A Review of My Past Bowman Baseball Recommendations (2019)

Almost three years has past since the 2019 Bowman products have been released. Looking back at the checklists and articles was fun. Overall this year in Bowman history was not as strong as other years. Most of these prospects are still on my watch list or I passed on. Most of the top prospects were high priced upon released so I did not really recommend to buy. 

I do this after three years to hold myself accountable. Links to the original articles are below. Its a good feeling to know that my instincts were sharp around this time as all card prices were starting to rise and it was very difficult to take big swings. If you miss on a prospect you want it to be on a mid to low tier player that is not priced too high. That is very hard to do these days as prices have never been higher.
