Bowman Red Rookie Redemptions arrive in 2025 Bowman MLB

A new twist on cardboard arrives in 2025 Bowman.
It's the Bowman Red Rookie Redemption program and it allows for card-holders of certain versions of Chrome Rookie Cards found in packs to be held for Fanatics FanCash in the short term or for the long haul.
Thirty rookies will be part of the program and if one wins Rookie of the Year then it's good for $100 in credit. Then there are escalators for MVP or Cy Young awards ... and if one wants to collect for the long haul then they're good for $1,000 credit if that player makes the Hall of Fame.
Keep reading for full info, a gallery of the cards and the player list.
