What’s Buzz-worthy: Chasing prospect base cards, Chrome and some parallels are done a bit more cheaply if you take this route and as this lot shows there are autographs and numbered cards to be found here. The retail-only Yellow parallels are your best bet at big names more easily. This Bowman release was one of the better-designed ones of the last few years’ worth of looks that push beyond the normal card frames, too. If you’re prospector-oriented or a beginner looking that direction and want an affordable rip, this is one to consider.
