Friday, January 26, 2018Year: 2013 Set: Bowman Platinum - Prospects (Rate) “ I really, really, liked 2010 Bowman Platinum (yes it is a Bowman product and I've voiced my opinion on that a few dozen times) but I bought a box when I first got back into collecting for rather cheap (before I guy named Trout exploded) and pulled 2 printing plates, one auto'ed, in the same box. They are long since gone, traded back when I was on Beckett and can't even remember the guys' names (the auto's last name was Wilson) so the next week I went back and bought another box. Pulled a few Prospect Trout parallels, which a year later turned into some fine trade currency. As for the design...once again it is a Bowman release but I really liked the look of these then, and still do today. Clean, space well used, etc.. ” -rmpaq5
“ Cool card. I always liked the different cards they made but never liked how many different ones. ” -Parsons0311
“ I don't care for prospect sets. Trevor Story has actually become a full time major league player but too many cards are made of players that never make in the majors. ” -davidhandberry
“ And just as quickly as he arrived, Trevor's story faded into mediocrity and obscurity. ” -Brimose
“ How many variations or inserts of these are there? A rhetorical question. ” -Sportzcommish
“ Bowman sets are so confusing now. I just can't get into them like the old Bowman. The parallels...ugh ” -suomibear8
“ One of my favorite brands. Good player photos, smart looking design. ” -KMack
“ Unpopular opinion time: I hate what Bowman has become with the prospect card sets. Just feels like it takes something away from when a guy actually makes the big leagues and has a bona fide rookie card to call his own. This card predates Story's big league debut by three years yet boldly lists him as a member of the Colorado Rockies. At least this card doesn't have him photoshopped into a Rockies uniform like the more recent releases would. Minor league cards I like, but they don't try to make any false claims about the player being a member of the parent squad. ” -OCHawkeye
“ HHHBN01 - Hate hate hate Bowman numbering ” -NJDevils
“ Nice card, and a pretty respectable scan. ” -dilemma19
“ One year wonder? ” -carthage44
“ At times I like Bowman Platinum and at times I don't. (like their numbering system and the fact they are Prospect cards yuck) They are very bare bones. ” -captkirk42
“ I don't know about the muted blue (platinum blue, I presume) background, but otherwise the front is pretty appealing to me. ” -kents_stuff
“ Dude was on major league cards in 2013, but his rookie cards are 2016, due to the BPP prefix in his card number. ” -switzr1
“ The Story is that he is just an average player. ” -kirkscards
