One of the biggest grips about Bowman baseball is that it is not always easy to know who to chase, who sell and who to hide - especially after the product is released. After all, these are prospects, and some of them haven’t even spent a full year among minors. Every experienced baseball collector has his own Bowman bust story: they invested in a player who had a lot of investment, who never fully entered the major leagues, or did it and were sent back very quickly.
Fortunately, experts as experienced as Mantel users, they process these numbers. Bob released his, including the average selling price of each player’s first Bowman Auto. This is the best-selling 2025 Bowman Prospects one week after launch.
Arizona's first-round draft pick in 2024 was only 18 years old, but he made the top 10 thanks to a great high school career and a minor's first bat.

The Rangers' 2025 first-round pick is the most important capture prospect in their organization, giving him a great chance to make it to the Grand Slam in the coming years.
Franklin can play. In 2025 alone, he tore a high-A with a 0.331 average.
Last year, winemaker 18-year-old shortstop Luis Pena hit .394 on the DSL and strikeout rate was 8.2% (yes, very good).

Quinn is the only pitcher on this list, but considering that Cardinal's #2 prospect is already in Triple-A, his MLB debut may be faster than later.
Zyhir Hope's first Bowman card is actually included in the 2024 Bowman Draft Product, but it is not signed and is not listed as "No. 1 Bowman". That hasn't stopped collectors from eagerly looking forward to his first official car in 2025.
The injury hasn't stopped the Tigers' #2 prospect from becoming one of only four Bowman in 2025, with Bowman's base No. 1 car selling for over $100.

The Cardinal's first prospect has quickly risen to Double-A and aimed at the roster. It's not surprising that he'll see his MLB debut back in the season.
Charlie Condon is still adjusting the Rockies Farm system, so it's surprising to see his market value so high. But, considering his major college career as the best division 1 player in 2024, the hype is understandable.
Personally, I was the fool of the first Bowman Chrome racing with the Rockies purple pairing, so they sold for about $1,000 per person, which was a shame.
The hype around is unique. Basically the first Bowman car's command price is over $250, and it doesn't happen to 18-year-olds. So far, he has shown as much potential in minors and DSL as any Bowman prospect in recent years.
