“ Very dark. Terrific picture though, capturing the pitched ball just right. ” -switzr1

“ "The player is right underneath that small moon." "That's not a small moon, it's a space station!!!" ” -revnorb

“ This oughta be good. Can't wait to hear scanning commentary on this one. ” -Dave Sosidka

“ This Bowman chrome set is one of the ones I do not like at all. The cards scan awful and are awful in person to begin with. Back in the late 80s early 90s when the foil and chrome craze started I didn't mind to much as since at first it only on occasion and looked pretty cool (even the early low-tech hologram cards were pretty cool) but the OVER did it over the years and now most things chrome are annoying to me. I know there are some people who love all things shiny ” -captkirk42

“ As with most chrome scans, have to be careful and evaluate the design and not how the scan turns out. With that said...this isn't great. Bowman designs are usually too bland in my opinion. And having the designs of the different subsets/insert sets whatever you want to call them (Draft, prospects, etc..) look so similar to the standard is sometimes very confusing to tell what a card is just by looking at the front. ” -rmpaq5

“ Not a bad scan for a Chrome card. ” -carthage44

“ Maybe it looks nice in hand, but it's nearly impossible to make anything out on the scanned front. Back is good, albeit crowded. ” -dilemma19

“ I wonder how often he hears "Brad Baisley , the country singer ?" ” -uncaian

“ Ugh...chrome scans. ” -suomibear8

“ I'm sure this looks great in hand but the front is so hard to read on iPad ” -aussiewayne

I'm with captkirk42 on this one. When "chrome" cards were first introduced I thought they were cool. Now I hate them.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

I love Chrome/Finest cards in hand, but since I began scanning my collection in 2009 I like them significantly less.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.
