2012 Bowman Jumbo Pack

There is always a great expectation around the Bowman set. The self designated 'Home of the Rookie Card' hasn't failed to deliver in the past few years.

The 2010 Bowman Stephen Strasburg Superfractors sold for stupid money. In  2011 another National, Bryce Harper,  had Bowman cards selling for, not quite the heady heights of the Starsburg, but it was still highly sought after. No players setting the collecting world alight in 2012, although the inclusion of Harper again was enough to make this a desirable product.

There are 220 cards in the base set, available in a number of different variations, red, orange, blue and gold

There are 110 prospects available in base and chrome, also in a number of different variations, red, orange, green , blue and purple. Although it is the Chrome refractors and superfractors that collectors are after.

#20 Jacoby Ellsbury
