CARDBOARD REVIEW:2021 Bowman Sterling Baseball (Solid Pull)

As I said a few breaks ago, this is the time of the year to focus on the future of a lot of baseball franchises so a lot of late baseball card releases cover that.

Today's product is a perfect example as it's loaded with all rookies and prospects for the future of a lot of franchises. Let's check out a box break of 2021 Bowman Sterling baseball.

 

Every box of 2021 Bowman Sterling baseball comes with 5 mini boxes. Each mini box has one pack and one autograph and five other cards. So there should be a total of five autographs overall to be had. Boxes currently are running around $300.

BASE:

 

Another chromed product makes this blogger happy! You can never have too many (as I see many of you glare)

Let's take a look at the product instead then :)

Bowman Sterling is split up into two base sets to chase in Sterling. There is a Prospect base set and a 

Rookie base set.

Each set has 100 cards each and has many of the big names you would expect.

PARALLELS:

Refractor /199, Speckle /99, Magenta /75, Gold /50, Blue /25, Black Atomic /10, Red /5, SuperFractor 1/1, and Printing Plates 1/1.

(NIIIIIICEEEE)

OVERALL THOUGHTS:

Price is a bit steep for me, but the prospecting gambling type may be a deal. I haven't seen enough breaks of the product to judge whether there is a decent hit in every break or not. It's probably best if you jump in on a box break if you can't afford a break or find someone who is selling a mini box. Maybe one of those can be found for $60.

Let me know your thoughts on today's box break below!

Check out Cards Over Coffee please and once again add it to your blogrolls and even a add onto your post would be appreciated as well!

CARDBOARD REVIEW:2019 Bowman Sterling Baseball (HUGE HITS)

Guess what's back...back again...Sterlings back..tell your friends.

Well, I am.

It's been five long years since we have seen Bowman Sterling but now it's back on the market and it is hot stuff. I have seen so many breaks of it and just about all of them had big hits.

So when I finally got my hands onto a box, I hoped to hit the same and guess what....I did.

Wanna see it, well read on!

 

Every box of 2019 Bowman Sterling baseball comes with 5 packs of 6 cards. Each pack has an autograph, making it five autographs per box, and each box runs roughly $220.

BASE:

The base is a simple chrome design. Looks pretty familiar to past releases. Has a border which most collectors like.

There are 100 cards in the base set including rookies and prospects. So this is not a veteran based product. However, all of the key prospects and rookies are included.


PARALLELS:
Being chromed, we are expecting refractors and they did not disappoint here.

Overall look at refractors:
Base Refractor /199, Speckle /99, Gold /50, Blue /25, Black Atomic /10, Red /5, SuperFractor 1/1, and Printing Plates 1/1.

INSERTS:
I don't know how often inserts fall, but I pulled one and it was a beaut!

HITS:
Overall looking at the autograph parallels, Base Refractor /150, Wave /125, Speckle /99, Orange /75, Gold /50, Blue /25, Black Atomic /10, Red /5, and SuperFractor 1/1.

Luis Urias refractor! Nice card!

Vladimir Guerrero Jr! Woooooooooooooooooo! Blue Sterling Die Cut auto /25! This was actually out of my first pack so it set the pace for the rest of the break.

Other hits not in my box include,

• Sterling Retrospect Autographs
• Dual Refractor Autographs
• Triple Refractor Autographs

OVERALL THOUGHTS: Don't think I have opened anything this hot all year. Two nice autos, three others with potential. Then on top of it some decent named base and a /10 insert hit. I can see why I could hear and see so many collectors raving about this product.

My only wish going forward if this product continues to stay is adding in some veteran content. Maybe like 50 base. I know most Bowman products focus on rookies and prospects but it would be great to see some vets mixed in with these great designs.

If you want in on a box break of this product without paying box prices, I suggest Midwest Box Breaks as they pull fire!

Box Break Mail Day From Jammin JDcards

Received in these two cards from my recent box break with Jammin JDcards who broke a box of Bowman Sterling. Despite not hitting it big, still a couple of nice cards especially the Ellington who has proven for the Cardinals he is an all down back and a future star.

As always thoughts are welcomed on our mail days. Please make sure to join in on a Jammin JDcards box break because you just never know what you will hit. BIG MOJO was found in the first breaks.
