Product Overview
2024 Bowman Chrome Baseball is basically the second installment of the year’s main Bowman trilogy. Largely a continuation of 2024 Bowman Baseball, the checklist is driven by three things: prospects, autographs and Refractors.
The base set has 100 cards. This is where collectors will not only find veterans but a lot of rookies. These are often an overlooked part of the product, though, as Bowman is connected more today with its prospects and those getting some of their earliest MLB cards.
To that end, there are another 100 Bowman Chrome Prospects cards. These carry on directly from where things left off in 2024 Bowman, making for a larger set.
Both the base cards and Chrome Prospects carry a similar design. All have a wide assortment of Refractors that parallel each card. These include several new “Reptilian” colors that have patterns around the border.
2024 Bowman Chrome Baseball has three different types of variations. For starters, 12 rookies from the base set have Image Variations with different photos. There are also 10 Rookie Color Run and 20 total Etched in Glass Variations that include both rookies and prospects.
Like all of the main Bowman sets, Chrome Prospect Autographs are the key to the entire checklist. For those getting their first such card, it instantly becomes one of their most important baseball cards, period. As a prospect evolves into a superstar, it’s their 1st Bowman Chrome Autograph that acts as the benchmark. This is a big reason why Bowman, Bowman Chrome and Bowman Draft are, historically, among the most popular products each year.
Chrome Prospect Autographs also have a full rainbow including one-of-one Superfractors.
Other signed inserts on the 2024 Bowman Chrome Baseball checklist include Chrome Rookie Autographs, All America Game Autographs, limited Prime Choice Signatures, and Chrome Auto Relics.
