Bowman Baseball 2025: A Collector's Dream
Bowman Baseball is back for 2025, bringing with it a fresh wave of top prospects, MLB stars, and returning fan favorites. For collectors and investors alike, Bowman Baseball represents a significant opportunity to secure "1st Bowman" cards—widely regarded as the most valuable first professional card of a player. Let's break down what makes the 2025 release a must-have for any serious card enthusiast.
What's Inside the 2025 Bowman Baseball Set?
The 2025 Bowman Baseball release features an impressive 100-card base set, including 30 MLB rookies and 70 established stars. But the real excitement lies in the 150 prospects that share the same iconic Bowman design, with separate numbering to distinguish them from veterans and rookies. Among these prospects are highly anticipated debuts like Jac Caglianone (Kansas City Royals), Charlie Condon (Colorado Rockies), JJ Wetherholt (St. Louis Cardinals), and Slade Caldwell (Arizona Diamondbacks). These first appearances make the 1st Bowman cards some of the most sought-after in the industry.
Adding even more buzz are David Ortiz Jr. and D’Angelo Ortiz, sons of Red Sox Hall of Famer David Ortiz, who are making their 1st Bowman Chrome debuts. Collectors are also thrilled to get their hands on the first rookie card of Roki Sasaki (Los Angeles Dodgers)—a promising addition to this year's lineup.
