The 2021 Bowman Baseball set is now out so you can begin a new prospect hunt. There are only 100 cards in the base set. You would really find any second string catchers or other journeymen here. The base set is all stars, (Trout and Acuna and Tatis, Oh my) and rookies. The second part of the set consists of 150 prospects including the coveted 1st Bowmans. The cards themselves have the team logo on the front and then just the city on a tab. Cities with more than one team will be something like NYM or NYY and also LAA or LAD. The cards will say Veteran, Rookie or Prospect on both the top and bottom tab. Rookies will also have the ‘Rookie Logo’. Some cards will also have a ‘1st Bowman’ logo if this is the first time they have a prospect card.
There are Parallels available and there are also a gaggle of inserts that are unique to Bowman. These include:
Scout 100 (1 in 4 packs) (Um, 100 cards)

1991 Bowman throwback (1 in 8 packs) (25 cards)
Talent Pipeline (1 in 12 packs) (20 Cards)
Positional Promise (1 in 24 packs) (20 Cards)
Let me give you an idea of what to expect from a pack. I’ll use a Fat Pack as an example.
A fat pack will normally include 19 cards.
Fat Pack #1 Breakdown:
Rookies: 3
Veterans: 4
Inserts: 2 (These two were a ‘Top 100’ and a ‘Futurist’
Prospects 6: (That’s what we are really here for, right?)
And that’s it 15 cards….oh, wait there is also 4 Bowman Chrome cards of Prospects. I forgot to mention them. Maybe that’s what we are really here for.
Fat Pack #2 Breakdown:
Rookies: 2
Veterans: 5
Inserts: 2 (These two are a ‘1991 Bowman Throwback’ and a Blue Parallel)
Prospects: 6
Bowman Chrome Prospects: 4
So, there are 4 main types of cards. The Base veterans/rookies, the Prospects, the Chrome Prospects and the various inserts which can include autographs/parallels
The 2021 Bowman Baseball set is one of the cornerstones of the Topps product line. Bowman was once a rival of Topps until they lost the 1950’s Baseball Card War and disappeared. Or so it seemed until Topps revived the line with its 1989 Bowman set.
