Containing only 12 cards (including 4 autographs) per box at a cost of up to $20 per card, this is a somewhat premium product. But what can prior boxes tell us about the potential future value of these in a “buy and hold” scenario?
Year | Recent Comp Price |
---|---|
2022 | $225-240 |
2021 | $230-260 |
2020 | $240-315 |
2019 | $450-600 |
These prices suggest at least a solid potential for these to hold or gain value if kept unopened.
What about when opened? A look at sales of singles from 2021 shows that some key cards sell for $1,000+, especially in high-grade slabs. Think names like Bobby Witt Jr., Julio Rodriguez, Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani, and Wander Franco.
Quite a few more sell for over $500, with even more in the $200-400 range. So, there is value to be found here, although it’s not guaranteed.
There are plenty of 2021 Bowmans’ Best cards, including Refractors and Autographs, that have sold for next to nothing, including under $1. But if the gamble is attractive to you, and you understand the risks, this could be a box with some potential payback.
A high-end product with some interesting parallels, inserts, and autographed offerings, 2022 Bowman’s Best is going to be popular with collectors. With 4 autographs per box and a shot at some strong value, this is a box that may be worth purchasing, whether you plan to break it or buy and hold.
