Welcome to Volume #9 of our 2018 Bowman Draft Base Auto Pricing Ladder. This report breaks down all of the sales data up through April 25th, 2019. I mentioned in Volume #7 that this product is shaping up to be one of the strongest releases in a LONG time…and I continue to be proven correct. 🙂
Since Volume #8 (3 weeks ago), 7 of the top 10 players saw an increase of AT LEAST 10%! That’s an average RAW auto increase of at least 10%….in just 3 weeks. That really is astonishing. In addition, we saw another 5% increase in overall prices for these autos.
In addition, here is what has happened to 2018 Bowman Draft Jumbo Box Prices:
There are some great prospects in this release and that’s what ultimately will lead to a solid product… but the hobby wax prices are another good indicator of what folks believe about the hits and value in the product.
TIP: This is a great time to snag some of your favorite prospects and start thinking about GRADING the good ones.
Once again in this weeks release – pay attention to the volume indicators. These are helpful to understand where the “buyers” are spending their money. The next couple weeks you’ll start to see more of these high upside guys get swallowed up and volume will ramp. I’ll eventually start working in volume to more of the graphs, but for now it’s just a color scale and a brief rating.
Finally at the bottom of the report I tossed in a few charts that intrigue me. I’m not necessarily recommending any particular player, just showing you what the data is potentially telling us. Let’s dive into this.

Criteria
We run reports on all prospects’ Bowman Draft BASE 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.
**NOTE**
Last week we added a new component to the pricing… RELATIVE % change. Instead of just giving you the raw % change week over week, we are factoring in the OVERALL price change for Average Auto prices. This is intended to give you a more realistic picture to how a player is performing against the rest of the field. This also helps remove some of general market pullback that occurs with product releases.
