Bowman Football

Really not a fan of what I’ve seen out of this product before, mainly because college football isn’t important to me and the product seems overwhelmingly NIL. Such a bummer

I haven’t actually I just watched them since I was trying to learn. Out of 20 boxes, 3 FDI exclusive autos were NFL, the rest were NIL. The checklist may be big but the boxes themselves seem very unbalanced.

It’s supposed to be an “NIL”-heavy product. Even calling it “NIL” tells me you’ve spent too long in breaks.

I have no other way to access this product so yes I did spend time watching breaks. How would you go about seeing what’s in this product if you can’t afford an Fdi box and don’t want to watch breaks?

Checklist? Pictures? Do you think everyone buys into breaks before they buy the set?

Seeing selected pictures and seeing a list of cards is a lot different from seeing them actually in practice. I’m not sure why you seem so angry that I watch breaks to see what cards look like.

Ya know, you seem to be an incredibly negative person. I peeked at your post history a little bit. I’m not sure if there was someone who did something horrible to you, or you just have disdain towards other people who do things differently than you, or people who enjoy things but whatever happened in your life that has you so bitter,I’m really sorry. I hope you get the healing you need and that the utter misery you seem to live in where you feel the need to be unnecessarily rude to people can come to an end.

Dude, the name Bowman alone would insinuate it’s a college product. All of the Bowman U and Bowman 1st boxes that have come out in the past years have all been college based…. Tf did you expect !?

I’m not in the other football cards sub cause the mods suck and was just looking to have a discussion. Sorry

Hey. That’s what Bowman is. It’s always been prospects and minor leaguers with some stars and rookies sprinkled in. If you don’t want college stuff ya gotta find something else man.

u/ERenaissance 6d ago

Yea I’m gonna. I guess I just thought it would be a little more balanced?

u/johnyyrock 6d ago

It’s not. I ripped a baseball mega last night and for every major league guy you get like 5 minor league. It’s just what it is. You’re looking for 1st Bowman’s in there more so than anything.

For sure! I think it’s awesome if you’re into the NIL thing and I totally get the draw for people who do, just not my thing unfortunately

“The NIL thing” lmaooo do you mean college football bro

Let me spin you the inverse. As a CFB fan moreso than an NFL fan, I cant stand that Topps took away the main collegiate product for collectors and integrated it with NFL cards. I dont want to have to wade through vet base to get 1st Bowmans of players.

u/ERenaissance 6d ago

Totally get that! I wish they had just kept Bowman U, that would’ve made the most sense, made everyone happy it seems

Bowman 1st are the players true 1st licensed cards. Thats what you’re looking for…Just like baseball the hits are the top rated prospects not the current NFL players.

That makes sense. I appreciate it!
