What's Buzz-worthy: I haven't had the worst breaks ripping into 2020 Bowman in this format -- I've landed a handful of parallels, some ink and at least two (maybe three ... I can't remember) copies of Jasson Dominguez's first Bowman prospect card here. (No Chrome, though.) This box wasn't the flashiest but the Dominguez as well as some key Rookie Cards and a Bobby Witt Jr. insert appearance get it to the A- mark for me ... at least buying at the suggested retail price. These aren't all that rare (for now) at retail as shelves are finally getting reloaded closer to typical levels -- with mega boxes also an option at Target stores -- but they are vanishing just as quickly as they get stocked as returning collectors, box-flippers, prospectors and other collectors are all battling to get their shots at the latest top prospects' first cards. There are a few here as well as shots at retail-only Chrome autos (Green) that do include Dominguez. Hobby and jumbo are your best shots at chasing his ink -- hit that link up top -- but if you want to dabble a little cheaper with no guaranteed autos in a box this is perhaps your best option.
