Okay, we are in Volume 4 of the 2018 Bowman Draft Pricing Ladder and we are ALREADY seeing the average auto price move north…In fact, overall base auto prices went up 5% this week with above average volume. There is definitely some impressive demand for Bowman Draft and this likely a good sign for the baseball market in 2019.
But, I do think this impressive demand is likely the combination of two factors.
- The product is good. Not over-printed, great distribution of color, and a nice checklist.
- Anticipating an underwhelming 2019 Rookie Class. I suspect the fact that there is no way the 2019 MLB rookie class compares to 2018 (or 2017) could be pushing investors to refocusing on this release of Bowman Draft.
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.

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.
