There are two “Tier 1” prospects, according to Cardlines’ Nicole Cahill rankings of the top 2024 Bowman 1st cards. Those players are the Washington Nationals’ Dylan Crews and the Minnesota Twins’ Walker Jenkins.
It should be no surprise that these two teams are so far some of the most sought-after in 2024 Bowman breaks so far with the Washington Nationals the highest “PYT” team at $195 and the Minnesota Twins #3 at $120.
Crews is the #5 ranked prospect in the MLB by Baseball America and was given a $9 million signing bonus after being drafted #2 overall in 2023.
The New York Yankees are the 2nd most sought after team in the set at $120, partly because they are the New York Yankees but also because of Tier 2 shortstop George Lombard Jr.
Another top team, the Boston Red Sox at $105 for six boxes, does not have a player in Tier 1 or Tier 2. You have to go to Tier 3, before you see a Red Sox in catcher Kyle Teel, which we describe as the “highest upside of any player in Tier 3.” The team also has another Tier 3 player in shortstop Yoeilin Cespedes.
Other teams with Top 2 prospects:
While each of these teams have value about where we would expect compared to other teams, the Pittsburgh Pirates break values have been lackluster so far, only going for around $35. Indeed Suero, who is a switch fielding outfielder and only 18 years old, is described by Cardlines as a “as an under-the-radar 1st Bowman prospect.”
The release of 2024 Bowman presents baseball collectors with yet another round of 1st Bowman cards. Some will quickly fall by the wayside never to be heard again, some will gain in value only to peter out while others will be sleepers for now and gain favor with the collectors in the future.
Predicting the next big thing is bit of guessing game but an unbelievably fun exercise for baseball fans and collectors alike.
We hope you find some value in our 2024 Bowman Break analysis to find a team or teams at below market rates. Good luck!
