Whoa! 2018 Bowman is in the house. One of the hottest products over the last few years has finally hit the streets and has now been live for over a week. This means that we can finally provide you with some insights into the product and what you can expect for player pricing. We will update this every week until the All-Star break and give you the opportunity to see how Chrome Auto’s perform over the 1st half of the season.
In order to give you a good a glimpse of how pricing changes so fast during the first few weeks, I split the pricing in 3 day increments. You’ll notice how many folks overpay during the first 72 hours of release. In fact, 46 of the 60 chrome auto’s dropped in average price after 72 hours…and on average the chrome auto’s pulled back 40.5%. This doesn’t mean these are a bunch of losers…this is just normal. The prices now are stabilizing and you can start making your investments!
We also have our 🔥The HOT 5🔥 at the top of the report. This will highlight the 5 players who’ve seen a substantial price movement and a higher than usual buying activity. These guys might not fall in the Top 10… but they will be potential indicators of guys you need to watch.
In addition, we have a COLORED REFRACTOR MULTIPLIER chart at the bottom to help you understand the prices you should be paying for the colored autographs.
But…before we dive in to this week’s report, we want to thank our sponsor for the 2018 BOWMAN PRICING LADDER – BATTLEFIELD BREAKS. If you haven’t had a chance to check out Tyler and his the Battlefield Breaks Facebook Group, get over and check them out HERE:

Criteria
We run reports on all prospects’ & RC’s for Bowman BASE CHROME AUTO sales for a given period. We exclude any variation, auto, insert, graded, or memorabilia prices to make sure you are getting a good representation of the actual base auto pricing. We use Base Auto prices as a baseline because they are considered by many to be the de facto standard for “base” prospect cards for MLB players. We also do our best to remove the countless MISLABELED listings for players, but there is always a chance a random auction can slightly skew the #’s. We’ll keep a close eye.
