- Welcome To OTIA Sports!
The wait is over—2025 Bowman Baseball dropped just yesterday, and the secondary market is already lighting up with major early sales. From top prospects to surprise names making waves, collectors wasted no time identifying the chases in this year’s release.
Let’s break down some of the first big-ticket transactions from the set.
Arizona Diamondbacks prospect Slade Caldwell made an immediate impression with his 1st Bowman Chrome Black Refractor Auto /10 selling for $1,250. That’s a strong opening number for the outfielder and sets the tone for what could be a big year on and off the field.
One of the more surprising early sellers is Jhostynxon Garcia of the Red Sox organization. Despite being Boston’s sixth-ranked prospect, his Gold Refractor Auto /50 sold for $755. The 22-year-old has been off to a steady start in Double-A, and collectors are clearly paying attention. His Blue Auto /150 also fetched $229, showing consistent demand.
Milwaukee’s 17-year-old phenom Jesus Made may end up being the crown jewel of this year’s Bowman release. While his lower-numbered autos are just starting to hit the market, one Red Lava Refractor Auto /5 sold for a whopping $2,000. Even his Paper Purple Auto /250 is pulling $500, positioning him as a potential top-tier chase comparable to names like Charlie Condon and Kevin McGonigle.
Charlie Condon, one of the most anticipated names in the set, has had multiple base autos sell in the $200–$225 range. A Blue Refractor Auto /150 climbed to $495.
Meanwhile, Kevin McGonigle, a promising shortstop in the Tigers system, has seen six early base auto sales between $115 and $257. His numbered parallels haven't surfaced yet but will be ones to watch.
Less than 48 hours in, the early market for 2025 Bowman Baseball is proving to be fast-moving and prospect-driven. With headliners like Made, Condon, and Caldwell already commanding serious prices—and sleepers like Garcia catching attention—this year’s 1st Bowman cards are quickly establishing their pecking order.
Collectors chasing big upside or flipping hot pulls have plenty of names to keep tabs on—and it looks like Bowman’s 2025 class is ready to deliver.
