Bowman baseball - you'll love it

Al texted me the other day to entice me with something to trade for more Braves - "I have a new stack of Bowman baseball you'll love it". Well I did tell him I didn't need any more Topps base or late 80s cards. Bowman's not necessarily my favorite, but they're OK in small doses, and a card I don't have is a card I need. I picked them up today. His Braves guy didn't show up so we'll see if he ends up needing any more.

Turns out it was a stack of a few dozen cards from 2019 Bowman, mostly the base set but a few BPs and BCPs. I brought the whole stack home, along with a few other randoms he'd found. Here's the Bowman keepers. The big deal is that he had a Judge he let me take. Jazz Chisholm's in there too, I didn't know he started off as a Diamondback.

The pile had heavy duplication, though it was mostly stars which is nice. I'll bring most of these back in a couple of weeks when I'm in the city next, but hopefully there's some cards that may fit some readers collections. In particular check out all those Mike Trouts! Is he no longer such a big deal?

In the other little stack of cards I found some keepers, including a few from '18 Topps Update. Some really nice horizontal cards here.

And some more I didn't need, but maybe a reader does. Mostly Topps Update but there's also a nice silver pack Ozzie Smith.
