lost its license!

[TheFrenzy]

Linking now.

[SethMurphy]

this is the most exciting thing to happen today

[jplarson]

I can't wait for Topps to drop news on this. Please be sure to update the first post with links and checklists once they are known! I'd like to get some Riley Leonard in a Notre Dame uniform and continue completing base and easy insert sets. Maybe see some 1999 Bowman throwbacks inserts this time for the 25th anniversary?

Attaboy!

Who do ya’ll think will be the big chases this next year? I’m assuming no Arch, but hopefully we at least get Nico Iamaleava and Noah Fifita firsts.

[Fenway55]

I have already budgeted for BUC, BUC Sapphire and BUC Best. Can't wait!

I think Jaxson Dart makes the playoffs and will be a nice pull (although he has already had his 1st year card). Dillon Gabriel. Shedeur Sanders. Carson Beck.

Hoping for some TreVeyon Henderson and Carnell Tate 1st Bowmans

[hairysasquatch]

Can't wait for a whole slew of 1sts!

Dart has a lot of potential this season. Ole Miss is a team that can do a lot of damage IMO.

Fifita, yes.

For Iamaleava, Fanatics being Fanatics likely means we won't see a "1st". Since he was in Best U, if they follow the same trend that they have previously it means his 2024 Chrome U card won't have the 1st. I don't think it's a huge deal - it's moreso frustrating that Fanatics continues to put players in Best (without having them in the same years Chrome U).

Iamaleava would still sell super well, but it's pure laziness that it won't have a 1st.

You know I'm in!

Can we possibly get Kenneth Grant in this?

That would be nice. I say this every year, but load it up with OSU and Michigan guys, along with Tennessee and Iowa to name a few. Those fan bases go after it hard, and guys from those schools (assuming they are decent names) always sell well.

Ohhhh, thanks for the explanation. I guess that’s why all my KJ Jefferson cards from last year weren’t firsts either. Yeah, not the end of the world, just not as nice as it could be.

Remember when Kenneth Grant ran down the PSU RB? That was a moment!

I’ve seen nothing on this. I’m sure it’s coming at some point but PLEASE don’t get my hopes up without more details. WHEN is this coming?

Would like to know this too, I'd like to try to save up for a case.

[hairysasquatch]

I would guess some time around August to October.

A release right around the start of the season would be hype!

That's how it was timed last year.

[foleylion08]

I need a Jalen Milroe 1st. Not ready for Alabama to have another dozen players represented, though.

[gowizards0]

i'm ready

wish i bought more last year

No Arch? Panini exclusive thing? So he won't be in any Bowman stuff? Or just no Arch because he's not a starter?

I'm guessing Topps held out Manning from 2023 since the product was loaded anyways. I figure he'll get his Bowman 1st in 2024. I don't know how all-encompassingly the exclusive with Panini is vs the deal Fanatics has with CLC and Texas. Might be a thing where he gets cards but no autos. The exclusive part might have only been for 2023 stuff. Heck, he might opt out altogether, who knows!
