This series continues with a few additional offerings in 2022 Bowman Chrome.

2022 Bowman Chrome value

With any Bowman product, the long-term value comes down to the rookies and prospects included in that particular year’s product. Sometimes, it can take a few years for the standouts to become obvious.

2021 Bowman Chrome boxes are selling for slightly less than their 2022 Bowman Chrome counterparts are pre-selling for.

Will 2022 hold these prices? If you believe in the rookie checklist, it’s worth the risk. If you think the rookie class doesn’t stand the test of time, it’s better to break the box or skip the product.

Final thoughts on Bowman Chrome 2022
